[JAWS-Users] weird problem with jaws 7.1 and IE6 at work
hello all, A couple months ago, my work computer was upgraded to JAWS 8. However, I work in microsoft access all day long, and Jaws was not reading the fields, and the braille display was not showing the information I needed to be able to do my job effectively. I asked the IT department to put me back to 7.1, which had been working fine. But since then, I've had the strangest internet problem I've ever run across. I only hope I can explain it properly. it's as if the way jaws reads links and text on a web page has been completely turned around. now if I am trying to read a line or more of straight text, jaws and the braille display are showing it as if each word is on one line. I literally have to arrow down and down and down from word to word, instead of jaws reading a line, or the braille display showing 40 cells of text. For links, instead of ... how to describe this ... well, I often arrow through links, instead of tabbing, until I am familiar with a web page, because there is often important information in text above or below links. So, I'm arrowing down through what should be a list of links, but now the whole list is being shown horizontally across the braille display and jaws is reading a series of links like they are all in one line, not one below the other. For example, I work at Guide Dogs for the Blind, and on our intranet, we have links to the issues of our internal employee news letter. Before the jaws upgrade and un-upgrade, the links would appear to me on the braille display and by jaws reading like this: January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 and so on. Now they appear like this. January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 A line of simple text might read like this. A line of simple text might read like this I usually have to go online everyday to look up information on rehab and other blindness resources for people who are interested in getting a guide dog but don't have the mobility or other skills yet needed. This problem is getting so annoying, I'm having to put people on hold and ask a sighted coworker to look up info on their computers or in a print resource book they have. And of course, there is all kinds of important information for employees on our intra net. So, if my description makes any sense, does anyone have any ideas about how to resolve this? Is it something IT will have to do, since I am not an administrator for my computer at work? I've tried comparing my home internet settings in configuration manager and jaws verbosity and can't seem to find something that isn't the same on both.

[JAWS-Users] Re: weird problem with jaws 7.1 and IE6 at work
Hello I had the same problem with internet and jaws after downgrading from 8 to 7.1. The way I solved this problem is completely uninstall all versions of jaws with all shared settings and install only the version you work with no problem. You should ask the administrators to do this for you,since you have no administrative rights. Negoslav hello all, A couple months ago, my work computer was upgraded to JAWS 8.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS AND LOGITEK LASER KEYBOARDS
Hi group: I don't post much here because I find your discussions more interesting than anything I normally have to offer. But, recently, more as a chance than by plan, I ended up buying a Logitech laser keyboard from my local Best Buys store. I never expected any trouble but boy did I get it. I'll explain in some detail but for the moment, know this. If you want to use one of these wireless keyboards, you don't need the disk which accompanies the purchase in spite of everything the manufacturer tells you. The keyboard works just fine without it. But why do I need a laser keyboard, you might ask? My friends, this keyboard can move anywhere within 30 feet of the computer and still function just as if it was hard wired to the PC. You can literally sit across the room and operate your computer. Last night, just for fun, I stretched out on a lounge chair and rested the keyboard on my stomach. After some experimentation as to exact location, I was able to use it quite easily. For us, as blind computer operators, the advantages are in the fact that no extensive wiring is required. Once the antenna has been installed, that's all the wiring needed. SETTING UP THE LOGITECH WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE: CONTENTS OF SHIPPING CONTAINER: Please check and note all of these items before you begin. If anything is missing, return the unit immediately to the store. There are 2 tampering seals on the front flap of the box. If either or both of those seals are broken, do not purchase the unit. It should be completely sealed at time of purchase. However, most stores will permit you to open the container to verify that all of the contents are present. Nobody's perfect. In order to open the box, the seals will have to be broken. Unless there is something wrong with the contents of this container, please try to take that box as your purchase since other customers will have the same concern as you do about missing items or security. The box should contain the following. ONE WIRELESS KEYBOARD, ONE WIRELESS MOUSE, ONE ANTENNA ASSEMBLY, ONE SOFTWARE CD, 2 SETS OF BATTERIES, DOUBLE AND TRIPLE-A, INSTRUCTION SHEET: INSTALLING THE ANTENNA: This small device looks a lot like the antennas used in XM radio receivers. It can rest comfortably on any flat surface although the designers recommend that you avoid placing the antenna on a metal surface. That leaves the top of your tower out. We used a small piece of Velcro and attached the flat side of the antenna to a convenient shelf. There's a Connection button on the front side of the antenna which you will need access to at times. So wherever you install it, make it reachable. There are 2 ways to attach the antenna to your PC. You can use the 2 PS2 connectors which are provided and place them in the same positions as your keyboard and mouse. The keyboard connector is fitted with an adapter and that makes it easy to determine which plug is which. The second way to connect the antenna is with a USB port. The adapter should be removed from the keyboard side of the cable, then the remaining USB jack should be fitted into any convenient port designed for that purpose. In that case, the second connecting cable hangs free because it isn't needed. If you use the USB option, just fold the second lead back and tape it into place out of the way. Make sure that the antenna isn't blocked by any metallic objects like the rails on a shelf unit or the housing of your computer. The best place for the antenna is higher than the computer itself. This allows for a wider range of signal exchange between the antenna and the remote components. POWERING THE REMOTE COMPONENTS: Some components require batteries. There are 2 which operate independently from the computer. The mouse takes 2 double-A batteries and the keyboard takes 2 triple-A batteries. both sets of batteries are provided by the manufacturer. INSERTING THE MOUSE BATTERIES: There's a tiny RECESSED push button located at the thicker end of the mouse on the bottom. If you press that sliding switch in toward the center of the mouse, a small door will pop open and that is where the two double-A batteries are inserted. Examine the terminals or connectors inside the compartment carefully. The batteries go in opposite directions so that they complete an in parallel circuit. But the compartment is reasonably accessible. If you hold the mouse with the Scrolling Wheel toward you, the left battery is inserted with the positive pole going away from you. The right hand battery is installed in exactly the opposite manner, with the negative pole facing away from you. Once the batteries are seated firmly, the door can be replaced and snapped down. Always insert the rear edge of the battery door first. Do not use excessive pressure. The plastic is relatively thin. INSERTING THE BATTERIES INTO THE KEYBOARD: The battery compartment on the keyboard is much
