Re: [JAWS-Users] OmniPage 15
Hi Steven, I will check out ABBYY Fine reader. Do you know if there is a free version or does it have to be purchased? does anyone know if there is a free scan program?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon funkiness.
Hi Rose, May I make a suggestion? I created a spreadsheet with the following: Column 1 is the name for which the password is attached to. Column 2 is my user name. Column 3 is my password. Column 4 is the account number for sites with it. Column 5 is optional which I use for other pertinent information. I then copy the spreadsheet to a flash disk which I keep handy if I don't remember a particular user name or password. Believe me, I have a bunch! Once the saved password spreadsheet is copied, then you removed permanently the original from your computer. Don't forget to update your spreadsheet on the flash disk every time you add or change a password. This may sound tedious, but I have been saved many times over with this method. Others may suggest a simpler way to remember password. HTH Lennie At 04:36 PM 1/4/2013, you wrote: Nothing upsets me more on my computer than when cookies get deleted or turned off.

[JAWS-Users] what is Windows Ultimate?
Hi, I am in the process of purchasing a new Dell desktop computer with Windows7. I was considering the business class which I would have to upgrade my standard version of Jaws to the pro version. I normally would have purchased a new computer with home edition, but I want to avoid all the junk that comes with it and purchase one that meets my specific requirements. So, I am wondering what is windows ultimate and is that the better way to go instead of the business class? Is there a way to compare Ultimate with business class and home edition? Do I need the pro version of Jaws for Ultimate? One of the problem that I am having is to get the Dell rep include a second sound card for Jaws. Is it just as well to use an USB sound card for Jaws and is the quality just as good as a regular sound card? Sorry for a lot of questions, but I want to cover all my basis before I invest in a new computer and end up with something that I will not be happy with.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Repair
Hi Jerry, Here you go. Here is the correct procedure for repairing Jaws. Two methods, I got from another lister. Blank Here is the info. Just change the version or highlight your current version using browse. Follow the steps below; The steps below are the best, most in depth, and most thorough way of repairing Jaws according to Freedom Scientific Tech Support. 1. Place a copy of the Jaws executible version that you want to repair into the main root of the C drive. For example; If you are running Jaws11 most recent you would paste a copy of J11.0.1430-32bit.exe into the main root of the C drive. To open the main root of the C drive, go to the desktop, press enter on My Computer, press enter on Local disk C, and now you have the main root of the C drive open. 2. With the Jaws .exe pasted into the C drive, highlight the .exe , and press F2 as if you were going to edit this line of text. now press control + C to copy this Jaws executible, press escape to close the edit field, and press Alt + F4 to close the C drive. What you want to do is place just the title of the Jaws version into the Windows Run Dialogue box and not the file. If you were to place the Jaws executible into the Run box without copying as you did as per the instructions above you would have pasted the whole file into the Run Box instead of just the title. 3. Now that you have just the title copied to the clipboard, press Windows key + R to open the Run Dialogue Box. Type, remember to type a capitalC , C:\ without the quotes or spaces and press control + V to paste the Jaws title, press your end key to take the cursor to the end of the title and type in the following /type repair without the quotes but, with the spaces . Below is what your line of text should look / read like. C:\J11.0.1447-64bit.exe /type repair Read character by character to make sure you have put in the proper spaces, Forward back slashes and text. press the home key to go to the front of the title and press enter to start the repair. A 2nd way to do the same thing. 1. Use Windows key with R to bring up the run dialog box. 2. Use tab key to the browse button and press spacebar. 3. Browse to the downloaded JAWS setup file and press enter key. 4. Use tab key to move to where JAWS says open colon edit combo, press the end key and then press spacebar. 5. Type in /Type repair, (that is first type a slash followed immediately by the word type then a space and then the word repair. 6. Use tab key to the OK button and press enter key. 7. Follow the prompts. At 11:42 AM 9/3/2012, you wrote: To All Listers: Can anyone tell me the step by step instructions for doing a repair on JAWS version 11 using Windows Vista on a 32 bit system?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jumping PC cursor
Hi Joe, I finally think that my problem is resolved thanks for Freedom Scientific. I called them today and the technical support person using candem was able to fix the problem I think. I say I think because after moving around my computer, it appears to be working fine. I need a little more time to try it out. If you can, give technical support a call. I cannot tell you exactly what he did, but while a folder is open, he went to view and down arrow to customize this folder and did something there. He was moving around pretty fast and I didn't catch what he did. Anyway, let's hope that I do not have the problem anymore and that FS can help you. By the way, my problem is on my XP desktop computer and my windows7 laptop seems to be working fine. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] firefox and MLB
Hi, I listen to MLB usually on IE8 with no problems too. However, there were times that I had to use the same version of Firefox. What I found is that with IE8, I am automatically log on to MLB. When I use Firefox, for some reason I cannot save my password. When I press enter on my radio station, I don't get any audio and I had to log on under Firefox to get the audio. I don't know if this is your problem, but I thought that I share it with you. Take care and Go Nats!

