[JAWS-Users] Another WinAmp question
I've got a very weird thing going on with JAWS 8.0 and WinAmp 5.24. If I simply open WinAmp from the desktop without selecting a file to be played, it appears that something else is showing through. If I select a file and press ENTER on it, WinAmp comes up but with a whole bunch of stuff also on the page, none of which are links. It appears to be the WinAmp Library, but nowhere can I seem to locate the WinAmp Library settings to see if I can control this behavior. Is there a new version since 5.24 and if so, why isn't WinAmp checking for it as I've told it to? -- Walt Smith - Clearwater, FL [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups JAWS Users List group.

[JAWS-Users] Re: question: deleting desktop items
Hi, Marilyn - Well, Hailley's statement isn't 100% correct. If you have downloaded programs on your desktop, when you press the DEL key, you'll actually delete the entire program, not simply an icon, so you need to be careful. What I do is perhaps a bit more techie, but it's really the only safe way: If something really _is_ a program and not simply an icon, I open the C-drive, open the Documents and Settings folder, open the folder with my account name on it, open the Desktop folder, and move the program files somewhere else. I have a folder called Internet Downloads where I store all of my downloads, but occasionally, something will get placed on the desktop by accident, so I'll move it from C:\Documents and Settings\Walt\Desktop to C:\Internet Downloads. Hope this helps clarify things. By the way, if you do press the DEL key on something on the desktop, it should identify it in the pop-up confirmation message as an icon, a file, or whatever, so you _should_ receive some warning in advance, but I'd be just a little leery trusting this too much. - Original Message - From: Marilyn Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 3:30 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] question: deleting desktop items Hi, everyone: my desktop has about 60 items on it so how do I cut items without having them disappear forever?

[JAWS-Users] Re: a strange issue with the properties dialogue in IE and jaws
Sarah - If the scripts are in your user files folder, you won't lose them. A repair only affects the contents of the shared files folder, never the user files folder. If you're really worried, copy your user files folder to a temporary folder somewhere on your C-drive. However, I don't think you need to repair JAWS. At least, try the following first: 1. Shut down JAWS with INSERT+F4. 2. Press Windows Key+R to open the Run dialog. 3. Type jaws71 /default. The above command should be jaws7 /default if running JAWS 7.0. This will bypass all customization that you've done to JAWS (it uses _only_ the files in the shared files folder) and will start it in the same mode it was in immediately after you installed it. Now, open the IE properties and see if the problem is still present. - Original Message - From: Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 4:28 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: a strange issue with the properties dialogue in IE and jaws Ok. should I repair jaws/ I really don't want to do that as I have spent some time trying to write some scripts and I really don't want to loose them. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups JAWS Users List group.

[JAWS-Users] Re: a strange issue with the properties dialogue in IE and jaws
Just unload JAWS and restart it or reboot your computer. All that using the /default flag does is to load JAWS using only the files in the shared files folder, bypassing anything you've modified. To do the repair, put the 7.0 CD into your hard drive and allow it to autostart and select repair. Like I said, this won't affect your user settings in any way. - Original Message - From: Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 4:43 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: a strange issue with the properties dialogue in IE and jaws K.

Many cookies store preferences and other site-specific information that would have to be reset if all cookies were deleted. The spyware and adware programs know which ones to delete by name, but these other general cleanup programs aren't that intelligent. Just for example, the information about my Google.com preferences (how many hits to display, etc.) is stored in a cookie and it would be stupid to delete it and then have to re-enter the information every time I visit Google.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Reg-Scrub and Scripts
Yes, this is more or less the way it works. RegScrubXP (which I've used for several years) has a serious focus problem and you _do_ need to keep pressing ALT+TAB to move away from, then back to the main program window. The scripts, as far as I've been able to determine, do nothing to overcome this. As to where you placed the scripts, you'd need to put them into the user files folder in every version of JAWS you have installed if you want them available regardless of which version you have loaded. There's no way to have any scripts installed in only one location and have them available to multiple versions of JAWS. - Original Message - From: one foxy lady [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws help jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 9:04 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Reg-Scrub and Scripts I need advice please if I installed the jaws scripts into the correct version of jaws which I put them into 7.10 and am wondering if I should have placed them into jaws 7.0?

