Sorry to belabor this. I agree, this method looks simplest. However, it isn't the one FS/VFO tech support uses when I call, even though it would surely save them time. So that anyone new to this issue knows what I'm referring to, I'll repost the JAWS repair procedure that two separate FS/VFO reps had me go through this past week.
First, make sure you have the .exe file on your system for the JAWS build you're running. You can download it from the FS/VFO website. Unlike before, it doesn't seem to matter where you keep it on your system. Close all running apps. Highlight the JAWS .exe file. Press shift-F10. Arrow up to "Copy as path." Press enter. Open the run dialog with Windows key-r. Press control-v, then spacebar, then / (the forward slash key), then the word "type", spacebar, and then the word "repair." Let me try that command line a different way. After pressing control-v followed by the spacebar, continue with /type repair Then press enter. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2017 7:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] here is how I repair jaws, and it works all the time, and I don't have to do much. Nothing wrong with this method at all. In fact it is probably the easiest of all that have been discussed on here. -----Original Message----- From: jim rawls Sent: Friday, February 17, 2017 7:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] here is how I repair jaws, and it works all the time,and I don't have to do much. 1. When you download a jaws update, download it from the web site. Don't let it install automatically. 2. When the executable is downloaded and you know where it is, highlight the executable. 3. Now hit enter on the exe. 4. Jaws should now ask you if you want to modify, repair, or uninstall jaws. 5. Choose repair and follow the prompts jaws gives you and it's easy peasy. Take it from me, because I am not a computer whiz.
