In my case, repair mode didn't repair. <sigh>

Bill, David and anyone wishing to uninstall versions of JAWS for Windows:
First of all, you should never use the Windows uninstall program, in any
version of Windows, to uninstall JAWS for Windows.
You should always use the uninstall program, which is provided with each
version of JAWS.
If you are using JAWS 15 and you also have JAWS 12, 13 and 14, installed on your computer
and you wish to remove JAWS 12, you must first unload JAWS 15, then run JAWS 12, go to
the Tools submenu, under the JAWS 12 submenu, in Windows XP, All Programs, in Windows
Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, then launch the "uninstall JAWS 12" utility and
follow the steps to uninstall JAWS 12.
You should follow the uninstall procedure as described, for any version of
JAWS, you want to uninstal from any computer.
Remember, not to check the checkbox, which relates to uninstalling shared
components, because this will more than likely, result in the other versions of
JAWS on the computer and any other Freedom Scientific product, you may have
installed, having problems in working correctly or, not working at all.
HTH
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

Hi, David. I'm sorry tyou are having this problem. What I have found
is that most of the uninstallers, including the one in Windows7,
leaves files and folders after uninstalling programs.
What you might want to do is, first, set your computer to show hidden
files and folders in the folder options section.
Then, after uninstalling all your Freedom Scientific products, go into
your user files, and check Appdata to see if there are any Freedom
Scientific files or folders in there. If so, delete them and try again
to install.
One time, after uninstalling firefox, I found settings files in
Appdata which were preventing me from doing a clean reinstall of the
new program, which had become corrupted.

Unfortunately, that's what I did. I then uninstalled all Freedom
Scientific products and removed the folder in Program Files, then
cleared out the FreedomScientific tree in the registry so that there
would
(supposedly) be no trace of the products, then tried reinstalling. I
suspect there may be additional registry keys that need to be
deleted, but they are proving difficult to find.

David,
It's my understanding that you shouldn't install earlier versions of
JAWS when you have JAWS on your system. I think you'd need to
uninstall them all, then reinstall one by one, beginning with the
earliest and going up in sequence.
I have to wonder why anyone would need so many versions. I remember
9 worked on some websites for a time when later versions didn't, but
that ceased to be the case.

Subject: Jaws stops speaking in Windows 7
I have a desktop computer running multiple versions of Windows and
have various versions of Jaws on each.
On the Windows 7 partition, I had full versions and demos of Jaws
from version 9 to 15. I recently decided to do a cleanup and
uninstall some of the earlier versions of Jaws.
Now, when I try to start any version of Jaws such as the Jaws 15
demo, Jaws will start up, speak "Jaws for Windows is ready", then
quit. The activation dialog no longer appears, so I think that
somehow the activation system has gotten munged. I've tried
reinstalling all the previous versions of Jaws that I can get my
hands on, and the same problem occurs. (Jaws on XP, Vista and 8.1
update 1 on the same machine start up as expected.)
Has anyone experienced this problem before and can offer a solution?
Thanks in advance!
