Try pressing Alt, then F and arrow down to save as. Once the doc is saved, Adobe will open it and it is readable.

Re: cannot reinstall either version of jaws/says installation failed

The biggest problem with trying to re-install Jaws 2019 happened after we downloaded the program from the FS site and ran the repair. That’s when I found the duplicate Jaws2019 .EXE file in my program list.

I had the same problem back in June. The Jaws tecnician ran the repair and blew my computer out of the water. I had to contact a second Jaws technician who spent 2 days to finally get Jaws to reinstall. He had to remove all Jaws links out of the registry, twice before Jaws would re-install. The problem was that when the first technician did the Jaws repair it put two copies of Jaws 2019 in the computer.

Re: Winamp
JM Casey
Hi.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
So, when you tried to open Winamp again, did the User Account prompt appear? That should not happen. What version of Winamp are you using? I don't personally use the library for anything. But can you get to the menus and see what, if any, other windows you have open? Is full screen mode for videos maybe accidentally turned on? Doubt it's this as I don't think that feature will even work unless a video is playing.

Re: Winamp

Well, so long as Windows still supports the old direct sound standard, winamp will probably still work. Si9nce Microsoft takes backward compatibility really seriously, even though Wasapi has been around since Windows Vista, the old legacy method is still supported right up to Windows 10. And, it turns out, with good reason – surprisingly, a number of newer audio players still use it, including Foobar.
