Rebooting had exactly the same result. I tried it twice. As far as the run
command, I had no ability to use the keyboard because jaws wouldn't allow
it. It would simply announce unknown function and then say what the key
should do. I couldn't even shut jaws down.
A sighted friend of mine came over just a little while ago and used the
touch pad to do a repair on jaws. At least the touch pad and mouse buttons
were still working. Apparently, something had happened to one of the script
files during the update. It took a while, but it finally finished the
repair, restarted, and now seems to be running fine. We'll see what happens
when I reboot later.
I probably would have prevented this whole problem if I had run a repair on
jaws before I updated it. Just a thought. In the future, that's what I'll
do.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm sure they would have worked if I had been
able to use the keyboard.

Deanne,
What happens if you shut off your laptop and reboot?
Second, if the problem persists, try running a repair on Jaws. To do a
repair, use the Windows run command and tab to the Browse button. Navigate
to where you have a full download of the Jaws file saved. Go to the open
combobox and hit the end key, then type /type repair and press enter.
