[Blind-Computing] Problem with windows media player with audible books.
Listers, I have been trying to play audible books with windows media player with know success. I went in to the options of desktop player and checked media player for playing the books, and nothing. However, when I went in to media player, I ffound 33 books moved there from desktop player library, but none of them would play. I even tried to activate windows media player and couldn't. So, what's up? Can we play audible books with windows media player? If we can, how! Please someone help me with this one I don't like the fact that there's know volume control in Desktop player. Well, there is a volume control but you need the mouse to use it. At least, that's what my brother is saying. Thanks to all.

[Blind-Computing] JAWS Not Entering On Correct Links
I am using JAWS 14 with a Windows 7 64 bit system. I manage my FaceBook account through a client called TheFriendMail. I receive my FaceBook posts in my Outlook 2010 email account in groups of 50 from TheFriendMail. I have noticed for quite some time that when I try to click on the comment link it does not open the link I click on. It will always be 2 or 3 links before the one I clicked on, or 2 or 3 links after the one I clicked on. Apparently, my JAWS curser is not where it is saying it is. Can someone please help me figure out how to get this in sync again? Thanks, Donnie Life is like a camera. Just focus on what's important, develop from the negatives if things don't work out, just take another shot!

I want to ask anyone who downloads books from the bard site, and then transfers them to a cartridge, if they do it like I do? after the book is downloaded to my default win 7 download folder, I cut it to a folder in documents I have for bard books, which has about 12 books in it, and when I want to put this book on my cartridge, I open the zipped book, from the bard folder, copy the files, and then paste them to a folder, select the files, applications key to send to, and up to removeable. is this how you do it?

[Blind-Computing] deleting bard books from cartridge
I have 9 bard books on a cartridge, and want to delete 2, that aren’t in the series, but when I go through the steps to delete a book, there are no book titles listed on the cartridge, only the unzipped files. did I do something wrong when I transferred them, or is this how they are on your cartridge also? win 7 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] transfer downloaded bard book to cartridge
I transfer books from my computer to my flash drive in one of two ways. If I need to transfer only one saved book, I highlight it in my saved books folder, launch the file menu and select the extract all option to unzip the file, Then delete the zip file, cut the unzipped file to the clipboard and paste it to my flash drive. If I want to transfer multiple books to my flash drive at the same time, I use the free Humanware Companion program, which will transfer a whole bunch of books to the flash drive and delete the old books on the flash drive in one fell swoop with just a few keystrokes in its JAWS accessible interface.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Unable to attach a file doc. to a message using alt n
Hi Liuda, This is not a issue with JAWS. I checked on this on the internet and a lot of people have reported this problem with Outlook 2010. There was no clear cut solution suggested but they kept talking about disabling outlook add on's and running a repair on outlook 2010. I am not confident that this will solve your issue but worth the shot. Remember to restart Outlook after the repair OR removing the add on's. Instructions to disable add on's on Outlook 2010 are on the following site: http://blog.techhit.com/55637-how-to-find-and-disable-outlook-2010-add-ins-a nd-plugins Instructions on how to repair Outlook 2010 are on the site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA0103 57402.aspx Sorry for not having patience to copy and paste the instructions in my email, as always short of time and in a rush this morning.
