Hi, I had this problem and contacted Freedom Scientific. Here's what they told me to do. Hope this helps.
Dacia We would suggest running a JAWS repair on JAWS 16.0.1925. Instructions are below. To run a JAWS 16 repair, First download JAWS 16 to your computer. Go to: http://www2.freedomscientific.com/downloads/JAWS/JAWS-whats-new.asp Look for and download: * JAWS 16.0.1925 32-bit English - January 2015 (127 MB) or: * JAWS 16.0.1925 64-bit English - January 2015 (133 MB) Choose the 32 or 64 bit version, whichever is your computer type. Save this to your computer. Do not run from current location. After the file is saved: To run a JAWS 16 repair. 1. Copy the appropriate version to your C: drive To run a JAWS 16 repair, go to the run dialog and type: C:\J16.0.1925ENU-32bit.exe /type repair And press enter. Or C:\J16.0.1925ENU-64bit.exe /type repair And press enter. The repair will run. After the repair has completed, reboot your computer. A repair will fix most issues of this type.
