Hi David, that's helpful. Thank you for telling me. I actually did the same thing two years ago and luckily I have the DVD for Jaws 18 so I end up reinstalling Jaws 18 on my computer and got fSReader back. I guess i should consider using your method next time. Thanks again.

If you export your settings beforehand you can
import them back after you do the repair. Steps below.
You export all your settings by going into the
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…
5. A dialogue will appear which says “a backup
file”, so choose the browse option and find the backup file.
6. Press next

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. Thanks for asking. Best regards michael Munn Member: Virginia Association of Blind Students National Federation of the Blind of Virginia Student of: Hadley Institute of the Blind
