Why does SkypeWatch no longer work after a JAWS repair or update?
Those who set up SkypeWatch by modifying the original default.jss file from Freedom Scientific will find that a JAWS repair or update will disable SkypeWatch. This is because the line added to default.jss is lost when default.jss is replaced during the repair or update. Note that the recommended procedure for installing SkypeWatch was changed on June 2, 2007. Those who installed SkypeWatch using the newer procedure and who use JAWS version 6.0 or later should not have problems with SkypeWatch after a JAWS repair or update. If SkypeWatch stops functioning after installation via the newer procedure, reapply the new procedure to reinstall SkypeWatch. See the Script Installation Instructions page for details. For users of Skype script revisions older than revision 442 who installed SkypeWatch via the older procedure of modifying the original default.jss file, the following procedure should be sufficient to restore SkypeWatch after a JAWS repair or update: • From within Skype, type JAWSKey+
