[Blind-Computing] AVG 9
I think finally that pest pop up called web browser in AVG 9 has finally gone. I am almost afraid to mention it, for fear it will return, lol. I'm not sure if it was the 8 window's updates that did the trick, or enabling some of the IE/6 add-on in tools/options, or maybe it might have been that I added certain web sites and one application, Open Book to exclude in it's scanning/tracking that caused this to stop popping up. But for a whole week now, I've not been bothered with it. I do have a few items in the AVG components list disabled, but don't really think that had much to do with this, as before, when they were disabled, the dern pop up still reared it's ugly head. I know it had nothing to do with Jaws 11 since I have only jaws 10 on my computer. Patricia For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Hmmm, that makes me to wonder if AVG had some kind of glitch and maybe through it's updates, it worked it away. Did you put any web sites by any chance in the exclusion lists?

Re: [Blind-Computing] downloading question
First thing you have to sign up with your local NLS I think so you can get onto the site to download the digital books. Your gismo I've not heard of, but must work like the Victor? Just plug the cable into a USB port on your computer and then to the device or a flash card, and then you go to the site find the book/magazine ya want, and if you've ever downloaded anything, it works the same way, only you have to choose the drive this player is listed once you know so it goes to it instead to your computer. So you might check in my computer once it's plugged in and see what drive it is. Like for the external hard drive I have, it's drive J. So when the download thingy pops up asking you where to save your book to, you either arrow to that drive or if your lucky it might be there by default, but it's best to make sure so you know where it went to so ya can find it, smiles.

Thanks for the info and good description. Patricia - Original Message - From: Gerald Levy bwaylimi...@verizon.net To: blind-computing blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 6:38 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Wow! $10 MP3 Player Really Is Accessible I just received my Coby MP200 MP3 player from JR, and it is truly simple and totally blind accessible. 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/

The Sansa E280 V2 is a great portable media player by itself, but when Rockbox is installed on it, it makes it fantastic! The menus, folders, and filenames are spoken, which makes this player as accessible as any player out there. Using theVoiceBox utility, you can set it up to use your choice of SAPI voices that are available on your own computer to voice the folder and file names; however, itwill come completely set up and speaking when you purchase it from us. Rockbox allows the Sansa E280 V2 to use microSD and microSDHC cards presently up to 16 GB, not just limited to themicroSD cards useable with the Sansa firmware. By adding a microSDHC 16 GB memory card, you can expand your player from 8 GB up to a whopping total of 24 GB atonce! (Once manufacturers have come out with their 32 GB microSDHC card, you should be able to get a total of 40 GB!!) Of course, you can have an inexhaustablesupply of microSDHC memory cards as well, making your storage capacity virtually unlimited! Rockbox also adds much more functionality and allows you to play many different file formats such as OGG Vorbis, FLAC,AAC, AIFF, and many others aside from the usual MP3, WMA, WAV, etc. It won't however, play DRM-protected files. It provides much better control over the options for the player and is an improvement over the original Sansa firmware. You getexcellent book marking capabilities, keeping track of up to 10 files at one time. You can also move back to an earlier bookmark if you so desire. You can use your player to find out the time and date in 12 hour or 24 hour format and has a sleep timer as well! It gives you more control over the sound of your player by using the build in graphic equalizer, stereo width, and other soundsettings. The player has a built-in FM stereo receiver with plenty of presets so you can save your favorite stations and access theminstantly. When you plug this player into your computer, it comes up just like a regular flash drive and you can copy and paste yourfiles onto it very easily.

Re: [Blind-Computing] .WAB file to text
Hmmm, I was hoping to give you a chance to read your newly created file here in Excel that you just made, since you said you would try to find another format to save it to than Excel. Also, you can press the jaws key and H while in Excel to hear a variety of other jaws key functionality for Excel. A tip on this key combo is, it also gives other jaws keys to use for other applications, it's not just for Excel. Good luck with your project...

