Okay but how do you do that when jaws is your only screen reader? Maybe I should look for NVDA or something like that, load it and then use it to re-install Jaws. I already have the full version in my Downloads file. Thanks for the info.

One needs to remove jaws from their system and install the latest version. Then it works like a charm. God bless, Mark God Loves you!

I successfully downloaded the 64 bit for my Windows 7 64 bit laptop. It installed perfectly. I have found times when Jaws is giving me more information than past versions, but other than that, things seem to be working perfectly.
