[JAWS-Users] Repairing JAWS 11
Hi, How can I Repair JAWS 11? I am using Windows 7, 64 Bit Pro. When I go into Add / Remove Programs I only have the Option to remove JAWS. I do not see the Option to Repair JAWS. After I installed the latest version of JAWS 11 I have problems reading text on the screen, when routing PC to JAWS curser. I want to try to Repair JAWS to see if this resolves the problem. Thank you for any help. Best regards, Bill For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

The steps for repair should still work fine, but you want to get the latest build or at least the build you are repairing. Take care.

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, 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:\J11.0.1447-64bit.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. A 2nd way to do the same thing.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Repairing JAWS 11
Try downloading the latest version of the JFW setup and running the setup press the next button, JAWS will start back in a slower pace then, pick the repair button then press the second repair button. there is another way to do that as well, you can press the following combination win plus R then brows for the setup file you had previously saved the setup then open it, then press the space bar then type "/repair". I hope I was able to help you out. Tim Appleby - Original Message - From: "Bill Tipton" To: Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 9:51 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Repairing JAWS 11 Hi, How can I Repair JAWS 11?
