Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS-Users] JAWS sighted assistance
Yes, I spent three hours Thursday with a tech support person who said if it worked on his computer it should on mine, but seldom if ever gave me a chance to show him, nice man, but had absolutely no clues installed an IM program that when I was in the window for was totally and completely silent but he could mouse around with it so I should be able to do so, none of the four cursors produced sound that was meaningful, not even blank. After it popped up one time to many making me need to start a report for the fourth time, I uninstalled it, can't use it, was told by the training department for the company that they knew it did not work and by a tech that he could use it so what was my problem. It was a remote deal, and normally that has worked for me in the past but this person never tried to truly understand, said he had worked with another Jaws user and blamed the whole problem on Internet Explorer 11 and told me to downgrade, can't do that or at least have not been able to because there is no old version on this relatively new computer. At least my late husband tried to understand and kept a demo of Jaws on his computer so he could work on problems I could not solve alone to see if there really was a problem or a way to get around it. Sometimes his description of how everything was laid out helped tremendously. What I get lately is on the far right or on the left about half way down... Then they listen when I pull up a links list or tab forever before I find what they were talking about or never find it. I could accept some problems if I were new to Jaws but have used it since 1998. Where I in Window Eyes which I do have on one computer here, I could see them saying I don't know the program well, I do not know it, have played around with it for a couple of hours one weekend, it isn't a horrible program but the command structure is so different that I can't really make progress and would never put it on the work computer where production is the name of the game. I have tried to learn scripting on a couple of occasions but, have not been able to spend a lot of time with it, so although I can modify one if necessary I can't figure how to write complex ones that may solve some of my issues, but based on what I have seen probably not.

Here is what happens. I have her listen to what JAWS is saying, and then she will take the mouse and try to let me hear what she is doing. However, as soon as she starts moving the mouse pointer, JAWS causes the print on the screen to move all around so that she cannot even use the mouse. As soon as I turn JAWS off, she is able to use the mouse just fine. The problem is that I am not able to hear what she is doing, so I never learn how to do it for myself. That is what people are trying to say. It would be nice if the screen didn't move all around and other weird activity when a sighted person is moving the mouse around. This is something that really needs brought up to FS and I am so glad you are talking about this. All of you have a great one. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit:

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS sighted assistance Job site
I will be 63 in July, had sort of been thinking of retiring at 62 before my husband passed so we could spend quality time when he felt reasonably well but, he passed at the end of May last year so retirement seems like a very lonely place for me right now but this new job (my job of 38 years was outsourced) it a challenge, and try as I might, I just am not happy at the end of each day. Hopefully I can hang in until my 90 days is up, after that I will be straight production and no way will I make enough, although they tried to tell me in January that I would. I am tempted every day to just give it up. Most of the reason is the lack of accessibility and the attitude that if I have the problem and can't solve it with Jaws myself then too bad.

Rose Combs, There is two reasons that I retired. One being my age and old enough to do so. The second is that the job-site was becoming what you are dealing with. For 14 years with Each level of Jaws and some script writing, the program worked just fine on all levels! I am not a Braille person so those machines did nothing for me. Though if one knew Braille as two other blind persons' working at my site. They went far, just burned out. Anyway the last 8 months they were making big time changes in the format. Exactly what you are talking about. Some scripting worked but as soon as up-dates were added then gone. JAVA of their own had some to do with it but and yet it was the battle of the pull down of a window inside a window inside a window. If this is what you are dealing with good luck. Internal e-mailing and fast mailing by the bullenton board was never a issue... So good luck!

Here is what happens. I have her listen to what JAWS is saying, and then she will take the mouse and try to let me hear what she is doing. However, as soon as she starts moving the mouse pointer, JAWS causes the print on the screen to move all around so that she cannot even use the mouse. As soon as I turn JAWS off, she is able to use the mouse just fine. The problem is that I am not able to hear what she is doing, so I never learn how to do it for myself. That is what people are trying to say. It would be nice if the screen didn't move all around and other weird activity when a sighted person is moving the mouse around. This is something that really needs brought up to FS and I am so glad you are talking about this. All of you have a great one.

[JAWS-Users] Latest JAWS 16 Update and Thunderbird Bug
Hello Group, I seem to have found a problem with the latest release of the JAWS 16 update and viewing a large e-mail message in Thunderbird. For example I receive this group as a digest message (last message was 123K in size), and when I open it and for instance, hold down the down arrow key to move rapidly down into the message, JAWS get sluggish and eventually freezes and then crashes. So first I tried installing the previous update. The installer told me I had to remove the current version before it would allow an install of the older version. So I uninstalled JAWS and installed the January update release. Still broken. Then I uninstalled JAWS again and also removed my current settings. installed the January update release again. Still broken. This time, uninstalled JAWS again, my settings, and additionally, the shared components. Installed the January update release, and the problem was gone. So apparently, whatever file contains the bug, is put into the shared components folder so simply removing the latest update and installing an older version won't fix the problem as the file(s) with the problem remains within the shared components. So, not knowing what other Freedom applications I may have broken by removing the shared file components, I had to recover from a previous back up which fortunately I had made recently. So there went an entire day of fooling around just to get back to where I was the day before. I will report this to tech support so they can look into the problem and hopefully fix it. I just wanted to let the group know that if you find an issue with the latest update, you might have to remove the shared components before installing an older release to resolve the problem.
