[Blind-Computing] outlook 2010
Hi all, I've just gotten outlook 2010 over the last few days, but i'm finding it difficult to get jaws to read as i'm moving between messages and or contacts. Are there any settings I should change in order to make it a bit more jaws friendly?

Hi Mark, Try this for size, note that it's an auto installer, so once you set it away you won't need to do anything, just uninstall 2011 and go to this link. http://www.ninite.com/messenger This creates a ninite installer with only windows live messenger 2009 in, look at the ninite homepage if you want to play with getting more apps, it's an ausum service.

I must admit I had maill version 11 working wel to a fashion and messinger was not too bad but to stop a problem that occured when I send a message I had to type a period and a space before every message.

Hi, A password manager is a piece of software that enables you to keep a record of your log ins in a highly encrypted database.

Re: [Blind-Computing] daily term
to be safe, I wouldn't do anything sensitive on any open network, and even if you don't get hacked that way, a packet sniffer could be installed on the machine of another user on the same network, which will capture your passwords in the clear. A secure network usually shows up as being secure when you search for it, and it'll tell you what type of encryption it uses. If your the one running the access point, log into its web innterface and it'll tell you under wireless security. This is found in slightly different places depending on the make and model of the router or access point.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Improving the security of my computers
Hi Chris, Seems like a good plan. Another thing you could do it to set an account lockout policy. This means that if someone enters an incorrect password 3 times, the account gets locked for a set amount of time, after which point the person trying to log on is able to try again. if you have the pro versions of windows 7 like pro or ultimate, then you can set this via local group policy, if not, there's a command line tool for doing it, but unfortunately I can't remember the commands off the top of my head.

The PC cursor is the system focus, and yes, it is visible, it's the virtual PC cursor sighted people can't see I believe. What I did was allow them to ask questions as I went along, and I clarified things if they got confused.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Question regarding lenox and jaws.
Google is your friend at this point. To be able to run a graphical environment, your going to need more memory than you would just running a command line only distribution, and i'm afraid that there's quite a steap learning curve when switching to linux, for example, drives aren't labled the same, in most distributions, if you want to switch to your primary partition on your hard drive which contains the OS, you would type cd /dev/sda1 into a terminal and press enter. of course it's much easier from a desktop environment, but administering the system means you'll need to do some work in the command line to get orca to work with the applications, or else you'll have to use the command line to do most admministration tasks.

According to Tony Sales, who is leading the Vinux development, Debian is much more stable. He started with Ubuntu with the 1.x versions. Ubuntu is very popular and has a lot of hardware support right out of the box. He was having much difficulty, however, keeping current with their quickly changing baseline. This baseline frequently had problems with certain applications. Therefore, their development cycle would not allow him to create a stable distro. He has done a lot of work configuring this distribution to work with as much hardware support as possible. Of course, the focus is to have accessibility applications installed and ready from the start. With most distributions, you need to know quite a bit about Linux to get Orca installed and configured. I would not want to portray moving to Linux as not having a learning curve! Fortunately, there are numerous sources on the web for tutorials at all levels. If you are curious, give the Live CD a test run! It does not perform as well as installing to your hard drive, but there is absolutely risk free! Some people might prefer to use Vinux in a window of your current Operating system as a Virtual Machine. There is a version setup for 1.5.2 on his server and will soon have a 2.0 release available as well. Keep in mind running two Operating Systems at the same time requires quite a bit of memory, and hard disk. This not a viable option for older machines.

Does anyone have any experience with Debion versus Ubuntu? Which is more stable? Which is the easiest to use with Orca? I know that Ubuntu seems to be the latest Linux rage and has really taken quite a foot hold in the Linux community. I've been thinking about installing Ubuntu on one of my machines, but if Debion has a greater advantage, I'd like to know before I plunge into the happy world of learning a whole new operating system.

[Blind-Computing] IE 7 crashing on facebook
Hi all, I'm almost tearing my hair out with this one. Whenever I log onto my facebook account, IE 7 crashes. This has only started happening over the last couple of days.

[Blind-Computing] accessibleRSS options for firefox
Hi all, I'm thinking of switching completely over to firefox for all internet serfing over the next few weeks. The only problem i've got with firefox is that I can't figure out how the live bookmarks work as it compares to RSS feeds in IE. Could someone please explain how the reading of RSS feeds can be done with a screen reader in firefox?

Re: [Blind-Computing] firefox
I think if I could find a good way of importing my RSS feeds into firefox from IE in a .opml file, and then a useable way of reading them, i'd switch to firefox in a flash.

