but you don't need to use a command line to repair! all that is needed to do is enter on the executable of the current version of jaws in the download folder. the jaws setup begins, jaws will detect that the current version of jaws is trying to install over itself, so a list of options appear modify, repair or remove isn't that sufficient? -----Original Message----- From: john_Justice Sent: Saturday, December 17, 2016 12:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] INITIATING A JAWS REPAIR WITH CURRENT VERSIONS OF THESOFTWARE Hello fellow Jaws users. I wanted to thank David Ferrin for his help with this situation. One of our list members recommended that I initiate a repair of Jaws. To be quite honest, I didn't remember how to do that. Below, is a detailed set of instructions. In this situation, we are using a "command line" which directly handles the repair. I hope that there are others who might want to save these instructions for the time when they might have to repair Jaws. Thanks again, David. JAWS REPAIR SEQUENCE This is the procedure for initiating a repair in Jaws. Make sure that there is a clean copy of the most current version of Jaws in the Downloads folder. 1. Focus on the executable file. 2. Press SHIFT+APPLICATIONS key. 3. Press the letter A until Copy As Path is reached and press Enter to initiate that process. 4. Open a Notepad screen and paste the copied path into it. 5. Press spacebar and then the following command line. /type repair That is space, forward slash immediately followed by the word type, space, the word repair 6. Copy or cut the entire sequence onto your clipboard. 7. Open the Run option by pressing WINDOWS+R. 8. Use CONTROL+V to paste the command line into the Run field. Press Enter. 9. Return to the Notepad screen and close the file. 10. The function will continue automatically until the system requests a Restart. Press enter to initiate that process. NOTE: If the latest version of Jaws is already present in your system and you try to execute the new file, a warning message will appear, directing you to use Control Panel to remove the current version before attempting to install the new one. If you have more than one version of Jaws on your system or you are familiar with how to operate narrator, this might not be a problem. However, using this command line function is a more direct approach. There may be other ways to achieve the same results.
