I would suggest that you first try to repair and then re-install if that does not work. Jaws from memory gives the repair option if you run the Jaws setup again.
In general I think it is good to have a back up screen reader for those occasions that Jaws may be giving trouble. I use the free NVDA program for this purpose. If for any reason you are having to work outside of jaws you can use NVDA to help you through.

I've resorted to just using the insert f4 command but have had to do it about four times today. I think a repair is in order. I haven't done this for years, and last time I did it you didn't even need the disk. Before putting the disk back in, should I uninstall the current version of JAWS or could I just choose the repair option on the disk or do a reinstall? How do I go about reinstalling? Do I have to uninstall first,and if so, how do I know what I'm doing without any speech? Sorry for the stupid questions. Thanks.