Re: [JAWS-Users] trying to obtain a jaws disc
Hi Melissa, Here is the direct download from Freedom Scientific 64 bits version for windows7: ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/JAWS/J13.0.924-64bit.exe If you can, copy the above URL on a flash disk and when you get to the laptop using windows, plug the disk into it. Assuming there is nothing else on the flash disk, try to navigate to computer and open the flash disk. Usually, windows will automatically open the drive and I do believe that pressing enter on the first item will open the drive and you just press the spacebar to select the link and then press enter to start the download. I am not on a windoews7 computer now, but normally you would want to save the download, but in your case, tab to the run and press enter to start the installation of Jaws. Jaws will start talking and help you to walk through the installation. On my XP computer, I can only tab twice to find the run button. Let me know if you are not using windows7 or if you need the 32 bits version, I will send you the link for that one. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] making a CD
Hi Normam, Thanks for your reply. I have burned Cds with other software on my computer that were successfully installed without any reference to having to install the hotfix with imapi. I was looking for another burning software that I can use without using the Jaws cursor a lot. From what I gathered from the list, the free burning cd software is a lot easier to use? Am I wrong about this? I do back up my computer with windows system backup twice a month and I use Karen's Replicator quite often for my data files. So, that is not a problem. The problem is that I don't normally run into a difficulty in installing a software like I have with free CD burner from free studio. So I am hesitant to do so until I feel confident that all will be okay when I do the installation? Thanks. Take care. Lennie At 04:35 PM 7/3/2012, you wrote: Hi. I am not familiar with burning cds but I did a Google search on imapi and it is something you need to burn cds with. As for the hotfix it almost sounds like a windows update. The reason for the message about closing all applications before proceeding means that you will probably need to reboot the computer after you've finished installing. As for a backup you should always have that. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Lennie Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 3:34 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] making a CD Hi, I downloaded the free CD burner from free studio and I went to install it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] reading empty PDF documents in JAWS 13
Hi, I am assuming that the PDF document is an image. If you have a scanner, you can print the document and then scan it to have Jaws be able to read the document as a text file. I don't have open book or Kirzwell, but I understand that either one can read the image file and convert it to text. I also understand that there might be some site on the web that will do the same. Sorry to say, but I don't know where that would be. Perhaps a Google search can find one for you? Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] need help on how to safely remove USB thumb drive under Windows 7
Hi Norman, Normally when you write to an USB drive, you must safely remove the drive otherwise you may lose data or corrupt the drive in some way.

