No if you have these dictionary files it is because you or someone else has
updated the dictionary.  So deleting them is fine I would back them up just
in case you need to recover some change later.  As for how to find them  the
following is taken directly from the help system of jaws 

The JAWS Program Group

 

The JAWS Program Group

 

When you install JAWS, the JAWS 8.0 program group is added to your Windows
Start menu. To access this program group, do the following: 

 

list of 4 items

1. Press WINDOWS Key to open the Start menu. 

2. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select Programs and then press RIGHT
ARROW. If you are using Windows XP, select All Programs instead. 

3. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select JAWS 8.0 and then press RIGHT
ARROW. This is the JAWS program group. 

4. Each command in the JAWS program group is described in the next section.
To carry out one of these commands, use the arrow keys to select the command

and then press ENTER. 

list end

 

Explore JAWS

 

The items in the Explore JAWS submenu are shortcuts to folders that contain
important JAWS files. These shortcuts display the contents of the various
folders

in Windows Explorer. 

 

list of 4 items

. Explore My Settings - View your user-specific settings files. These are
the settings associated with your user profile. 

The folder you want.

. Explore Program Files - View the JAWS program files. 

. Explore Shared Settings - View shared settings files for this computer. 

. Explore the Manuals - View electronic copies of printed JAWS documentation
and other useful materials, including the JAWS Quick Start Guide. 

list end

 

Note: These shortcuts are only available in Windows 2000 or later.

and how do I find these files and is it just safe to delete them? Does Jaws
automatically create a new default.jdf?

 

Cheers,

No I cannot reproduce this using jaws 8 latest build with windows messenger
latest build.  

Remove any jdf files from your own personal  user  folder backing them up
somewhere and see if this solves the problem. The two jdf files you are
going to be interested in are default.jdf and  msn messenger.jdf

Hiya list,

 

Whenever I type look, book, cook etc when chatting to friends in live
messenger it doesn't pronounce my words correctly either in input area or
when I finally send the message, all I get is lo, bo, co etc as referring to
those 3 words above. I have latest Jaws 8 and latest live messenger though
it did do this in previous version as I thought updating may have fixed it.
Also am running XP home

 

Any help will be appreciated ,

 

thanks

 

Jim from Oz
