it's possible that reinstalling will help. One or two people have run into the auth issue that you have. If 5.0 still works without going into demo mode, it has something to do with 5.1 not recognizing the authorization for some reason, so doing anything with the authorization will probably not change that. I would say in summary then to uninstall and reinstall 5.1 and see if that cures the problem.

Running a repair seems to be more of the best thing to do for this situation I guess. Sorry I didn't give you more info before when I wrote the message I just wanted to get the problem fixed as soon as I could. Or, would you still suggest to reinstall JAWS 5.10 again?
