Oh, sorry.
I don't think the download speed choice would really make much difference
unless you told it your max speed was much slower than it actually is. If
you have basic DSL, it's probably 384KBPS, tier 3 DSL and Cable is certainly
quite a bit higher.

Steve,
I apologize if I inadvertently worded my post so as to create confusion.
I mentioned the speed I normally seem to get downloading NLS titles only
because that's about the only speed I know I get and it is between two in
the combo box for one of the items Mike mentioned in setting up Adobe X to
best work with JAWS.
I don't remember seeing anything about choosing your ISP's speed in
previous versions of Adobe Reader and I don't know why Adobe should care
or needs to know.

Margaret,
Adobe won't affect your speed in download NLS books from the Bard site.

Mike,
I got Adobe Reader updated to X and am trying to get it configured to
work
best with JAWS 10 to 12 on my XP Home computer. Everything is going okay
until I get to the step 6 about choosing the speed. Cox is my ISP I know
that when I download NLS titles about 402 seems to be the upper limit of
the download speed I get when I check. What speed to I choose for Adobe
here?
Thanks,
Margaret

Hi Kerry,
Try the following;
the latest version is Adobe Reader X.
You need to disable protected view first to get it to work well with
Jaws.
Do the following:
1. From either your desktop or start menu, press enter on Adobe. The
Adobe window is now open, press control + K, to open preferences.
Another
way to
get to preferences is after pressing enter on the Adobe shortcut, press
Alt
+ E, for the edit menu, arrow up to preferences, & press enter.
3. When preferences opens you will be in a tree view and should be on the
General page, if not arrow up or down until you have General
highlighted.
It
is #4 of 29. Tab until you find a checkbox called enable protected mode
at
startup, uncheck it, choose yes on the warning you will get to continue.
You need to look at 2 more settings so, tab until you have General
highlighted again.
4. With General highlighted, press the letter I, until you have Internet
highlighted.
5. Tab to, Display PDF in browser, if this box is checked press the
spacebar
to uncheck it.
6. Tab to connection speed combobox, arrow up / down for the setting that
best matches your Internet Providers speed.
7. Tab to the okay button, press enter to close preferences & save your
changes, & press Alt + F4 to close Adobe.
If I have missed something or if there is something that should be added,
would someone please jump in & correct me?!
Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike
