Hi Brian,

I have noticed that sometimes I have to wait a very long time for the Excel
ribbon to respond at work.  We are thinking that it might have something to
do with things that are going on in the background with the server, or
possibly resources with the computer.  Just some food for thought.

JAWS 17 Latest Build

Hi List,

 

I have someone in my company running the latest build of JAWS 17 on Windows
7 SP1, and the Ribbon in Excel 2010 becomes unresponsive.  This issue has
been going on the last few weeks.  Restarting the computer seems to fix the
issue temporarily.  When I was called to their office, they opened an Excel
document that fetched information from a database.  I attempted to access
the Ribbon with Alt and the arrow keys.  I can access the main tabs but
cannot go down another level into the details of each tab.  They open this
same excel file daily to look at the information generated from the
database.  I saw some add-ins that were running.  So, I disabled them and
restarted.  As of right now, the Ribbon seems to be working ok.  Any idea as
to why this may be happening?  

 

Thanks for your help,

Microsoft still has the $69 per year subscription available.  It is for one pc,

Did you/she reboot again to see if the problem self-corrected? 

I vaguely remember having a situation years ago where JAWS didn't speak at
the password field. My workaround was to count the seconds from a certain
recognizable point in the reboot process, perhaps a certain click or just a
pause in the grinding. 

One option is always to do a JAWS repair.

Hi Everyone,

 

Someone at my work doesn't hear JAWS at the logon screen in Windows 7 Pro.
She logged out successfully yesterday.  However, when she went to login
today, there was no speech.  The cursor was in the password field when I sat
down at her computer.  Once I logged her in, JAWS started up.  I checked the
automatic settings for JAWS, and it is set to "Automatically start JAWS at
the Logon Screen."  She is using the latest build of JAWS 17 64-bit.  Any
ideas as to why JAWS wasn't running?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Brian

Re: [JAWS-Users] ESD Electronic Software Delivery

I do know Microsoft likes to deliver Software through electronic Software

see it on my windows 10 system. Could you tell me more specifically if it is it

[JAWS-Users] Force JAWS to use Single-user License instead of Network License

2016-06-16 Thread Brian Prewitt
Hi List,

 

Does anyone know how I can force JAWS to use the single-user serial number
on a laptop instead of the network serial number that we have?  JAWS goes
into 40-minute mode when one of my users is off of our network.  Even though
he has a single-user license installed on his machine.

 

Your help is greatly appreciated,

 

Brian
