[JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws crashing when saving to A drive
No, a reinstall does not of itself use up one of your activations. Your Internet activation or floppy authorized key remain on your hard drive until manually or provisionally removed by you or if (in the case of ILM) some hardware change is made to the computer. If installing on a new machine, then a new activation is used there. There may come a time when future JAWS will not recognise the floppy authorization as valid, I would suppose. - Original Message - From: jason smith To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2007 5:42 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws crashing when saving to A drive Hi Flor, yes I think you might be right. I will however, try a repair on Jaws first, just incase I might be lucky. If that doesn't work, then I will do a reinstall. I take it, that doing a reinstall will also use up one of my Jaws activations. I only have 1 left, so will need to get those refreshed. When installing Jaws 7.0, I was told by my local dealer, to use the authorization disk from Jaws 6.0 to activate Jaws. He said that after Jaws 6.0, no new disks are being issued. Does this mean that for all future Jaws versions, we have to use the same disk over and over? I know that ILM has changed things a lot, but it seems a bit odd.

I have recently installed Jaws 7.0 on to my laptop, which is running Windows ME. Because it is windows ME, Jaws 7.0 is the highest version I can now go to on it. My problem is, Jaws is running fairly well and I can save to the laptop hard-drive fine. However, I am having trouble when saving to floppy disk on the A drive. What happens, is I press F12 to save the file onto the A drive(I have just saved to the C drive). I hear the floppy whirring like normal. Once it has finished saving, Jaws crashes. This also happens, if someone else uses the touch-pad on the laptop in order to save to the A drive. I have been told the error message, says something about JFW encountering an error and had to shut-down. The message also says something about braille something or other. I have never used a braille display. To my knowledge, I have never installed any braille drivers etc(apart from those which may come standard with the Jaws program). I have tried different floppy disks too, but still the same problem happens. I am hoping to get Jaws 8.0 up and going on the desktop computers at work. However, the laptop is my own personal one and I naturally, would like to solve this issue. I do have my desktop for my usual computing use. Like I said though, would like to work this out. Thought I would ask here, before getting Acer(who are the manufacturer) to have a look at the A drive, incase it is faulty.
