Hello all,
Ok, I'm here with some good news, fingers crossed!
I am using windows 7 with jaws 16 and have finally gotten my Skype running
the way it was almost two weeks ago before I messed up and accidently
upgraded to the new version of Skype that fried my accessibility.
First many many thanks to many of you in this forum whose ideas and
thoughts and direct help would have not made my little victory today possible.
Here is what I did step by step:
I first used "C Clean" to remove Skype from my machine. I also saw on the
forum where someone also recommended "Revo" for complete removals so I'm
guessing that will work also.
Then I think it was Steve who then gave me a direct download link to the
previous generation of Skype before the problems we all have been plagued
with started , which was:
"SkypeSetupFull-6.21.0.104" Here is the link:
<http://is.gd/WXpcPb>http://is.gd/WXpcPb
I installed it no problem.
I went into Skype just to prove to me it was still not accessible and that
was the case as I expected it would be since I hadn't loaded any jaws Skype
scripts.
Then I just installed the set of jaws scripts the forum had mentioned called:
jfw-skr618a.exe
which I downloaded from one of the places recommended here on the forum.
I installed that next.
Then I went back into Skype and had about 80% accessibility back before I
even configured jaws and Skype for full accessibility.
Then went into the Skype tools options menu and went all the way to the
bottom to check the accessibility setting and saved that.
Then I went into tools options again and just went through the list of
settings to make Skype the way I prefer it to be for the way I like to use it.
And low and behold I was a real Skype user again! LOL
Now I must also say to the Skype power users that that isn't who I was to
begin with since I haven't been using Skype all that long and for all that
much social media contact, you may find that some of the oober advanced
features that I have seen some of you discussing in the forum may not be
back and of course I wouldn't know that until some day when I went to use them.
Hopefully between now and that day someone will write a set of ultra
powerful scripts for jaws! Well I can hope can't I? LOL
But for now I can take and make calls,
I can send and receive IM's and can read them either way.
Sending files as attachments or doing recordings of calls aren't what I
ever did before so I can't speak to those issues with any personal
experience or authority but for now I am very pleased that I am at least
back where I was before all this started.
And again many many thanks to all you Good people who helped me get there.

Where does that save the file to barbos? I'm guessing in the user folder.

Ok, I found out what's going on there.
The Autoaccepting files is only available when Skype is set to always save
files on My Skype received files, otherwise you cannot.
Bye!
