Re: [JAWS-Users] going back to previous version of jaws
There's no need to uninstall newer versions of JAWS. Unlike other programs, many JAWS versions can work together in the same system, provided no more than one is running at the same time. I would simply install JAWS 14 over the most recent versions, using the /Type Safe command-line switch to prevent system-level components like FS Video Intercept, which are shared components, from being replaced with older versions. Hope it helps! 2018-07-18 20:04 GMT-03:00 PeterTighe : > I have a friend who needs to use Jaws version 14 for a particular web site. > > > > I have advised her to uninstall all later versions of Jaws before > installing > version 14. > > > > Does she also need to uninstall shared components? > > > > Thanks, > > > > Peter > > > > > > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

She shouldn't need to uninstall anything, just the required version, it will install to it's own folder, you may just need to sort out the desktop shortcuts that launch each version. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of PeterTighe Sent: 19 July 2018 00:04 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] going back to previous version of jaws I have a friend who needs to use Jaws version 14 for a particular web site.

Re: [JAWS-Users] going back to previous version of jaws
Really? That seems . . . rather extreme just to be able to access one particular website. Has she tried accessing it in different browsers? Maybe NVDA? Removing share components really is kind of like a last step type of deal. Have you or other screen reader users tried accessing the same site to be sure it's actually the site and maybe not something on her machine or capabilities? Reach out to VFO to see if they can reproduce the same difficulties? -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of PeterTighe Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2018 4:04 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] going back to previous version of jaws I have a friend who needs to use Jaws version 14 for a particular web site.

Re: [JAWS-Users] going back to previous version of jaws
That seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to visit a website. Although I understand problems can occur, JAWS versions are *supposed* to operate independently and you are *supposed* to be able to have as many different versions installed on your machine as you like. Now I'm curious if people have run into problems with shared dlls or whatever? -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of PeterTighe Sent: July 18, 2018 7:04 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] going back to previous version of jaws I have a friend who needs to use Jaws version 14 for a particular web site.