[JAWS-Users] Excel: reading content of column A
Hi, I am using Excel 2003 on my desktop XP computer and Excel 2007 on my windows7 laptop computer. I am also using the latest Jaws13 on both computers. In Jaws12, when I am in column A and I press the left arrow key, Jaws simply reads the contents of that cell. However, with Jaws13, I press the left arrow in column A and Jaws does not speak the contents of that cell. I will have to do say word or move out of that cell and move back into it to hear the contents of that cell. Is there any fix for this problem? Does the problem lies in Jaws scripts? Is anyone else having this problem? I know that I can do say word, but when navigating with the arrow keys, I do not want to move to say word to hear the contents.

[JAWS-Users] Microsoft feeds? What is it?
Hi, I noticed that in Jaws13 when I open a web page, Jaws always say Feeds Preview followed by Microsoft feeds close. Is anyone else getting this message when opening a web site? This annoyance did not occur in Jaws12. I am using IE 8 on my XP desktop computer. What is this thing and can I do anything to shut Jaws up from saying this? Many thanks in advance. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Moving Jaws 12 settings to Jaws 13 settings
Hi, I just installed the latest Jaws13 and I do not wish to use the merge utility from Jaws12. What I would like to do is to copy some of my personalized settings and the dictionary from Jaws12 ENU and paste them into Jaws13. I know that the merge utility will accomplish this easily, but I have a lot of junk in the ENU folder that was brought over from each of the previous merge since Jaws9 or earlier. Some of the items in the previous versions don't mean anything anymore. So, I would like to start Jaws13 clean and just copy those files that I need. The dictionary would be the biggest problem to start over fresh and I just assume to bring the whole file over and make any changes that don't apply anymore. Any way to accomplish these things or should I just bite the bullet and start all over again from the beginning? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated! It would be a great Christmas gift for me so that I will not have to use Mike's Dr. Phil. Merry Christmas to everyone on the list! I hope that Santa treats you well.

[JAWS-Users] Punctuation
Hi, I just installed the latest version of Jaws13 and I am having a little problems with the Jaws setting center. I want to change some of the punctuation so that I don't have to hear all the special characters such as colon, left brackets, right brackets and so on. The problem is that when I went into the Jaws setting center, and search for punctuation and press enter to go to the list, I ended up out of the Jaws setting center and therefore I cannot make any changes. I would greatly be appreciative if someone can tell me what I am doing wrong? I don't think that Dr. Phil is available for Thanksgiving and I am losing my appetite for that big bird!

I hit enter twice (one to save the changes and one to open the web site) and the web page comes up with the team's scores for that week. I hit the navigation key T (as in tango) to jump to each table to each game with the team's scores. I hope that you will find this method easier? Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
Hi Doris, Yes, I do have an additional internal drive D. I do not have the luxury of having someone here to help me set up that drive for virtual memory. Your warning is enough for me not to do anything. My computer support is my daughter and she is over 3 hours from here and she is very busy with her job. For that reason, she does not come here very often. I don't know if she can help me over the phone, but for now, I just deal with it as it is. Thanks for your suggestions. I will keep this information should I use my D drive for virtual memory in the future. Unfortunately, the drive already has two partitions with a lot of MP3 files in both partitions and I don't think that I want to repartition it just to have a third one for paging for fear of messing up all my files. In the meantime, I will try to keep my system free of clutter when I listen to the football game on it. I do run CCleaner at least once a week and I was told to go into Internet Explorer and remove all temporary files and history. I will see how it goes when my team plays again on the 15th of October. Again, thanks for your help. I really do appreciate your suggestions. Take care. Lennie At 08:13 PM 10/3/2011, you wrote: Do you have a second internal hd in your box? You can manually set the size of the swap file (virtual memory); the recommended size is 1.5 times the amount of hardware RAM in your system. however, this is a setting you should only takcle if you are comfotable doing so and also know what you are doing. *g* If you set this up wrong, your box might not boot anymore and that's something to be avoided. So maybe you have a computer geeky friend to walk you thru the steps the first time. Once you know your way aroudn the settings and get comfrotable with it, this is not difficult at all and i have manually been configuring my swap file for more than 10 years and going back to win 9x.. If you have a second physical hard drive in your box (an internal not an external drive) you can further speed up your system by putting most of your virtual memory on the second drive, preferably on a partition of its own so the page file does not become fragmented. Again, though, this is something you want to be sure you know what you are doing so that you don't accidentally render your box inoperational. If having the page file on a 2nd drive is not an option, there are utilities out there that will defrag system files - and the page file (virtual menory is such a system file) during bootup as they cannot be accessed and defragged during regular windows operation because they are in use then. There are several good defrag programs available that have the option of defragging system files at bootup. I like open source and free and am using ultradefrag for this . And to get this back on course *g*, Ultradefrag does work quite nicely with jaws. *smile* Before changing settings, though, make sure your computer is running at its best being properly maintained with regular spyware checks, not running unnecessary programs and services in the background, being defragged regularly, etc. and if you do decide to monkey around with your virtual menory settings, be really careful, create a restore point before you do, and preferably have someone walk you thru the steps in the beginning. This said, I monkeyed for myself but I have the luxury of having a fully sighted hubby who saves my butt every now and then when I get in trouble. *g* Good luck and safe computing!

