[JAWS-Users] Odd Windows Mail behavior question.
Jaws 9, Vista and Windows Mail. When I type in the subject line everything previously typed on the line is spoken as the typed letter is added. Peculiar and difficult to concentrate on what one is typing. Has anyone else seen this? Can I get rid of it? Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] wireless router network problems
Lenard, are you presently connecting with the Ethernet cable through the router or directly to the modem? Do we assume you are using a notebook computer or are you running a wireless WIFI radio on a desktop and is it installed? Is the radio turned on? If so you will need to work with that to make a wireless connection to your wireless router. - Original Message - From: Leonard Morris lmorris1...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2009 6:04 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] wireless router network problems After reinstaling XP pro I set about the task of reconfiguring my D-links 524 wireless router. I went through all the steps via the internet and noticed everything was still set to the previous configuration and the final step said that the router was being restarted. The problem is when I go to controll panel and network setting I am unable to open it to input wireless router settings. I tried hitting the enter key, routing jaws to pc and doing a left mouse click, and routing jaws to pc and right click to open network connection. None of these atempts are successful. So, as for now I have to use the ethernet cable to get to the internet. Any theories and solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] the questionmark does not speak like normal
There are some programmes like Microsoft Word which have peculiar settings, things like Smart Quotes and such which substitute the quote or the apostrophe character, that is, the ASCII equivalent number with something which produces a graphic looking like an apostrophe or a quote or sometimes some other characters in other contexts, possibly a fancy question mark. Sighted people consider these unique, interesting or different because visually they are not difficult to interpret. Jaws however doesn't necessarily know what that particular numeric value is supposed to represent. Further, the sighted user can, if desired recognize it to be a question mark in that particular context. It may have a different significance in another context but if Jaws assumed it to be a question mark the blind person could not know it was anything other than the usual question mark character. Usually this would not probably matter, these things though are a matter of discretion. I for won dislike when software and/or hardware designers decide I am too delicate to hear swear words and build in alternative pronunciations or when they assume that all two letter combinations represent the short forms of American state names. It is like when you use JawsKey + TopRow 4. There is a list of graphic characters there you can choose to insert into your document. It is far from a complete list of available graphics and probably depends on application as to what many of them mean. The thing to remember is that computers use numbers. What those numbers mean or how they will be rendered on the screen depends on the context. There is a lot of general agreement about what a lot of those numbers will mean across a number of contexts. Most word processors agree much of the time on what they mean, usually e-mail is limited to the ASCII set when plane text is selected however this is why files created in one application are not usually accessible to another application. Even different versions of a particular application don't always agree on what the numbers mean. You need to do things to a Word7 file and probably lose some features if you wish to view it in Word2003 for example. Wasn't it just here on this list recently we discussed reading .PDF files and the various contexts Adobe uses? One could probably create a Jaws dictionary rule by highlighting one of those odd characters and copying it into the dictionary with a created pronunciation rule. I am not sure how that would play in the case of the apostrophe since many of those pronunciations probably include the entire word.

