OK, many thanks! Well, my Jaws is in Italian actually.
anyway, I'll listen to your podcast and see if I can figure out how to
sort this matter out.

It is coming to my attention, because of messages on this list, that a
few people are experiencing a serious problem with the new Skype
script installer for JAWS. This issue somehow never occurred during
the two weeks of public beta testing this installer went through prior
to this script release.
This message applies to anyone who has tried the installer and lost
JAWS functionality, and to anyone who has not yet run the installer
but plans to try soon. I believe this problem only occurs in JAWS
12 and in either cracked or non-English JAWS versions, but I'm still
collecting information about when and where this happens.
The symptom of this problem is an inability to use normal JAWS
commands after script installation without hearing "Unknown script
call" messages. JAWS will become effectively unusable at this point.
I have put out a podcast explaining how to get your JAWS back and how,
if you like, to help me fix the cause of this problem. The podcast is
at
http://www.dlee.org/s69c.mp3
In summary though, you do the following to get your JAWS back:
1. Run jaws12 /default (replace "12" with your JAWS version number)
from the Windows Run box, or use another JAWS version or screen reader
that still works.
2. Open the JAWS user folder for the troubled JAWS version by going to
Start, All Programs, JAWS 12.0 (or whatever version just blew up),
Explore JAWS, Explore My Settings.
3. Find and delete the file called default.jsb. Be careful that you
have default.jsb, where the last letter is b as in "boy." If your
Windows Explorer does not show file extensions, use the file type
description column in the Details view to figure out the file type.
Alt+V D, at least in English Windows installations, will switch
Windows Explorer to Details view.
Once you do these things, your JAWS should again work properly. The
scripts will also work for Skype 6.9 at this point, though you will
not have SkypeWatch enabled.
Details on how to help me figure out what's causing this problem and
how to fix it appear in the above podcast.