Another thing you can look at is what is playing the game for you. This could be media player or possible quick time. They both have buffers for playing content from the Internet. Only media player has all the catches and don't forget to turn off its Internet junk collector. You will see them in the preferences. You don't have to worry about quick time, because it don't garbage collect on what you play like media player does. Also check for tool bars on the browser. Just about everything now has junk installing with it. The last is to watch what is scanning in background when playing this content. Between it and buffing the stream might run you out of ram. This one may or nay not help you. Sense jaws has no garbage collection on its self in ram. opening up programs puts scripts in ram. When those programs close that ram usage is suppose to be reclaimed. What ever fool works there removed it and now it loads up on junk ram scripts.

[JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
Hi, I am using windows XP with 3 GB ram with latest Jaws 12. I was listening live to a NFL football game today on my computer when I heard a sound, but it didn't sound like the sound you get with a fatal error. I lost Jaws and my wife told me that the screen stated a message low on virtual memory. She closed the screen and after that I got another message something to do with bector and Internet explorer 8 for which I have no idea what that means. I don't recall any other problems with IE8 and I had only the home page of the radio station and a second page for the audio opened. For what it is worth, here is the URL of the radio station. When I got the page, I pressed enter on listen live. http://www.espn980.com/ Does anyone have any idea what caused the error and what should I do? Even after my wife got me back to the desktop, Jaws was stilll not talking. So, I aborted Jaws (insert key+Windows key+F4) and use the shortcut key to bring back Jaws. Any help and suggestions will greatly be appreciated. Take care. Lennie For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory
Hi Brad and Hans, I cannot close the program that caused the error since Jaws stopped working and I cannot get rid of the error message. I have just power off the computer and started it again to get around the problem. The audio streaning is causing the problem filling up the virtual memory and perhaps Jaws was also in virtual memory which may be the reason why it stopped talking. Aborting Jaws took care of the problem after my wife got rid of all the junk on the screen. I do have a lot of programs running in the background. When I listen to the next game in two weeks, I am going to close everything that I have in the system tray before the game starts and hopefully I will have enough virtual memory to get through three hours of the game. I suppose increasing the virtual memory could fix the problem? Anyway, thanks for both of your suggestions. Take care Lennie At 06:04 PM 10/2/2011, you wrote: The first thing I would do is reboot the pc. It sounds like your memory is getting full. IF you haven't rebooted in a while than now is agood time. If this isn't the problem than the player your using to listen to the stream may not be freeing up memory as needed. If this is the case next time just try closing the program and restarting it. - Original Message - From: Lennie lenni...@mchsi.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 4:32 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Low on virtual memory Hi, I am using windows XP with 3 GB ram with latest Jaws 12.

