Here are instructions I received from FS on how to run JAWS in default mode:
1. Unload the JAWS software from memory "JAWS key+f4 followed by enter" 2. Activate the run dialog "windows key+r" 3. Wait until JAWS stop talking and type in: jaws17 /default and hit enter. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Ritz, Courtney L.

Hi all, Well, somehow, today at work, I discovered that JAWS wouldn't read anything whatsoever in Firefox. The whole page sounds blank to me, and JAWS souldn't read any of the menu items either. So I assumed the latest Firefox update they pushed to our computers might have been the problem. However, later, I noticed that some other applications are having similar problems. I suddenly can't read my calendar appointments in Outlook 2013, and a couple menus in IE won't read properly either. So I thought I'd try setting JAWS back to its defaults, in the event that I might have inadvertently screwed something up by accident somewhere. But I can't find where in JAWS 15 to do that. Any suggestions? Tomorrow, I might see about just reinstalling it, but I was hoping to figure out what setting might've been goofed up first. And obviously I need to upgrade to 17. Just waiting on the procurement to go through.
