Cracking This Version of JAWS.

Document written by James A. Dean.

***Getting Started***

Making this Quela version of JAWS 7.0.135 a full, authorized version is pretty straight-forward. If you are reading this document, then you have already unzipped the contents of the package. The key generator and the JAWS executable can be found in a folder called "JAWS For Windows 7.0.

***Procedure***

1. Run the JAWS executeable and install JAWS as you normally would.
2. Once the installation is complete, restart if asked. If not, disable JAWS 7 and use either sighted assistance or an alternative screen reader. The windows 2000 and XP narrator program will work if that's all you have.
3. Highlight the "keygen.exe" file and press enter.
4. When the program starts, tab until you reach the "Create" button and press space or enter.
5. The program will terminate. Restart the machine.
6. Run JAWS 7, and just to make sure you didn't break anything, go to the "about..." menu item in JAWS and see what it says.

***Things of Note***

1. When you run the "keygen.exe" file, just tab directly to the create button. Do not edit any of the edit fields, of which there are two. You can if you like, I suppose, but it is not recommended!
2. If you have JAWS set to run from the system tray, you may get to the "About..." menu item by pressing insert+J, and just arrowing to "About..." or just press "A."
3. If you have JAWS set to run from your taskbar, meaning that if you press alt+tab, you'll land in the "JAWS" Program. The "About JAWS For Windows" menu item can be found in the "Help" menu.

Happy Screen reading!
