Darran, I still think it may be because you have a previous version of Jaws
on the PC at the same time. Perhaps someone else on the list can say
whether this causes problems.

Thanks for the suggestion Belinda, but unfortunately there's no 4.5 on this** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
computer. I've got 5.00.844 and 5.1.383.
I'll keep trying different ways to fix this, but a re-install may be the way I'll have to go.

| Hi Darran,
| I had exactly the same problem on a machine (Win XP) when I installed Jaws
| 5.1 for the first time - you can't access Help using any method. But I
| still had Jaws 4.5 running as well and I decided to uninstall that and
then
| try again, then the Help worked OK. I assumed that was the problem,
| although it's a shame as I'd still like to have 4.5 available sometimes.
| Have you still got 4.5 running as well?