[Blind-Computing] AVG 9 Web Shield
I found this info on the AVG web site and thought to share it with anyone using AVG 9 and has encountered this annoying web pop up box and how to disable it. AVG Web Shield is a type of a real-time resident protection. It consists of two features - Web protection and Instant Messaging protection. Web protection scans the downloaded files even before these are downloaded to your computer. This is done by scanning communication on ports TCP 80, 3128 and 8080 by default. Instant Messaging protection verifies the files sending via instant messaging are virus free. Currently AVG supports the ICQ, MSN and Yahoo! protocols. How can I change settings of Web Shield component or disable it? You can change settings of Web Shield component following way: a.. Please open AVG User Interface. b.. Double-click on the Web Shield component. 1. Web protection Following settings may be changed on the Web tab: a.. Check archives - Does Web Shield check the archive files (e.g. ZIP)? b.. Report Potentially Unwanted Programs and Spyware threats - Does Web Shield detect the Potentially Unwanted Programs and Spyware infection? c.. Use heuristic analysis - Does Web Shield use the heuristic analysis? d.. What is the maximal size of the file that will be checked by Web Shield? 2. Instant Messaging protection You can select what Instant Messaging application, that are supported, will be protected by Web Shield component: a.. ICQ b.. MSN c.. Yahoo In case you want to disable Web Shield component, please proceed as follows: a.. Open AVG User Interface. b.. Double-click on the Web Shield component. c..

Re: [Blind-Computing] MAINTAINING THE ORDER OF MULTIPLE FILES ON ADISK
Yes that works good for even in Excel spreadsheets especially if you need to save the sheets in order of calendar month.

You have a CD you are creating and you want to keep the files in order. In my case, they were chapters in a book I had written. I tried everything but for some odd reason, the files would be loaded in some kind of random order. I tried labeling them with numbers having multiple digits such as: chapter 001.mp3 No, that didn't work and Chapter 17 ended up right after Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 ended somewhere in the pack. Then I remembered the way that Freedom Scientific labels their files on a training disk. The numbers have to be first and they must be absolutely precise. That's the only way. here's an example of how I finally labeled those chapters and they stayed in the correct order. 1.1 CHAPTER 1.MP3 1.2 CHAPTER 2.MP3 1.3 CHAPTER 3.MP3 Apparently, when you use the List command available from the View menu, the files appear in order but they don't stay that way unless the decimal system is used. if you have several books on the same disk, either divide them into folders or use a progressive system. My book has four parts so I used 1.xx for the first section, 2.xx for the next and so on. For some brainyacs like Rick and David, this may be second nature. But for someone like me who is more of a writer than a computer person, I was so relieved when my method finally succeeded. My thanks to the people at Freedom Scientific for giving me the idea. it was David who introduced me to the View menu and told me how to list files in any folder. While in the folder but without an open file, press Alt V for the View menu. Then, to arrange the files in a list, press the L key and the list will be displayed.

I upgraded to Windows XP Pro because my hard drive got corrupted somehow. My friend, who works on my computer, did a reinstall and that is when I upgraded to Win XP Pro. My scanner worked fine and I could still use Kurzweil. Though, when my friend did a reinstall he did not put the Epson Smart Panel in or anything else that was on the original disk.

The other day my boyfriend wanted me to scan a picture for him and that is when we noticed that the picture wasn't coming up like it use to.

I open Kurzweil and tried to scan several things that I have scanned in the past (like a test to see if it would work) and Kurzweil does not recognize that there are any pages. I'm not sure of what to do. I tried calling my friend a couple of times but he hasn't gotten back to me. Is there anything I could do or try?

Each night I copy my JAWS scripts directories to my Documents folder, copy a folder of downloads and archives, my Documents folder, and my mail directories to another computer in our house. Of course, you could also backup to an external hard drive or an on-line storage service. On-line storage services are a great idea for dependable storage that is off site in case off a fire or a natural disaster. It might be a good idea to keep of your valuable data for safety, even if you make a local copy. This storage is normally encrypted automatically. Many services are free for a limited amount of storage and a monthly fee for more or unlimited storage. Making a complete image copy of the entire hard disk can make recovering from a hard disk disaster much easier. You should make an image of a baseline system. This ideally would be at a time when your computer has all of your desired programs installed and the system is stable. With a program like Image for Windows, recovery can take less than an hour. That includes all programs and settings back exactly as they were at the time the baseline was taken!