[JAWS-Users] NFL scores
Hi All NFL enthusiasts! Since we cannot obtain the NFL scores with research it, I found a simple way to get scores and box scores and summary about each games. It is the same method that I use for MLB scores using USA today. Below is the URL and for each week you must bring up the property of the URL and hit the end (e n d key) and change the date for each week and Monday Night football. I hope that you will find this useful as I do. Until research it working again for sport information (if it ever does) this works pretty well. http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/scores/nfl/2011/09/18 Enjoy. Take care.

Jim, When I download a NLs book from BARB, I download it directly to a folder in My Documents. I am on my XP computer now, but I have downloaded different things on my windows7 laptop and directed the data to other folders other than the download folder. I cannot remember how I did this. I seem to think that I might have typed the path in the file name before I did the save. Doing this will eliminate the need to do a copy. I hope that this is what you need to make it work for you?

I use Control C to copy it to the clip board, and move that file into a folder in my documents, with the same name as the book. Then, I open up the new folder in my documents, and paste the zip file in it. I don't really need control V in downloads, but the fact is, I have no function to copy, paste, or create a folder in downloads. What I usually do, when things are working correctly is, create a folder while in downloads, copy the zip file of the book to my clip board and then, paste it into the folder I created in my download folder.

Especially when you consider the tight race in the American League East where my Sox are doing battle once again with the Yanks and the Rays. Anyway, here is the scoop on what has happened. About a week or 10 days ago, ESPN made modifications to how they expose sports results in an effort to block many different products that had been tapping into ESPN to get the info in real time and display it. We believe this was done in an effort to get more organizations to purchase access to the data and prevent anyone from getting it otherwise. This will not only impact MLB on Research It, but all of the sports. We have been investigating the MLB site itself and many other places like YAHOO but so far, have not found any site that exposes the information away that will work. We are also reaching out to ESPN and trying to explain who we are and what we are doing in order to see if we can get them to work with us. If any of you who use Research It to get access to daily scores would be willing, please write to them at: https://r.espn.go.com/members/contact/index Please be polite and remember, they are not targeting JAWS and Research It when they make these changes. It would be helpful to explain to them how beneficial it has been to use Research It in order to get the scores and schedules without having to weed through all the extra information presented on very busy web pages. I'm sure that together, we can all work this out and FS will get this fixed and working again as quickly as possible.

Hi Denny, Below I reposted my suggestion to obtain MLb scores until FS fixes the problem. I just used it this morning with the date for Friday's games and I got all the scores. I hope that this will do for you in the meantime. I too cannot get my beloved team scores on research it. I think that I may have found a temporary solution until FS fixes the problem It not as easy as research it, but it durable. I did a Google search for NLB scores for 05/02/11 since I wanted the information for that day. I found my information on USA Today and what I was looking for was found in the summary link. I then did ALT+D to get the address bar and change the URL date to last night's game and I got the information for my team. Caution: when you go into the summary link for your team, press the letter R for the radio button to uncheck refresh the page every two minutes and choose not to refresh. Here is the URL: http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/scores/mlb/2011/06/24 As I said, it is good enough for now and no telling how long FS will give us another update for Jaws 12 which I am using the latest build.

