Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Vipre Antivirus
Hello Mario, Yes, Vipre can be a little cumbersome at times, but for the most part, it is very easy to use. I am afraid that I am not a scripter, so please don't expect anything out of me in that area. Ha Ha. I have been using Vipre for so long, I am glad to hear that it is becoming more popular with the blind community. I hope that it continues to work well for you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] dragging and dropping
I usually do a copy and paste, But the following may give you some ideas. It is the instructions I saved from somewhere to move items on the task bar. Good luck Drag Drop on the TaskBar you can drag them to another location using the Jaws cursor: 1. Move to the program's button that you want to move. 2. Press Insert + Numpad Minus to route the Jaws Cursor to the PC cursor, and then press Insert + Numpad Slash to lock the left mouse button, in other words, start holding it down. 3. Press Numpad Plus to switch back to using the PC cursor, and then press either Left Arrow or Right Arrow the number of times which is the number of positions which you want to move the program either to the left or right respectively. This moves the PC cursor to the position where you want the program to end up. 4. Press Insert + Numpad Minus to route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor, and press Insert + Numpad Slash to unlock the left mouse button, in other words, stop holding it down. 5. Finally, press Numpad Plus to switch back to the PC cursor. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 6:19 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] dragging and dropping Hi, I did read somewhere, and can't remember where, that it is possible to actually drag and drop using jaws.

[JAWS-Users] Problems Accessing Amazon.com
Recently, I have begun to experience problems accessing Amazon.com using IE 8 with JAWS 9 (or JAWS 13 in demo mode, for that matter) and XP. If I type a search phrase into the search edit field on the Amazon.com home page, the search results page comes up just fine. But sometimes, when I click on one of the search results to learn more about a particular product, JAWS suddenly goes silent, and the page does not load completely. I then have to launch NVDA to close the stuck page with Windows Task Manager, which usually, but not always restores JAWS to speech. Once JAWS starts speaking again , I can unload NVDA. If I try to access Amazon.com using Firefox 29, I cannot locate any search edit field on the home page like I can with IE. Indeed, with Firefox, there appears to be no search edit field at all on the Amazon.com home page, and the only way to access a search field is to click on the link for accessing the version of Amazon.com optimized for screen readers. But I don't l ike this optimized version of Amazon.com, because the results page leaves out a lot of information I am interested in, like overall review ratings for each product. Is there any way to locate the search edit field on the Amazon.com home page using Firefox, or otherwise access the same normal home page with Firefox that comes up when I access it with IE?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problems Accessing Amazon.com
Hi, I am using Jaws 15 and Internet Explorer 11. However, I surmise that these tips may be helpful with other versions of both Jaws and Internet Explorer. I cannot speak for Firefox, however, because I do not have it installed on either one of my Windows 7 sixty four bit computers. First of all, Amazon has begun to crowd it's pages with far too much information. Between flash and graphical buttons and links it is very difficult sometimes to navigate to the place you want to go. The past forty days I have been updating our two bedroom two bathroom apartment and I have been ordering items from Amazon almost every day. I use the following navigational guidelines to speed up my browsing. First, knowing that there will be about 350 links on the page including pictures, I give it a chance to load. Then I press e to put me the search dialog box. Once I type my keyword for which I am searching. For example dining table. I give it another chance to load another page of too many links and pictures and graphics after I have pressed enter. Now to the individual who posed this question, I am not attempting to insult your intelligence with baby steps. I am giving detailed instructions for anyone who wants them but who is not as experienced with jaws or with Internet Explorer as you no doubt are. Smile! Anyway once this page of search results has been loaded I narrow down my results because I am a Prime user. Even if you do not have Prime you can benefit by the same keystrokes. I hit h2 and this will take me over to heading 2 where Jaws will voice a selection of options that Amazon has such as Prime or if I do not want to eliminate Prime shipping I can further down arrow and choose other options such as add ons or color choices or price limits and so on. I can press enter on each choice and each time give Amazon a few seconds for the page to load and then press h to cycle through my options instead of arrowing through the very noisy page of hundreds of links that sometimes freezes Jaws or even Internet Explorer. Once I have found an item I want to look at more closely for example a specific dining table I press enter and the page for that table will load with another 200 links including pictures and graphical links. I can also use the h to skip a bunch of amazon pushes for everything from Kindle unlimited to Kindle fire to amazon phone etc. This will speed me through the adds for what others who looked at this choice eventually purchased to the reviews and the technical specifications which I really want to see and I can go right to the combo box where I can select more than one of this item and then arrow right down to add to cart. This also allows me to skip their new little trick where they put one click purchasing right below add to cart so that will get turned on and they can sell me stuff automatically without me even knowing it if I am not very careful. And once I am done instead of playing around with the b over and over where they try to sell me tons of other stuff that is claimed to be related to what I just bought which is a bunch of crap, Laughs! I just hit Jaws very useful Insert + F7 and choose My cart or whatever your cart happens to be named. And then hit b and it will take you to proceed to checkout right away. That will save you a whole lot of time which will keep your jaws and your browser from freezing up with all the adds and extra links and extra graphical buttons and ads that amazon has recently started adding.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problems Accessing Amazon.com
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems with Amazon.com. I do a lot of shopping there, and the JAWS hanging problem is turning into a major nuisance. When I access Amazon.com using Firefox 29, the first link at the top of the home page is for accessing the version of Amazon.com optimized for screen readers. But whether I press E, or scroll down from the top of the page using the down arrow key, I cannot locate any search edit field. There are plenty of links for products that Amazon is trying to push, along with links to products I have recently viewed, but no way to search for a particular product of interest. I suspect that Firefox recognizes JAWS and automatically suppresses the normal home page to force screen reader users to access the optimized home page on which there is a search edit field.

