To run repair on jaws, you have to put in the disk and start it like you are installing jaws. It takes a few minutes and then it well ask you if you want to do a repair or install or on install. Just tap to repair and hit enter and there you go.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean McMahon" <smcmahon@xxxxxxxx>

How do we run jaws repare these days. Not an option under the add/remove programs, not an option when you open the installation file, and not under jaws utilities or any of the programs available under the jaws supmenu of programs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Monitor" <mred99@xxxxxxxxx>

I don't know either,

When I try to update JAWS tells me I am running the latest update. And Eric
Damery told me the other   day by email that the next update won't be out
till sometime in April.

I'm just curious as to how this info was found out, since there's no
download link or information what so ever on FS's site.

I'll bet someone at FS made a mistake in the release.  I was told by Eric
Damery that the next update to JAWS probably would be sometime in April.

         Hi.  When I checked for updates, I was told I was running
the latest version, and I'm running build 1163.
The interesting thing is that since others had reported seing build
1171, I made like I was going to atempt to download the latest
version of JAWS from the FS website.
But instead of just downloading build 1163 again, I slightly changed
the file name to reflect the current build number. in other words, i
changed it so the file name would be: J8.0.1171U_ILM.exe
         To my surprise, it actually worked and I was given the
opportunity to download it.  But since there is such confusion about
build numbers and we don't even know what is changed in this latest
version, I am going to hold off until I get official word from FS.
and because of what happened last time with automatic updates, I
think i'm going to stick with just downloading fresh copies from the
FS website. I'll at least know I got a full version in case automatic
updates screws up again.
