Have you tried www.aimexpress.com? This is the web based version of AIM.
I do not know if it is screen reader accessible, but might be worth a
try.

Hello everyone,
I am supposed to start training for an on-line job on Monday. The
company
uses AIM Pro for communications. I can't figure it all out. I've looked
on the page and I can't even figure out how to send and receive im's.
Please help! I really need to get this going before Monday.
Are there any scripts available and are there any tutorials out there I
can get?
Thanks for any help at all, I'm desperate.

Nope it isn't. We used to use it back in 2005. It was $15 to purchase back
then.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Question about Weather aloud
I just installed Weather aloud on a second computer and as it did when I
installed it on the first computer, it never gave me a place to put in a
zip
code for my city. I've checked through the menus and can't find a place
to
put in my zip code.
Can anyone help me with this? I don't want any of the cities listed.

JAWS 10 has a sound cards utility. This can be found as a submenu in the
utilities menu. Simply select your headset and from now on JAWS speech
will
come through the headset, even if your onboard one isn't working. Hope
this
helps.

Hello all,
My Acer Aspire 5720 running Windows 7 RC has a built in microphone. It
sounded really great with the Microsoft High Definition Audio driver. But
now I've installed the Realtek High Definition Audio driver, it sounds
really crackled! I've adjusted every single microphone volume I can think
of, and even at its lowest setting I still sound crackled! Any ideas
please?
Because the sound on here is now improved.
Thanks!

