Re: [JAWS-Users] Multiple JAWS versions
Yes. I could not get the assessment site to verify my jaws. The whole story is, I was selected for a job position as a braille transcriber. But before the interview can happen, I need to take 3 evaluation tests for typing, excel, and Word. So after clicking the box indicating I use a screen reader, the site needed to verify my software. Unfortunately, the verification gets interrupted due to a conflict. The assessment site is overseen by IBM, and I contacted them yesterday. They informed me that the site was not compatible with JAWS 2018, and to go back to a recent version. So, after initializing version 17, the same thing happened. So, that is it in a nutshell. Thanks. -Original Message- From: Mike B. Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2018 8:17 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Multiple JAWS versions Hi Jerry, What didn't work?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Multiple JAWS versions
Hi Jerry, No, you don't need to uninstall anything. Being that you said you have Jaws 17 showing in Programs of the control panel, David is trying to see if Jaws 17 is only showing or if it's installed. If you open the start menu and open your Programs folder, arrow down to see if Jaws 17 is there. If it's there, Jaws 17 is probably already installed. To finde out for sure, this is what David is suggesting, open the Run dialogue with the keystroke Windows key + R, and type in the following: jaws 17 Now unload whatever version of Jaws you have running with the, Jaws key + F4, keystroke and press enter. to shut that version down. Now press enter again, and if you have Jaws 17 installed it should start. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.