I also believe that Donny also had this problem way back when. Not sure if he fixed the problem or not, but if he did, perhaps he'd like to share the fix with the rest of us. Or, if anyone else has a fix for this, I would appreciate the help, as I'm sure others would as well. I'm using the latest build of Jaws 10, with Windows XP home, and Internet explorer 8, and it has been doing this since explorer 7, and, most notably in send space files I've downloaded, where the file name has a particular apostrophe in the name. Now, as I think about it, it seems that I can arrow through the characters that have replaced the apostrophe, and delete them one at a time, then add in the apostrophe, and it then is spoken correctly. Could this have anything to do with it? Just thinking aloud here, thanks folks. Thanks all.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Opening a PDF file
Actually it stands for portable document format (PDF) Originally it started as a method of creating one standard which various printers could render at a time when the output from a word processor to a printer depended on the printers and the codes one could send to the printer. As many printers had unique codes the appearance of a printed document might vary a lot from one printer to another. If the document was converted to the .PDF format it could be rendered in a common way regardless of the word processor which created it. Of course it has all evolved a long way from that since. Those documents which appear to be blank to our screen reading technology but which are text on the screen to sighted people are like that because they are pictures of text. To understand that you need to understand that text created and rendered in say Microsoft Word or HTML (Hypertext mark-up language) is actually a series of numbers which the programmes interpret as letters. Jaws can intercept those numbers and render them as letters. Text though which is a picture is simply a series of dots or lack of dots on the screen which Jaws cannot differentiate from the dots which might make up an image of your pet cat. An OCR (Optical Character Recognition ) programme can assess those dots and try to recognize patterns as letters and if it can do this create a rendering of text. This works the same way as when you place a paper with text on a scanner, scan it in where it too is rendered as an image for the OCR software to process. One reason why people like those formats is that it is very difficult to edit or otherwise change the content of the document. Another reason is that what ever word processor one has, downloading the .PDF reader which is free will render the document readable to the sighted anyway. Hope this helps understand those apparently blank .PDF files.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Am getting far more information than I want
Hi Jewel, I haven't been following this closely so might be a little off. When you use Insert + S it should cycle through three choices. The three are: None highlighted all You stop on highlighted. Now this won't stick unless you save it in a configuration. If this is happening in all programmes you want to save it in the Default configuration. If it only is happening in Outlook Express then you may wish to save it there. When you are in Outlook express you open the Configuration Manager with Insert + 6. that is the number six on the row of number keys above the letters just above and between the T and the Y. Jaws should say something like: Jaws configuration Manager and then the name of the configuration file, in your case probably something like Outlook Express.jcf. I am running Vista and Windows Mail and Jaws 9 so it may be just a little different I can't remember. Once that is open go to the Settings menu, the shortcut is ALT + S. Jaws should say something like Settings. You can as well press ALT, then arrow once to the right. Now arrow down once to User Settings ... and whack Enter. Arrow to the right three or four positions until you hear Screen Echo. Something will be checked, arrow up or down until Jaws says Screen Echo Echo highlighted text checked. Hit escape once highlighted text is checked then press CTRL + S to save the configuration then ALT + F4 to close the configuration manager. This should fix the problem if it is what we all suspect it to be. Hope this helps and that I got it explained adequately. Good luck. - Original Message - From: Jewel jewelbla...@xtra.co.nz To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, April 24, 2009 9:07 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Am getting far more information than I want David!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Adobe saying empty document
It is really very simple. An empty document is just a picture of a document. Unlike a text document as say created in Word where each letter is represented by a distinct computer number which leaves no ambiguity about what that computer number represents, a picture of a document is a series of darker and lighter smudges on a screen. When you print it you form a facsimile of the image. when you scan that with an OCR programme like K1000 or Open Book or Abbey reader or omnipro the image is processed and the programme attempts to recognize patterns it can recognize as letters and spaces. When you use the so-called virtual printer you are just telling K1000 or Open Book to use that PDF picture of the document rather than print and acquire another picture of the printed document from the scanner. How good the OCR will be depends on the quality of the image. It should be better direct from the PDF than printing and rescanning the picture as a certain amount of quality will be lost at each conversion between formats. Where the original electronic version, that is the file created by the word processor is not available an image is the only alternative for sending the document. The sender could print and scan and OCR the document of course complete with the errors their program might introduce. Those digitized documents from archives are all images, pictures of the original complete with doodles in the margins, coffee stains and thumb prints and all. They are not retyped documents. They might as well be .GIF or .JPG images. - Original Message - From: Marilyn Walker mlw1...@sbcglobal.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 4:25 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Adobe saying empty document Mike, I had this happen to me last week when I tried to access a pdf document from the University of IllinoisHistorical archives.

[JAWS-Users] ALT-F4 not working
It started happening again using a USB keyboard on my notebook. All sorts of ALT related functions began failing. Because I had several things opened I didn't wish to reboot the computer so I removed the USB plug, moved it to another port and after the disconnect sound replaced the plug. It took a moment and the computer said something about detecting a device and loading drivers after which all of the ALT functions returned. As I am still waiting for a new keyboard for my computer I don't know what that keyboard was doing. I still don't know if it has anything to do with what Jaws does to the keyboard input or if it is a Windows keyboard issue. Hope this at least assures who ever else is observing this phenomenon.

