Hi Oyvind; I now do my updates the same way you & Rick have suggested so, this Silverlight thing won't get installed the next time around. Thanks much. Take care. Mike

Mike: what I meant by hiding the update in a previous thread is what Rick describes here. No updates are automatically installed on my machine. I've configured Windows Update to download updates but notify me before installing. This approach enables me to reject updates I don't want on my machine. Silverlight and Windows Live Essentials 2011 etc show up under optional updates, but by hitting the application key you have the option to hide the update. I've done that for both Silverlight and WLE 2011. Then I'm sure it's not going to be installed by accident since it's not even in the list <smile> ________________________________________ From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] on behalf of Rick Justice [ricjust...@jaws-users.com] Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 03:23 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Silverlight in control pannel Hi Gerald, It is still an optional update from Microsoft, and if a person keeps track of what is being installed to their machine thru automatic updates, then there is no reason for it to get installed. On my Win7 machine, it has been de-selected and hidden as an optional update. You just have to be pro-active about what is being downloaded and installed to your machine, and that is why I don't let any program use automatic updating.
