The problem is probably only that Jaws doesn't now start
automatifcally. (See my post regarding jaws 7.1 uninstall. I know
it's a pig, but if this is the case, here's a suggestion. Find your
desktop icon for your current, working version of Jaws. Rename it,
using the F2 key to something beginning with X.
Install the new Jaws. We must assume it's in and working, just not talking.
Close it with insert+F4.
Push windows key+M to get to the desk top.
Push x then return, wait for your old Jaws to start, then you at least
have speech.
Note that everyy new version of Jaws is full of bugs, and it's far
better to wait until they've all been sorted before downloading updates.
