In respect of all this then Christopher, What do I need to do to get another JAWS registration? My sound card is the Realtech ac97 I think, it came with the PC, which came with XP preinstalled; I was never sent a CD for ac97, so do you think it will still work after the installation? As for word2000, is there a way to make a copy of the programme so I can copy it back after the installation? I don't have a code for it! Your help is much apreciated, I don't have muc knowledge about these things when they stop working as they should! - Andy On Mon Jan 15 18:54 , 'Christopher Hallsworth' <chrishallsworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> sent: >First, yes doing a clean install will affect your JAWS registration >since a clean install will wipe your hard disk clean.