I think this is correct, David.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws 8 is saying selected
Scott - If I'm understanding your message; and I don't guarantee that I am; this might be either a corrupted installation or your video drivers. Whenever I hear about a problem like this, my first suggestion is to track down and install the latest set of video drivers. If you find a set that's later than those already on your computer, there's only one way to install them and here are the steps. Don't even begin this process unless you feel confident that you can successfully complete the installation process--get sighted help if you're not 100% certain: 1. To locate drivers, go to the web site for the manufacturer of your video card. If you don't know this, get a copy of Belarc Advisor and run it and it will tell you. You may have to Google the manufacturer's name to locate their web site. 2. Download the latest set of drivers for your model of video card. Chances are that this will be in the form of a .exe file that you run in order to install the drivers. Don't run it yet. 3. Press INSERT+J to open the JAWS dialog. Under Options, select Basics and uncheck the Automatically Start JAWS item. 4. Go to the Start MenuProgramsJAWS whichever version you're running and open the submenu. Arrow down once to Tools, then arrow right and locate the Video Intercept Manager. Press ENTER. 5. When Intercept Manager opens, select Uninstall Video Intercept and press ENTER. When this process completes, JAWS will not be running, so you must turn on Narrator in order to have speech during installation of the new drivers. Press Windows Key+U to turn on Narrator. 6. Now is the time to run the video driver installation program. Follow the prompts as Narrator reads them to you. You will have to be patient when using Narrator, since it doesn't have the capability of reading individual lines, etc., that you'll be used to in JAWS. 7. After running the installation program, you should receive a message indicating that the new drivers have been successfully installed. Shut down and restart your computer and again, start Narrator. 8. Go to the Start MenuPrograms item for the same version of JAWS as in step 4, above, Select Tools and then Video Intercept Manager. This time, choose to install video intercept support. 9. The Video Intercept Manager should give you a message indicating that this action was successful. Now, press INSERT+J to open the JAWS dialog, select OptionsBasics and again check the Automatically Start JAWS item. 10. Now, restart your computer again. JAWS should come up talking. Note: I don't know about other manufacturers, but if your video card is from ATI, you will have to install Microsoft's Dot Net Framework before you can install the drivers. ATI provides a link to the latest version of Dot Net Framework on the same page where you download the drivers. - Original Message - From: Scott Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 11:06 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 8 is saying selected Hi Jaws 8 is saying selected when edit mode and in outexpress arrows don't read words back.

[JAWS-Users] Changing verbosity and punctuation
Hi, Victor - It might also matter where you make the changes. I was already in Outlook Express, so I simply changed the verbosity from Advanced to Intermediate after pressing INSERT+V and when that didn't alter anything, I used the same approach to change the punctuation setting. However, I just now changed the verbosity setting by means of Configuration Manager and the punctuation settings wasn't changed then, either, so my guess is that you may have changed it manually and then forgotten. I was pretty sure that there was no direct connection between verbosity and punctuation; that is, that altering one would affect the other; and this seems to verify it. - Original Message - From: Victor Gouveia [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 10:13 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: we have our first spin off list launching today Hi Walt, I have my eloquence set to intermediate and my punctuation set to some. In point of fact, when I set my verbosity level to intermediate, it automatically set my punctuation to some. I didn't have to do anything with it. I remember that because I realized that I had to change the punctuation just after I did that and it had already been changed. There is a possibility that I changed it before I changed the setting to intermediate, but I don't think so.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Reoccuring Error Message
Okay, that's almost certainly your problem. As I've said before, never, never, never run JAWS Merge. It causes more problems than it saves. What you should do is copy your .jdf files (using CTRL+C) directly from the 7.0 user files folder to the 7.10 user files folder and let it go at that. You can test out how JAWS is working without your merged files by doing the following: 1. Unload JAWS using INSERT+F4. 2. Press Windows Key+R. 3. Type jaws71 /default and press ENTER. Note that in the above, there is no space between jaws and 71, but there is between jaws71 and the forward slash. This should start JAWS with all of its normal defaults in place; that is, it bypasses any files in your user files folder. See if the problem occurs under these circumstances and if it doesn't, erase everything that's in your 7.10 user files folder and start over by copying only the .jdf files from the 7.0 user files folder. - Original Message - From: Donnie Parrett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2007 4:54 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Reoccuring Error Message Hey Walt, I ran the JAWS Merge Utility with 7.0.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Reoccuring Error Message
Well, for one thing, it works okay for many people. The trouble is that while it may work just fine for you, it may break someone else's files and as far as I know, they haven't figured out exactly what specific factors cause the damage. It may be the size of the file; it may be the length of a given line in one of the files; it may be the characters contained in a given line. Personally, I think that everybody who, like Donny, has ever had a problem that they can be absolutely sure is due to the Merge utility should let FS know about it because until they're convinced that there's still a problem, they're not going to put much effort into tracking it down and fixing it. Also, they may need specific files to test with if they can't reproduce breakage in-house with their own files. - Original Message - From: one foxy lady [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 4:43 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Reoccuring Error Message but why does FS still put it in there if it's going do do stuff like this for?

