Re: [JAWS-Users] System Configuration Warning Screen

[Mike B.]

Hi David,

No, once turned off that message disappears & has to be brought back using a 
command prompt or by going into the registry to edit the value.  I got it 
back via the command prompt, but both the command prompt, & what to change 
in the registry are below.  Here are my notes:

From: Mike B.

Restore the restart prompt in System Configuration Utility
1. Open the command prompt, & paste the string of text  below into command 
prompt.
2. Press enter, exit command prompt, & reboot the computer.

CMD /K REG DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MsConfig" /v 
NoRebootUI


http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/restore-the-restart-prompt-in-the-system-configuration-utility-msconfig/

1. Click Start, type the following command and press ENTER:

CMD /K REG DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MsConfig" /v 
NoRebootUI /f

(You may copy the above command-line and paste it in the Start, Search box, 
instead of typing it manually.)

2. You should see the following message in the Command Prompt:

The operation completed successfully.

3. Type EXIT to close the Command Prompt Window.

USING THE REGISTRY EDITOR

Alternately, you can edit the registry directly to remove the value. Use 
these steps:

1. Click Start, type Regedit.exe and press ENTER

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Shared Tools \ MsConfig

2. Delete the value named NoRebootUI in the right pane.

3. Exit the Registry Editor.

Hi,



I've been having a lot of trouble with e-mail programs. I use to use Eudora,
but it no longer works; I've been trying to use Windows Live Mail, but about
20 percent of the time it will not let me open an e-nail with the message,
"A problem occured while trying to open this message. A problem has occured.
Please try again."



I have tried to download Thunderbird, but have been unsuccessful installing
it.  Years ago, I downloaded Thunderbird, and it installed like other
programs and it worked.



I Think that Outlook is too expensive, especially since I have to buy a copy
for all three of my machines.



Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[JAWS-Users] Sound Card Diagnostics Question

[jyandt.martin]

Evening all.

I have a Dell laptop, and periodically, JAWS will stop speaking. I can get 
other sounds, i.e. the tone when a usb device is unplugged, etc. I am uncertain 
as to whether it is my software, or my sound card. If it is my jaws program, or 
my sound card, but Can anyone tell me if there is a way to run a diagnostics on 
either one? I am using JAWS 17, on a Dell laptop, with Windows 10. Thanks in 
advance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] What bit torrent clients do you all use?

[Fernando Gregoire]

As far as I know, despite some new functions like integrated codecs and
player, multi-device synchronization compatibility and built-in anti-virus,
the only you'd fix upgrading to Pro is the ads.
It is true that Name column contents aren't read by JAWS nor NVDA. Is
something about this on the Utorrent forums?

touch keyboard to start dictating. Tap it again to stop dictation.

 

 

You can also stop dictating at any time by saying "stop dictation."

Re: [JAWS-Users] e-mail programs

[George Martinez Sr]

I have only read a couple of messages in this thread but I just saw your
comment about how expensive Outlook is, especially since you have 3
machines.  
I believe you are thinking of the $69 copy for 1 machine.  I use the
$100annual version and load it onto FIVE machines.  I could also pay $9.95
per month for the same.  For this I get the entire Microsoft Office Suite of
programs with Outlook.