Re: [JAWS-Users] alt f4
Recently I have been having this happen to me as well. While I have Jaws 10 I haven't yet upgraded from 9 PRO running under VISTA. Having sloshed a coffee through the notebook keyboard I am still waiting for a new one to be installed and am using a USB keyboard and it began happening about that time, just a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes unloading and reloading JWS will fix it but usually I have to reboot. I have also noticed that ALT-Arrow doesn't necessarily move me back and forth along Web pages and sometimes Space Bar does not click buttons. While I cant explain the spacebar issue I am guessing something is happening with the ALT key.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Superscript
I wonder what that was composed on? The character probably looks a bit like an apostrophe and might have been selected from a list of symbols by the author rather than from the keyboard. I am not familiar with the PDA keyboards to know if they have an apostrophe key. If composed on something like a smart phone one selects from a menu of symbols and that may have been the one the author selected because of it's appearance. - Original Message - From: Mich m...@ntl.sympatico.ca To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 11:33 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Superscript hi yes jaws is saying this at my end as well. from Mich. - Original Message - From: Donnie Parrett deparr...@prtcnet.org To: JAWS-Users jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 11:11 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Superscript I would appreciate it if someone would read the devotional below and let me know if you are having the same problem that I am having. It seems to be that everywhere there is an apostrophe, JAWS is saying the word superscript. I would love to know how to stop JAWS from doing that. Thanks for your help. Here is the devotional. Daily E-Votional Thursday, Mar. 19 John 8:21-32 I am continually reminded of the power of a Christian community. Especially at the time of loss, one¹s community of faith help the heartbroken find their way thru the difficult time. Personally, I don¹t know what I would have done without my faith or my community of faith in all of the things I¹ve been thru in life. I think that my children have learned the same thing. The Christian community becomes the support we need to hold us up when it feels like we have nothing left to give. The Christian community just falls into action and is ready to step up and do their part when they see a brother or sister hurting. It may be through the gift of meals or just spending time listening. It doesn¹t take years of college or special degrees to act in love toward those who are hurting. Today and tomorrow I will be officiating at two services of witness to the resurrection. As I watch the love of the congregation spill over and around those who are hurting, it just makes me proud of the community of faith. 23 Jesus said, ³You¹re tied down to the mundane; I¹m in touch with what is beyond your horizons. You live in terms of what you see and touch. I¹m living on other terms. 24 I told you that you were missing God in all this. You¹re at a dead end. If you won¹t believe I am who I say I am, you¹re at the dead end of sins. You¹re missing God in your lives.² For some, maybe most, seeing is believing. If there is not hard and fast proof, it is difficult to wrap our heads around what is and what isn¹t. The disciples were confused with the messages Jesus was giving. Some of it sounded so out there; outside of their own experiences. Two thousand years later, we are still a people who want hard and fast evidence. When have you been in a very rough place in life? Who were the people who stayed in touch with you? What are some of the things they did to try to make you feel better? When have you been overwhelmed with the care that others have given you? When have you witnessed a friend being in need? What sort of ways did you try to comfort them? Who are some people you know who are in need of your support this day? Have a day! For the Confirmation Group: If church people showed up at your house, would you be glad to see them or worried that they were going to do something weird? When have you seen church people help others? In what ways do you think you might be able to help a woman who is elderly and who lives alone? Do you believe that a church exists to serve you or a church exists to serve others?

You can arrow down through that list to uninstall Jaws but as it is the last selection in my installation at least, just arrow up one. Not sure but I suspect that will do it. NOTE: There is a selection for the Packmate Desktop among the tools as well, this might be useful to you in configuring your Jaws 10. One more right and you should find Explore Settings. There are some braille options there which might assist your start-up issues as well, I haven't fiddled with them. I suppose I should install Jaws 10 and then the new update. - Original Message - From: Doug Leavens dfleav...@ebtech.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 10:40 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] How do I de-install jfw 9?

