I used the first method you outlined using the widnows run dialog box.
After being instructed to reboot unfortunately the menus were
not repaired as I thought they would be. I did save these notes because
I am certain they will be more than useful down the road. I think
learning a new process is equally important as the desired result
outcomes. Thanks much. Looks like I have to stick with jaws v12 for the
time being until I decide to uninstall and reinstall v13 again.

Hello there;
2 ways to perform a jaws repair.
1. Place a copy of the Jaws executable version that you want to repair into
the main root of the " C " drive.
For example;
If you are running Jaws13 most recent version you would paste a copy of;
J13.0.852-32bit.exe
Or:
J13.0.852-64bit.exe
into the main root of the " C " drive.
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=copy to copy this Jaws executable, 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
executable 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=run to open the Run Dialogue Box.
Type, in, remember to type a capitalC ,"
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:\J13.0.852-32bit.exe /type repair
Or:
C:\J13.0.852-64bit.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.
Another way to do this is,
Download the corresponding executable,
Then run the install, and choose repair.

Hi.
The version on your dvd is probably an older version, than installed on your
system.
What if you tryed to download the executable from the Freedom Scientific's
homepage, and run this?

Emne: [JAWS-Users] can't repair jaws v13
I am trying to repair Jaws v13 with my jaws v13 dvd. However, I keep getting
a message that another version of jaws is already installed and I need to go
to add or remove programs and uninstal or configure jaws. I can not get the
menu that says to uninstall, modify or repair. I am using windows seven.
