Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws on the Mac
From what I hear on the mac list. Jaws works the same, but the improvement is in windows actually having power to work.

Service pack needs to be installed before enabling windows mail. So far that is the only requirement I am aware of.

Just beware, if you do the registry hack to use Windows Mail, it could interfere with getting Windows updates. Supposedly, if you already have SP1 for Win 7, then it might work, but since Windows Live works decently with Jaws, you are forewarned. I agree it doesn't have the look and feel of OUtlook Express, and you have to get used to the contacts manager for doing things, so you can go with whatever you want. Also, some people are using Thunderbird from Mozilla which doesn't require a hack. - Original Message - From: Linda Vanderlitz To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 3:37 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] I was wondering what would be thebestE-mailclientto use?

Re: [JAWS-Users] What does repairing JAWS 13 actually do?
Hi JAWS repair doesn't give you information about what it is actually doing. I assume that it checks all of the JAWS modules and reinstalls or fixes those that don't match what it is looking for. As for the user settings, the only thing that was different was that my Dectalk Express was no longer my default speech and I couldn't switch back to it. The only synthesizer choices I had were Eloquence, SAPI5 and RealSpeak. I had to go to the Synthesizer and Braille manager from the All Programs\JAWS13\Tools menu and reinstalled it. I restarted JAWS and then switch back to it. I was having the problem of JAWS not speaking certain things in an application, but the repair fixed it. I believe that you need to use the version and level of JAWS you are running to do a repair. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Dujari, Prateek Sent: Monday, August 27, 2012 05:53 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] What does repairing JAWS 13 actually do?
