Hi Walt; Thank you for your tips.
Your just an amazing fellow.

Files for Outlook Express and Internet Explorer are not given the correct names when they're merged into 7.10 because between the two releases, the file names were changed and somehow, the merge utility wasn't fixed to allow for the name change. Here's the story: In 7.0, the files for Internet Explorer (dictionary, graphics, configuration, etc.) are all named Internet Explorer 5-6, but in 7.10, this was changed to Internet Explorer. Similarly, the files in 7.0 for Outlook Express were named Outlook Express 5-6, but in 7.10, they're named Outlook Express. However, when you run the merge tool, the old file names are retained, meaning that JAWS can't correctly associate them with the application that's running and you think that your settings are broken or lost. What you need to do to fix this is the following: 1. Open Start Menu, navigate to JAWS 7.10, and press RIGHT ARROW twice to Explore My Settings. Press ENTER. 2. This opens your user settings folder. Look for any files named Internet Explorer 5-6 or Outlook Express 5-6 and rename them to Internet Explorer and Outlook Express by pressing F2 and deleting the single space and the string "5-6." Press ENTER when done. If the system won't let you change the name because it says that a file with that name already exists, this most likely means that after running the merge utility, you later used the JAWS dialog or Configuration Manager to create settings. In this case, press ESC to get out of the edit window and then delete the files that have the "5-6" in their names _if_ there are files with the same extension named correctly. Rename any that remain. -- Walt Smith - Clearwater, FL [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
