Hi Joanne, Here you go: The steps below are the best, most in depth, and most thorough way of repairing Jaws according to Freedom Scientific Tech Support. Note; jaws11 is the example, however, this will work for 12, 13, 14, & 15 as well. 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:\J11.0.1447-32bit.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. From: Brian Lee You might have already resolved the problem, but if not here is a link that you can use to download the newest update for your 64-bit installation of JAWS. Information about performing the repair is shown below after the download link. ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/JAWS/J11.0.1430-64 bit.exe After downloading the file you can do the following steps to repair the installation: 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 care. Brian Lee 3rd way: From: Joseph FreeTech If you want a step-by-step try this... To run a repair locate the installer for the version of JAWS you are currently using. Be absolutely certain the version of jaws you are running and it's installer are identical. JAWS 16.x.y.z must match with JAWS 16.x.y.z. Press Shift+F10 or Windows applications key then down arrow to the following entry and press enter: run as administrator. Note: you may have to enter your admin password, and you may have to press Alt+Y to bypass UAC. The installation will begin. Note: JAWS will probably revert back to it's default speed and language as if you were installing JAWS for the first time. After a few clicks during the initial loading process, you will be asked what type of installation you would like to complete. Tab through this dialogue and choose the following: repair Note: this dialogue might show a combo box, which means you should use your up or down arrows to choose the repair option. Tab to "next" and press enter. The repair will begin and you will hear clicks implying JAWS is doing it's thing. If you need to repeat what was spoken, press Insert+B to read the entire screen once again. Please let me know if this helps, or if you need more info. Joseph the free tech guy! All are welcome to write me off list if absolutely any help is needed Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. Go Dodgers! Take care.

Awhile back someone posted 3 ways to repair Jaws. The most helpful way for me was the third way which was similar to the way I repaired it in older versions where you go to a place that asked if you wanted to modify or repair. Can someone repost the directions? I was going to open the EXE file and start the install and try to repair it from there, but as this option isn't an option anymore I thought I would inquire about a possible similar way to do this. joanne For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