Then I press e to put me the search dialog box. Once I type my keyword for which I am searching. For example dining table.

I do a lot of shopping there, and the JAWS hanging problem is turning into a major nuisance.

But whether I press E, or scroll down from the top of the page using the down arrow key, I cannot locate any search edit field. There are plenty of links for products that Amazon is trying to push, along with links to products I have recently viewed, but no way to search for a particular product of interest.

If I type a search phrase into the search edit field on the Amazon.com home page, the search results page comes up just fine. But sometimes, when I click on one of the search results to learn more about a particular product, JAWS suddenly goes silent, and the page does not load completely. I then have to launch NVDA to close the stuck page with Windows Task Manager, which usually, but not always restores JAWS to speech. Once JAWS starts speaking again , I can unload NVDA. If I try to access Amazon.com using Firefox 29, I cannot locate any search edit field on the home page like I can with IE. Indeed, with Firefox, there appears to be no search edit field at all on the Amazon.com home page, and the only way to access a search field is to click on the link for accessing the version of Amazon.com optimized for screen readers. But I don't like this optimized version of Amazon.com, because the results page leaves out a lot of information I am interested in, like overall review ratings for each product. Is there any way to locate the search edit field on the Amazon.com home page using Firefox, or otherwise access the same normal home page with Firefox that comes up when I access it with IE?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problems Accessing Amazon.com
Yes, the customer reviews are listed on the details page for each product returned on the results page using the screen reader-optimized version of Amazon.com. But the results page itself does not contain overall review ratings for each product, like on the normal version of Amazon.com. So there is no quick way to get an idea of a product's rating without clicking on its details page for more information, which is a royal pain. And the optimized version only contains five results per page, and there is no way to increase this number. Finally, the optimized version does not have headings for each product on the results page, which makes navigation somewhat more cumbersome. Although the optimized version of Amazon.com is certainly usable, it is not really useful for my purposes, and I much prefer the normal, full version.

I use the version of Amazon for screen readers, as I refuse to go through all that was just described. For each product I choose there is a link for customer reviews and I read all of them, so I don't imnderstand your comment about not having product reviews, they are there.

