Vicky,
I'm not sure if you got this or not.
But just in case, when you locate the Jaws 11 download link on the Freedom
web site, yu are given the option to Run or Save. If you choose Save, you
can download a file to a pre-determined folder. Then, yu can install the
file separately. However, Jaws does give you the option of removing those
files which are used by "other programs" and in that case, you would
choose not to uninstall the files. I don't think that Jaws over-writes
previous versions when it's installed but what it does do is to turn that
earlier version off. It's still there and if you can find the .exe file
you can create a shortcut right on your desktop to load either Jaws 10 or
Jaws 11. I did that with previous versions anyway because I wasn't sure
about the newer version.
But I think you have to actively choose to uninstall earlier Jaws
versions.
Otherwise, they stay in your computer.
John Justice

You don't lose past versions.You have ten installed and eleven will
install to a folder of its own without doing a thing to ten.

How do you go about installing the newest version, but have it
separate from the version you already have?
EG, I'd like to keep my version 10 for some things and yet have 11.x
for others. I'll just bring each up by their number.
Many thanks! Vicky
