[gui-talk] avoiding IE 7 for the time being

Fri Nov 17 08:50:34 CST 2006

Hi - your understanding of this is correct - when it comes time to
download IE 7 you will get a separate dialog box come up which opens
itself in a new window which will ask you if you want to download and
install IE 7 now, install later, Etc.
Good luck and hth - Ed.

I'm not clear what you're saying.  You mean if I just go ahead and
click on 
the collective download button, all the patches will download
automatically 
without my involvement, as usual, except that when it comes to IE7,
it'll 
stop and break in on whatever I'm doing (like email, for instance),
grab the 
Jaws focus and show me a dialogue that will give me a chance to click
no on 
this one element of the download?

I'm not sure what you mean about checking things, because on the page 
itself, I see no check boxes.  You see what I mean?  So are you saying
that, 
once I begin the download, some checkbox or check boxes will come up in
this 
particular instance, because of the presence of IE7 among the potential

downloads?

Thanks.

IE7 will give you a choice even if you use the collective select.  In
any 
case you have the option to uncheck whatever download you wish so it
keeps 
coming up whenever you go back in.  I personally did the upgrade with
the 
patch.  I'm waiting for 8 to be out for a week or to so I can see what

people's problems are with it.  There's enough change that I'll let
everyone 
else work out the bugs first. <grin>

Hi all,
I'm using XP Home w/SP 2, IE 6 and Jaws 7.0.  I understand that I
could
install IE 7 and use it successfully with Jaws if I were to upgrade to
Jaws
7.1 and add to that a patch that's being offered from the Freedom
Scientific
site to enable version 7.1 to support it.

But rather than go to all that trouble, especially because a lot of
subscribers to the JFW list have reported having issues with Jaws
7.1,I've
decided simply to wait for the release of Jaws 8.0, which is said to be
IE7
ready.

So far, so good, I thought.  But  just now, realizing that the latest
Windows  critical updates were probably ready a couple of days ago, I
went
to the critical updates site and looked over the available stuff.  And
here's the problem:  there are quite a lot of critical updates
available
this month, including of course IE 7, which has been included as
everyone
knows because Microsoft has endowed it with some major security
features.

Well, ordinarily I just use the button that selects and downloads all
the
critical updates, once I look them over and determine that there aren't
any
that say they're going to modify video and possibly screw up Jaws, as
happened once to me when I had automatic updates turned on and had not
restricted it to critical updates.  I know there shouldn't be any
video-related stuff in critical updates, but I always look now,
anyway.
Better safe than sorry.

but if I use that group download control this time, it'll include IE 7
among
the downloads.  Yet I really don't want to take the time it would
require
using Jaws instead of eyes and a mouse to go from one update to the
other ,
downloading them individually except for IE7 (which makes me wonder why
they
don't set this up with check boxes, for God's sake?).

So, long story short, I remember some talk about there being a tool of
some
sort that's going around that can allow you to download critical
updates and
avoid getting IE7 in the process.  I need to learn about this now,
where to
get it, how to do all this.

Can anyone help?  Sorry not to have been paying attention before.

Thanks.
