[JAWS-Users] JAWS Update Issue
Afternoon all. Upon installing the latest update via the laptop update reminder, I had the system restart. After restarting, I got (via sighted assistance) an error message about a dll file being missing. So, again with sighted assistance, I had to go to the fs sight, download my version of JAWS 2018, and run a repair. Has anyone ever gotten this message, and is there a way to prevent this from happening again. Using JAWS 2018 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws Update Issue
Deanne, What happens if you shut off your laptop and reboot? Second, if the problem persists, try running a repair on Jaws. To do a repair, use the Windows run command and tab to the Browse button. Navigate to where you have a full download of the Jaws file saved. Go to the open combobox and hit the end key, then type /type repair and press enter. -- Lansing, Michigan Clear, 77.0°F Wind:SSW-210° at 10mph Never mess up an apology with an excuse.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Update Issue
Rebooting had exactly the same result. I tried it twice. As far as the run command, I had no ability to use the keyboard because jaws wouldn't allow it. It would simply announce unknown function and then say what the key should do. I couldn't even shut jaws down. A sighted friend of mine came over just a little while ago and used the touch pad to do a repair on jaws. At least the touch pad and mouse buttons were still working. Apparently, something had happened to one of the script files during the update. It took a while, but it finally finished the repair, restarted, and now seems to be running fine. We'll see what happens when I reboot later. I probably would have prevented this whole problem if I had run a repair on jaws before I updated it. Just a thought. In the future, that's what I'll do. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm sure they would have worked if I had been able to use the keyboard.
