No, a JAWS repair does not change your settings. Here are the instructions I received from FS/VFO in February.
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. Note. The JAWS repair can take maybe twenty minutes to run, so patience is required. Listen for any verbalizations that might require some action, although the only thing you'll probably need to do is reboot when the repair is done. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of net bat66 Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2017 12:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] new user,jaws repair how do you do a jaws repair? and would it erase the settings i changed? i can not turn on speech for the insert key since i messed with the jaws key frome the insert to the scroll lock and back again. it is not muted in the keyboard labeler.
