Re: [JAWS-Users] Screen Resolution Settings

[JM Casey]

Windows 10 is fairly customisable, but I agree there are a lot of arguably 
useless "features"/bells and whiistles, and they just keep adding more. 
Fortunately, you can turn most of them off. In general I like my Windows 10 
Enterprise because there are a lot of neat things you can do with it. I'm also 
rediscovering the command line, and using Powershell to do hings that are just 
less convenient than with the GUI. The JAWS cursor works when I need it, most 
of the time. Sometimes I do have to fiddle around a bit, root JAWS to PC, 
restore/maximize the window, etc, for it to be able to move around or read 
anything. Also, I don't think it will work at all in the new Universal style 
apps. This includes the Windows store. However, I find that I don't really use 
any of them. I know Microsoft is pushing them hard, but desktop applications 
have always worked well for me, and they're still being made, so I don't see 
any reason to migrate. Most of those programs won't even close properly when 
you hit alt-f4, and moving around on my desktop with the touch cursor is slow, 
laggy and generally unpleasant.

Hi Fanus,

I can't say I'm having a problem, mainly because I don't use Windows 10 much at 
all.  It's a secondary computer that I have so I can learn about Windows 10, 
and what I've learned most so far is that I don't like it!  My not liking it is 
probably more do to my lack of familiarity & knowledge of the operating system, 
but at the same time, for me anyways, there's just way too much there.  In the 
case of the Jaws cursor, I don't know if this is a Jaws problem, or the way 
Windows 10 operates that doesn't allow the Jaws cursor to have the same 
functionality as it did in past operating systems.  When the Jaws cursor 
doesn't give me what I want I try the touch cursor, & if that doesn't work I 
try using the screen / window OCR.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hello
I do not contest your solution but I just want to make sure that your problem 
was similar to mine. My problem is specific when I change to the jaws cursor to 
examine the screen then I hear blank, blank etc. instead of getting what 
appears on the screen. It is therefore strange that a punctuation setting will 
rectify this problem. Was your problem also related to using the jaws cursor to 
examine the screen. I may just add that when this happens and I use the jaws 
key plus the letter B then jaws does read the text on the screen but when I 
activate the jaws cursor I can not read anything. I shall try the touch cursor 
when I encounter the problem again because it sounds that in windows10 that may 
solve the problem.

it out blame him. LOL Mr. Ed How to make Jaws stop saying blank:

Try the following:

use it in places like the file properties box in File Explorer, in

The most important thing is not the monitor size, but its ability to display 
the higher resolution images. The higher you set the resolution, the smaller 
the images on the screen will be, and there comes a point at which the text on 
the screen becomes so small it's not readable. On a larger monitor it is 
possible to push the resolution very high indeed, but if that monitor's pixel 
density is not up to par, you won't get the maximum possible resolution before 
the image becomes unreadable. In many cases the monitor will not display 
anything at all, if you tell Windows to use a resolution the monitor cannot 
handle.
In other words, don't expect miracles out of a cheap monitor. When it comes to 
high-definition displays, you definitely get what you pay for.

This example would normally be spoken as "ten twenty-four by seven
sixty-eight" or "ten twenty-four by seven six eight".

The most important thing is not the monitor size, but its ability to
display the higher resolution images. The higher you set the resolution, the
smaller
the images on the screen will be, and there comes a point at which the text
on the screen becomes so small it's not readable. On a larger monitor it is
possible to push the resolution very high indeed, but if that monitor's
pixel density is not up to par, you won't get the maximum possible
resolution before
the image becomes unreadable. In many cases the monitor will not display
anything at all, if you tell Windows to use a resolution the monitor cannot
handle.
In other words, don't expect miracles out of a cheap monitor. When it comes
to high-definition displays, you definitely get what you pay for.

Hi All,

I'm helping someone set-up a Windows 7 32 bit computer, and he'll probably
be using Jaws versions 13, 14, or 15.  At what version did Jaws stop using,
1024 × 768, as the default screen resolution setting?  Thank y'all very
much.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Screen Resolution Settings

[Fanus]

Hello Mike
Thanks for the explanation but my question is then whether the onboard display 
card has an effect. My problem is that irrespective of which screen resolution 
I use most of the time the jaws cursor just says “blank, blank, blank”. So, is 
this caused by the display which is too old or the onboard sound card. I shall 
like to replace which ever to be able to use the jaws cursor properly. I use 
Windows 10 with the latest version of jaws but this was the case with windows 
8.1 as well.  
Regards
Fanus

Hi Justin,

First my non computer lingo crap explanation.  Running Windows 7 & 10 Pro 64 
bit, with Jaws 16 thru J2018:
I will use this particular example with System Restore.  If you go into 
System Restore, there's a checkbox that you need to check in order to see 
more restore points than 1 or 2.  If I have my screen resolution set very 
high, I can't find this checkbox, but if I lower the resolution I can find 
it using the Jaws cursor.  I know my settings are different than others, so 
people please don't start flooding the list with comparisons because we all 
have various experiences that others call hogwash, & I'm not trying to argue 
with anyone, only stating my personal experiences.

Simple explanation from the internet:

It is usually quoted as width × height, with the units in pixels: for 
example, "1024 × 768" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 
pixels.
This example would normally be spoken as "ten twenty-four by seven 
sixty-eight" or "ten twenty-four by seven six eight".

display the higher resolution images. The higher you set the resolution, the

Hi Señor Rick,

Okay, I thought the default screen resolution was still in place for Windows 
7 32 bit for the older versions of Jaws, especially with the older computers 
that don't have the newer video cards.  But, it's not a problem, I'll 
experiment and hope that I'll get somewhat accurate results with Tandem, & 
have the computer owner let me know if they have reading problems.  Thanks 
mooy moocho for your reply.
