you have to do one more thing to actually save the default.jss and default.jsb files that you deleted. you have to open the default.jss file and then open the pull down menu and use save. when you do the two files you mentioned will be saved in that folder where you deleted them. if you don't jaws will use the factory script files from the program data\freedom scientific\scripts folder instead.

Hi Ralph,

Now that you told what you were doing, I can give you the exact fix.
When you modified the Default script file in JAWS 18 and pressed CTRL+S, Script Manager saved the modified version in the JAWS user folder. When you imported settings to JAWS 2018 the file was also saved in the JAWS 2018 user folder, but since the file is from 18.0 and you didn't used the Use statement, the problem is that JAWS 2018 is using the Default.jsb file based on JAWS 18.0.
To fix this, with JAWS closed, go to the following folder:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\2018\Settings\Enu
In this folder, find and delete the files named Default.jss and Default.jsb, then restart JAWS and the problem should be resolved.

As a suggestion, if your keyboard hasn't the Applications key, you usually won't need to make any modifications to get back that functionality into another key. This is because Windows always had a keyboard shortcut for opening context menus when your keyboard has not Applications key: you can just press SHIFT+F10 and, except in less standard programs like games in full screen mode, you will see the same context menu. Similarly, if you're using a keyboard in which there's no Windows key, you can quickly open the Start menu by pressing CTRL+ESCAPE.

Hope it helps!

I tried the "save as shared" and it wouldn't let me.

I think this problem came up because my Jaws 18 default script was modified to allow the printscreen to act like the application key since my laptop doesn't have an application key. When I installed Jaws 2018 a couple months ago I had it import my Jaws 18 settings.

The problem was that when I press the "printscreen" key, I got a message saying something about an unknown call to script. Since I normally use a wireless keyboard that has the application key I hadn't gotten around to trying to fix things until this weekend. I opened the default script in the script manager. It showed the modification I had made to my Jaws 18 default script. I saved the 2018 script and exited the script manager. Now I'm getting the message about the default script not being found.

I'm a script ignoramus so have no idea what to do. I would appreciate some easy-to-follow instructions about what to do.

Thanks.

Unless you were modifying this file or installing scripts that make modifications to it, this is rare. However, if you can bring the file in Script Manager with CTRL+SHIFT+D, try using the Save As Shared option in the File menu to see if recompiling the file fixes the issue. This is because JAWS actually doesn't search the default.jss, but the compiled file in binary format, that is, default.jsb. Note that if you have UAC enabled, you will need to run Script Manager as administrator to be able to save into the shared folder. If you were making modifications, these were saved in the JAWS user folder when you pressed CTRL+S. If so, go to the JAWS settings folder for your user (use the Explore My Settings shortcut or go to the path C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\version\Settings\enu), and delete the default.jsb file in this folder if it exists. If you use JAWS in a language other than English, change Enu for the three letter abbreviation of your language, for example ESN for Spanish.

Hope it helps!

Hi,

I am getting a message that my default script is missing. How do I get it back? From what I can tell, it's still there (at least I can bring it up in the script manager. Would a Jaws system repair do any good? If so, how do you do one?

Thanks
