Re: [JAWS-Users] programs running in the background
Thanks, that was it. Judy & Libby -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Monday, March 19, 2018 2:59 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] programs running in the background Hi Judy. I'm not sure, but I think that person was possibly me. I suggested that someone might have some unwanted background processes running on their computer rather than a virus or malware that can be detected with a scan. These can slow the machine down by taking up ram and processor time. I realised when I posted the message to the list, that I might have opened a small can o' worms. It used to be relatively easy to do this in, say, Windows XP. But on my Windows 10 machine, there are so many processes running all of the time, that it's very difficult to keep track of them, and what they do. I consider myself a person of intermediate computer experience and nowadays when I look at the task manager I feel a small headache coming on at the prospect of looking up all these unknown processes on the internet. However, as you have Windows 7, things might be a little easier. I suggest opening the utility msconfig. You can do this from the run prompt. >From there, you can go through items that run at startup. You should have a tab called 'startup", which, if you select it, opens a list view where you can select and de-select items. It might help you to look at task manager, too, to see what processes are running and if there is something there that doesn't need to be. Unfortunately, this might involve a good amount of research on the internet to determine the nature of particular programs. So, if you don't have some time on your hands, it can seem a daunting proposition. There are other utilities that can help you as well. Sysinternals suite contains a number of such programs, and is available from the Microsoft site. Most of these programs are not intended for everyday users, but a few of them can still be useful. There is one called autoruns that lets you look in-depth at everything your computer does at startup and lets you remove items. Again though, it's easy to jump the gun and remove something that you don't recognise or doesn't appear to be working, only to find that your computer does, in fact, use it for something. So, be careful. If you want to go further into this off-list, I'd be willing to help some, but I don't have Windows 7, so my own experience wouldn't be the same as yours. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Sent: March 18, 2018 2:08 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] programs running in the background Hi, all, a week or so ago someone asked about their computer running slow and someone sent a post describing how to check to see if there were unnecessary programs running in the background that could be slowing things down.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS / VFO & Getting Updated From Older Versions ToThe Latest
As there are VFO folks on these lists, You wonder if they don't go about reverse engineering this sale to figure out who was the rep that messed up if in fact it was a mistake as it appears to be. I'm sure they've got to have some sort of self-auditing type of system in place in general. That's probably what I would do if for nothing else to figure out who needs a bit more training or to be taken off of sales. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

I suggested that someone might have some unwanted background processes running on their computer rather than a virus or malware that can be detected with a scan. These can slow the machine down by taking up ram and processor time. I realised when I posted the message to the list, that I might have opened a small can o' worms. It used to be relatively easy to do this in, say, Windows XP. But on my Windows 10 machine, there are so many processes running all of the time, that it's very difficult to keep track of them, and what they do. I consider myself a person of intermediate computer experience and nowadays when I look at the task manager I feel a small headache coming on at the prospect of looking up all these unknown processes on the internet. However, as you have Windows 7, things might be a little easier. I suggest opening the utility msconfig. You can do this from the run prompt. >From there, you can go through items that run at startup. You should have a tab called 'startup", which, if you select it, opens a list view where you can select and de-select items. It might help you to look at task manager, too, to see what processes are running and if there is something there that doesn't need to be. Unfortunately, this might involve a good amount of research on the internet to determine the nature of particular programs. So, if you don't have some time on your hands, it can seem a daunting proposition. There are other utilities that can help you as well. Sysinternals suite contains a number of such programs, and is available from the Microsoft site. Most of these programs are not intended for everyday users, but a few of them can still be useful. There is one called autoruns that lets you look in-depth at everything your computer does at startup and lets you remove items. Again though, it's easy to jump the gun and remove something that you don't recognise or doesn't appear to be working, only to find that your computer does, in fact, use it for something. So, be careful. If you want to go further into this off-list, I'd be willing to help some, but I don't have Windows 7, so my own experience wouldn't be the same as yours. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Sent: March 18, 2018 2:08 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] programs running in the background Hi, all, a week or so ago someone asked about their computer running slow and someone sent a post describing how to check to see if there were unnecessary programs running in the background that could be slowing things down. Would that person please repost her information. I swear I thought I kept it, but I must have deleted it. Thanks in advance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] dvd cds

[JAWS-Users] a possible bug
No , but when I was down loading windows updates the other day a security dialogue popped up and said that something was detected I do not remember what it was but it went away a few seconds later and then started to down load three windows updates and every thing worked fine. so I do not know if it got rid of what ever it was or not. I am assuming that it did because every thing seems to work fine. [JAWS-Users] a possible bug Since todays’ update things are not reading properly for me when I arrow up, down or around for some strange reason. I can’t explain it exactly how this thing is acting. Does anybody have this issue with you’re respective systems. David Ferrin Life is what happens after you have already made other plans.

Re: [JAWS-Users] survey monkey or other platform?
I've used Google Forms and Sheets to gather responses, and then exported the data to Microsoft Excel. It is my understanding that over the past year, there have been significant improvements with the accessibility of Google apps. I have not confirmed this. They now offer e-mail support for accessibility. I'm not able to put my hands on that e-mail information right now, but if you can't find it, let the list know. We do use Survey Monkey at work, but I have not been successful with being the creator. I'm not sure if it is user error or lack of accessibility.

I don't know any other websites for creating surveys. Survey monkey is very accessible with voiceover & JAWS when filling out surveys on survey monkey.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS / VFO & Getting Updated From Older Versions ToThe Latest
That’s amazing. Makes me wonder why I bother to pay £125 a year when if I left it a few years I could just pay £200 Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Mike B. Sent: 19 March 2018 04:26 To: Jaws-Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS / VFO & Getting Updated From Older Versions ToThe Latest Hi All, The other day I called VFO / Freedom Scientific to see if they had any new financial plans for people that had gotten way behind because of financial difficulties, & wanted to get upgraded / updated to the latest version. Well, to my surprise what I found out was absolutely fantastic! A friend needed to be updated because he was at Jaws 11 & he needed to be upgraded to be compatible with the Windows 7 system he is moving to from XP. Okay to cut this short, I found out people can be upgraded from Jaws 11 to Jaws2018 for $200.00. The lady I talked to was a Window Eyes transplanted employee & she didn't know how long this financial plan had been in place. So for all you that need to be upgraded but have financial difficulty, don't be afraid to call & inquire about new financial / payment plans! This $200.00 plan is only for the Home versions. Sales Phone#: 1-800-444-4443 Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.
