[JM Casey]

If it's just on ancestry.com, which is the only site you mentioned -- it's
got something to do with that site specifically. It could be something like
a profile or account setting. Or else, it's a glitch. I searched google and
came up with someone who had a similar problem; nobody replied to him, it
looks like, so maybe it never got resolved.

[JAWS-Users] why not copy files

[Lenny McHugh]

There was a question asked about why I just did not copy the files. I have 
only one cable readily available. I did not want to use my grandson’s 
computer since he now just has zoom text installed. To get at his cable you 
have to pull out his computer desk and reach behind to try and find the 
cable where it plugs in. If I would have access to the cable that would have 
been my first try. Hind sight being 20/20 I should have pulled out his desk.

[JAWS-Users] convert/format interesting

[Lenny McHugh]

Well I again tried the convert on my win 7 machine. At the top it stated 
that it is fat32 and will be fat32
Using the format with f: /q /fs:ntfs
at the top of the screen it reads fat32 the next line states that it will be 
ntfs
It then asked for a new name. I assume that I have to let it run most of the 
night to complete. Probably 2 days when I do his 2tb drive

Re: [JAWS-Users] Creating a new folder

Hi Linda,

The FN key can be disabled so the the, F1 thru F12 keys, work normally, but 
you'll need to do a search for your exact laptop model for the steps.  From 
what I've read in the past about HP laptops this needs to be done in the 
bios which will require sighted help since Jaws won't work in the bios.

Re: [JAWS-Users] convert ex drive from fat32 to ntfs?

[JM Casey]

Hm, that is supposed to be true going the other way (NTFS to Fat), but it
should be able to. Maybe on this particular drive though, it can't, for
whatever reason.

Nevertheless I hope this works on your own drive that was apparently
converted to fat after you restored!

I have probably close to a terabyte of music on my hard drives, and I try to

data.

However, you can actually convert the drive without reformatting it,
apparently. I say "apparently" because I haven't actually tried it. But
Windows has a command for this. It's called "convert" and you run it from
the command prompt. So open up an administrative command prompt and type
this:
Convert e: /fs:ntfs

Where e: is of course whatever drive letter you end up with.

As I've never done this before, my instinct would still be to copy the files
to a folder on your hd anyway as a backup.

Re: [JAWS-Users] my conversion idea failed

[JM Casey]

Damn. I'm not really surprised it did that. I think an image is supposed to
be a complete replica of the drive, including filesystem. Why didn't you
just do a straight copy of the data using file explorer?

You could try that convert command again? Seems that you're getting the same
result with the format command though. Strange.

See if this page helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Creating a new folder

[Rebecca Lineberger]

I have the latest version of windows 10, 1803.  When you first open your
Documents folder, nothing should be selected.  JAWS should say, not selected
before it says the name of the first folder.  You have several choices as to
how you create a new folder.
1.  Press control-shift-n and JAWS should say new folder.  You're in the
edit box to type the folder's name.  Type it and press enter.
2.  Press the application key and arrow to new, submenu.  Press enter to
open the menu.  You should be on folder.  Press enter and type the new name.
Press enter..  
3.  Press the alt key and tab once.  It should say, properties.  Tab again
and it should say, new folder button.  Press enter.  If you want an even
quicker way,  from Documents, with nothing selected, press alt and the 2 on
the top row of the keyboard. Together, not sequentially.  Smile.  This will
put you in the edit box, ready to type the folder name. 
HTH.

well, it was a good try. That command would not work. I called ms support
and they came to the conclusion that the only way is to reformat the drive
and recover the data from a backup. I used image for windows and it took a
little over 9 hours to backup. It almost did not fit on the laptop hd. there
is now 32gb left.

I have probably close to a terabyte of music on my hard drives, and I try to
back it up semi-regularly, and have never run into problems copying so much
data.

However, you can actually convert the drive without reformatting it,
apparently. I say "apparently" because I haven't actually tried it. But
Windows has a command for this. It's called "convert" and you run it from
the command prompt. So open up an administrative command prompt and type
this:
Convert e: /fs:ntfs

Where e: is of course whatever drive letter you end up with.

As I've never done this before, my instinct would still be to copy the files
to a folder on your hd anyway as a backup.

My grandson has an ex drive without about 200 gb of data stored on a fat32
drive. He needs it to be converted to ntfs. My win 10 laptop has more than
enough hd space. I first thought about trying to copy his ex drive to a new
folder on my lap top. Then reformat his drive and copy everything back. I
also thought about trying to use image for windows to back up his ex drive
and then restore it to the reformatted unit. I am not sure if a simple copy
of what will be the d drive to the new folder would be the best. With that
much data could it get clobbered?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Creating a new folder

[Mike B.]

Hi Linda,

Try the following:
1.  Make sure nothing is selected by pressing, control + spacebar, this is 
very important.
2.  Open your context menu by pressing the applications / context menu key 
or shift + F10 arrow down to, New, and press enter.
3.  Choose folder from there and press enter.  Type the foldername and then 
press enter again.
You should now have your new folder.
Take Care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

give this a whirl;

1, alt+f=file,

2, t=options,

3, down arrow to mail,

4, alt+n=compose messagess,/signatures,

now depending on how many signatures you have, you then press alt+t=edit
signature, note, after you,
alt+f, t=options,
m=mail, alt+n=signature, press enter, you should be placed into a signature
body, if you tab once you should see ok button.

oops, you may not see nothing if you deleted the signature.

At work, I am running Windows 7, Jaws 2018 and Outlook 2013.

 

I want to edit my signature,  I go to the file sub menu, options, mail,
choose the signature I want to edit and then I am stuck.  I can't get to the
signature.  Jaws says edit this and that, but I never get to the signature.
I am ready to take a jump off the Fort Henry bridge!

 

And now I have removed my signature all together!

 

Have a great day,

Hi listers,



I am glad to be back on the list. Life here is quite busy and I had to take
a break. I do need some help.



I have QuickBooks and I am having trouble with it. If someone can help me,
please feel free to contact me off list at: lya...@frontier.com

I am using Windows 10 and Office 365. the other thing I am trying to do,
which used to be easy, is create a new folder in Word. I have read the help
topics and just can't get the answer I need. It talks about "sliding your
finger to folder". If someone can help, I would appreciate it.