I hope somebody else can give you some better news but remedies to get rid of Trojans often rely on deleting files in Windows Safe Mode. That is a version of windows where minimal features are loaded. There is no way that I am aware of that you can use a screen reader in safe Mode as I believe no audio drivers are loaded. I would be very interested if someone can point out that I am wrong. Whatever course you take to get rid of this Trojan I think you are going to need sighted help. I have had a couple of problems like these over the years and I am afraid to say I found the help desks of Norton and AVG pretty impotent . You can easily spend hours and hours trying to sort this out. In my experience the quickest waymay be to do a destructive Windows re-install so your priority now should be backing up all the data you need including emails etc. Our list owner David, has suggested using a solution like Image for Windows as an escape route for problems like these. I think he is right, I use Norton Ghost but you do need sighted help whilst it re-builds Windows. Image for Windows apparently has a method people without sight can deploy. It is not much help for you right now but I suggest that once your system is restored to perfect health and you have everything how you want it use a program like Image for Windows to freeze this as an image. Then you can always go back to this perfect state which gives peace of mind. Use Karen's Replicator available on the owners site to keep all your important data backed up separately so that these can be resored also once you put the perfect image back in.

Hi all, I really need help with this very badly. I have an older version of Norton (Internet Security version 2006) and that may be the problem. But I can't seem to remove this 1 Trojan horse. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want to take Norton off and put avira Anti Virus program on, but I believe you have to have someone sighted to help with the Norton removal tool. I've even tried doing a system restore, but it failed and I've had the problem with system restore long before I got this Trojan Horse. I'm using Windows XP and Jaws 7.0.

Re: [Blind-Computing] changing the default drive programs install to?
You may need to change the drive letter of your local hard drive. Email me off list and i'll give you the instructions for it, as I don't have them to hand at the moment. Aiden - Original Message - From: Desiree Oudinot [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2008 12:48 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] changing the default drive programs install to? I'm having a problem with installing certain programs. Drive C is not my default drive, and although I would like to change it, the reason it is not by default is because awhile ago when I got my computer fixed, the person who fixed it installed several extra memory slots but didn't put anything in them. As a result, I now have 3 unusable drive letters, and my local drive is H. This usually isn't a problem, as most programs will ask you to change the directory you install to if you want to. However, I'm thinking of 2 programs in particular that do not, and then fail to recognize that drive C doesn't exist, so I'm unable to install them. So is there a way to make it so that all programs that are being installed will recognize that drive H is the default and not drive C?

Re: [Blind-Computing] GW MICRO AND FREEDOM SCIENTIFIC, A COMPARISON
Nimer, The only reason I won't switch from jaws to window eyes is that jaws provides mutch better support for Windows live messanger. If you use it, how do you get it to repeat messages that you've missed? Aiden - Original Message - From: Nimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 4:51 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] GW MICRO AND FREEDOM SCIENTIFIC, A COMPARISON I am a user of window eyes, and have been for a long time. I am going to answer your questions to the best of my ability, but you may want to join the GWmicro list by sending a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] JOHN JUSTICE wrote: Recently, my wife learned that an effort is being made to use Window-Eyes at her work site. Her computer has been loaded with Version 6.1. With a view to helping her to learn the program, I contacted GW Micro and learned that an evaluation version can be purchased for 60 days. The cost is $39 plus shipping. This version, unlike the trial software which is down loadable, has no restrictions in operation or time. The evaluation version is fully functional but will last only 60 days after which it becomes no longer accessible. To me, that is a very nice idea. But I do have a couple of questions. 1. Does anyone on this list use Window-Eyes? I have tried playing with the software but the controls seem so vastly different from Jaws and I feel a bit lost. For example, the keys on the keypad which normally change from cursor to cursor in Jaws, don't seem to operate in the same manner. That brings up my next question. Window Eyes controls, in my opinion, are vastly easier than JAWS, not requiring the use of a configuration menu. I have used both products, and WE's menu structure is easy, and there are shortcuts for almost everything. 2. Jaws has a PC cursor, a Jaws cursor and an invisible cursor. Are there comparable functions with Window Eyes? If so, how the devil do you find them? I have been able to use Window-Eyes in Outlook Express. There, at least, it seems to work in a more or less normal manner. That is as far as reading the e-mail is concerned. I haven't tried typing with Window-Eyes yet. In fact, I'm a bit frightened of the prospect. That brings up my next question. Window Eyes uses what is known as a mouse cursor type thing as well as the regular cursor. The mouse cursor allows you to see what is on the screen. This is especially useful for an application that isn't as accessible, although Window Eyes 7.0 has incorporated a virtual view script that effectively negates the use of the mouse. This is accessible via the keypad keys on a desktop in desktop layout. Slash is left click, Star is right click, and the numbers move you. 3. Is there a quick reference guide somewhere in the manual which will give you a description of the functions which is short and sweet? Yes, there is. It is known as appendix A, and it is in the manual. 4. How do you adjust the voices in Window-Eyes? The voices are adjusted by several methods. 1. Use control+alt+arrows to adjust tone, pitch, rate, volume by using left arrow, up arrow, and down arrow. Select for what the voices will be applied by using the right arrow in conjunction with the up, and down arrows. For example, a voice can be set just for the screen, I.E what is read. Or, it can be set for the keyboard, I.E what is typed on the keyboard if key echo is on. Or, it can be set for the mouse, I.E the mouse cursor. Finally, you can select the voice for all, meaning the screen, keyboard, and mouse. Once finished, press alt in the window eyes control panel, arrow down to save, press enter, and press enter on set file. This will save the set file. If it asks you if you want to associate it with the current application, either select yes or no. Selecting yes will mean that the voice is selected for that app, where as selecting no is for the entire computer. 2. You can also go into the menus. For example, press alt once in the window eyes control panel. Press right arrow to screen. Down arrow, and you will see your controls. Do this for screen, keyboard, and mouse. 5. Is there a way to change the way the cursor responds from characters to words quickly and effectively? What do you mean? COMMENTS: The one thing I noticed immediately with GW Micro was their willingness to help in every way they could. Help can be had at Freedom Scientific and in fact, some of the technical support people are pretty good. But GW Micro seems to go out of the way to be of service. I am impressed by that. On Sunday, 09/21/2008, one of the GW Micro reps is going to introduce Linda to Window-Eyes for the first time. she has never been exposed to a Windows based screen reader before. To put it bluntly, Lin isn't one who will go out of her way to mess with a computer. That just isn't her thing. But it seems like she may

