No, Adrian, not blaming the messenger. smile The instructions should read more like this: 1. Activate the run dialog "windows key+r" 2. Wait until JAWS stops talking and type in:
jaws17 /default 3. Unload the JAWS software from memory "JAWS key+f4 followed by enter" 4. and hit enter again to run the command typed into the run dialogue.

Fair point, Rick. I literally copied FS's instructions. Can I say, don't blame the messenger! But I remember following these instructions, ignoring that "stop talking" phrase, and succeeding in getting JAWS to run in default mode. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Justice Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2016 8:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Resetting JAWS 15 to its default settings? Hi Adrian, Am I missing something here? The instructions you posted say to unload Jaws, yet step 3 says wait until Jaws stops talking before typing in the run dialogue.

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.
