If it doesn't say All files are up to date before you copy your shortcut link for this file the person you send the link to will get an error message when they click on the link to try and download the file.

Re: [Blind-Computing] mp3 player
Candy, It works with Windows and the Mac. When you first connect the player to your USB port, the installer for the Coby Media Manager will run. You don't have to use the software if you don't want to. You can simply copy and past using Windows explorer. Also remember to turn off the player once you are done putting files in it and disconnecting it from the USB port. Nice little jazz ditty that comes with it on there. HTH.

Most of the time it works great. However, occasionally there is a delay between what one says and what the other person hears. Then if one is having a long conversation such as I do with my girlfriend, it will eventually take a syllable that she says and keep repeating it to me. On her end there is a clicking noise and it hangs up on her. All though this is annoying I have had relatively good success with the magic jack.

On top of the unit is the earphone jack into which you plug the included earbuds. The front panel has 5 discrete buttons arranged in a vertical column. From top to bottom, the buttons are skip forward, play/pause/power, skip backward, volume up and volume down. Pressing and holding the second button from the top for 5 seconds turns the unit on, and pressing and holding it again for 5 seconds turns it off. That's all there is to it. The bottom of the unit has a USB connector that plugs directly into a USB port, although a separate USB cable is also included. You just plug it into your PC and copy and paste the MP3 files you want to download. Just install the included AAA battery and you're good to go. The sound quality is surprisingly good, at least using a better pair of earbuds than the included ones. There is absolutely no learning curve, and no sighted assistance is required to use it. The included software, which I have not tried yet, is fully JAWS accessible. With 2gb of memory, it can hold up to 1,000 songs. This is probably the best blind accessible MP3 deal ever. It is still available from JR for $10 with free shipping, but they probably won't last much longer at that price. They make wonderful stocking stuffers. The hardest part of using this gizmo is getting it out of the plastic blister pack which requires a heavy duty scissors to cut open. http://www.jr.com/coby/pe/CBY_MP2002G/ Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Most of the forums on the web that I have read have been sceptical about relying on Windows firewall though I understand that the Vista version is supposed to be better than the XP version.

You could try putting this Trojan name into a Google Search to get definite instructions on removal but I can suggest the following. Try . There are normally 2 ways of coping with Trojans . 1. Run Nod 32 in windows safe Mode. Safe Mode is a special kind of windows that can be loaded where startup drivers, including hopefully your Trojan are not loaded. I am not sure how this is done in vista but in XP I think I recall you enter Safe Mode by pressing F8 repeatedly as the computer boots up. Your problem however, is that Jaws will not work in safe Mode as the internal sound driver will not be loaded and there are other special drivers Jaws relies upon. I saw a post recently on an NVDA list saying that you could however run the free NVDA Screen reader in Safe Mode. To do this you need a portable version of NVDA and an external USB headset or external USB Soundcard. Apparently these USB sound cards or headsets will load in Safe Mode. I have not tested this out. It may be easier for you to just get sighted help to run NOD32 in Safe Mode however. 2. The other method I suggest is that you try installing super antispyware. This has a claim that it is able to remove Trojans . What is will do, if it finds the Trojan, is inform you that your system needs to be restarted. Super Antispyware will then try to remove the Trojan as windows starts up before it gets a chance to load. Of the 2 methods I would try to use Nod 32 in Safe Mode first as it has already shown it can detect this Trojan. This gives a high chance that it should be able to definitely find it . Once you are 100% sure that your system is clean I would suggest. 1. Make sure you have a good firewall if you do not have one set up. Personally I would be using ESET Smart Security rather than the stand alone NOD32 anti virus that you have. 2. use a disk image utility to back up your windows installation so you have a simple method of returning to a clean version of windows in future.

