I can only answer your second question. I always keep at least one back
version of JAWS for just such problems. All you have to do is exit the
current Jaws version and start the old jaws version. I always make sure
for ease of use that each has a separate short cut key. I always have ctrl
alt J for my older version, and ctrl alt K for my newer version.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Java Access Bridge or DownGrading Jaws

Hi All,

I need to use the Java Access bridge to give a presentation on Blackboard.
I've enabled Java Access Bridge in the Ease of Access Center, but things
don't seem to be working. The Blackboard page I need to work with appears
to be blank even with the bridge enabled and even after a system restart.
I'm trying to figure out why, so I have some
questions:

* The Java Access Bridge documentation says Jaws 13 and 14 are the only
supported screen readers. Since I'm using Jaws 15, my first question is
whether Jaws 15 or NVDA are also known to work with it.



* If I need to go back to Jaws 14, do I uninstall Jaws 15, or do I just
exit Jaws 15 before running Jaws 14?

* I'm running Windows 8.1. does anyone know if the bridge will work.
Since I was able to check it in Ease of Access, I'm assuming it should,
but just wondering ...

Thanks for any wisdom.

Ciao
