Sorry Tim, the last email got away from me.
I was just typing that I am new to Windows 10 and am still unfamiliar with
my new desktop and a lot of the new stuff I am absorbing.

Thanks for the prompt reply Tim.
Yes, as regards the Skype version, that's what I had thought too. But when
I checked the number within Skype using insert plus control plus v, that's
what it said, noting that it said Microsoft before skype. Perhaps I should
download a clean Skype. I am just
I will take a look at the scripts within JAWS 19 and look forward to
experimenting with them.
Thanks again

Hi Paul,
I was under the impression that you didn't need to install third party
scripts for Skype any more.
The default scripts which come with Jaws 19 are the most up-to-date ones
to use.
Not sure where you get a skype version of 14.6 from. For me the latest
skype version is 8.46.

Subject: [vicsireland] JAWS Scripts For Skype Problem
Hi all.
Anybody out there using the current JAWS scripts for Skype?
I run the Skype 8 Electron.exe file and follow the simple instructions but
the scripts are not loading as I can confirm by hitting insert plus q. I
may be missing something obvious so any help appreciated
Here are the instructions for downloading the scripts from Doug Lee's site
wwwdlee.org..
1. Load JAWS if this has not already been done. This will require
administrative privileges on the computer.
2. Run JAWS as the user for whom the scripts are to be installed. This
and the following steps must be performed for each user of the computer who
will be using JAWS with these scripts.
3. Download and run, or run directly, the installer for these scripts
<http://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/jfw_skypeelectron.exe> ; and follow the
on-screen directions. Be sure to install the scripts in the currently
running JAWS version if a JAWS version list is presented.
4. To verify successful installation, type Ins+Q while Skype 8 is in
focus. Part of the JAWS spoken response should be a revision number. If you
do not hear a revision number, the scripts are not correctly loaded.
.
I am not entirely clear as to what exactly instruction 2 involves. Could
this be where my difficulty with the download lies?
I am using Windows 10, the latest update to JAWS 19 and Microsoft.Skype
14.6.
Thanks in advance
Paul
