hi. The only person who would know that is your technition. This is why I think it's so incredibly important to at least learn this stuff from the beginning, because when you're in a situation like this, you're kind of relying on others for help and that's not cool. ok, if you wanna try and find the file yourself, do the following.
1. Go to the start menu.2. Go to the search sub menu. You may have to press your up or down arrow keys to get to it but it's there.
3. Press enter once and you'll land on the choice that says, for files or folders...
4. now press your tab key until you hear, all files and folders button. 5. Press your space bar and you'll get an edit box to search your drives. The file name you're looking for is: J8.0.423U_ILM.exe I put that on a separate line so you would be able to read it carefully.Just use your left and right arrow keys and you'll be able to figure out exactly how it's spelled.
6. type the file name, *exactly* as it appears into the edit box that says, all or part of the file name, edit.
7. Now press your tab key 7 times and you'll land on the search button. Press your space bar, and the search will start. to find your results, press your tab key and you'll find a list view. it'll probably say 0 items, but that's only because it hasn't found anything yet. But with luck it will. 8. Ok, now if you were successful, you found where your JAWS instalation file is, and now it's time to repair JAWS. 9. Press enter when you're focused on the file. You'll probably get a security warning, but you can bypass that by pressing alt plus r. 10. Ok, now if things have gone right, the instalation screen will have recognized that you have a version of JAWS on your machine, and it's giving you the different options, modify, repair, or remove. choose the repair option and JAWS will do a repair on itself. If it asks you to reboot your computer, please do so. Then when you come back up your version of JAWS *should* be at the factory defaults.
I hope this helps. At 12:22 PM 2/1/2007, you wrote:
Ok, someone got back and thanks, however, for now jjust working with the downloaded version... where do I find the installation file you downloaded from FS when I originally installed 8? Its on the c: but what is it called or is it a specific file under all the jaws files or waht and thanks again. I'll start loking for it. My disks should show up in a few days, but in the mean time Jaws 8 is hell!mmm version 8On Thu, 01 Feb 2007 11:04:10 -0400 Ryan MacIsaac <<mailto:jrmacisaac@xxxxxxxxxxx>jrmacisaac@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes:Hi,To do a repair of Jaws 8, simply 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.Regards, Ryan -----Original Message-----From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tickpub@xxxxxxxxSent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 2:12 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Repair on jaws 8 How?Back again about jaws repair: Went to jaws 8 menu, tools, and to remove jaws.
