I figured out the answer. Because I have a hard time computing numbers when spoken by JAWS, I'd changed the filename to include the month and year. I didn't change the file extension, but I'd been led to believe that changing a filename while keeping the extension intact made no difference. Well, it does. I re-downloaded the file from the VFO website and went through the same VFO-recommended procedure without a hitch.
Thanks to Steve and Dan for your thoughts. I'll try Dan's method the next time. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Friday, May 18, 2018 2:35 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS repair Hi. Last year VFO gave me a new set of instructions for doing a JAWS repair. They worked well, and I posted a version to the list. today they aren't working. When I put the terms into the run dialog and press enter, I get the MS message that Windows doesn't know which program to use. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? Here are the instructions: First, make sure you have the .exe file on your system for the JAWS build you're running. You can download it from the FS/VFO website. Unlike before, it doesn't seem to matter where you keep it on your system. Close all running apps. Highlight the JAWS .exe file. Press shift-F10. Arrow up to "Copy as path." Press enter. Open the run dialog with Windows key-r. Press control-v, then spacebar, then / (the forward slash key), then the word "type", spacebar, and then the word "repair." Let me try that command line a different way. After pressing control-v followed by the spacebar, continue with /type repair Then press enter.
