: Hi Margaret John R. here : that's a problem I used to have trouble with but I'll tell you now : that : alt+n doesn't get rid of the bar the steps are below and there isn't : many of : them. : : when you hear the sound to say that something is being blocked from : you then : you do the following. : press Alt+n : this focuses you on the part of the bar that has it on then : press your Applications key, or right click on it if you can see the : screan. : the applications key is found the key next to the right control key : and the : applications key is one left of the control key if you went right you : would : find the left arrow key then coming left the right control key then : left one : more and this is the applications key this key does the same thing as : clicking the right mouse button on an item and once you've done that : the : menu will pop up and you arrow down to download this file and this : isn't : nothing to be affrade of this just means download that same page : again and : activate any automatic starting of downloads or make available : download : buttons or links again I hope this helps if you need help with the : active x : window tools options and I can walk you through them as well if you : wish : please let me know : : from John and guide dog Iris : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "Margaret Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : To: <[email protected]> : Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 2:54 PM : Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Error Loading IE 6-XP Home : : : Ricque,,, : : I ended up spending more time on this last night and still didn't : have any luck. : : I did find a diagnostic center that was supposed to evaluate the : system as to why the genuine advantage couldn't be validated which : seems to need to happen before the file can be downloaded. One item : failed and I think Active X controls may need to be activated for the : test to be completed. I think Microsoft offered to do this for me, : but I kept running into problems with the information bar. It said to : click on install when the information bar came up, and JAWS said click : to install, but I couldn't find a way of clicking on it. I thought : alt-n got rid of the information bar if the page didn't load properly, : but I couldn't get that to work either. : : I thought I could try to activate X controls before I start from : scratch in hopes of avoiding the information stone wall and I found a : post from '06 from another list that I think tells how to do it, but I : don't know what the default is supposed to be. I thought having them : turned on is dangerous. : : Open Internet Explorer then open the tools menu and from there, the : options dialog. Control tab to advanced. It will take about six : control : tabs to get to this property sheet. Start looking through the options : and : see how things dealing with Active X controls are set. If you want to : do : this the easy way, set everything to the defaults in this dialog : unless : there are specific settings you don't want set to the defaults. : : I had called my tech yesterday afternoon when I panicked when I : got the error message and he hasn't gotten back to me. I'd like to be : able to fix this by myself if possible, but I don't want to get in : more trouble and wonder if I should throw in the towel and give him : another call? : : Thanks, : : Margaret : : : : : "Ricque" wrote: : : : Hi Margaret, : Somewhere during that process, it should mention the windows : validation tool. : I can understand your frustration, so take a break. : You can go back to it later, when you are fresh, you'll get it. : Richard Justice : www.blind-computing.com : ----- Original Message ----- : From: Margaret Thomas : To: [email protected] : Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 10:52 PM : Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Error Loading IE 6-XP Home : : : Hi Ricque, : : I seem to be in a loop trying to download the file. It seems MS : has to certify that my copy of XP and/or Office is genuine before it : will let me download it. It then said something about the genuine : advantage version having expired and I haven't been able to find out : how to get an unexpired one yet. I may have messed up since at least : the first I was asked if I wanted to run "Publisher" I said no since I : didn't understand that it was needed to run the validation process. : The expired thing may mean that I've exceeded my allotted attempts. : I'm hoping I can try again later. : : I could swear that I've downloaded the genuine advantage thing : every time it has come up with updates. The machine is 2 years old : and the copy XP : is legal as far as I know. My tech built the machine and I don't know : if it was already on there or if he installed it.