I do a lot of shopping there, and the JAWS hanging problem is turning into a major nuisance. When I access Amazon.com using Firefox 29, the first link at the top of the home page is for accessing the version of Amazon.com optimized for screen readers. But whether I press E, or scroll down from the top of the page using the down arrow key, I cannot locate any search edit field. There are plenty of links for products that Amazon is trying to push, along with links to products I have recently viewed, but no way to search for a particular product of interest. I suspect that Firefox recognizes JAWS and automatically suppresses the normal home page to force screen reader users to access the optimized home page on which there is a search edit field. But as I stated earlier, the optimized version of Amazon.com for screen readers leaves a lot to be desired.

If I type a search phrase into the search edit field on the Amazon.com home page, the search results page comes up just fine. But sometimes, when I click on one of the search results to learn more about a particular product, JAWS suddenly goes silent, and the page does not load completely. I then have to launch NVDA to close the stuck page with Windows Task Manager, which usually, but not always restores JAWS to speech. Once JAWS starts speaking again , I can unload NVDA. If I try to access Amazon.com using Firefox 29, I cannot locate any search edit field on the home page like I can with IE. Indeed, with Firefox, there appears to be no search edit field at all on the Amazon.com home page, and the only way to access a search field is to click on the link for accessing the version of Amazon.com optimized for screen readers. But I don't like this optimized version of Amazon.com, because the results page leaves out a lot of information I am interested in, like overall review ratings for each product. Is there any way to locate the search edit field on the Amazon.com home page using Firefox, or otherwise access the same normal home page with Firefox that comes up when I access it

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problems Accessing Amazon.com
When I acceess Amazon through my Firefox 30, it is just where it is in IE. Which is right below the section where you access My Account, My Cart, and I don't know why, but the Go button is now above the search field. But Amazon works fine through the Firefox that I have installed on my computer, just as it does through Internet Explorer 11. It is Amazon's design changes that have screwed up their web site. As for you not being able to find the search field at all, I am sorry, but I don't know.

However, I surmise that these tips may be helpful with other versions of both Jaws and Internet Explorer. I cannot speak for Firefox, however, because I do not have it installed on either one of my Windows 7 sixty four bit computers. First of all, Amazon has begun to crowd it's pages with far too much information. Between flash and graphical buttons and links it is very difficult sometimes to navigate to the place you want to go. The past forty days I have been updating our two bedroom two bathroom apartment and I have been ordering items from Amazon almost every day. I use the following navigational guidelines to speed up my browsing. First, knowing that there will be about 350 links on the page including pictures, I give it a chance to load. Then I press e to put me the search dialog box. Once I type my keyword for which I am searching. For example dining table. I give it another chance to load another page of too many links and pictures and graphics after I have pressed enter. Now to the individual who posed this question, I am not attempting to insult your intelligence with baby steps. I am giving detailed instructions for anyone who wants them but who is not as experienced with jaws or with Internet Explorer as you no doubt are. Smile! Anyway once this page of search results has been loaded I narrow down my results because I am a Prime user. Even if you do not have Prime you can benefit by the same keystrokes. I hit h2 and this will take me over to heading 2 where Jaws will voice a selection of options that Amazon has such as Prime or if I do not want to eliminate Prime shipping I can further down arrow and choose other options such as add ons or color choices or price limits and so on. I can press enter on each choice and each time give Amazon a few seconds for the page to load and then press h to cycle through my options instead of arrowing through the very noisy page of hundreds of links that sometimes freezes Jaws or even Internet Explorer. Once I have found an item I want to look at more closely for example a specific dining table I press enter and the page for that table will load with another 200 links including pictures and graphical links. I can also use the h to skip a bunch of amazon pushes for everything from Kindle unlimited to Kindle fire to amazon phone etc. This will speed me through the adds for what others who looked at this choice eventually purchased to the reviews and the technical specifications which I really want to see and I can go right to the combo box where I can select more than one of this item and then arrow right down to add to cart. This also allows me to skip their new little trick where they put one click purchasing right below add to cart so that will get turned on and they can sell me stuff automatically without me even knowing it if I am not very careful. And once I am done instead of playing around with the b over and over where they try to sell me tons of other stuff that is claimed to be related to what I just bought which is a bunch of
