Gerald,
You can also insert your Jaws disk, choose repair from the options, & run a
repair. If you don't have the disk, below are the steps for running a
repair from Freedom Scientific.
The steps below are the best, most in depth, and most thorough way of
repairing Jaws according to Freedom Scientific Tech Support.
1. Place a copy of the Jaws executible version that you want to repair into
the main root of the " C " drive. For example; If you are running Jaws9
latest
you would paste a copy of " J9.0.2191_ILM-32bit.exe " into the main
root of the " C " drive. To open the main root of the " C " drive, go to
the desktop, press enter on My Computer, press enter on Local disk C, and
now you have the main root of the " C " drive open.
2. With the Jaws " .exe " pasted into the "C" drive, highlight the " .exe
", and press F2 as if you were going to edit this line of text. now press
control + C to copy this Jaws executible, press escape to close the edit
field, and press Alt + F4 to close the C drive.
What you want to do is place just the title of the Jaws version into the
Windows Run Dialogue box and not the file. If you were to place the Jaws
executible into the Run box without copying as you did as per the
instructions above you would have pasted the whole file into the Run Box
instead of just the title.
3. Now that you have just the title copied to the clipboard, press Windows
key + R to open the Run Dialogue Box. Type, remember to type a capitalC ,"
C:\ " without the quotes or
spaces and press control + V to paste the Jaws title, press your end key to
take the cursor to the end of the title and type in the following " /type
repair" without the quotes but, with the spaces . Below is what your line
of text should look / read like.
C:\J9.0.2191_ILM-32bit.exe /type repair
Read character by character to make sure you have put in the proper spaces,
Forward & back slashes and text. press the home key to go to the front of
the title and press enter to start the repair.
A 2nd way to do the same thing.

You might have already resolved the problem, but if not here is a link that

JAWS. Information about performing the repair is shown below after the

3. Browse to the downloaded JAWS setup file and press enter key.
4. Use tab key to move to where JAWS says "open colon edit combo", press
the end key and then press spacebar.

Take care.

Hi Gerald,
You should have both the admin tool & video intercept in your control
panel.
I don't know why the admin tool is missing but, if you were able to
download
a new video intercept, & run it, that is supposed to re-install the admin
tool. Hope this helps. Take care.

Mike,
I just checked Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel, and there is no
item labled Freedom Scientific Admin Tools. The only thing that comes
close
is the item labeled Freedom Scientific Video Intercept. Is this the
item
I
should remove and then reinstall? Now I'm totally confused. Maybe I
better
load up on eggnog tonight. LOL!
