Wouldn't it makemore since to use the Settings packager instead of coppying all of the files from the Enu folder? I have not coppied files from the Enu folder when I have moved from JFW 5.1, 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0 (These are the only versions I have used the most.) Instead, I have used the Settings Packager to move all of my settings to each new version once it was installed. Yes, you will probably have to repair JAWS. Hope you get it back working!

I don't think it is a good idea to copy everything from an older version of jaws to a newer one in the enu folder.Because files that FS updated in there were then replaced when you said yes toall.Now as it was earlier suggested you or someone will have to run a repair onthe jaws 8 version. good luck----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan MacIsaac" <jrmacisaac@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 2:55 PMSubject: RE: I need to get installation maintenance started urgently on jaws8Message Hi, To do a repair of Jaws 8, you must put the Jaws installation CD in your CD drive or run the installation file you downloaded from FS when you originally installed version 8. When you do this on a system that already has Jaws 8 installed, you will get options to repair or modify the installation of Jaws. Select the repair option and hopefully this will fix your problem.

One of my colleagues who is partially sighted have been given the assignment to install jaws8 onto our machines.Its not something we can do ourselves as there's a lot of codes that needsto be entered from a printed document. So now jaws8 is installed but I wanted to transfer all my settings from jaws7 to jaws8. In the first place I set jaws' speed and punctuation and I also made asetting in the default config file so that I can be able to use the numpadand extended keys separately.To tell you exactly which settings it is: its in the default configuration file: insert+f6, control+shift+d, I went to the keyboard item on the set options menu and I selected the checkboxes: differentiate between numpad and extended keys and differentiate between left and right shift keys.I also have place markers which I use on my survey page which I want to use and then there is my dictionary files and script files with a few scripts Icreated for Microsoft word and internet explorer.So I took the shortest route: I went into jaws7's enu folder and I copied everything by pressing control+a and control+c.Then I went to jaws8's enu folder and I pressed control+v and I said: yes toall.So I was impressed when I noticed that the speed of jaws8 is the same asjaws7; the way I set it and all my configuration settings and dictionary files were there. But then suddenly I started getting many annoyances. First of all when Iwent into Microsoft word I get an error message box teling me that there isa problem with a word mag script file.And then I also got an annoying message: something to do with unknown function call to alerts. That's what I made out it said. It is probably a function in the default script file that went corrupt because I copied everything from jaws7 to jaws8. So then I tried to find the installation maintenance program of jaws8.First I went into the programs menu under my start menu, in jaws8, in toolsbut there is no installation maintenance; only uninstall jaws. Then I went into a folder under program files called install shield information.And I pressed enter on a setup.exe file, but then jaws said something about:sound max setup and suddenly jaws freezed.So then I restarted but nothing happened. So then I couldn't use my computerat all. So then the I T guys came out and they fixed the problem. They weren't aware that I clicked on a setup file and interrupted the install by restarting, they just said that sound drivers went corrupt. So my colleague wasn't too impressed with me.So now my sound is working again but I still have the problem of my jaws scripts and functions not working correctly because I tried to transfer everything from jaws7 to jaws8. I realized that I should only copied the dictionary files from jaws7 to jaws8 and rather create that few scripts myself all over and set the configuration settings. I made a big balls up by copying everything from jaws7 to jaws8. So now I need to repair jaws and I can't find installation maintenance at all. It seems as if jaws8 doesn't have installation maintenance, only uninstall jaws. Can anyone kindly advise me on how to repair jaws? I want to do it without having to obtain the cd. The jaws cds is kept by my colleague and he is a very cranky person and hewon't allow me to use the jaws cds myself and he will jump down on me if hehave to repair jaws because I messed up something. So I'm really afraid to Ask Him so I need to repair jaws without him knowing anything. Another alternative is that I can download the jaws8 setup file fromfreedom scientific onto my flash drive and then at work open the file frommy flash drive and it should give me an option to repair, modify or uninstall then I can repair jaws. But I noticed the file is 62 mb. Isn't there another way I can restore the original files without the cd? If my only other alternative is then to download the file and in that wayrepair jaws should I download the demo which is 58 mb or should I downloadthe http download which is 62 mb. Your help is desperately appreciated.At this stage I haven't really encountered any problems that jaws doesn'tread something propperly but it keeps teling me: unknown function call; unknown function call. Even if I go into the start menu and I open up a submenu it says that message to me continuously.