I guess David chimes in when he's tired of reading about programming smile So, this will be my last reply - please continue this thread on the programming list. The C# compiler is located in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe for the 32-bit version and 64-bit C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe Csc.exe is a command line compiler, so you have to open a Windows console / command prompt to compile and read compiler warnings and errors etc. The above path is related to version 4 of the .NET framework. I recommend adding C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 to your path environment variable. Doing that will allow you to simply type csc.exe some_program.cs when you're ready to compile your program. If you don't add it to your path you'll need to type: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe some_program.cs every time you compile. A bit cumbersome to say the least. So, let's pretend that you've written the well known Hello, World! Program in C# and named the file containing the C# source code HelloWorld.cs. To compile the program type: Csc.exe HelloWorld.cs This will produce HelloWorld.exe. If your code contains errors the compiler will tell you on which line etc. Good luck! -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jorge Paez Sent: 22. mai 2011 02:52 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] programing environments and JFW12 for .net, how can I compile it once I write it?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Quicken 2003 and Jaws 12 with split transaction (solved) (Lennie)
Hi Greg, I am glad that I was able to help someone else with the same problem that I had. It was very frustrating going back and forth between Jaws 11 and 12 just to use Quicken 2003 split transaction window. I wrote to Freedom Scientific support right after Jaws 12 release about this matter and all they told me is to find a script writer to make the necessary changes to it. I didn't like that idea having to pay someone to modify the script. It was just dumb luck and a hunch that maybe something in text processing was causing the problem. It made no sense to me that Quicken 2003 was working perfectly in Jaws 11 and not in Jaws 12. So, doing a comparison between 11 and 12 text processing, I discovered the difference and I made the change in Jaws 12 text processing and I came to be a happy camper that Quicken 2003 is working like it should. I notified Freedom Scientific and they were appreciative and they were notifying their support team in case anyone else happens to call them with the same problem. Glad it works for you too!

[JAWS-Users] Quicken 2003 and Jaws 12 with split transaction (solved)
Hi, I want to share this with everyone on the list that uses Quicken with Jaws 12. It mainly affects split transactions windows and perhaps many of you are not using this feature of Quicken? This problem did not exist in Jaws 11 or earlier versions. In Jaws 12, the contents of category, memo and amount fields were not spoken while typing the data in the fields. Tabbing through the fields would only say blank. All that was spoken while pressing the say line was the header names. (category memo and amount) I found the solution for this problem and I thought that everyone should know since it could affect other applications. I had to do the same for Eudora. Here is what I did: While in Quicken application do the following: 1. press insert+6 in the number row to bring up the Setting center 2. type text in the search field and arrow down to text processing and press enter 3. Right arrow to open the general settings and arrow down to enhanced edit support 4. I found this to be checked. I unchecked it and tab to applied and press enter. 5. Tab to ok and press enter 6. CTRL+S to save the changes and press escape to put you back in Eudora. Now, The split transaction window works perfectly in Jaws 12 just as it did in Jaws 11. I hope that this will solve anyone else's problem if they encountered this. Jaws 11 did not have this problem because the enhanced edit support was unchecked which apparently was the default. I guess that it is checked in Jaws 12 as the default. I would appreciate if anyone on the list will let me know if the enhanced edit support in Jaws 12 is checked? I am just curious . The same check had to be removed in Eudora application since spell checking and typing the name in the to field (I had to say line to hear the name even though arrowing down subsequent names were spoken)wasn't working right either until I unchecked that field. I am wondering how many other applications may be affected by that field being checked. Hope this helps. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Cannot restart Jaws with hotKey
Hi, (Sorry if this is the second time that I sent this. I got an error the first time and I don't know if it went out.) I am having a problem restarting Jaws with my short-cut key. According to the HotKey program, it shows my short-cut key to be correct. Usually, when I bring Jaws out of hibernation, and it comes up with Jaws 12, I can shut it down and do my short-cut key for Jaws 11 and it will start. However, many times I shut down a version of Jaws and try to bring up another version, nothing happens. This often happens after I have been using the PC for a while and have many applications running at different times. I then have to do a restart to get Jaws to come up with version 12 and go through the process of shutting it down and bring up version 11. I checked the properties for both versions and it is correct. Can anyone have any ideas what is wrong and if anyone experiencing the same problem? Any assistance will greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Frances, The best way to secure your programs in event of failure is to use Image for Windows. David have done a couple of tutorials on backing up the computer and restoring it. I tried the demo version which you can do for 30 days. You can find out more about it at: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-windows.htm Here is the URL for the download page: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads-image-for-windows.htm Here is the URL for David's tutorial. It is under the utility heading, items 4 and 5: http://www.jaws-users.com/audio/ Hope this will help you. You can also use Karen's Replicator to backup your important programs. David also did a tutorial on this software and it is a freeware. David's tutorial can also be found on the audio page under file management heading and it is the first item. You can get the download for Karen's Replicator at: http://www.jaws-users.com/programs/ It is the 22nd item under the file management utility heading.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Quicken 2003 and Jaws 12
Hi David, Unfortunately, Using scripts from Jaws 9 and Jaws 11 did not work. I removed the Quicken scripts from Jaws 12 and pasted the Jaws 9 scripts in Jaws 12 Enu folder and it did not make any difference. The same is likewise for Jaws 11. Thinking that I have to unload Jaws and bring it up again did not change anything. I have a request. Can you try a test transaction using the split screen and see what you get? Also, I try to recompile the script and I got an error. I appreciate any suggestions if you feel that I did not follow proper procedures. BTW, I wrote to support at Freedom Scientific and all they told me that Quicken 2003 is no longer supported and that I will have to continue to use Jaws 11 for all my split transactions. Darn! Take care, One more problem with Jaws 12 for Eudora users. That is probably no longer supported either and there are some things that are not working properly like it did in Jaws 11. I will have to use Jaws 11 for Eudora too.

