[Blind-Computing] windows defender
Hello all. I would like to use Windows Defender. I'm told that it is not turned on in my computer, but when I tab to the link to turn it on, I get an error message that says access denied. Is there a secret to turning this on? Becky For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

[Blind-Computing] Adobe Reader Won't Finish Processing Document
Hi, All: My computer company sent me an invoice as an attachment of a PDF file and Adobe Reader Version 11.0.3 won't finish processing the document and just says processing document. The document should only be one or two pages. I had to re-install the program several days ago when there was a security update and I got an error when I tried to do it from within the menu and the trouble shooting from Adobe said to re-install. I did and thought I had followed the steps to make Adobe Reader work with screen readers, but may have messed up. I thought the program used to say something about infer reading order from setup or some such and there was a start button that needed to be pressed and a message that the screen reader would be silent while processing takes place. There was none of that with this document and it just says processing. My e-mail client is Thunderbird 17.0.6 and I've tried the procedure with both JAWS 14 and Window-Eyes 8.2 on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium machine. Should I just re-install Adobe Reader or has anyone seen this behavior with the update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Maria. Thanks so much for your reply. I did not know that. Does that mean that Microsoft Essentials has an equivalent included with it? Thanks.

[Blind-Computing] jaws and sound cards
I have two sound cards. One for my music and one main sound card that is in the computer for jaws. The music card is a USB audio Engine and the main card is a audio connnexant. In the jaws sound cards sub menu of jaws, I have audio connexant checked for the jaws sound card. Now I have this little program called sound switch. It allows me to press the f11 key to switch between sound cards. Thing is when I switch to the audio engine jaws quits coming out of the computer and goes to the audio engine. It says in the jaws help that jaws should stay with the sound card that is checked. How can I get this to work right.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Adobe Reader Won't Finish Processing Document
Hi Margaret, Below are the steps for setting Adobe to work with Jaws. Note that there are links with the Security Enhanced section to explain the consequences of unchecking items there, and you may want to find out what they have to say. 1. Go into preferences with control-k. JAWS lands on an item in a tree view. If you have been here before, it will be the item you last opened. Arrow down to Security Enhanced. Note that this is the item below Security. Then uncheck these 2 options, the 2nd option is not necessary to uncheck but, optional: Enable Protected Mode at startup, needs to be unchecked. Enable Enhanced Security, does not need to be unchecked. Note. When making changes in the Security Enhanced section, you will be told that Adobe needs to be restarted, but you can wait to finish the other changes first. 2. Launch the Edit menu, scroll down to the Accessibility submenu and open it. Scroll down to the Set-up Assistant and press enter. The Set-Up Assistant has five screens, but the only change you have to make is on the last, screen 5 of 5. Go through all the screens, pressing spacebar on Next in each instance, until you reach the fifth and final screen. Here, tab to the check box labeled Display PDF documents in the web browser and make sure it is unchecked. It may be checked by default. Then tab to the Okay button. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws and sound cards
Hi dave yes I have a USb sound card. It is not really a sound card as we know it but sends the music to the stereo. So it is considered a sound card. The reason for the sound switch program is so that I don't have to go to control panel, sounds, and switch to the audio engine when I want to go down stairs and listen to the stereo. And when I am up at the computer I want sound to come out of the audio connexant in case I go to an internet site that has a youtube site and need to listen to it. I hope this sorts out any confusion. -Original Message- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Ferrin Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2013 16:26 To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws and sound cards I'm a bit confused, you have 2 cards and they both have a predefined purpose in life if I understand correctly.

Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws and sound cards
I have several of those sound cards among other toys of that nature around here as well. My guess is that this program you are using actually changes your default sound card on the fly and JAWS just seems to go along for the ride for reasons it only knows. Now for example if you are using win amp and I believe media player has the same feature available you can change the sound card it uses itself. I'm thinking if you were to do that then JAWS would stay right where it is supposed to be without a care in the world so to speak. This is a work around but I am certain it will do what you want. Just start your player of choice, change your output and with win amp at least not sure about media player since it has been so long you might have to close out and then open the program again for it to play using the alternative card.

Re: [Blind-Computing] scanner
These days scanners are quite forgiving and anything on the shelf these days will be windows 7 or 8 compatible. I have an HP on this system that is several years old that was given to me and although it took some work I managed to find a windows 7 driver for it. Now the Epson I got in 2001 will not work with 7 no matter how much sleight of hand I try. Fortunately it is on an XP system so no problem there for now.
