Jacob,
Although this suggestion will not help your current
situation, it will in the future. Consider using Image for
Windows. Sounds like you have a need to put your system back
to a solid starting point quite frequently. With Image for
Windows, you build your basic OS and all necessary programs
and then burn a basic image. Anytime you want to return to
that point you simply pop in the CD, go have a cup of coffee
and come back in about a half hour and your good to go. I
use this often and it is totally blind accessible. Just a
thought because I've been where you are and have spent hours
messing around to no avail.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Issue with jaws 11 and word 2003
after
computerissues were resolved using windows XP service pack 3
This is a bit of a long shot, but last week after I tried to
restore my
windows XP machine back to a slightly older restore point
due to it starting
to have a couple operating system issues most likely due to
all the
software/configuration testing I've done on it, as per
usual, but the
machine seemed to not go anywhere after I left it restarting
for around half
an hour after telling it to use the clean restore point, and
eventually, I
had to literally run a windows installation repair, and then
install windows
XP service pack 3 to make it generally work again.
Now the issue is that it won't let me run certain
installation packages,
like trying to reinstall a version of adobe reader since it
seems to be
looking for installation files/components that don't exist,
but the main
thing that has now come around is that I can't even start
microsoft word
2003 since jaws seems to crash, and the whole system is
almost hanging -
only thing to do seems to be to hit Ctrl + Alt + Del keys,
wait a little
bit, hit Alt + U for turn off menu items, and then hit the R
key to choose
the restart option - all of this without any talking going
on, since even
narrator and NVDA don't seem to want to cooperate properly
when I then try
to make them act as a form of backup, and jaws is just
crashing outright.
Anyway, now tried reinstalling office 2003 in case it needed
to be
repaired/reverted to it's initial installation state, but
still doesn't
work, but, FWIW, other pieces of office software, like excel
do still work,
so it seems to be specifically word in this part of the
puzzle.
Anyway, apart from being pretty sure will again have to
reload windows from
scratch, like I normally seem to need to do around every 3-6
months, was
just wondering if anyone had any ideas/ideas to try sort
this out more
easily/quicker?
TIA
