[Trainer-talk] JAWS recently upgraded to 14 on Windows 7 laptop

Wed Mar 27 21:35:30 UTC 2013

I have probably 80 Clients that I support off and on over the past two
months running j14 latest and haven't had any problems. That being
said, I very rarely update or have my clients update via the patch
update, or from the dialogue that pops up and offers you an
opportunity to download the latest update. 99.9% of the time, when I
am told an update is available, I go to the FS site, and download the
entire .exe file.

To add to a previous post, if you have done such an update, download
the latest build from the FS web site, and save it some where
relatively easy to get to.
Once it's downloaded, navigate to the run prompt Windows key +r, and
shift tab back to the browse button. Press space bar on browse, and
Find the .exe file that you donloaded for jaws and press enter. Do not
press ok at this point.  Go to the end of the file path that is in the
run prompt, and type the following, /type repair
Make sure there is a space between the end of the file path and the /type

Press enter and say yes to the UAC if prompted.
This is a different repair than the one offered in the setup package.
