Ok, lets start with selective startup. There's nothing wrong with using selective startup, that's what I do to keep extra programs that aren't necessary from loading. I can't figure out why you said the keyboard wasn't working, but I can educatedly guess why Jaws wasn't working. I'll bet somehow you unchecked the REaltech sound manager from loading by mistake. That will kill sound every time after Windows loads. So the bottom line, when you go through the startup list, make sure you know which programs you are unchecking so you don't dump one that might be system critical, as the sound manager is for us, and of course, as an anti-virus program is. As to your second question, your Outlook Express files are stored under your documents and settings, Username, Local Settings, application Data, Identities, alphanumeric string, Microsoft, Outlook Express folder. Unless you have Task and Folder options set to show hidden files, you won't see these files. However, if you set up your backup solution to backup your Documents and Settings folder, it will back up your OE .dbx files as well. The other type of backup you can use of course is a program that takes an image of your hard drive and stores it on external media. The image will restore everything if there is a severe crash, including the Windows System and all your installed programs. You don't have to do image files as often, but you should back up your data in the Documents and Settings folder more often, as that likely changes on a daily basis.

[JAWS-Users] drive remounting program
An alert list member just sent me a sweet little program for remounting drive letters without so much as a reboot, just a simple command line. I just wrote a batch file and remapped about seven drives on my test machine. I’ll double check but it looks like it is free to distribute, if that is so I’ll put it on the server. Just in case it is not I’ll include the link in this message. Obviously English is not this guys native language, but he gets his point across. Changing a drive letter does not require a reboot of windows. Personally, I use a command line called remount.exe which will allow me to type in, or swap drive letters with just a command line. If I want drive g to be f I will just type remount g: f: If I want to swap around, I just type in with a -s switch. You can obtain a copy of remount.exe from http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/remount.zip You can visit the website and see if you can find some of command program as well here http:/www.uwe-sieber.de David Ferrin Beauty fades but dumbness is forever.

After a moment, a message informing you that the file was successfully uploaded will appear below that button, and a heading will appear below that asking you what type of conversion you want. Of the four radio buttons, choose Document conversion for this example. Of course, the others are all viable options gtoo. 3. Once a radio button is chosen, two more headings appear below them. Note that upon choosing the radio button you want, you may be bounced to the edit field for entering your e-mail address, and you will have to move up to the options heading. If you chose Document Conversion, the Step 3 - Specify document conversion options section contains a combo box listing the ten possible output formats.

I do have Open Book 9, but my efforts to open it with OB haven't worked. I don't know if I have messed up my file associations or something, but I get the following error message: File C:\Program Files (x86)\Freedom Scientific\OpenBook\9.0\Users\default\Library\(the name of the file).pdf does not exist. The file is definitely in documents under libraries. I launch OB. Press alt-F/ Press enter on open. Paste in the name of the file . Tab over to the combo box for look in. Get to libraries and press enter on open. I can't get it to go below libraries. I've spent hours on this and am getting very frustrated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Reading Whole .PDF Document and Convenient OCRFeature
Margaret, Launch Open book. Press Control+o to open. tab to file type and type adobe. Or just arrow down to adobe/PDF. Shift tab back to folder name. I usually have my docs under my documents but Openbook has its own path. So when on folder name keep hitting the backspace key until you get to the folder where your PDF file is located. You might just want to put your file on desktop and keep pressing the backspace until you get to desktop. When you see your file name in list view press enter and OpenBook should begin processing. Hopefully it is readable.

Ok, lets start with selective startup. There's nothing wrong with using selective startup, that's what I do to keep extra programs that aren't necessary from loading. I can't figure out why you said the keyboard wasn't working, but I can educatedly guess why Jaws wasn't working. I'll bet somehow you unchecked the REaltech sound manager from loading by mistake. That will kill sound every time after Windows loads. So the bottom line, when you go through the startup list, make sure you know which programs you are unchecking so you don't dump one that might be system critical, as the sound manager is for us, and of course, as an anti-virus program is. As to your second question, your Outlook Express files are stored under your documents and settings, Username, Local Settings, application Data, Identities, alphanumeric string, Microsoft, Outlook Express folder. Unless you have Task and Folder options set to show hidden files, you won't see these files. However, if you set up your backup solution to backup your Documents and Settings folder, it will back up your OE .dbx files as well. The other type of backup you can use of course is a program that takes an image of your hard drive and stores it on external media. The image will restore everything if there is a severe crash, including the Windows System and all your installed programs. You don't have to do image files as often, but you should back up your data in the Documents and Settings folder more often, as that likely changes on a daily basis.

Computer freeze. Thanks all!! You guys really helped me on this one. I've seemed to have gotten the computer working with your help. To complete, I went in to msconfig and noticed that selective start was checked. My other options were normal and one other one. What should be checked? That computer is XP home. My second computer is XP pro and when I checked , all 3 options said checked. The main computer would only allow one option to be checked. Another question. I have, I think, an external hard drive to back up information. I am able to copy the C drive in to this but, I am not sure how or if I can copy my e mails from Outlook Express. When in O E, the options to copy to folders were for folders within O E. So, how can I back up e mails? Thanks again for all of the help.

I have a new checking account with a local credit union and although I've never attempted banking on line before, I thought I'd see if it is possible to do it with this friendly bank. Aside from my own issues, I'm not sure that their website is all that accessible because I had to get telephone help from them with getting registered so that I can log in. Now I see that paying checks on line is in a frame. So I need to know how to get into the frame to see what is involved and then leave the frame when I'm done. Can anyone make a suggestion about getting in and out of the frame?

Re: [JAWS-Users] frames
Miriam, It is my experience that you don't get into and out of a frame. You can just arrow down the page and you will hear something like FRAME NAME, then all the stuff in that frame, then end of frame. You don't have to do anything special to enter it. Just by moving down with your virtual cursor, you enter and exit it. Some frames are emtpy so there really isn't anything in them to navigate to. You can use the m key to jump around the page by frames, then when you get to the frame you want, just start arrowing down. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
