Jaws context menu with, Jaws key + J, if you run Jaws from the system
tray. Then go to, Utilities / Import
/ Export settings submenu
and press enter. Now arrow down to, Export settings..., press enter, now
make sure that the, Export all settings radio button
is selected.
Tab to, next, press spacebar. You're now in a dialog to select a name
& save location, but the file will already be named and the
default
location is the desktop, so tab to finish , press enter and all your
settings for that Jaws version will be saved to the desktop. After you
install Jaws
just import this settings file.
How to Import Your Exported settings
1. Launch your JAWS context menu by pressing,
Insert + J.
2. Use the arrow keys and find utilities.
3. Find and click on the Import/Export settings
menu
4. Click on the Import Settings…

It is not necessary to uninstall JAWS. Instead, run the installer
for your version of JAWS and choose "repair" from the list of options. If you
don't have the installer for your version you can obtain it by going to the
Freedom Scientific Web site and selecting the Downloads link. Doing a repair
will likely bring JAWS back to a default state, meaning that voice settings and
hotkeys will go back to their original settings.

hi Tony, Unfortunately, you have to uninstall and
reinstall Jaws to get FSReader back.
I hope I'm being helpful.