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Configuring Super Anti-Spyware Tutorial with
Jaws
Hi Folks,
I wrote the below tutorial for another list, so thought I would offer it
up
here for those who would like to know how to configure Super Anti-Spyware
and how to make the options/preferences dialog box accessible.
***Begin original Message***
Hi All,
Here is the version of Super Anti-Spyware that is free and usable, and it
won't disable after a few days.
You will have to follow the below steps in order to configure Super
Anti-Spyware correct to scan your system completely.
First, the link:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/tyccgd
And now the instructions:
Once the program is installed, shut it down, if it has started up with
alt+F4.
Once it's no longer within an open window, it should be sitting in your
system tray, so do what ever you need to do to access your system tray.
In most cases, for Jaws users, the keystroke of insert+F11 will bring up
the
list of system tray programs.
I don't know if there's a similar keystroke for Window Eyes, or system
Access To Go, but what ever you need to do to get to the system tray, do
it.
Once you're within the programs on the system tray, arrow to the Super
Anti-Spyware icon, then right click on it, or, if available, press your
applications key, which is the first key to the left of the right control
key.
If you have the list of programs up in the window after using the Jaws
command listed above, arrow down to the Super Anti-Spyware icon, then tab
once to the right single click button, and press the spacebar.
At this point, after performing the above steps, a menu will pop up, so
arrow down once to the option that says, "View Control Center
Preferences/Options..." and press enter.
This is the only way to make the preferences dialog box accessible with
Jaws.
I'm not sure if the accessibility issue exists with the other screen
readers, but if it does, this is the way to get around it.
Once the preferences dialog box opens up, you'll find yourself landed on
the
general and start up tab, which is where you want to be, and where you
will
be making some of the changes.
In the general and start up tab, Start Super anti-spyware when windows
starts should be unchecked, show splash screen on start up should also be
unchecked.
Use Windows XP Style menus should be checked, as well as show super
anti-spyware in the system tray . Make sure that do not scan when super
anti-spyware starts up is checked, as you will be there forever waiting
for
your computer to start up if it performs a scan right off the bat. Grins.
You should also make sure the checkbox directly after the one I just
mentioned is checked, where it says check for updates before scanning on
start up. The only other items in this tab are the reset options, which
will reset the checkboxes you've just changed back to their defaults, and
a
combo box where you specify the language you want Super Anti-Spyware to
use
on it's interface.
So, once this tab is done, tab around until you hear your screen reader
read
out general and start up tab, then press to the right and arrow once to
the
scanning control tab.
If you tab through that scanning control tab, you will arrive at a series
of
checkboxes.
There are some boxes that are checked and unchecked by default, and
therein
lies the problem, as some of the checkboxes that need to be checked
aren't,
and the ones that don't need to be checked are, so I have listed the check
boxes below, in two forms, the ones that do not need to be checked, as
those
appear first in the dialog box as you tab through it, followed by the ones
that do need to be checked, again, as they appear in the tab order.
So, the checkboxes that don't need to be checked are as follows:
Ignore files larger than 4MB
Ignore non-executable files (recommended)
Ignore System Restore/Volume Information on ME/XP
Scan only known file types (.exe, .com, .dll, etc.)
Close browsers before scanning
The last option to close browsers before scanning is an optional one, and
you can have that one checked or not, but be aware that if you check that
box, you will not be able to use any browsers on your computer, and this
includes internet explorer, and windows explorer browsers, as well as
Firefox, or Netscape browsers, lest you think these browsers are exempt.
That's not to say that you won't be able to use them throughout the scan,
this only means that once the scan starts, all your browsers will close,
and
you will lose any non-saved work, or browsing sessions you may have had
active.
I should also note that there is a caveat to leaving this check box
unchecked, that being that if you have a browser open, any temporary
files,
or cookies that the browser may be using at that time will not be deleted,
as you will get a Windows error telling you that the file cannot be
removed
because it is still being used by you or another person on the network.
Suffice it to say, if you want to do a proper clean up of your system, it
is
best to leave the scan alone, as well as your computer while it's being
scanned, and leave that box checked, but again, if you've got important
work
that needs to be done while the computer is being scanned, leave that box
unchecked, then, once the program goes to remove any threats, simply save
and close your work at that time, then follow through with your removal.
Now, The following checkboxes should be checked:
Scan for tracking cookies
resolve/shortcuts during scan
Terminate memory threats before quarantining
Scan alternate data streams
Use kernel direct file access (recommended)
Use kernel direct registry access (recommended)
Display scan option in Explorer context (right-click) menu
User direct disk access
Now, during the tab order, you may have noticed two buttons. The first
one
was manage allowed items..., and the second one was managed excluded
folders... These buttons take you to another dialog box where you can
specify any files/items in the registry, folders or drives you don't wish
the program to mark as a threat.
Some examples of these may be cracks, key generators, registry hacks done,
either by you or someone else on your behalf, or a software folder, or
drive
with nothing but software and cracks. You would list them in these dialog
boxes, and I will detail how to do that in a later post.
There are other tabs in this dialog box, but as most of those tabs will
only
be available if you purchase the paid version, I am not going to mention
those here.
The only other tabs you will have access to are the hijack protection tab,
where you can specify the homepage you want Super anti-spyware to keep,
however, if you're not starting super anti-spyware when the computer
starts,
you do not need to have this tab enabled.
In any case, once you install the program, it will ask you to specify
which
homepage you would like super anti-spyware to keep as your homepage, so
this
tab will automatically be configured, and any other checkboxes in this tab
are set by default, and changing them is not advisable.
The other tabs in this dialog box, in the order you arrow through them,
are,
statistics and log tab, which allows you to view any statistical and
program
logs, the repairs tab, which allows you to make repairs on crucial
computer
components, however, I do believe that this utility is only available in
the
paid version, but don't quote me on that, the updates tab, where you can
configure when super anti-spyware reminds you to check for updates, but
don't expect to have the program automatically update itself, as that is
only available in the paid version, and finally the help tab, where you
can
view the help files, register the program, purchase the full version,
contact customer support, and to create a diagnostic report, if requested
to
do so by customer service, or if you just want to monkey around with the
program and see what kind of stuff you can do with it.
Once you've finished configuring the preferences and control options, tab
to
the close button, and press the spacebar on it.
You're finished, and you can now select to have the program do a complete
scan of your system when you open up the program.
Hope this helps, and if you have any questions related to this tutorial,
drop me a line at:
[email protected]
Happy scanning.
Victor
