First: I understand what you are saying.
Secondly: I just re did the same procedure on another windows7 machine in
my office that is also running jaws 16 and it worked there also.
However, I almost got tricked again by good old Skype when it started to do
an automatic update!
so probably to add to the step by step fix I shared is to go into Skype
tools/options and turn off the Skype automatic updates feature as quickly
as you can so you don't re create the problem you just fixed.
Sick Thought for today:
Life is always fun, being blind is optional! LOL
Happy holidays to all,

Hey JR,
thanks for the kind words but the real credit has to go to all those people
in the forum who shared with me, since all I did was take all the pieces
everyone else shared with me and put it into one post.
as the old saying goes, "the whole is greater than the sum of all its parts"
Happy holidays to all,

This is an example of a great, great post. Mike described the
problem, and
more importantly, he solved it and came back to us to teach us how
to do the
same. When one searches the archives for a solution to a similar

this message will be indispensable and will save the new reader tons
and
tons of time and unnecessary hassle.
Great job Mike!

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
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.
Mike, from SC

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!
