Hello,
I finally got it to work. I had to do the first steps Mike layed out by
copying the file to the root directory of the C drive.
Thanks,
Greg Wocher

Hi Greg;
Below are 2 ways to do a repair of Jaws. Keep in mind the Jaws version
shown in the example may be different than yours.
The steps below are the best, most in depth, and most thorough way of
repairing Jaws according to Freedom Scientific Tech Support.
1. Place a copy of the Jaws executible version that you want to repair
into
the main root of the " C " drive. For example; If you are running Jaws11
most recent you would paste a copy of " J11.0.1430-32bit.exe " into the
main
root of the " C " drive. To open the main root of the " C " drive, go to
the desktop, press enter on My Computer, press enter on Local disk C, and
now you have the main root of the " C " drive open.
2. With the Jaws " .exe " pasted into the "C" drive, highlight the " .exe
", and press F2 as if you were going to edit this line of text. now press
control + C to copy this Jaws executible, press escape to close the edit
field, and press Alt + F4 to close the C drive.
What you want to do is place just the title of the Jaws version into the
Windows Run Dialogue box and not the file. If you were to place the Jaws
executible into the Run box without copying as you did as per the
instructions above you would have pasted the whole file into the Run Box
instead of just the title.
3. Now that you have just the title copied to the clipboard, press Windows
key + R to open the Run Dialogue Box. Type " C:\ " , remember to use a
capital C, without the quotes or
spaces and press control + V to paste the Jaws title, press your end key
to
take the cursor to the end of the title and type in the following " /type
repair" without the quotes but, with the spaces . Below is what your line
of text should look / read like.
C:\J11.0.1447-32bit.exe /type repair
Read character by character to make sure you have put in the proper
spaces,
Forward & back slashes and text. press the home key to go to the front of
the title and press enter to start the repair.
A 2nd way to do the same thing.

Hello Jim,
You might have already resolved the problem, but if not here is a link

JAWS. Information about performing the repair is shown below after the
download link.

After downloading the file you can do the following steps to repair the
installation:
1. Use Windows key with R to bring up the run dialog box.
2. Use tab key to the browse button and press spacebar.
3. Browse to the downloaded JAWS setup file and press enter key.
4. Use tab key to move to where JAWS says "open colon edit combo", press
the end key and then press spacebar.
5. Type in /Type repair, (that is first type a slash followed immediately
by the word type then a space and then the word repair.
6. Use tab key to the OK button and press enter key.
7. Follow the prompts.
Take care.

Hello all,
How does one go about doing a repair of JAWS? I put my JAWS cd into my
computer and it did not give me the option to repair, just to install the
program.
Thanks in advance,
Greg Wocher