[JAWS-Users] sluggish input behaviour question particularly at google.
On my work computer when I call up google and type into the search field the characters I type don't echo back into the edit field without long delay and frequently not at all. That installation is Jaws 7 I believe IE 6 and Windows XP Pro. I have run all sorts of combinations of Jaws and IE on Win95, 98 XP Pro and Home and now Vista but this is the only time I have experienced this behaviour. Any one know what might be happening?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jfw bootup problem
Hi, I just had a look and ... Open the Jaws menu (JawsKey + J Arrow down to Utilities and whack Enter. Arrow down once to Synthesizer and braille and whack Enter again. There is a tree view. You can modify braille devices there. The PackMate is the first one there, you can apparently add, remove and I think modify it and many many others. Hope this helps, I think you can disable it there and if not maybe you are expected to connect the display before booting up or maybe you have to repair your Jaws installation and include the braille display in the set-up to get the drivers for it loaded.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Questionabout wireless cards and not being able too connect when visiting while I'm in Michigan.
Do these people have wireless routers connected to their cable modems? There is nothing against the law about connecting to a wireless point even if you have to guess at or fudge security passwords and such. If you go to the wireless network in control panel you should be able to find a choice to find wireless networks. If there is a transmitting wireless router within range of your computers radio it should show up in the list. Usually the router name also known as the SSID is shown and some indication as to if it is a open or secured network. If it is a secured network you will need to select the proper encryption protocol, encryption key and the correct password before you can connect. If an unsecured or open network you should be able to connect immediately. Remember though that they will have had to buy and install a wireless router which is essentially a duplex radio transmitter and receiver. If they can connect without plugging directly into their cable modem then you will be able to do so too. Otherwise you will have to plug into their modem and configure your computer with their ISP provider gateway and DNS information.

The power supply dismounts from the case with 4 screws, the cover of the supply comes off with 4 flat-head Phillips screws, the fan is mounted to the back of the supply behind the grill with 4 plastic-tapping screws of a fairly large diameter. Taking out a supply means disconnecting the 40-pin motherboard connector, probably a 4-pin p4 connector, all power cables to your hard drive and floppy, and well make sure you know what you are doing before trying this at home.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan
Usually you will have to change the power supply. Although the fan can be separately replaced it is about as cheap to replace the entire power supply, usually a couple of bolts and the rest plug to the computer components. About a hundred bucks. Unless the computer gets really hot though it should continue to function. Of course once it does get hot you risk fire and irreparable damage to what remains of the power supply as well as all other components. Fire though is really of most concern, fire kills. - Original Message - From: Flor Lynch florl...@iol.ie To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 10:25 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan A replacement fan doesn't cost too much, and only a day or so's loss of work on the affected PC. - Original Message - From: Dale Leavens dleav...@puc.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 3:12 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer with broken fan I very much doubt that is slowing the computer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to open an attachment in outlook
HI, when you hit ALT-A you will hear a list of attachments, one or more. These are arranged along a row, arrow left to hear the second attachment if there is a second one and so on. When you are on the attachment you want to open hit enter on it. You will usually be prompted to open or save the attachment. To select that option you arrow up or down and click enter. If Windows knows what programme to open the attachment, Word for a .doc file, Adobe for a .pdf that sort of thing the file will be open in that programme.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking the Status of a Laptop Battery
JawsKey + Shift + b. Now this doesn't always work the same all of the time or on all computers. On this ThinkPad X series it reads the status when unplugged but doesn't seem to be able to find the spot when plugged in. I believe you have to have the battery meter showing in the system tray and you can always see it if it is there by opening that menu with JawsKey + F11. When looking at it that way you will also see if it is charging. After that it depends on the software and that depends on the computer. I can click on that and make changes to the battery settings like various power saving options. I have a second battery in my CD bay most of the time and I can see information about the status of each battery including age and how many times each has been cycled.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking the Status of a Laptop Battery
My point though is that you have to set that in the power settings otherwise it is not in the system tray. It is not in the system tray of Janet's acer and I haven't bothered to put it there. The touch pad is there in the system tray and I would like to be able to get it into the system tray of this Lenovo but there doesn't seem to be a setting for that. It does however have the pointer above the 'B' so the odd sighted passer can use it with the pad disabled If the battery meter is not in the system tray then the Jaws scripts to read it won't tell you the battery status. - Original Message - From: Patricia Dunbar patricia-dun...@sbcglobal.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 7:57 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking the Status of a Laptop Battery Yes, we too have an Acer laptop and the battery info is listed in the system's tray too.

