Here is the info. Just change the version or highlight your current version
using browse. I included two different methods.
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 Jaws14
most recent on a 32-bit system, you would paste a copy of "
J14.0.4004-32bit.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 Jaws
.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 without
the quotation marks "/type
repair" without the quotes but, with the spaces . Below is what your line of
text should look / read like.
C:\J14.0.4004-32bit.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.
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.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