Hello, all. I'll try to keep this as short and simple as possible. I've got 4 GB of ram in my system. About a week and a half ago, my video card ended up dying, and I bought a replacement. My old card had 256 mb of ram on it, and the new card supposedly has 512 mb of ram on it. I had a company come and install the new video card last Wednesday. Prior to the change in video card, I would have sworn that my computer was recognizing 3.0 gb of ram. I had read on more than one occasion that win XP, especially the 32 bit version simply won't recognize the full 4 GB of ram I chose to install when I built my system, and was OK with that. After the change in video card, however, my system is only recognizing 2.5 GB of ram. The technician actually came back out to investigate, as I was convinced that a ram chip may have come lose during the installation of the video card. As it turns out, all of my memory is physicly fine; is recognized by the motherboard and by software like cpuz with no problem. The tech informed me that the decrease actually happened when I installed sp3, but I can't help thinking that this is inaccurate, since, like I said above, I am pretty sure that I can remember having 3.0 gb of ram before the video card change. I realize that on the whole, the ram decrease probably isn't a big deal, but it does seem that JFW loads a bit slower when I start my system. I guess I just want some other opinions for my own piece of mind, and to know whether or not I should look into this further or just accept that this is the way things are now.

I think that a hard drive whether internal or external should have a longer life than 1-1/2 or 2 years. You did not mention the size of your failed Hitachi hard drive. I do think that the larger hard drives have the tendency to fail sooner than smaller ones. As I have mentioned, my Western Digital internal hard drive was 500 GB. and it failed within two years. I was told that the master file table which I believe keeps track of all the files on the hard drive was corrupted. Since I had many, many MP3 files on that old hard drive, I(I don't remember how many) it was probably too many for the master file table to keep up with it. I was told that the solution with large single hard drives is to split the hard drives into two drives. This could be done before any data is stored on a new hard drive using a function in Window to split the hard drive (I think it has to do with formatting). If data is already stored on the hard drive, then you need something like partition magic to split the hard drive. The advantage of splitting a hard drive (so I was told) is that it will create two master file tables which should handles the large number of files spread over the two areas. I have two external hard drives and one internal hard drive and all are 500 GB. each. So, the three are split to prevent failure. Each one has its own drive letter and each is split about 250 GB. each. I hope that this information is useful for you.

Although the Webvisam add-on certainly enhances Firefox's functionality, it still has a number of serious shortcomings for me to consider as my primary browser. First of all, the Find function (Control F) does not work particularly well, even with JAWS 9. And Firefox does not provide any audible alert when you access a web page that contains RSS feeds. Plus, the Webvisam adds a firecracker sound effect which I find really annoying after a while. And in side-by-side comparison, Firefox does not appear to load web pages any faster than IE.

I did notice that one of my clients got the notice yesterday, while I didn't get my notice until today. Funny enough, she lives in the same city as me, with the same ISP and everything. Don't know what's going on there.
