Bravo Tim. Good find. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Ford via Jfw Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 10:55 PM To: [email protected]; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Windows Media Player, accidentally muting it.
Hi All, I suddenly found that Windows Media Player would not play, which is fairly basic of course. It would launch, but no music would play. At this point I knew I was just guessing, so I decided to do an uninstall and reinstall, but ran into a problem where the first step, running a special removal tool built into Windows, resulted in a “file not found” error message. I then decided to call the Microsoft accessibility folks, and the tech remoted in to my computer, and figured it out quickly. The cause was that I had unintentionally pressed the f7 key, which for Windows Media Player, is the mute key. What I am sure happened is that I had thought my JAWS focus was on Internet Explorer, but it was instead on Windows Media Player. When I pressed the JAWS key and f7 to get the links list, my computer ignored the JAWS key and instead executed just the f7 command. I thought I would pass this along since I can see others running into this or similar problems, and as I found out, pressing f7 in the wrong place can be a problem!
