Donald, if you can launch Narrator it can help. But another way is to set a
desktop icon to the new JFW 12.0.1158 install file before you remove the old
version. Give that icon a label with a unique first letter like "Z" or "Q" and
when you have no speech, Windows+m to get to your desktop, press that letter
and then press Enter. JAWS will start speaking when it has started loading.

Doing an uninstall of JAWS is one helluva risk for a blind person who can’t
count on sighted help.
Is it even advisable?

Folks,
When I updated to the latest version via the update feature, I suffered most
of the problems described here and in earlier posts. I uninstalled JAWS and
did a clean install of JAWS 12.0.1158, and have suffered NO problems; internet
explorer or Excel.

Subject: internet explorer 8
With my new computer I find Internet Explorer 8 less and less responsive. 3
different sites I’ve had to install FireFox to even use them. I won’t install
the new JAWS update b/c of its issues with Excel, which I still have to use at
least for now.
Can I use Internet Explorer 9 with Jaws 12.0.525?

try windows key plus E then - this should open explorer in windows 7. If you
aren't already familiar with the explorer interface, it would be worth taking
some time to become familiar.

I did window key plus 2 and did not get anything. I did press key and got to
the search box and type window explore and only saw things from my documents.

Try this:
hit Windows key plus 2 to go to Windows Explorer.
Locate on your hard drive a file with an extension similar to the kind of
file you are opening in IE 9 (such as .wav, .mp3, .wma, etc). Right click this
file with the Jaws curser (brings up the context menu). Scroll down to the
"open with sub menu" option. Right arrow to open this menu. Then select the
option "choose default program..."
From there, select WinAmp as the desired default program for that file type.
If you don't know the exact file type you are trying to play through IE 9 -
then you may need to set Winamp as the default for several different file types
before it works as desired.
I hope this helps,
Bill
