Hi, Jason. Only because I, like you, want information on this list to be correct, I have to point out your memory is letting you down here. Rather than download a JAWS installer, whatever that may be, you must be sure you have on your C drive a copy of the file for the version (including release) of JAWS you're running. There's more to it than that, but let's wait to see if the JAWS repair instructions will be needed before going to the trouble of retrieving them.

Have you tried running a JAWS Repair? Instructions for doing this have been circulated on this list previously. >From memory, you download the JAWS installer and run it with a "/type repair" option on the command line. This you can do from a "run" dialogue or from a command prompt. Ritz, Courtney L.