The information the hot key offers is a percentage of charge and estimated hours of remaining operation. There are three notebook computers around here, an IBM, this Lenovo which is the new Chinese model and an acer. Their battery controls are all different but they all have an option to show battery status in the system tray. I believe that the Jaws scripts go look in the system tray for the battery status so this is an option you must have enabled. Janet's Acer does not presently have that enabled and I haven't bothered it only goes for an hour or a little better on the battery anyway, very nearly useless computer that way. When this one is plugged in and I use Jaws + Shift + B I get the message battery status not found.

Mine says that all of the time if the power cord is connected or if the power meter is not set up to show in the system tray. Try JawsKey + F11. Jaws should say: Select a system tray icon. Arrow down and listen for anything that mentions battery status. It may say plugged in or may say some percentage and charging but if it isn't there then the Jaws + Shift + B won't work and you will have to go into your control panel, find power and see if you can find an option to show it in the system tray.

It is a whole lot easier than that!!! Just move up and down the favorite list until you are on the one you wish to delete. Once Jaws speaks the one you want, and it may say selected or not selected. If Jaws says unselected just press space bar and it will say selected then press the delete key.

You simply use the up and down arrows to go through the links in your Favorites menu and press the Applications key when you find the one you want to delete. I do not use alt D to delete a bookmark. I am not sure if this works. I simply press the Applications key and then use the up or down arrows to find the delete option and then press enter. You will then be asked to confirm if you want to delete this bookmark. You should be able to move to the Yes or No options by pressing the up or down arrows. However, if your computer encounters a problem similar to mine, JAWS sometimes will not move through the options at this point. If this happens, I usually either minimize the current window and reopen it or simply left click with the mouse. Hope this helps. KB wrote: Hi thanks but how does one highlight with Jaws?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Scripting: Personal Jaws Startup
I well remember this coming up five or six years ago although I don't recall most of the details. The thing to be remembered is that this is a form of software hacking reverse engineering. The original machine code is being altered and strictly speaking, even loosely speaking I suppose it is in breach of copyright. It involves altering the distributed executable code of Jaws. Those familiar with byte-to-byte editing of 386 Hex code will know how it is done.

I use Google as my primary search engine, and starting yesterday, for no apparent reason that I can determine, JAWS started announcing Promote button and Remove button after every heading in the search results when I arrow down line by line from a heading. However, hitting Space or Enter on these objects has no effect, so they cannot be activated. I have not changed any settings in IE 7. This is a minor annoyance, but I would still like to know what the heck is going on. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws freezing sometimes in vista?
This is essentially my experience. Arrowing about too quickly seemed to be the problem however for a time there was one Web site that was crashing Jaws. I suspect they had something that was refreshing or doing something to one of the cursors, I was hearing a ding at about 10 or 15 seconds then after a couple of minutes Jaws would die. I sent them an e-mail and after Christmas they seemed to do something to fix it. The ding sound is the same one one gets when hitting the bottom or top of a document, I wonder if maybe the mouse cursor was triggering this but because I was using the virtual cursor in Internet Exploder, Jaws wasn't jumping about with the cursor. Not sure how that would crash Jaws but the only way I had to get it back was to reboot the computer. Interesting possibilities. - Original Message - From: Don and Cher Bosch oneagleswin...@bellsouth.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 9:20 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws freezing sometimes in vista?

