Nermin,
I'm not sure what the "RC" implies, nor why FS refuses to help. What's that
all about?
In any case, we walked through the registry, cleaning out any keys that were
specific to JAWS, and there were several with the multiple-character key
names that start with the left bracket ([) symbol.
The most important part of the registry surgery had to do with finding
instances of jfwvid and deleting them. I recall there were jfwvid(0) and
jfwvid(1) in my registry that all needed to be removed. Apparently these
were related to the video chain.
Again once all the changes were done and the registry was saved, JAWS was
non-functional and the system needed to be rebooted to a non-JAWS state.
Then I launched a JAWS install executable that I had set up as an icon on my
desktop, and followed the instruction. It was basically a very clean,
first-time install and of course required that I go through the activation,
so keep your original activation code handy.
Alternatively you could also install JAWS using your original CD, rather
than a desktop launch.
Again it's strange that FS is resistant to helping.
Dave

Hi Dave,
do you happen to have any documentation or something that you remember off
your head to get rid of this issue?
FS tech support said "no support for RC Systems", I don't even remember the
name of the gentleman.
Somehow I understand it, but I am not going to sue anyone or so, I just want
a working system.
I did already install and uninstall JAWS 10, also reinstalled and
uninstalled the mirror driver to no avail, looked inside the registry, and
indeed, there were some references left, but I dare not touch anything
before I know about which key to delete etc.
Sighted assistance is not an option, since there is none available at this
point, reverting to an earlier OS would mean installing it all from scratch.
This really sucks, when you have a working system in theory, and the only
thing preventing you from using it, is what you use every day, wow that's
tough.
