Hi, Gary. I don't know if it will affect JAWS16, but with past versions of
JAWS, I have noticed that if you let JAWS update automatically, instead of
downloading the executable from the Freedom Scientific website, some of the
updates don't install correctly, and at times, it has created a situation
where updates wouldn't install at all, either from the website, or
automatically. This forced an uninstall and reinstall.

Tom,
Since it is a new computer, the only screen reader you will have available
is Narrator. If you are comfortable using Narrator, you can download the
latest build of JAWS 16 from the FS web site and install it. Once you've
located the file you downloaded and started the installation, you can shut
down Narrator and let the talking installation do the rest. Of course,
you can avoid the use of Narrator by using sighted assistance to download
and install JAWS for you.
Alternatively, you can use the talking installation on the cd to install
JAWS without using Narrator or sighted assistance and then check for
updates to get the latest build of JAWS 16. I think it's just a matter of
convenience which method you use.

Subject: Question On How Best To Install Jaws 16
Hello, all.
I realize I may get differing opinions on this, but thought I'd ask
anyway.
I am going to be receiveing a new office computer at the University where
I
teach in about 3 weeks. When the new computer arrives, I'll be upgrading
from Jaws 14 to Jaws 16.
My University already has ordered Jaws 16 for me, including an SMA for
two
additional upgrades.
My question is this: Since this will be a fresh installation, would it
be
best for me to do the installation of Jaws 16 directly from the CD, or
from
the FS web site?
I know that people have had installation issues when using the CD for
earlier versions of Jaws, which is the reason behind my question.
I also eventually plan to put Jaws 16 on my home PC, and another laptop I
use for ham radio applications, but that will be another project for
another
time. Again, of course, I'd like to know whether working from the Jaws
CD,
or the FS web site would be the best way to install the Jaws 16 upgrade.
Thank you!
Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan
