Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing

[Vicky Vaughan]

Hi Miriam, Yes, I have the same problem with Jaws going silent for no known 
reason. I am using Jaws 16 on a 64 byt Win7 computer. It doesn't seem to 
make any difference as to how long it has been since the last reboot or full 
shut-down.


I wish I had something helpful to offer, but, like you, shutting down has 
been the only way I've been able to get Jaws back.


It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this!

Sincerely, Vicky

Even after this latest update, Jaws occasionally and unexpectedly goes
silent when I change from one window to another. Jaws 18, Windows 7 . Office
365, 64 bit computer. None of the key strokes that have been suggested,
appear to work. I go to the desktop and wait. Nothing happens. If I press
the power  button lightly, just before the computer turns off, Jaws starts
to talk. But I can't, at that point, stop the computer from turning off. It
just happened to  me again. Very frustrating! Is this happening to anyone
else? What do you do when it happens?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing

[Miriam Vieni]

I've tried it. It's my understanding that if I then repeat it, Jaws will come 
back. It doesn't. I think I've tried my hot keys for Jaws after doing it, but 
that doesn't work either.

Hi Miriam,  The mysterious and annoying behavior you describe also happens to 
me on occasion.  Likewise, I have the latest JAWS 18 with Windows 7 and a
64 bit system.
Short of rebooting the system, applying the hot key sequence I have assigned to 
JAWS 18 will sometimes return speech but it's all guesswork and when the hot 
key fails to return speech, I am forced to restart the system.  Lastly, it 
seems to happen when tabbing away from an open web site but beyond this 
pattern, I remain puzzled by this annoyance.  Mitch

Hello To All,

 

Since there seemed to be no traffic yesterday, I am going to repost in case
you all can help.

 

When using Google Chrome and downloading some files, I wanted to take a look
at my downloads list to see how things were progressing so hit Control-J.
However, I could not remember how to get back to the web page from the
downloads list.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pinning and unpinning items from the taskbar in W-10.

[Rick Ely]

Jim,
What a great step by step. I have a folder with your lessons. It is so good
to see someone with a clear understanding of Windows. When, in the long ago
and far away, and teaching WindowEyes I told my students that so much of
good use of a screen reader relied on knowing what was possible in the
operating system and having a good group of shortcut keys in your OS between
your ears. I was a GW guy back in the VocalEyes days and then a WE user and
teacher. When WE went away, I dreaded the switch. All that dread has mostly
vanished. Now if I can retrain my head to press the specific JAWS function
keys. I will be in good shape. Motor memory is a wonderful thing until the
task has its key combo altered.

Thanks from lots of us,
Rick

Pinning and unpinning items from the taskbar in W-10.
OK, first of all, What Items are pinned to my Taskbar?
Second of all, What are the order of the pinned items on my Taskbar?
Third of all, Why does the pinned order of items on the Taskbar matter?
Fourth of all, How do I unpin items from the Taskbar?
Fifth of all, How do I pin items to the Taskbar?
**What Items are pinned to my Taskbar?
After pressing Windows key+T, and pressing the Right arrow key, I will hear
the following Items.
Task bar Internet Explorer Button
Word 2016 Button
Notepad - 1 running window button menu
Outlook 2016 Button
Control Panel Button
Windows Defender Security Center Button
iTunes Button
JAWS 18 Button
**What are the order of the pinned items on my Taskbar?
1. Internet Explorer
2. Word 2016
3. Notepad
4. Outlook 2016
5. Control Panel
6. Windows Defender Security Center
7. iTunes
8. JAWS 18
**Why does the pinned order of items on the Taskbar matter?
Because, depending on the order of the pinned items to the Taskbar, this
will determine the shortcut key that will start that program on your
computer.
*For example:
on my computer pressing the windows key followed by a number on the numbers
row, will start the following program or open the item pinned to the
Taskbar.
Pressing Windows key+1, will open Internet Explorer.
Pressing Windows key+2, will open Word 2016.
Pressing Windows key+3, will open an untitled Notepad file.
Pressing Windows key+4, will open Outlook 2016.
Pressing Windows key+5, will open the control panel.
Pressing Windows key+6, will open Windows Defender Security Center.
Pressing Windows key+7, will open iTunes.
Pressing Windows key+8, will always start Jaws 18.
*Tip, if you have more than one of these windows open.
Pressing their windows key+number, will take you to that program.
*For example:
If you are in the Internet Explorer window, and you wish to go back to your
open notepad file, just press Windows key+3, on my computer.
If you wish to start a new notepad file, Press Windows+shift+3, this will
open a blank notepad file.
So as you can see this is a quick and fast way, to start your favorites
programs on your W-10 computer including Jaws.
**How do I unpin items from the Taskbar?
As you are busy customizing your new W-10 computer, you should clear the
pinned items off your Taskbar.
This way you can start from scratch, pinning your pinned items to the
Taskbar in your own order.
*Press Windows key+T, you land on the first item pinned to your Taskbar.
Press the Applications key, up arrow to, unpin from Taskbar, press Enter.
Press Windows key+m or D, go to your desktop.
Press Windows key+T, returns you to the Taskbar, repeat the above directions
until the Taskbar is empty.
Keep repeating these steps, until all the current items are unpinned from
your Taskbar.
**How do I pin items to the Taskbar?
OK, let us start with pinning Jaws to the Taskbar.
Press the Windows key, followed by the down arrow key, you will land in the
All Apps list box.
Press the letter J, you will land on JAWS 18.0 folder, Collapsed.
Press the Enter key to expand Jaws 18.
Highlight Jaws 18.
Press the Applications key, down arrow to, more sub menu, Right arrow to pin
to taskbar, press Enter.
You now have Jaws 18 pinned to the Taskbar.
*Tip, remember if you have more than one version of Jaws installed on your
computer, do the following.
After pressing Windows key, and pressing the down arrow, and pressing the
letter J, you will land on the oldest version of Jaws first.
So just repeat the above steps for pinning all the versions of Jaws to the
Taskbar, that are installed on your computer.
I always use this method for starting Jaws on my computer, instead of the
old way of pressing Control+ALT+J, to start Jaws.
So because Jaws 18 is the eighth item pinned to the Taskbar, pressing
Windows key+8, always starts Jaws 18 on my computer.
*How to find items like Internet explorer or notepad, to pin to my Taskbar?
Press Windows key, followed by the Down arrow,

For using the Windows burning functionality, which is the simplest, you 
first have to paste the files and folder you want to burn into the disk into 
the folder of your CD burner drive, either by copying and pasting or by 
using the Send To sub menu.
When you have placed the files you want to burn, open the drive's folder 
and, in the context menu when there are no selected items, or in the File 
menu/tab, choose the Burn these Files to CD option.
When you choose this option, follow the prompts of the wizard. When you're 
asked to select the file system, choose Mastered if you don't intend to 
continue recording files to the disk as a flash drive, and to use it in any 
device, even non-Windows ones. If you want to use the disk as a flash drive 
until it is full (you will not be able to delete or modify files unless it 
is an re-writable disk), choose the Live file system instead.
Regarding the label, this is the text that will be disdisplayed before or 
after the drive letter (the order depends on the Windows version).

[JAWS-Users] Pinning and unpinning items from the taskbar in W-10.

Pinning and unpinning items from the taskbar in W-10.

8. JAWS 18
**Why does the pinned order of items on the Taskbar matter?
Because, depending on the order of the pinned items to the Taskbar, this will

Hello To All,

 

Since there seemed to be no traffic yesterday, I am going to repost in case
you all can help.

 

When using Google Chrome and downloading some files, I wanted to take a look
at my downloads list to see how things were progressing so hit Control-J.
However, I could not remember how to get back to the web page from the
downloads list.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Judy,

You can close the Downloads window by using CTRL W.  Focus should return to
where it was before you opened Downloads.  You can also hold down CTRL and
use tab key to move between open tabs.  Using CTRL with numbers on the
number row will open specific tabs.  If Downloads opened as the second tab
then using CTRL with 1 will go to the page you were viewing before opening
Downloads.  

Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Accessibility of Tools for Accessing Oracle Databases

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing

[Tom Behler]

Miriam:

If all else fails, and if you aren't comfortable trying the more complicated
suggestions that have been offered here, you might want to call Freedom
Scientific about the issue.

I believe they are aware of the problem, and the more people they hear from
who have experienced the issue, the better that will be, in my opinion.

For reasons that I don't quite understand, I have not experienced this
problem very much any more, after updating to the latest build of Jaws 18,
and after renewing my Office 365 subscription.

This doesn't mean that I won't experience the problem again, though, so I'm
knocking on wood here as I write this.

Here are some instructions for a procedure that often worked to get Jaws up

If Jaws crashes afgter exiting out of a program, Press the JAWS or numpad
insert key+Windows-key+F4.  This closes JAWS completely.  This is much more
effective than JAWS key+F4 without the Windows key.  Note that when you do
this, you likely will have to re-start Jaws again.

When I used to do this, I often got an error report message from Freedom

Hi, Mitch and Miriam.

I can't say I'm plagued by this problem, but periodically JAWS does give up 
the ghost. The keystroke that works almost every time is JAWS key+Windows 
key+F4. It completely unloads JAWS and then restores it. Sometimes I have to 
wait several seconds, but JAWS almost always comes back. Have either of you

I have JAWS 18 now, and it doesn't crash very much. On my old system though, 
runnig XP and jAWS 12 or so, this was a very regular occurrence. Rather than 
rebooting the system, which was sometimes necessary but definitely a last 
resort, my preference was to look for the JAWS process in task manager and kill 
it. Sometimes when JAWS stops speaking, it doesn't mean the process has 
unexpectedly terminated -- it's still sitting there malfunctioning, so your 
hotkey to restart will not work, since the programme is in fact running. In 
those cases you have to kill it manually, then use the hotkey.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Miriam,
I also had the problem of JAWS becoming unresponsive when I closed Word 2016 
and very often when opening Winamp in Windows 10 64-bit.
Usually the keystroke WINDOWS+INSERT+F4 that Tom suggested works. For those 
occasions when this doesn't work and it is difficult to kill JAWS processes 
from Task Manager because JAWS still is controlling the keyboard and 
intercepting scripts assigned to the ENTER and ARROW keys in Default.jss, I 
made a .cmd (you can also use extension .bat) file that, especially when run as 
administrator to act upon Local System account's JAWS-related processes too, 
forces killing of all instances of jfw.exe and all processes starting with FS, 
which are helper processes for features like Convenient OCR, switching JAWS 
control between user and secure desktops and, in 64-bit systems, the Eloquence 
Synthesizer which is not integrated into the Application File for JAWS 
(jfw.exe) process. Once these processes were killed, this file automatically 
restarts JAWS as if you use the Run dialog.
To quickly access this file, I created it a desktop shortcut and assigned an

Re: [JAWS-Users] burnning a CD with jaws

[Fernando Gregoire]

For burning operations just consisting on files copying, burning functionality 
built into Windows Explorer is accessible and enough; since Windows 7 you can 
also burn ISO images to actual media.
When I need some additional features I use UltraISO. Many years ago always 
installed Nero, but unless you need very advanced settings, nowadays there are 
individual programs, even open source, which avoid downloading all the Nero 
suite which include a lot of unnecessary components you have to carefully 
unselect to prevent file associations of common multimedia formats from being 
changed, especially on Windows earlier than 10.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Getting back to the web page from downloads list in Google Chrome.

[Brian Lee]

Hello Judy,

You can close the Downloads window by using CTRL W.  Focus should return to
where it was before you opened Downloads.  You can also hold down CTRL and
use tab key to move between open tabs.  Using CTRL with numbers on the
number row will open specific tabs.  If Downloads opened as the second tab
then using CTRL with 1 will go to the page you were viewing before opening
Downloads.  

Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing

[Adrian Spratt]

Hi, Mitch and Miriam.

I can't say I'm plagued by this problem, but periodically JAWS does give up the 
ghost. The keystroke that works almost every time is JAWS key+Windows key+F4. 
It completely unloads JAWS and then restores it. Sometimes I have to wait 
several seconds, but JAWS almost always comes back. Have either of you tried it?

Mitch, I didn't realize Abe Lincoln was such a Nostradamus!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing

[Tom Behler]

Miriam:

I also had this Jaws crashing problem several months ago with this Windows 7
laptop, but fortunately, have not experienced it very often lately since I
did the latest Jaws update.

Here are some instructions for a procedure that often worked to get Jaws up
and running again without having to do a hard shutdown of the computer:

If Jaws crashes afgter exiting out of a program, Press the JAWS or numpad
insert key+Windows-key+F4.  This closes JAWS completely.  This is much more
effective than JAWS key+F4 without the Windows key.  Note that when you do
this, you likely will have to re-start Jaws again.

When I used to do this, I often got an error report message from Freedom
Scientific, which I always tried to respond to by submitting the report.

Let us know if this helps.

I know how incredibly frustrating this problem is, especially if you are in
the middle of a number of tasks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing

[JM Casey]

I have JAWS 18 now, and it doesn't crash very much. On my old system though, 
runnig XP and jAWS 12 or so, this was a very regular occurrence. Rather than 
rebooting the system, which was sometimes necessary but definitely a last 
resort, my preference was to look for the JAWS process in task manager and kill 
it. Sometimes when JAWS stops speaking, it doesn't mean the process has 
unexpectedly terminated -- it's still sitting there malfunctioning, so your 
hotkey to restart will not work, since the programme is in fact running. In 
those cases you have to kill it manually, then use the hotkey.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Moving between shared calendars in outlook!

[Judy Jones]

I have only done the shared calendar in 2010, and I found the best view to
work in is the week view.  It wasn't perfectly easy to use, though, the Jaws
would bounce around all over the place, but I did manage it.  For personal
use, I use the calendar on my note taker, but if colleagues need to see your
calendar, it is easy enough to post events in yours.  Just make sure you are
in the shared calendars folder and not the archive folder.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws still disappearing

[Miriam Vieni]

Even after this latest update, Jaws occasionally and unexpectedly goes
silent when I change from one window to another. Jaws 18, Windows 7 . Office
365, 64 bit computer. None of the key strokes that have been suggested,
appear to work. I go to the desktop and wait. Nothing happens. If I press
the power  button lightly, just before the computer turns off, Jaws starts
to talk. But I can't, at that point, stop the computer from turning off. It
just happened to  me again. Very frustrating! Is this happening to anyone
else? What do you do when it happens?

[jyandt.martin]

Are these books ones that can be used only on devices such as Kindel 
readers?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Moving between shared calendars in outlook!

Reposting my reply: I use scheduling assistant (Alt+H U from within a new
meeting request) and adjust the meeting start time until all of the invitees
are free. Their availability is shown in the Scheduling Assistant dialogue.

Hi All,

Has anyone got any tips for working within shared calendars in Outlook 2016?
For instance, if you are comparing things like available dates and the like
between yourself and another persons shared calendar, whats a quick way of
moving between both calendars?.
Hope I have this right.

Many thanks,

Paul.

You don't have to be crazy to run a list like this, but it does help.

I have looked at jaws-users.com and cannot find out where to either change 
my email address or unsubscribe then subscribe with new email.

How would I do this?
Thanks,
George