[JAWS-Users] Re: Copying JAWS Files
Donny and anyone else interested in this subject - What follows is not trivial information and should be read completely before starting to manually move customized files from an older to a newer JAWS version. I realize that it's not going to make for the most exciting (and maybe not even the easiest) reading, but it's absolutely essential information and faioling to understand it and follow the instructions may result in major JAWS problems. Let's begin by defining some terms: Shared files - These are the files that are installed whenever you install a new version of JAWS. They are placed into a different folder than are the user files and should _never_ be changed or altered. Similarly, the contents of the shared files folder should never be changed in any way by either adding new (third party) files or by removing files you don't think you'll ever use. Doing either can break the installation or repair routines. User files - These are any files you've changed using Script Manager, Keyboard Manager, Configuration Manager, etc.; as well as any third party files (files not supplied by Freedom Scientific). Any time you install third party files, you must place them into the user files folder. Okay, let's find the two user files folders first: Note: it may be helpful to you as you proceed if you have Windows Explorer configured to announce the full path whenever you change from one folder to another as you'll be doing below. This is set by way of Control PanelFolder Options and is found under the View tab. The specific items are Display the Full Path in the Address Bar and Display the Full Path in the Title Bar. Both of these should be checked or indicated as on. 1. Press Windows Key to get to the Start Menu. 2. Press the letter P to move to the Programs submenu. 3. Press the letter J to move to the version of JAWS you've been using--the one whose files you want to copy. 4. Press RIGHT ARROW twice until you hear Explore My Settings and press ENTER. This will open the user files folder for the source version of JAWS. 5. Now, repeat steps 1 through 4, except that in step 3, you want the version of JAWS you just installed--the version to which you want to copy the files. Next, some general things to be aware of: 1. You should move any third party files of _any_ type (that is, any file extension) that you find in the source folder. Third party files are files that are _not_ part of the set of files that are supplied with the JAWS package. For example, Ad-Aware, Nero, etc.; that is, files that you've downloaded from somewhere else (like JFWlite.com) and installed yourself. 2. You are responsible for making any changes to JAWS-supplied scripts on your own. Even if you used the Merge tool, it doesn't update script files, so if you've changed something in Default.jss, Internet Explorer.jss, Outlook Express.jss, etc., you'll have to make those same changes all over again with the new versions of the same scripts. You should _never_, under any circumstances whatever, copy entire JAWS-supplied script files (files with an extension of .jkm, .jss, .jsb, .jsd, .jsh, or .jsm) from one JAWS version to another. Scripts are unique to each JAWS version and cannot be used across versions. As previously indicated, this may or may not be true for third party script files, but when FS releases a new version of JAWS, the scripts receive as much work and as many changes as any part of the program, particularly those scripts for major applications like Outlook and Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. This same prohibition applies equally to configuration files (files with an extension of .jcf): these should _never_ be copied from an older version of JAWS to a newer one. 3. You must be aware that the names of some files have changed and that because of this, you must rename them if you copy them. For example, in JAWS 7.0, files for Outlook Express were named Outlook Express 5-6.*, but in 7.10, the name was changed to Outlook Express.*. Similarly, the Internet Explorer files names were also changed, but I think this took place between 6.20 and 7.0. In any case, the JAWS Merge tool does _not_ always catch these name changes, so that's yet another good reason not to rely on it. 4. While you can move customized graphics files (with an extension of .jgf) from older versions of JAWS to newer versions, don't do this when the new version is 8.0. Beginning with 8.0, FS began to make some major changes in some applications (Outlook and Outlook Express, for example) in terms of how various characteristics (such as whether or not a message contains an attachment) were recognized and announced and they're not relying on graphics as much as they used to, so older .jgf files may not work as they once did. If you have customized graphics files for JAWS-supplied applications, try re-creating the graphics labels from the beginning if you're working with
[JAWS-Users] Re: Acer notebook utilities with JAWS?
Steve - Welcome to the list. I'd bet a year's salary that you'll not find any existing scripts, since you're talking about a specific model of a specific computer brand with specific versions of these utilities. This is going to limit your options--either learn scripting, yourself, so you can write scripts or pay somebody (and the price won't be cheap) to write them for you. Even then, depending on how these utilities were written, they may not be scriptable, anyway. You can try using the JAWS Cursor and the mouse button simulation keys--I've found this technique to occasionally be useful with such programs for which no scripts exist and which aren't very well behaved with the JAWS default scripts. - Original Message - From: Steve Murgaski [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 2:36 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Acer notebook utilities with JAWS?

