Paying?
If you have Office, and you should, it's free.

reinstall them. As you probably know, JAWS does in fact install a
video driver to assist with screen reading, so I uninstalled it
temporarily and sure enough, this was the fix. The Boot Camp
installer was able to run at that point and repaired the support software.

Clearly this should not have happened, but I've encountered many
situations where this has happened to JAWS over the years for
fairly minor system tweaks, or even smaller things such as turning
off the Wi-Fi switch on a laptop, and occasionally you can fix the
problem by putting things back to the way they were. I hoped that
reinstalling the Video Intercept drivers would have re-activated my
copy of JAWS, but it did not. This feels like a bug, and I think
users of JAWS should be aware that if they are going to repair or
update their Boot Camp Support Software, it is likely that they
will lose their activation. Since Apple does post updates to the
support software from time to time, I think this is something to keep in mind.

Among other things, Wi-Fi does not work after the computer sleeps.
Windows thinks that I am using a separate Wi-Fi adapter (e.g. the
label of the adapter changes from "Wi-Fi" to "Wi-Fi 2", and no
connections can be established until the computer is rebooted.
Also, the connection drops quite frequently--and again, this only
happens while using Windows and not with OS X.
