Re: [JAWS-Users] Which Graphics Card is better with JFW?
Pci and pci express are two different animals. Modern video cards are pci express x16, modern expansion cards are pci express x1, which should fit the x16 slot fine.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS 14 with Windows 8
Hello Everyone, I am about to purchase a new laptop. I am trying to decide rather to go ahead and get a Windows 8 machine or try to find one with Windows 7. I am using JAWS 14, which does work with Windows 8. However, I have been told by some that Windows 8 is difficult to use with a screen reader. I am curious as to what kind of experience that list members have had using JAWS with Windows 8. Thanks, Scott Duck For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 14 with Windows 8
I'd say go ahead and go for windows 8. It works just fine for me. It's not hard to use it's just people don't like to work hard. I'm like that to some times to be honest. So I'm not really bashingthem. See what is hard wal what was kind of for me was that things aren;'t all where you know them to be. Some things work differently too. So yeah, it's not all that bad. The start screen, it's like a table. So, yeah. It's your choice in the end, but I would go for it if it were me. You're very wize to ask how it works. I applaud you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 14 with Windows 8
Certainly, Win 8 is useable by Jaws 14 etc. I guess I'm an old fuddy-duddy, comments like what is below don't seem to be very helpful. Here are some considerations to bear in mind: 1. Win 8 layout is completely different from earlier versions. I do AT training, and there are several people who have upgraded to Win 8 and subsequently had their systems rolled back to Win 7. Yes, there are workarounds like classic shell etc. but the Win 8 experience is if not quite radically different, it is certainly a lot more unique that previous upgrades. Second, you may not have support for some of your programs in Win 8, I don't know if Openbook has released a patch to work in Win 8 yet, for example. If you are getting a new computer, then there are some nice advantages with Win 8 including Safeboot. But, since there are so many sighted users unhappy with Win 8, for my money, I'm sticking with Win 7 which will be supported for another seven years, and I'll await a more user-friendly Windows 9 which will probably be out sooner than later. I think Win 8 is Microsoft's latest equivalent of Windows ME and Vista, as Herman and His Hermits would say A Must to Avoid! Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

[JAWS-Users] ready boost
I found after just a bit of research that my test yesterday did not meet the minimum requirements for ready boost to work properly. According to my findings at least a 1 to 1 ratio of flash memory to system memory is required with a maximum of 2.5 to 1 ratio. For example if your system has 4 GB of memory you should use at least a 4 GB flash device and as I understand the upper limit the same system could handle a flash memory device up to 10 GB. It would seem that anything more or less is not a valid option. One article said something about optimal flash memory is double the system memory. So in short an 8 GB device for a 4 GB system. I do have an 8 GB flash drive which mathematically sounds like it will work fine with my 3 GB lap top, results to follow when I find out what they end up to be.

Hi David: Yes I used ready boost with my old computer. I was using 3 gb’s of ram, so I used a flash drive which I dedicated to ready boost. My computer used 5 gb’s of the available 16 gb’s, of the flash drive for ready boost, I stored stuff on the rest of the flash drive with no problems.

