Go to www.gmail.com 2. Click enter on the link: Create an account 3. On the next page fill out the form with appropriate details requested Edit boxes by typing the fields, Check boxes by space barring on them, list boxes and combo boxes, you know how they need to be done 4. There will be a challentge in filling the username field, if the username already exists it will tell you that it does, and give you combinations of usernames you may want to choose - use the up and down arrow keys to toggle the options, enter to select, if they are not what you wish you need to type in a new one again in the text box, check again if the username is not already taken. 5.

[Blind-Computing] IE9,
good morning everyone. in the past few days, my wife's computer takes forever to load internet pages. I have done a system restore, uninstalled IE9 and did a reinstall, I tried the microsoft fixit tool still no luck. I even went as far as resetting the netgear router. I should add, after uninstalling IE9, IE8 was available, however, yield the same result, very slow to load internet pages. for example, if I try to load her homepage, google.com it takes at least 5 minutes. does anyone have any thoughts regarding this issue? everything else on her computer works fine. by the way, all of our computers are on a network, her's is the only one which can't load the internet without waiting forever. hopefully someone will have a few suggestions short of doing a reload of windows.

[Blind-Computing] Can Embedding files into messages be done in Outlook?
Dear Friends, I am constantly using Outlook Express to embed sound files (.wav or .mp3) into some of my messages I send to friends. It is simple to do with Outlook Express. That means, the sound starts to play as soon as the message is opened. Sighted People embed pictures into their files so the picture shows as a background for their message. Recently some friends told me they want to do this also but are using Outlook. I have never been able to figure out how to do embedding files with Outlook. Can Embedding be done using Outlook?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Creating a Gmail Account (Was this discussed before?)
Is there anyone who can understand the Google audio CAPTCHA? Honestly, we spent forever trying to hear it one afternoon, never got it write and no one seemed to be answering the phone the one time we tried. I don't play phone tag well. Partial hearing loss in the ear most of you use on the phone, can't seem to hold it on the opposite shoulder while I am typing so calling is my absolute last resort and usually I just forget what it was I may have been trying to do rather than call. I hate CAPTCHA! Google's in my opinion is one of the worst I have heard and my husband said he can't read it either. I would not use Google at all any longer, if I were not required to do so at work.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Can Embedding files into messages be done inOutlook?
Exactly what do you mean by embedding files in the first place? If you mean inserting a file or files as attachments, certainly! You need to use the Insert menu. If you mean to have the contents of a file appear inline with the remainder message, I suppose it depends on the type of file being the source. I thought Outlook (not Outlook Express) provided an option to use MS-Word as the tool of composition; in that case any file you can embed into a Word document would likewise be the same for Outlook. You could always alter your composition tool to Outlook just for any messages you want to do this with, then set it back as it had been previously.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Can Embedding files into messages be doneinOutlook?
Mr. Holland, In Outlook Express you can imbed a sound file into an email. What that will do is for instance, let's say it's your birthday I want to send you an email for your birthday. Well, I can imbed a birthday song into the email if your email client allows this, the birthday song will play when you open the email to read it. This isn't an attachment but imbedded. But, this will only work if you are reading your email in HTMl. If you take 1 of these emails with an imbedded sound reading it in HTML change the setting to read in plain text, this imbedded sound will not play but, the imbedded sound in the HTMl email now becomes an attachment in the plain text email. I don't know what other email clients the imbedded sound feature will work in but, it sure is a cool feature of Outlook Express If I have in any way screwed up the explanation of how imbedded sounds work, someone please straighten me my explanation out!.

Re: [Blind-Computing] IE9,
Hi Rose, You are absolutely correct, it is no laughing matter! CCleaner is very difficult to navigate when checking or unchecking your options in the tree view of what you would like to have cleaned or not cleaned. I spent several hours 1 day trying to label the graphics to see if that would help , it did not! I have contacted CCleaner many times to complain about its lack of accessibility for people using Jaws. I know you can navigate the tree view options using the Jaws cursor but, that can be very tedious time consuming. It is an excellent program I use it regularly but, the initial set-up can be frustrating but, once it is set-up the way you want it, you never have to do it again even after updating, at least I haven't had to make any changes after an update.

Re: [Blind-Computing] FREE VERSION Of PowerPoint
Hello Mike, Your email has triggered out some research work for me to do this Sunday here in India. Yesterday, I discovered this open source website that has similar products as Microsoft Office, need to try them out in terms of accessibility. It is called Apache Open Office. I am not sure that time will permit me to complete my research in a day on these products.

Is there anyone who can understand the Google audio CAPTCHA? Honestly, we spent forever trying to hear it one afternoon, never got it write and no one seemed to be answering the phone the one time we tried. I don't play phone tag well. Partial hearing loss in the ear most of you use on the phone, can't seem to hold it on the opposite shoulder while I am typing so calling is my absolute last resort and usually I just forget what it was I may have been trying to do rather than call. I hate CAPTCHA! Google's in my opinion is one of the worst I have heard and my husband said he can't read it either. I would not use Google at all any longer, if I were not required to do so at work. They play at accessibility but don't take it seriously, just look at all the clutter on the home page.

Here you go with some quick instructions on creating a gmail account NOTE: the same username and password can be used on all your google accounts, i.e. youtube, google maps, google documents etc. 1. Go to www.gmail.com 2. Click enter on the link: Create an account 3. On the next page fill out the form with appropriate details requested Edit boxes by typing the fields, Check boxes by space barring on them, list boxes and combo boxes, you know how they need to be done 4. There will be a challentge in filling the username field, if the username already exists it will tell you that it does, and give you combinations of usernames you may want to choose - use the up and down arrow keys to toggle the options, enter to select, if they are not what you wish you need to type in a new one again in the text box, check again if the username is not already taken. 5. Use the audio captcha, or request a phone verification 6. Check the checkboxes and hit enter on the next button Sorry did not get further from this as I did not want to create another gmail account.
