David's advice seems good to me - and his MCPs are more recent than mine. The executable that it can't find is part of the activation process. Thanks Mark From: david.lant1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-l] Re: Reset System Variables Date: Fri, 21 May 2010 20:12:32 +0100 Hi, Now that you have JAWS speech back, I would suggest simply using the system Restore wizard again and going back to a restore point before you made the environment variable change. The restore you did sounds like it simply undid the registry change. The System Restore wizard is perfectly accessible and I’ve used it on numerous occasions when JAWS suddenly decided it wasn’t licensed any more. All the best, David David Lant Applications analyst MCPD Enterprise Application Development 3.5 MCTS ASP.NET 3.5, ADO.NET 3.5, Windows Communication Foundation 3.5, Windows Applications 3.5 From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of LU OGBE Sent: 21 May 2010 19:14 To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-l] Re: Reset System Variables Mark, Further to my last mail, I have been able to restore my system and JAWS has started speaking again. However, I have the same error message saying: <begin> Windows cannot find 'C:\windows\sysWOW64\\system32\\slui.exe' make sure you type the name correctly and then try again. <end> Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

You can do this with: 1. Restart your system 2. When the system first boots, type F8 to bring up the boot menu 3. Select the Safe Mode with Command Prompt option 4. Log-on as administrator if needed 5. At your command prompt type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe 6. Hit Enter 6. This will open the system restore wizard… However, I don't think that you will have a screen reader at that point. Sorry.
