Following is the information I told you about during our conversation today. JAWS 14.0 mirror driver requires that the file "WDF01000.sys" be version 1.11.xxx. This file is located in c:\Windows\System32\Drivers. You can find the version by right-clicking on this file. Choose Properties and then click on the Details tab. For product version, as an example, mine says File version 1.11.9200.16384. In order to update this, please click on the following link that will take you to Microsoft's Support article on how to download and apply the update. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2685811 After the WDF file has been updated to the current version, The Freedom Scientific mirror driver, from JAWS 13, will need to be uninstalled. >From the Start Menu, in the Search field, type device manager and then press >Enter. Tab to the Treeview and press the letter D until you get to Display Adapters. Expand this and locate the Freedom scientific mirror driver. You may find more than one. If so, remove all of them until the only item remaining is your video driver. Once the Freedom Scientific mirror driver has been removed (select "uninstall" from the application context menu, or the Actions menu), you will need to run a /type repair on JAWS 14. To run this type of repair, please do the following: Download and save JAWS 14.0.4004. In your case, you already have the file, so you can skip this step, of course. http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/jaws/jaws-downloads.asp Next, navigate to where you saved the file; and, press Shift+Application Key on the j14.0.4004 file and choose "Copy As Path" Then, open the Run dialog with Windows key+R. Paste the file in and at the end of the line, put a space and then /type repair. Your line should look like the following: "C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\J14.0.4004-64bit.exe" /type repair Press Enter. Restart the computer when prompted at the end of the repair maintenance. You should no longer receive the Freedom Scientific mirror Driver message. * end of Tech Support message that's it! I've deleted the rest of the message concerning my other issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
