Hey Victor, thanks for writing back. The computer was a custom job and I already asked the guy about it and he refused to accept the idea that installing to the 'I' drive was an error or that he is responsible for it. Most programs (including JAWS) do find the local drive during installation. The problem seems to be more with those which have installation shells like the JAVA Access Bridge, etc.- which requires me to run a manual install. Not easy as you have to put certain files in 3 distinct locations instead of everything happening automatically.
The video intercept apparently worked- at least after I shut down the system manually, JAWS did begin speaking again. I haven't asked anyone at FS about issues related to installing JAWS in a non-standard location, but that might be a good idea. Is anyone familliar with the 'windows no disk' error- and able to verify that this is related to the nonstandard local drive? Also, can anyone tell me how to verify the driver installation?

First, the good news... Your problem can be fixed, and the best part is that once you fix that problem, a great many other problems will be fixed. The bad news? You have to do a re-install and format of your drive. My brother made the mistake of doing that, namely naming the local drive another letter, other than C, and it completely didn't allow him to install a bunch of other things, including Jaws and Zoom Text. The major problem is that programs like Jaws and others, look for the default of the C drive when it installs and access the various program functions, so, if you don't have a C drive, you get a number of errors when you go to run a program. I should also point out that the Jaws Video Intercept doesn't ask you which drive to install to, it will automatically install on the C drive, so if there is no C drive, it isn't getting installed properly. I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of bad tidings, but this is the reality as I see it, and, as I see it was garnered through experience with this sort of problem. By the way, who was it that installed the system in the first place? The reason I ask, is if it's a new computer, then you can take it back and get them to install the OS and format the drive correctly. If it isn't a new computer, then who did your last install, as they should be able to re-install the entire works.
