On June 9, my computer was completely destroyed vy a viscious worm which entered it when I attempted to watch a video of Glenn Greenwald interviewing Edward Snowden. Everything was so damaged that Carlos H, who is the sighted person who cares for my computer, had to completely wipe clean the hard drive and re-install everything, including Windows 7. I am now attempting, with great difficulty, to get things to work so I can do the really minimal things that an old lady like me, does with the computer. I have Windows 7, Jaws 13, and I E 9. I now have Office 2007 which means a whole other bunch of questions but first:
I have a few initial questions that someone may be able to comment on. I must add, that I use Magic, at an extremely high magnification, 21, to supplement Jaws. Many of my emails and the Library at Audible.com, look different than they did, and some are difficult or impossible to access. One example is, I get news updates from the New York Times. The format usually is a headline, a short summary, and then a link. It is now saying it is in a table and I can't read it, not even if I go into table mode. This has occurred with several emails which usually consist of headlines, followed by summaries and then links. In one of these emails, Reader Supported news, Jaws keeps repeating the same thing over and over again and won't read line by line of the content with insert 2. It will read if I move word by word with control arrow. Another problem, I tried to download the Humanware Companion Software which I had before. I found the link, pressed enter on it, and nothing happened. Is there something that I should ask Carlos to fix that relates to how things are displayed? Can anyone suggest why the companion software might not be downloading? Miriam For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
