Hello Friends,
I have not allowed my "Automatic Updates " to continue for a few months,
since I read about the I. E. 7 situation, as I only have JAWS 9.0156 on my
XP-Home machine!
I am not worried so much about "Security", as I am about downloading
something in the Windows Updates that will mess up a perfectly working
system, my thinking, is of course:
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
And as I said things are just working so perfectly, two (2) T-Drives,
fantastic sound system, no problems with JAWS or anything!
Can anyone tell me why I should allow the updates, and if so, what should I
be weary of?
I do not want to update to JAWS 10 nor 11 at this time, and JAWS 9 is
working fine, but will any of the current updates mess up JAWS 9.0156?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide me in the way of information!
With Best Regards,
Alan

Subject: [JAWS-Users] outlook express Imp Well, I hope that I got rid of the
Imp. Since I could not find any pattern
or software that was causing the outlook express settings from being
automagically changed, I suspect something is messed up in one of the
system
files. I did some internet searching and found a few year old post about
similar problems and that there was a security update. Even though I have
auto updates checked I went to look for updates to Microsoft software.
There
were quite a few that I installed. about 25 including some driver updates.
Only time will tell if this corrected the problem. There is one thing
that
I installed that I will remove something about a windows search procedure.
On the task bar it states indexing complete. The one big problem that I
had
with the driver updates was one was for my video. When the computer
restarted it was checked to install the video intercept for Jaws. I could
only read that line. It took my wife, sighted, to click on the install
button. Not sure why I could not read anything else on the screen with
either cursor. It took about six hours for all of the updates.
