Hi Mario, Try the steps below. These are steps I use whenever I do a repair & they haven't failed me yet!
The steps below are the best, most in depth, and most thorough way of repairing Jaws according to Freedom Scientific Tech Support. Note; jaws11 is the example, however, this will work for 12, 13, 14, & 15 as well. 1. Place a copy of the Jaws executible version that you want to repair into the main root of the " C " drive. For example; If you are running Jaws11 most recent you would paste a copy of " J11.0.1430-32bit.exe " into the main root of the " C " drive. To open the main root of the " C " drive, go to the desktop, press enter on My Computer, press enter on Local disk C, and now you have the main root of the " C " drive open. 2. With the Jaws " .exe " pasted into the "C" drive, highlight the " .exe ", and press F2 as if you were going to edit this line of text. now press control + C to copy this Jaws executible, press escape to close the edit field, and press Alt + F4 to close the C drive. What you want to do is place just the title of the Jaws version into the Windows Run Dialogue box and not the file. If you were to place the Jaws executible into the Run box without copying as you did as per the instructions above you would have pasted the whole file into the Run Box instead of just the title. 3. Now that you have just the title copied to the clipboard, press Windows key + R to open the Run Dialogue Box. Type, remember to type a capitalC ," C:\ " without the quotes or spaces and press control + V to paste the Jaws title, press your end key to take the cursor to the end of the title and type in the following " /type repair" without the quotes but, with the spaces . Below is what your line of text should look / read like. C:\J11.0.1447-32bit.exe /type repair Read character by character to make sure you have put in the proper spaces, Forward & back slashes and text. press the home key to go to the front of the title and press enter to start the repair. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mario Brusco via Jfw To: [email protected] ; The Jaws for Windows support list.

I'm trying to repair JAWS 14, but keep getting a message that the file jaws.msi cannot be found. if I try to remove, I get a message that fsbraille.exe cannot be found and then the message about jaws.msi cannot be found. calling fs about it, the guy guided me thru the procedure, but kept running into these messages. After copying the path that leads to the j14 executable, opening the run dialog, pasting the path, typing a space and a /type repair eventually rendered the message about jaws.msi couldn't be found. (I followed the path to where it should be, but nothing was there.) the end result was to (cop out, ehemm...) "install 16" because I'm eligible to do so. I want to at least repair 14. please help, please? _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