Re: [JAWS-Users] battery question and jaws
Hi Karen, Computers implement power schemes in different ways. It may be that you have to set warnings and other alarms in the power manager application on your computer. You will find this in the control panel. There are a number of things you can set there, things like what the computer does when you close the top, turning off Bluetooth and network radios to preserve power, now long to wait during inactivity to turn off the screen and yes, if warnings should be display in the system tray. You may even have to set it to show the battery gauge in the system tray where you will be able to find it when you want to check battery status. I believe, though I might be wrong, that the script to show the battery status invoked with JAWS + Shift + B (B for battery) not V for Valerie) will only work if the battery gauge is showing in the system tray. I hope this is helpful. - Original Message - From: KB karen...@comcast.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 2:55 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] battery question and jaws nothing appeared Karen and Harpo the seeing eye dog - Original Message - From: Chris Hallsworth christopherhallswort...@googlemail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 2:50 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] battery question and jaws It should by announcing the fact due to a baloon appearing in the notification area. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: christopherhallswort...@googlemail.com MSN: ch9...@hotmail.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 - Original Message - From: KB karen...@comcast.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 7:45 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] battery question and jaws Hi folks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Help with Staples.ca please
Ah that did it! Thanks to all who helped. I never think to go to those verbosity settings. I don't know what language Jaws thought it was reading, it certainly wasn't French or any sort of Spanish I recognize. Must be something in the font used or maybe some extraneous HTML coding?

Highlight (select) the offending text, go to the format menu (ALT-O. The first item should be Font. Hit enter, the current font should be the default. Tab across to style, arrow up or down to normal and hit enter. All of the selected text will be made normal.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Freedom Scientific
Hi Victor, As is so often the case the moderator interjection is likely to generate a flurry of messages of debate well exceeding the offending topic. In fairness I think I understand some of the moderator concern, past lists have got way out of line with one or two complainers filling up inboxes when what they should probably do is register their complaint and then shut up. Most lists have a couple, they should probably have their own bashing forum. Historically then there is precedent for control of the direction of discussion to keep the list viable and the significant contributors interested and contributing. There then is also an arbitrary judgment of what constitutes inappropriate content and tone of moderation. The key here being the root word, moderation. There are dozens of threads with dozens of messages which go no where but seem to be tolerated. Well, I am not willing to moderate a list so I figure you just have to live with the judgment of those who will. Just why Freedom Scientific may or may not monitor this list is a matter for some speculation. they didn't always. Duxbury and K1000 and WayFinder and NFB Reader for example do maintain active lists for their products, who knows why they have chosen that business model. A mailing list though is also not a particularly valid method of judging product acceptability. I would say it is more useful in determining how people use the product and where they are running into trouble with it. Monitoring the how can I messages is probably an indicator of convenience of use or understandability of the interface or even the required features. The programming lists for example are full of discussion on how to use and how to modify Jaws to function with the IDE programming environments of programming languages and database products none of which ever turns up on this list. It may be why we get access to ITunes for example and not Visual Studio where people are earning a living or why there isn't really good native access to Nokia PC Suite never referred to here on this list but which must be a substantial product base for blind computer and cell phone users. Your points are sound however it is probably also reasonable that debate on the business model be direct with Freedom Scientific. they will be counting up the beans to decide where they will put their resources and what ever the rest of us think about that among ourselves is not relevant. Beginning almost immediately our next computers won't be 64 bit XP just as developing new technology for vinyl records is redundant. There is still a lot out there but fortunes will not be made in supporting it. I am guessing though that the 64 bit debate was about to fizzle out anyway. - Original Message - From: Victor victor.gouv...@rogers.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 8:36 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Freedom Scientific Hi Rick, I debated writing you off-list on this, but thought that others might want to chime in on this also. You stated in your moderator's message that Eric and other representatives of Jaws join this list and others like it to get a feel for how their products are being received. I don't mind that, as I know several lists that have that going on also, but the fact is, how can they get an accurate response to how their products are doing out there if we're only going to discuss the program's positive notes. That would be like a company offering a feedback or opinions forum to their website, then editing the content so that only positive opinions were displayed. The fact is, we were not debating FS company policy, we were offering our opinion on the 64 bit version of Jaws, and it's lack of support for XP. Should we all simply comment to the effect that yippee, let's all go out and convert from XP to Vista, because that's where Jaws is heading? Should we all simply forego all our computers in favour of a new computer that will handle Vista, simply because we want to take advantage of the 64 bit architecture, again, because Jaws will not support XP's version of the 64 bit architecture? I'm sorry, but I cannot sit back and let Eric think that everyone on this list approves of this move, as it kind of leaves those of us who prefer XP out. If we want to give Eric an accurate representation of how Jaws is being received by it's users, one should not allow him to gauge that reception from this list, but solely from the feedback forms on their site, and only from those who wish to give their opinions of their products. I'm not sure if this makes sense or not. All I know is that we cannot just allow everyone to let Eric think that everyone on the list approves of this, and I think this is the easiest way of showing this, not having to take the extra step of going to their website, finding the feedback form, filling it out and pressing the submit button, or what

