Hi David,

I am afraid the subject was about System Access To Go not about NVDA, which, 
I agree, looks very good.

 Personally I've played around with NVDA a few times and am quite 
 impressed.
 I don't know how fully functional it will end up being as it is only at
 version .05 right now. Still for somebody who needs to access various
 systems that belong to other people every once in a while it gets done 
 what
 I need it to do so far.

 I've been playing with SATOGO for a month or so and have been very 
 favorably
 impressed.  I've actually come across a couple situations where I couldn't
 save settings in an Excel worksheet in JAWS but was able to read the thing
 with SATOGO.  There was a bug for a while where the voice would change 
 back
 to the default unexpectedly, but apparently that's been addressed.

 I think this is a tremendously significant development in terms of 
 providing
 access for visually impaired people to information.  The thing even works
 very well with PDF files, so it'll be a natural for libraries, government
 offices etc. who are required to provide documents in a readable format 
 for
 blind people.

 Hi Miss Cathy,
 Yes, I gave it a go.
 It's not bad,and it's not Jaws or Window Eyes either.
 In most cases, as a portable reader, so to speak, it will get the job 
 done.
 And right now, the price is exactly right! smile HTH, Richard Justice

 If so, what are your impressions/opinions?

[Blind-Computing] Changeing the windows startup sound in windows Vista premium?

2007-07-22 Thread Carliss Smith
Listers,
Shouldn't I be able to change the windows startup sound in vista?Well, it
appears that I can't.
When I went to sounds and to the treeview to select windows start, there
isn't any choice for windows start.  There is a choice for windows exit, but
not for windows start.  
Is this the way it is suppose to be in Vista premium?  I sure hope not!?
I really would like to change the startup sound.
Thanks,
 
Carliss

What you can do is to uncheck play windows startup sound and then change the
windows logon sound to what you want.  This will give you the same affect.

[Blind-Computing] Upgrading Office XP to Office 2003

2007-07-22 Thread Lennie Rinaldi
Hello All,

I am in the process of upgrading office XP to office 2003. I have 
never done this type of upgrade before and I need some advice.

1. I use quite a number of macros with MS Word and Excel. Do anyone 
know where these macros are stored and would they be removed with the 
upgrade of Office 2003?

2. Do I need to save these macros before I do the upgrade?

3. How do you restore these macros and can they be used in office 
2003? I do not wish to recreate them again since some of them are 
complicated to redo.

4. Lastly, I know that I insert the CD in the drive to start the 
upgrade. Are there any cautions or anything that I should be aware of 
while I am installing office 2003? I am assuming that office 2003 
will overwrite office XP. Is this correct?

I sure appreciate any help and comments before I do the upgrade. Many 
thanks in advance.

Lennie

[Blind-Computing] having a problem with yahoo email

2007-07-22 Thread Lisa
Hello everyone,
I have a sighted friend who has a free yahoo email account.  when she opens up 
an email she can't see the body of the message.  She can see everything else, 
but the body of the email message.  She signed into a friends yahoo account 
from her computer, and still can't see the body of the message.  I signed into 
her yahoo account from my computer for her, and I could read the body of the 
message.  Does anyone know what she can try, so that she can see the body of 
the email messages?  Also she checked her AOL email, and she could read the 
email messages in there.  She has a dial up connection if that helps you out.  
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Take care,
Lisa

Re: [Blind-Computing] Problem with Windows Update

2007-07-22 Thread Christopher Hallsworth
Victor, thanks for the help, however I have 2 issues. One, I live in the
UK so don't fancy making long distance calls, so could I send the issue
via e-mail? Two, I have an OEM version of Windows XP. Now I was told
that if I tell them that they may suspect I have an illegal copy, is
this right? If so, then I don't see the point in filing the issue
personally for the above reason. Thanks again, and I look forward to
hearing from you.

 Hi Christopher,
 
 I tried looking for a similar error on Google, and I'm happy, or sad, 
 depending on how you look at it, to say that you are not the only person 
 experiencing this type of error.
 
 Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any fixes on the Microsoft web site
 for 
 you, but that's not to say that the fix doesn't exist.
 
 What I suggest is that you call Microsoft tech support, and get someone
 on 
 the telephone that can help you.
 
 The good news is that updates support is always free, so there's no need
 to 
 pay for a tech support ticket.
 
 It even says that on the web site.
 
 If you need the number, let me know, as I have it stashed away on a
 previous 
 call I made.

[Blind-Computing] MS Reader eBooks - accessible software/workarounds?

2007-07-22 Thread Jacob Kruger
Hi all

Basically there are some eBooks that I want that I seem to only be able to 
get in the MS Reader format, but unfortunately, that piece of software seems 
completely inaccessible so far.

Was just wondering if there was some way to work around this issue by either 
making my Jaws 8 actually work with it, or alternatively, some way  to 
either convert the actual documents into another format, or some other 
software that I can actually use to read these things?

Thanks in advance
