While jaws7 is active, I went into start, programs, jaws8, explore jaws, explore my settings. I deleted everything with control+a and delete. Then I unloaded jaws7 and started jaws8 and voilla! it seems as if the factory settings were restored because all my speech rate settings etc. were gone and jaws no longer gave me that annoying error messages.. Do you think its a safe way of restoring it? Do I still need to obtain the setup file to repair jaws? Thanks for every one trying to help me-- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