Hi Scott: I made the decision to buy a new windows 7 desktop computer in November. I read the how to use windows 8 books from bookshare. I decided for now to stay with windows 7, even though for the most part windows 8 looks like it works very well with Jaws. I am very happy with my choice, I am one who is not afraid to learn new things. I just think for me that windows 7 is smooth and secure right out of the box, and very accessible with jaws. I had no problems setting the new computer up and installing my programs. I have a 3.6 GHZ AMD FX-4100 quad processor with 6 GB of ram and a TB of storage. I was able to buy this computer cheaper because it was a windows 7 instead of a w-8. So keep that in mind as well as you shop for a computer, you should be able to get a more powerful windows 7 computer for the same money as a less powerful window 8 one , in my opinion. Jim God bless... You can reach me on skype at: Skype ID: buckeye.jim GO BUCKEYES!!! For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] IE 8 and Favorites
Hi I think the easiest way would be to go to the favorites folder in Windows Explorer, create the folders you want and then put the individual items into the folders You can find the favorites folder by doing the following. In Windows XP, go to the Documents and Settings folder, then to your user name folder, and then to the favorites folder. In Windows 7, go to Users, your user name, favorites. When you are in the favorites folder, press alt-f for the file menu and then select new and then new folder and press enter. Immediately type the name you want for that folder and press enter. Then press enter on that folder to open it. Now alt-Tab back to the favorites folder, find an item you want in that folder and press control-X to cut that item. Now alt-tab back to the new folder and press control-v to paste it into the new folder. Repeat this process for each item you want to place in the new folder. When done, while in the new folder, press alt+f4 to close it. Now go back and create the next new folder and repeat the steps to move items into it. Do this for each folder you want. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jerry Martin Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 09:24 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] IE 8 and Favorites To All Listers: Morning, y'all.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Graphics card advice needed
I don't know how else to put it, but you are confusing pci, an ancient technology that intel is trying to kill with pci express. There are many new pci express x1 cards that can easily fit in the pci express x16 slot instead of a video card. Just go over to newegg and search for something like a pci express sound card, you'll find them. I wouldn't buy much in the way of a plain pci card today, the next board you buy probably won't have more than one slot that will fit it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] ready boost
Unless you're doing heavy multitasking, I doubt you'll see any difference. You are already hurting speed wise because usb2 is slow compared to say sata or usb3. I played with ready boost a long time ago, and found it pointless. On 2/13/2013 13:29, David Ferrin wrote: I found after just a bit of research that my test yesterday did not meet the minimum requirements for ready boost to work properly. According to my findings at least a 1 to 1 ratio of flash memory to system memory is required with a maximum of 2.5 to 1 ratio. For example if your system has 4 GB of memory you should use at least a 4 GB flash device and as I understand the upper limit the same system could handle a flash memory device up to 10 GB. It would seem that anything more or less is not a valid option. One article said something about optimal flash memory is double the system memory. So in short an 8 GB device for a 4 GB system. I do have an 8 GB flash drive which mathematically sounds like it will work fine with my 3 GB lap top, results to follow when I find out what they end up to be.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 14 with Windows 8
Cool man. Like I said. It's your choice in the end, and yeah, I guess if there are things that don't work then yeah that is something to be carefull of. Like Open Book for instance. Come to think of it, Magic is another example. It don't work. I guess that the lay out thing didn't really bother me as much as it did others. That's fine I guess. I guess my main theme should have been try it out for your self and see what you think. Take a win 8 PC out for a spin in other words. But I guess you said you'll stick with Win 7 though. That's fine. I was just saying it's fine, win 8 is fine that is, and it was good of you to ask. It would have been even cooler if you could try it out which I don't know if you have. Paull Thurott guesses that Win 9 will be more metro like then Win 8 already is. But who knows.

Here are some considerations to bear in mind: 1. Win 8 layout is completely different from earlier versions. I do AT training, and there are several people who have upgraded to Win 8 and subsequently had their systems rolled back to Win 7. Yes, there are workarounds like classic shell etc. but the Win 8 experience is if not quite radically different, it is certainly a lot more unique that previous upgrades. Second, you may not have support for some of your programs in Win 8, I don't know if Openbook has released a patch to work in Win 8 yet, for example. If you are getting a new computer, then there are some nice advantages with Win 8 including Safeboot. But, since there are so many sighted users unhappy with Win 8, for my money, I'm sticking with Win 7 which will be supported for another seven years, and I'll await a more user-friendly Windows 9 which will probably be out sooner than later. I think Win 8 is Microsoft's latest equivalent of Windows ME and Vista, as Herman and His Hermits would say A Must to Avoid! Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

See what is hard wal what was kind of for me was that things aren;'t all where you know them to be. Some things work differently too. So yeah, it's not all that bad.

Now, having said that, if you are lucky enough to get things elevated, Mr. Downey and Greeley (sp) are excellent and usually can find a solution. As one who was formerly involved in the AT field as a dealer, it is getting harder and harder to find good support these days. I think both because of the product complexity and niche market, I don't know frankly how these small companies can continue to provide decent tech support. There is in my opinion only one compamy who really hasn't dropped the ball as far as tech support for assistive technology.

I may not have my HTML or some other setting set right, but even trying to do a shift enter, which works sometimes because some links open in a new browser window, doesn't help. This is Jaws 14 so not sure if it's a Jaws 14 thing or something in my configuration settings. I also get the message on some pages that tell me to upgrade I.E. but I refuse to use 9 because a lot of people have had trouble navigating or downloading using 9. Are some links configured in some way to where Jaws can't line up with the link and open? I can switch to another version to see if the problem persists but wanted to ask first if anyone has seen kind of a frequent thing with websites where links just won't open. And it's not the whole site, just to be clear. It's just certain links on the sites, which leads me to believe there's something about the link itself that makes it impossible to open. Do I have to put it back to mouse-over setting in HTML? I have it not to speak that but should it be put back, as some links have something to do with something mouse-over related? Which I don't really know the meaning of but just puzzled about this whole thing. Hope someone can help.
