[Blind-Computing] help with system restore
I saved this reply someone had written on how to perform a system restore, a few months ago, but when I go to “system restore” in my programs menu, nothing comes up like this. I use win 7, i. e. 8, which is why the “restore”, and jaws 12 1. From the system restore window, choose, restore my computer to an earlier time, and tab to the next button, and press enter. 2. Use control home, to move to the top of the page, then arrow downuntil you hear the current month and year. while arrowing down the page, you will hear instructions for restoring your computer. 3. While the cursor is positioned on the current month, shift tab, and you will be on the previous month button. if you want to see the restore points in the previous month, press enter on the previous month button. 4. Follow the above steps to locate the month from which you want to select a restore point from. Each time you select the previous month, or next month, you can use the up and down arrow keys to move thru the text on the selected page. 5. Once you have selected the month you want, from the available choices,, arrow down the page until you hear the day of the week you want. This is where a simple NotePad file of your restore points comes in handy. After making a restore point, if you record this imformation in a file, you can refer to it to see the exact date you want to restore to. This makes it quicker to locate a restore point in the restore point calendar. 6. place your cursor on a day of the week, and then tab until you hear Jaws read a restore point, and from here you can use your up and down arrow keys to see the list of restore points on the page. 7. once you have found the restore point you want to use, tab to the next button, and press enter. 8. Here you should get a confirmation page, so, start at the top of the page, and arrow down to read the imformation. 9. If you are satisfied with your selection, then tab to the next button and press enter. The system restoration should begin. 10. Do not disturb the computer during this process, your machine should re-boot when the restore operation has been completed. There may be a restore confirmation screen presented to you when the machine re-boots, and you can okay this dialogue to close it, and resume using your computer. NOTE: This is how the process went on the system mentioned above using one particular version of Jaws, and does not reflect how Jaws will read the imformation on every system.

[Blind-Computing] Setting up and using personalization, in Windows 8
Hello all, I have a new Win 8 computer, and I am using JAWS 14. My wife helped me set up some sounds, such as e-mail and recycle bin, along with some others. She did this through the personalization, but the only ones that will work are the e-mail, and recycle bin. If anyone can help, or let us know if this is even possible in Win 8, I would be really grateful. Thanks, Allen Sent From America's Heartland Failure is not an option -- it comes bundled with Windows. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] Google Chrome question
Actually no I hadn't. I know there are some special methods/apps out there to use instead of digging around one's control panel error logs to find out why it crashes, that kind of tells me it's time to move away from it if they're making it easier for people to find out why it crashes. I simply don't' have time to hunt down those things unless there is no other option. It mostly crashes when logging into my suppliers site to order product which runs a portal. I've disabled everything that can be. I'm running IE10.x, Win 7 64-bit, and JFW 14. I'm finding Chrome to be much more responsive, more straightforward in settings, and I hope stable. If I were you, I'd not change your settings loll. Actually, I really suspect Jaws 14 as it has crashed and locked up many times with IE. Not happy with the updates to 14 at all. Actually JFW 13 has crashed using IE 10 too. They need to share the sandbox and play nice, but not happening I guess.

Part of the problem though of running older browsers is vulnerability to security issues. My last computer found its death by nasties that got in, not necessarily form a browser security hole. At any rate I'm not too in favor of leaving any holes if possible, even at the cost of some accessibility. Firefox works some of the time without hanging, but it's unpredictable. I could try looking to see if I missed removing any add-ons other than my security software add-ons and see if that helps. I actually used Chrome today to finish placing my on-line business orders and it ran flawlessly ;D. Very responsive and stable. Explorer crashed no less than 5-times in a half an hour. I use to swear by Firefox, my wife too. She was directed by the IT department at work to use Chrome as it is the most secure and stable at this point. Granted she is sighted, but I know there are folks using screen readers with Chrome, apparently successfully.

I have to use the Jaws cursor to see it, you may need similar. Hope that helps.

Try the following for Windows7: 1. Open the start menu/ Programs, press enter on Accessories. 2. Arrow to system tools press enter. 3. Arrow to system restore press enter. You're now in system restore. 4. Tab to, next, press the spacebar, you should now be in a list of restore points. Since I've never done a system restore in Win7 I'm going to stop right here. Hopefully you can take it from here or, someone will pick up where I left off. HTH Take care.

I use win 7, i. e. 8, which is why the restore, and jaws 12 1. From the system restore window, choose, restore my computer to an earlier time, and tab to the next button, and press enter. 2. Use control home, to move to the top of the page, then arrow downuntil you hear the current month and year. while arrowing down the page, you will hear instructions for restoring your computer. 3. While the cursor is positioned on the current month, shift tab, and you will be on the previous month button. if you want to see the restore points in the previous month, press enter on the previous month button. 4. Follow the above steps to locate the month from which you want to select a restore point from.

After making a restore point, if you record this imformation in a file, you can refer to it to see the exact date you want to restore to. This makes it quicker to locate a restore point in the restore point calendar. 6. place your cursor on a day of the week, and then tab until you hear Jaws read a restore point, and from here you can use your up and down arrow keys to see the list of restore points on the page. 7. once you have found the restore point you want to use, tab to the next button, and press enter. 8.

Do not disturb the computer during this process, your machine should re-boot when the restore operation has been completed. There may be a restore confirmation screen presented to you when the machine re-boots, and you can okay this dialogue to close it, and resume using your computer. NOTE:
Re: [Blind-Computing] Alt tab with Excel 2010
Hi Al, I don't have a remedy. At work, I use Excel 2010 and Jaws 13, and don't experience that problem. I have Jaws 14 but don't use it because overall I find 13 performs better. Hope someone else has ideas.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Alt tab with Excel 2010
I face the same problem with Excel 2007 and JAWS 14 on my work PC. Since you are facing the same problem with 2010 and not sure if you are using JAWS 14, assuming you are. I am escalating this to the JAWS support team. I am already in the persuit of resolving many other issues with how JAWS behaves on my work PC.
