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.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Resetting JAWS 15 to its default settings?

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.

Courtney