Although annoying even this would be tolerable but after several movements from the index page to individual items jaws will suddenly quit. I can't seem to bring it back, as far as I can tell the computer locks fully. Only solution is to power the machine down and bring it back up.

One has to find Skype, ALT + C for Call menu, arrow down once to Answer and press ENTER then Press enter again on the caller name. With the damn ringing it is difficult to hear Jaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] converting cassettes to cd
Ah come on! All kinds of people offer a service on this list. It is the purpose of the list isn't it? Aren't you and your moderators providing a service? don't you offer assistance and advice all the time? Admittedly recording analog to digital music isn't exactly Jaws related except that most all of the subscribers to this list use Jaws to access the facilities of their computers and being blind aren't in a position to just order the appropriate equipment and software with any certainty it will meet their needs or be useable by them as sighted people might reasonably expect when they buy the same equipment all of which probably makes the topic very Jaws related after all. There are USB record players out there too for recording vinyl analog records to digital directly. They and the cassette players convert the analog signals to digital before feeding them through the USB port. I would be interested to know if they use their own software to create the computer files and, if the tape or record players are controlled by the computer, that is, turned on and off in response to the software, all that stuff. Does Jaws recognize the interface and controls? Now if the fellow with this equipment would be so kind as to contact me off list to discuss these and probably other topics around the subject I would be very much obliged.

Re: [JAWS-Users] SP3 Word
Do you have the search set up to show system files and hidden files?

I of course followed the instructions mentioned in the email to the letter, but no matches are ever found for normal.dot. I know where it is as I found 2 occurrances of it in a folder on the computer's C drive. One is the Normal.dot and the other is, $normal.dot. Sould I do a new search with the $ sign first, or go directly to where the normal.dot is and delete it from there? I used the windows key, and then went to the search submenu and typed in, normal.dot and tab to search all files/folders, looked in the Cdrive this is the method I did to perform this search.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws and Skype
Hi, Something has happened to Skype both on my Windows XP Home computer and on this Vista computer which I don't understand. I have selected hot keys and Alt-Pageup to answer, Alt-Pagedown to cancel. It doesn't work on either computer, I did select Save in that dialogue. I also set Extended Keyboard and Simplified Graphics in the View menu I think that was found. They don't work! Unlike in the old days when I hit enter on a contact I get into the Chat window I would as soon not have chat at all! The only way to initiate a call is to go to the call menu and it seems too that this is the only way to hang up a call. Is this the way it has to be or is there something else I need to do? The XP Home machine is using Jaws 7, the Vista is using Jaws 9.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unable to format a floppy disk.
I have not been following this thread so if this has already been addressed I am sorry. Have you set the write protect tab to the off position? With the diskette in with the label side up there is a hole on the left corner nearest you. On the underside there is a hole too. If the holes line up so you could push a small item through like a thin drinking straw then it is set to write protect and the diskette cannot be written to. There is a small slider on the underside of the diskette a small square which slides either toward the far edge, the edge where the larger slider which protects the diskette surface or withdraws toward the edge nearest you. When slid away it covers the hole and permits writing to the diskette. Usually though diskettes these days come already formatted. If this information has already been covered I am sorry. Just that I use diskettes nearly daily to transfer data from an old DOS machine to a Windows XP until I get time to really make the application play well with Jaws on the Windows machine something I haven't got around to for nearly 8 years now.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Moving folders and messages from one computertoanother?
Thanks Reese, I didn't know about the transfer wizard however I have not been successful yet. I am moving from XP Home to Vista Pro, the programmes are a little different but neither do they seem to work well for me. I thought I might transfer the few MP3 files I wanted, a couple of Word documents and my mail folders and saved messages. when I selected MP3 it grabbed a huge number of CDs my son had recorded in Itunes, they are of no use to me since Itunes isn't of use to me and isn't on this computer anyway. That be as it may, several megs were compressed and stored on a memory stick as instructed but then when that was inserted into this Vista machine and the programme started there didn't seem to be an option to retrieve the .dat file off of the memory stick.It told me to insert the media, I did, hit OK then it kept going round and round until I closed the programme. Anyway just knowing the programmes are there is a much better start. I can manually move the files I need to except apparently the e-mail messages and structure, there must be a way though. I didn't have any real trouble moving the contacts using export and import. - Original Message - From: Reese [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 11:24 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Moving folders and messages from one computertoanother?