[JAWS-Users] Re: What does bullet mean?
Not necessarily an important link, but a link where the text simply includes a bullet. In HTML, you can create two types of standard lists--ordered lists and unordered lists. An ordered list has the items numbered (1. 2. 3. etc.) and is intended to be used whenever there's a process that must be performed in order--do this step first, then do the second, etc. An unordered list is simply any other kind of list and in HTML, these list items are bulleted. What you're seeing is a situation where the HTML author has placed items in an unordered list and one or more of these items are links. You probably should have heard JAWS announce that this was a list before it proceeded to read the individual items. It's unfortunate that HTML doesn't allow for a third type of standard list--a list in which the items are neither numbered nor bulleted--but it doesn't. - Original Message - From: Donnie Parrett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 1:32 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: What does bullet mean?

[JAWS-Users] Re: What does bullet mean?
Which is why I said that it's unfortunate that HTML doesn't have a list format that doesn't use them. As an old author of user documentation, I find it especially objectionable on web pages to not have what we used to call simple lists; that is, lists with no highlighting or emphasis on the individual items. They're merely attention-grabbers for sighted readers and in the spirit of informing the blind user of everything that a sighted reader would see, they're announced. My guess; and it's just that; is that in HTML, there's no easy way to indicate that something is a list as opposed to continuing text, so they're used. - Original Message - From: Bill Gallik [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 11:08 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: What does bullet mean? Okay, we have a good idea of what a bullet is. Now the question is, why are they used. Bullet marks -- or any non-ordering item identifier -- are extremely visual devices to indicate that a new item in a list is following. Identifiers such as numbers or letters might indicate some sense of priority while a bullet simply says here's another list item among equals.

Nothing. You'd see something like the following: Here is a list: List item 1 List item 2 List item 3 Note that the three items are indented in the above example. When I worked at IBM and wrote manuals there, we used a fairly nice document composer that used tags very much like HTML (in fact, this application was the template on which HTML was originally designed). It had three types of lists: ordered, unordered, and simple. - Original Message - From: Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 3:44 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: What does bullet mean?

I've never heard of this program and can just about guarantee you that there are no such scripts. You can search for JAWS scripts by doing a Google search. Enclose the program name inside quotation marks and then also add the two words JAWS and script to the search string. For example, for the program you mention here, use something like: super dvd creator jaws script You need to be sure that you have the program name exactly correct--that is, with any spaces that are either included or not in the program name. - Original Message - From: Vy Pham [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 3:30 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS scripts for super dvd creator Hi, Are there any JAWS scripts for super dvd creator?

[JAWS-Users] Re: What does bullet mean?
Absolutely not and people misuse the definition list all the time. The purpose of the definition list is just that--to provide definitions in a glossary. The tags in the definition list are dd:, which is the data definition tag; and the dl: tag, which is the list item, itself. What you will often see is people using the dl: tag for the item they want shown as a list item and then, leaving the dd: tag empty, but this is _not_ correct use of the definition list tag. - Original Message - From: Roberts, Vern [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 5:07 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: What does bullet mean?

[JAWS-Users] Re: trouble with a tool bar
Sarah -\ Do you mean the Toolbar or the Status Bar? I don't know how you're seeing the number of read and unread messages on the Toolbar. On the assumption that you meant the Status Bar (announced with INSERT+PgDn), I think this is working as designed. If you change it for a mail folder that you've created, that setting is retained, but the Inbox is not controlled by that setting--you have to set it separately and once you do, it _should_ stay set. I just tested this theory and it works on my system. - Original Message - From: Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 5:43 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: trouble with a tool bar I unstalled that spam toolbar.

