That's correct. The jaws version has to match exactly. For example you can't repair jaws 13.0.924 with jaws 13.0.852

Hi JAWS repair doesn't give you information about what it is actually doing. I assume that it checks all of the JAWS modules and reinstalls or fixes those that don't match what it is looking for. As for the user settings, the only thing that was different was that my Dectalk Express was no longer my default speech and I couldn't switch back to it. The only synthesizer choices I had were Eloquence, SAPI5 and RealSpeak. I had to go to the Synthesizer and Braille manager from the All Programs\JAWS13\Tools menu and reinstalled it. I restarted JAWS and then switch back to it. I was having the problem of JAWS not speaking certain things in an application, but the repair fixed it. I believe that you need to use the version and level of JAWS you are running to do a repair. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dujari, Prateek Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 05:53 To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] What does repairing JAWS 13 actually do? Hello. Eric has eloquently described how t run a repair on JFW13. What does repair actually do? Does it reinstall or correct any errors in all the shared components and files/folders that JFW downloads and installs when we upgrade to a newer version or release of JFW? Second, If I run repair does it mess up my personalized settings for the diff programs on my PC, does it mess up my default settings of jaws including voice profiles and voice aliases? I ask because on both of my 2 Win7 PC's running the latest JFw13.0.1006, I see some buggy behavior on some web pages with check boxes as well as inability of 13.1006 to read the labels of some buttons in GoldWave. this problem didn't exist with the 13.9xx nor with JFW12.k -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of inthaneelf Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 1:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS13 And Microsoft Windows 7 64 eric? why did they make a useful and often used option so diffacult now a days? inthaneelf .

I run the downloaded package and it says that the product is already installed, to modify it, use add remove programmes. i go to add remove programmes and press return on JAWS 13 and it only gives me an option to remove it.