[JAWS-Users] Moving folders and messages from one computer to another?
Good evening Listers, This may be obvious but it is not to me. I want to move folders and their messages from Outlook Distress 6 on one computer to Windows Mail on another. I successfully exported the address book imported it into Windows contacts but when I go to export Messages and Folders I am never prompted for a location or offered a file name or anything. I am trying to shift things using a USB memory stick which has so far been pretty successful.

What is Picasa2 on this Windows Vista Computer? I bring it up but Jaws doesn't see a thing. Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] how do I?
Carla, Is all you want to do is to copy the actual file names? The usual highlight or select will try to paste the files themselves to the new location not just the names. I suppose you could put the list of files into the Jaws on-screen virtual viewer and then copy that to a document like a Word or an e-mail document. - Original Message - From: David Ferrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 11:37 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] how do I?

Christy, I Google this and everything I find involves editing the registry. By default, the balloon tips should be enabled. So unless you have disabled them, they should already be on. There could be an option in Jaws to enable the announcement, but I am not aware of any. There is an option to enable or disable the tool tips, but this is different that the balloon tips. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christy Walker Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 5:43 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] I do not hear the notificationRe: How do you turnon balloon notifications in win xp?

What type of notifications are you not hearing? I realize that you are referring to the baloon messages, but are you talking about something like Windows update and similar items? If so, then I am not sure if there is a way to turn those types of notifications on and off. There may be, but I don't recall seeing that option anywhere.

Re: [JAWS-Users] audio CD
Try this: Put your CD into the drive, when the list of files comes up select one by pressing spacebar then go to the file menu either the ALT key or ALT-F. Arrow down to Open With and press enter on that. You will get a list of options, your media player may be among them, if not then one selection will be to select a programme or something like that. You should be able to select the player of your choice there. Another option is to open my Computer and arrow down to the CD Drive. Go to the file menu or right click on it and then select Properties. You should be able to select AutoPlay from there if memory serves. Hope this helps. the - Original Message - From: Rich Hamel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2008 7:58 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] audio CD When I went to the system tray in checked on the volumes, I tabbed through all of the choices and none of the mutes were checked.

When in Windows Media Player press Alt-P to bring up the play menu. Use up arrow a couple of times and press enter on the volume menu choice. Use down arrow and find out if the mute choice is checked. If so then press enter to remove the checkmark. If function key 7 was accidentally pushed while playing an audio file in Windows Media Player then the program might have been muted. If you are using a different program than Windows Media Player then also check the program to see if there is a mute button in the menu with the controls that might have been pressed. Take care.