On top of the unit is the earphone jack into which you plug the included earbuds. The front panel has 5 discrete buttons arranged in a vertical column. From top to bottom, the buttons are skip forward, play/pause/power, skip backward, volume up and volume down. Pressing and holding the second button from the top for 5 seconds turns the unit on, and pressing and holding it again for 5 seconds turns it off. That's all there is to it. The bottom of the unit has a USB connector that plugs directly into a USB port, although a separate USB cable is also included. You just plug it into your PC and copy and paste the MP3 files you want to download. Just install the included AAA battery and you're good to go. The sound quality is surprisingly good, at least using a better pair of earbuds than the included ones. There is absolutely no learning curve, and no sighted assistance is required to use it. The included software, which I have not tried yet, is fully JAWS accessible. With 2gb of memory, it can hold up to 1,000 songs. This is probably the best blind accessible MP3 deal ever. It is still available from JR for $10 with free shipping, but they probably won't last much longer at that price. They make wonderful stocking stuffers. The hardest part of using this gizmo is getting it out of the plastic blister pack which requires a heavy duty scissors to cut open. http://www.jr.com/coby/pe/CBY_MP2002G/ Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [Blind-Computing] More About Coby MP3 Player
Yeah. I saw the link to the site and yeah not a bad price! If I did buy this player I probably hold on to my other one since it supports Audible.

I did a little research, and discovered that the Coby MP200 is similar in design to the discontinued Creative Zen Stone that caused such a stir in the blind community when it was first introduced a couple of years ago. Like the Zen Stone, the Coby MP200, which is about the size of a pack of chewing gum, has a concentric ring surrounding a Play-Stop/Power button on its front panel. Pressing and holding it for 5 seconds turns the unit on. Pressing the top of the ring increases the volume, and pressing the bottom of the ring decreases the volume. Pressing the right side of the ring skips to the next track, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly forward through the current track. Pressing the left side of the ring skips to the previous track,, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly backward through the current track. That's it. It has no display screen or navigation menus to deal with, just a LED power indicator. Unlike the Zen Stone, the Coby unit has no shuffle play mode, so you can only listen to tracks in the order they were downloaded, which, presumably, can be easily accomplished using simple Copy and Pate command. With 2gb of memory, it has twice the storage capacity of the Zen Stone, and as an added bonus, it can be used as a flash drive for data storage. It plugs directly into a USB port, but also includes a separate USB cable as well as a set of earbuds. It runs on a single replaceable AAA battery (included) which is said to provide up to 8 hours of playing time, rather than a sealed, nonreplaceable rechargeable battery, which, for me, is a big plus. So I went ahead and ordered one from JR. For ten bucks with free shipping, how can you go wrong? http://www.jr.com/coby/pe/CBY_MP2002G/?JRSource=chemail.bfweekend.11142009 Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

In addition, to the fm transmitter, you will need a portable FM radio that you can connect to your soundcard. The transmitter will be connected to your TV, to transmitt the signal, and the radio connected to your computer can recieve that signal, and output the audio to your soundcard, enabling you to hear the audio on your computer speakers. You will need a patch cord to connect the radio to your soundcard. If my omission of this detail caused any confusion, I apologize for that.

I've always paid for all my software, from my OS,utilities, security, and my screen reader etcetera. I don't engage in any piracy. Last week I bought a high-specs Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 and loved all its features but finally had to return it because I was having several issues with Jaws version 11.. I thought it was just the laptop. Any simple change I make with it like updating the OS or drivers would trigger a Jaws video driver error and that terrible thing about Jaws not being authorized. So, wasted some authorization count on that. This week, I received my customized laptop from Dell which is a Studio 16 XPS. Again, I cannot make any change to the system without triggering that error message about Jaws video driver error and Jaws is not activated. But OK, I can work with Jaws tech support to resolve these. I am patient for a solution and so I thought. But while a solution is being work out, I still need to work so I need to have my activation count reset so I can fall back to my old system and reinstall Jaws on to it. I emailed FS explaining the situation and I get an offensive email that I am only being given 1 activation count because there has been a reset request within the past 60 days. This in spite that I have been in communication with a tech support person. I emailed them again explaining that I'm not at fault etcetera but I am being stonewalled despite that I have been respectful all the way in all my communication. Moreover, I checked my activation count and there was 0 not even the promised 1 activation. What am I suppose to do now? I feel so violated. I also need to work. Is there really no redress for things of these sort? I just paid for my SMA and I'm supposed to be good for until version 13. Folks, it is me that is having the trouble this time but it could easily be you next time. So, any thoughts on what I can do?
