Hi All,
I will write this once again for those of you that are new to the list or
just didn't get it!
You will never have to deal with losing your JAWS authorizations again; and
the
error 6 code for the FW1884 by doing the following steps.
Would a couple of you at least respond and let me know that you have
received this
email? Some times it seems as if not all of our mail makes it through.
Thanks,
SeanA!
Backing up JAWS authorization for future reformats and hardware changes.
1. open My Computer.
2. Open (Local Disk C:".
3. open "Program Files".
4. Open "Freedom Scientific"
5.Highlight both the "Activator and Authorization" folders and then copy
them to a storage media of your choice. I use a thumb drive.
In the future, by simply replacing these two folders after reinstalling
JAWS, a format or losing your authorization due to hardware changes (such as
adding memory or forgetting to power on your FW1884 ) you will never need
Freedom Scientific again. . When replacing these folders to their
original location on your hard drive, say (yes) to the question "Do you want
to overwrite existing files?". I have been using this over and over and
over again since a year ago having installed my FW1884. Not only does it
take care of losing the authorization, but if you get the error 6 message
again; you just simply unload JAWS with the (insert+F4) and reload JAWS and
you will never miss a beet! No pun intended, though that was cute., .
If you are really bugged by the error 6 Message, you can call Freedom
Scientific and request them to change your language settings to "all" (of
which they don't like you to know this information) and the error 6 message
will go away even though you now can deal with it from my instructions
above. Don't forget to back up your folders once again after FS performs
the change to your authorization skeam on their server. you will need to
run the "activate Now" from a clean install of JAWS installation menu in
order for your system to be updated with the new language setting.
And most importantly.... save these two folders!
