Brian:
According to JAWS' reading, there is no build number. It speaks the item
(JAWS), the version number and the serial number, and several
identifiers/features. There are no updates available on this version
either.

Hi Jerry,
You will likely find the second method shown in Lennie's message to be
easier than the first. At least there are fewer steps. I wrote those
instructions some time ago but I just checked the JAWS 13 help system and
found that they now have repair instructions almost identical to those I
wrote.
You should first make sure you have the latest build of JAWS 11. Go into
the JAWS interface window and use Alt+H followed by A to bring up the
About
JAWS window. Listen for the build number. You will hear JAWS 11.0 and
then
the build number. The build available for download from the Freedom
Scientific JAWS archives page is 1476. If you have an earlier build then
you can use the Check for Updates menu item in the JAWS help menu. If the
search gives an update for JAWS 11 then check the box and install it. If
you already have build 1476 then you can download the file you need from
ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/JAWS/J11.0.1476-32
bit.exe
Save it to a folder that you can easily browse to when using the Run
dialog
box.
Here are the steps I wrote, which are shown as the second method in
Lenny's
message.
1. Use Windows key with R to bring up the run dialog box.
2. Use tab key to the browse button and press spacebar.
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.
5. Type in /Type repair, (that is first type a slash followed immediately
by
the word type then a space and then the word repair.
6. Use tab key to the OK button and press enter key.
7. Follow the prompts.
Feel free to contact me if I can help you further with this process.
Take care.

Hi Jerry,
Here you go.
Here is the correct procedure for repairing Jaws. Two methods, I
got from another lister.
Blank
Here is the info. Just change the version or highlight your current
version
using browse.
Follow the steps below;
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 Jaws11
most recent you would paste a copy of " J11.0.1430-32bit.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:\J11.0.1447-64bit.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.
1. Use Windows key with R to bring up the run dialog box.
2. Use tab key to the browse button and press spacebar.
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.
5. Type in /Type repair, (that is first type a slash followed immediately
by the word type then a space and then the word repair.
6. Use tab key to the OK button and press enter key.
7. Follow the prompts.