You should only need to make a full image backup when their have been significant changes made to the system. I anticipate doing this about twice a year. If you like to experiment with new software, it would be a great idea to make a baseline before installing the new experimental software. Then you don't have to worry too much about destroying your configuration, since it easily can be rolled back in less than an hour. Some software like from GiveAwayOfTheDay or in my case my daughter's installation of Spore can not just simply be installed again. An image restore eliminates these issues.

There is no longer any good reasons not to backup anymore with external drives being so cheap. It is fairly easy to find a 1 Terabyte external hard disk for less than $100. Normally, creating the image is easy. Traditionally, the recovery process can be troublesome for a blind person. The recovery from the backup image files, like an external hard disk, to your internal hard drive requires booting from another source, like DOS from a CD. Most of the time there is no speech available for this process. Dave has a very good tutorial for using Image for Windows for making there image and performing the recovery process on the website.

This brought up the Windows Live messenger.jss script file. I pressed control+S to save and compile the script, and I then received a message from Jaws that compile was complete, and then it reported the name of the window again. At that point, I pressed the keystroke of control+shift+D to open up the default script file, and jaws reported that the name of the window was default.jss, followed by the word edit. At this point, I pressed control+S to save and compile and I was faced with that error. The dinky part is that I wasn't doing anything, or making any modifications to the script files, save for re-compiling them. What prompted me to do this was I received a message from a friend, and when I went to read the message they had sent me via Windows Live, Jaws kept reporting that it wasn't in any open chat window, every time I pressed any of the numbers on the number row, in combination with the alt key. I also wasn't able to hear the typing sound I was clearly able to do before that, and the typing notification from Jaws that I could get before. At this point, I assumed that the script file had gotten corrupted or something, and I did what I've always been advised to do, that being re-compile the scripts, as a fail safe. Well, this time, it didn't work, and I received the error on the compiling of the default file. Hope this better helps you understand my predicament.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Ad-aware updates
Hi Lenny, I must have had a wrong link as this did the trick... Thanks very much, Patricia - Original Message - From: Lennie Rinaldi merlin...@mchsi.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 10:56 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Ad-aware updates Patricia, Below is the direct download for ad-aware def.zip. http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip I ran this with the latest definition update which was 03/10/09 the other day. However, for some reason, the download takes too much time whereas a few months ago, the download was quick as usual. Based on the date of the definition, I am assuming that Lavasoft is still providing the latest definition for manual updates. Lennie At 05:27 PM 3/16/2009, you wrote: Thank you kindly. Yes I knew to download the adaware defs manually but the site wasn't available. I did notice scripts for the spy bot on David's site. - Original Message - From: David Whitehead d.h.whiteh...@sympatico.ca To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 4:21 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Winamp Problem Hi Patricia; if your wanting to use add-aware, you'll need to update the program manually. although, I'm not even sure if, there's updates available for, ad-aware 1.6 or what ever it is. you can download, super anti spyware from; www.superantisoftware.com this program does not require any scripts, it runs fine right out of the box. there's a paid and, free versions. you can also download, spybot. I believe there is scripts for that program. - Original Message - From: Patricia Dunbar patricia-dun...@sbcglobal.net To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Winamp Problem Victor, I had that old program Adaware on here and the jaws scripts in place as well. But trying to update the ref defs the page cannot be found is what's going on so can't update that to run the program. Did they take it down or do you know? - Original Message - From: Victor victor.gouv...@rogers.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Winamp Problem Hi Patricia, This error means that you have to run a registry cleaner on your system, as well as running some spyware scans on it. Once you do this, the error should go away. I've gotten this error a few times, and once I did a Google search for the error, that is what was suggested. It did work, so try that and let us know.