[JAWS-Users] Re: trouble with a tool bar
Sarah - I suspect very strongly that this is an Outlook Express problem, not a JAWS problem. The issue seems to be that a lot of add-ins that create new Toolbar entries destroy the ability of the setting that controls the ability to see only unread messages, just as we saw with that anti spam application. The only way that I know to verify this would be to have a sighted person stand by while you open Outlook Express without JAWS running and then see if the behavior is the same as it is when JAWS is running. Since JAWS has no way of controlling what is or is not displayed in any application, I can't believe that it can possibly be a JAWS issue at all. -- Walt Smith - Clearwater, FL [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list%40googlegroups.com/ Address to contact the management team: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups JAWS Users List group.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Adobe Reader 8 and JAWS
Just remember that while Adobe Reader does have accessibility _settings_, the screen access technology companies still have to make their individual programs work with it. The problem with using Acrobat Reader 8 with JAWS 6.2 may be that JAWS 6.2 wasn't around at the time of; and, hence, couldn't be tested with; Acrobat Reader 8. This is not true of JAWS 8.0. I get concerned about people who don't keep their screen access systems current because of the cost, yet who insist on installing the very latest versions of some utility or other because it's free. In effect, this is just asking for trouble, since the screen access system simply can't be expected to work with programs that were developed years after it came on the market, nor should it be. The single most important program you have on your computer after the operating system is your version of JAWS and either keep it as current as possible or don't add anything new to your computer and then expect an old version of JAWS to work with the new program. - Original Message - From: Robert S.

While this is more or less a moot point now, since you've removed the game, here's something to remember in the future. You went about silencing JAWS in the wrong way to begin with. What you really _should_ have done was to load the game, then open the Configuration Manager. JAWS would have prompted you by telling you that a new configuration file was being created. The proper thing to do here is to press the OK button. Then, when the file opens, press ALT+S to open the Settings menu and press the letter A to open the Advanced options. The first item on this page is the Sleep Mode Enable check box. Check it by pressing the SPACEBAR. Then, press CTRL+S to save and ALT+F4 to exit the Configuration Manager.

[JAWS-Users] Re: sample note pad script
As I pointed out to David off-list (and, with his encouragement, I repost here), this is actually backwards. While it very well may (quite likely will) work 99.9% of the time, good scripting practice says that you should always place a function ahead of the first place in the .jss file where the function is called. Thus, the order should be: void Function AutoMaximize () var string StatusSymbol SaveCursor () FindGraphic (GetAppMainWindow (GetCurrentWindow ()), maximize symbol, s_top, s_unrestricted) let StatusSymbol=GetWord() If StatusSymbol == Maximize Symbol Then LeftMouseButton () EndIf RestoreCursor () Pause() EndFunction Void Function AutoStartEvent () AutoMaximize () EndFunction Also, it's no longer really required that the ResporeCursor () function be called after a SaveCursor () function or a function that changes the cursor from one type to another is issued. The EndScript now forces this to occur. Including it won't hurt anything, but it's just a line of superfluous code. - Original Message - From: David Ferrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 10:07 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] sample note pad script Void Function AutoStartEvent () AutoMaximize () EndFunction void Function AutoMaximize () var string StatusSymbol SaveCursor () FindGraphic (GetAppMainWindow (GetCurrentWindow ()), maximize symbol, s_top, s_unrestricted) let StatusSymbol=GetWord() If StatusSymbol == Maximize Symbol Then LeftMouseButton () EndIf RestoreCursor () Pause() EndFunction Everything above this line of text if placed in your note pad script file will serve to automatically maximize note pad everytime it is open or gains focus.

Patti - Use My Computer to locate your hard drive. Press ENTER to open Windows Explorer to show all the files and folders.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Desktop button always on the taskbar?
What do you mean by desktop button? I'm not at all clear what you're referring to here. - Original Message - From: Carliss Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 5:55 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Desktop button always on the taskbar? Listers, I would be a happy camper if some one will tell me how to stop a desktop button from always showing up on the taskbar? Some times there's three, four, and more of them buttons on my taskbar!

Not in native Windows. There are programs that purport to read what's on the clipboard, but those that I've checked out have been something less than great.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Sapi 5 Volume
Are you using the voices as shipped by FS and using them with JAWS in the SayAll function or are you using them in some other way? This may make a difference. - Original Message - From: Donnie Parrett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: JAWS-Users jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 3:32 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Sapi 5 Volume I have noticed that the Sapi 5 volume is much louder than Eloquence. Is there some way that the Sapi 5 volume can be turned down a little so it will be about the same as Eloquence? That way I won't have to keep adjusting my volume knob on my speakers.

[JAWS-Users] Re: a Deleting question
If you're saying that all you pressed was the Delete key and you got that message, you either need to reboot your computer or think about getting a new keyboard, since the operating system thinks that the SHIFT key is being pressed and if you're not pressing it deliberately, something else is wrong. - Original Message - From: Susan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 4:21 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: a Deleting question No, I have only tried that with no luck after the delete key didn't work. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list%40googlegroups.com/ Address to contact the management team: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups JAWS Users List group.
