no way I'm gonna get somebody experienced to help me with that then. The last thing I need is for jaws to mess up and with my luck, I'll scrue it all up. hahaha Thanks for the info though.

However, I must warn you that it is a very delicate operation and that you really have to follow everything as shown in the procedure or else you'll have to re-install jaws. I suggest that you ask someone experienced if you are not too sure about doing this yourself. Here is the procedure below You can also visit www.dlee.org for more information as this was taken from this site which is Dug Lee's site, the creator of the scripts. To install the SkypeWatch system under JAWS 6.0 or later: Liste de 13 ?l?ments 1. If you already installed SkypeWatch by adding a line to the original JAWS default.jss from Freedom Scientific (this was the procedure before June 2, 2007), reverse this as follows before proceeding: Liste de 4 ?l?ments, niveau d'imbrication 1 A. Type JAWSKey+0 from within any application to open the JAWS Script Manager. B. Type Ctrl+Shift+D to open default.jss. C. Find and remove the line that says Citation use "skypewatch.jsb" Fin de la citation Make sure to avoid removing anything besides this line. D. Type Ctrl+S to recompile default.jss, then Alt+F4 to close the Script Manager. SkypeWatch will be unloaded at this point. Fin de la liste, niveau d'imbrication 1 2. Open the JAWS user folder by going to the Start menu, then All Programs, then your JAWS version, then Explore JAWS, and then Explore My Settings. Leave this folder open as you go to the next step. We will refer to this folder window as the User folder from now on. 3. Check for a default.jss file in the folder just opened. If you find it, and it is small, meaning less than 50 K in size, open it by typing JAWSKey+0 to open the Script Manager, then Ctrl+Shift+D to open the custom default.jss file, then skip to step 11. If you find it but it is a big file, meaning over 200 K in size, delete it and continue with the next step. This situation occurs when the JAWS original default.jss gets modified but saved in the user folder, which became JAWS' default behavior at some point. If you do not find default.jss in the User folder, continue to the next step. 4. Open the JAWS shared folder by going to the Start menu, then All Programs, then your JAWS version, then Explore JAWS, and then Explore Shared Settings. Leave this folder open as you go to the next step. We will refer to this folder window as the Shared folder from now on. 5. Copy default.jsb to default_fs.jsb in the Shared folder just opened. You can do this as follows: Liste de 4 ?l?ments, niveau d'imbrication 1 A. Find default.jsb in the file list. Be careful that the file you find is default.jsb, ending with B as in Bravo, and not default.jsd, ending in D as in Delta. (Default JAWS voices read these very similarly.) B. Type Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V to copy the file to the clipboard and bring back the copy into the file list. The copy will show up as "Copy of default.jsb." C. Find the copy, usually possible just by pressing the End key to go to the last file in the list. D. Press F2 to edit the name of the file, then change the name to default_fs.jsb and press Enter to rename the file. Fin de la liste, niveau d'imbrication 1 6. Move the new default_fs.jsb file from the Shared folder to the User folder. You can do this by typing Ctrl+X on the file, pressing Alt+Tab to go to the open User folder window, and typing Ctrl+V there to paste the file into that folder. 7. Type JAWSKey+0 to open the JAWS Script Manager, then type Ctrl+N and then Enter to open a blank screen within the Script Manager. 8. Enter the following code, by typing or pasting from this document as you prefer: Citation Use "default_fs.jsb" void function _filler() return endFunction Fin de la citation The dummy function is necessary to avoid problems compiling default.jss under JAWS 7.1 and later. 9. Verify that the code you entered looks exactly as shown above. Failure to enter this code correctly, or failure to create default_fs.jsb correctly as described earlier, can cause the next step to disable all JAWS keystrokes. If that happens, it will be necessary to find a way to delete default.jsb from this User folder before JAWS will work again. 10. Save the new custom default.jss file and recompile it. Do this by typing Ctrl+S and, when prompted, entering the name "default.jss" (without the quotes) and pressing Enter. You should hear JAWS say "Compile complete." If you get an error message instead, press the OK button, then go back and check the code and recompile as necessary. If you get a warning like "This file already exists, do you want to replace it?" choose Yes. This will probably happen to several people, because the old SkypeWatch installation procedure can create a copy of default.jss in the JAWS user folder. By saying Yes here, you will not be replacing the original JAWS default files. 11. Whether you reached this step from step 10 or from step 3, you should still be in the Script Manager with the custom default.jss file loaded. Add this below the Use "default_fs.jsb" line: Citation Use "skypewatch.jsb" Fin de la citation 12. Recompile the default.jsb file with the JAWS Script Manager to make the new code immediately take effect. Do this by typing Ctrl+S. You should hear JAWS say "Compile complete." If you get an error message instead, press the OK button, then go back and check the code and recompile as necessary. 13. Close the JAWS Script Manager, the Shared folder window if open, and the User folder window, each with Alt+F4. Fin de la liste SkypeWatch Maintenance For JAWS 6.0 and Later Because SkypeWatch modifies JAWS' default behavior, a small bit of maintenance is required after any change to default JAWS files. This can happen when Liste de 3 ?l?ments . You update JAWS through the Update option in JAWS 7.1 and later. . You upgrade to a new JAWS version. . You install or remove something that modifies default.jss in the shared folder. Fin de la liste The following procedure will insure correct operation of JAWS and SkypeWatch after such a change: Liste de 2 ?l?ments 1. Copy default.jsb in the shared folder to default_fs.jsb in the user folder. 2. Unload and reload JAWS once to reset its default behavior. Fin de la liste JAWS 6.0 and Later Recovery Procedure The following procedure was worked out, tested, and reported to me by Roy Nickelson. Thanks much to Roy for this. This procedure applies if JAWS stops functioning due to a mistake in the above JAWS 6.0 and later installation procedure. Liste de 8 ?l?ments 1. Type Windows+U to run Microsoft Narrator so you'll have speech during this procedure. If Windows+U does not work on your system (a rare but possible problem), instead type Windows+R, then the word Narrator, then Enter. 2. Type Windows+R, then the word JAWS8 or JAWS71 or the appropriate command for your JAWS version, then Enter. Because JAWS is already running, this will bring up the Context menu for JAWS rather than running it again. 3. Type Alt+Shift+F4. This will bring up the "Exit JAWS?" dialog. The "shift" part of that command gets around any possible script attached to a plain Alt+F4. 4. Press Enter to close JAWS. The keyboard will now become fully usable. 5. Launch the user settings folder by going to the Start menu, then All Programs, then your JAWS version, then Explore JAWS, and finally Explore My Settings. Be sure to use Explore My Settings, not Explore Shared Settings. 6. From the folder just opened, delete default.jsb. This will restore JAWS' default behavior. 7. Close Narrator by Alt+Tabbing to it and typing Alt+F4. 8. Restart JAWS in your normal fashion. Lyn & Twinny. ******** skype& aim = keanemaniac email & msn = keanemaniac at gmail.com ******** "(...)