Re: [JAWS-Users] CCleaner Google
Hi Mike, Yes I did install the latest version of CCleaner and the Google toolbar was checked to be installed automatically when you finish installing CCleaner. When you get to the page to press the finish button, I turned on Jaws cursor and did a pageup and arrow down and I heard the Google message to install the toolbar. Unfortunately, placing the Jaws cursor on the check mark to uncheck it did not work when I press the left mouse button. I carefully placed the Jaws cursor on the check mark and press the real mouse left click button and it brought the screen into focus and the check mark was unchecked. I was then able to press enter on the finish button and CCleaner was installed without the unwanted toolbar which is to me a nuisance to us blind folks. The people who handle the download of CCleaner are very sneaky!! I don't know if there is a better way to get around this problem. BTW, it was dumb luck that I discovered the Google toolbar during installation of the CCleaner. What caught my attention is that the download procedure changed and I got suspicious and I was checking everything out with the Jaws cursor. So, there you have it. Take care. Is this one for Dr. Phil? Lennie At 04:21 PM 11/5/2010, you wrote: Hi All; I am running a program by FileHippo called update checker. Are others on the list familiar with this program?

Like I say, there are no boxes to check or uncheck or anything. The Google stuff just gets installed.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Check writing Software
Hi Bill, I am assuming that you already have checks? I have set up a system using word 2003 and it is rather complicated, but it works for me. I'll try to explain. First you must set up a word table with four columns: 1. the payee 2. the check amount (in numbers such as 100.00 no dollar sign) 3. the check amount written out as One Hundred and no/100 4. the memo or note field Once the table has been set up, then you must create a file which I call check format. This file will be laid out to match the print positions of the four items mentioned above on the check. This is the hardest step trying to make sure that the print positions matched up correctly. I have wasted several checks doing this. If you have a sighted person to measure the check for you, you can lay it out using alt+F then U for page set up to set up the margin. You also have to use format, paragraph to manipulate the exact position so not have to print high above the line or below the line. Once the format file is created, then you have to do a mail merge. Alt+t, E press enter and select Directory and follow the prompt to step through the process to merge the table with the format file. Once you have successfully done this, then you must do the process over again by recording the steps creating a macro with a short-cut key so that the merge can be done each time that you want to change an amount of a check or add a new payee. I know that this is complicated as hell and a certain friend will probably want to go to Dr. Phil after doing all of this. One more thing, my checks are the business size checks that my bank provided for me as a blind customer. It is called a sighted check. I don't know if other banks will charge you for these types of checks. If you are interested on what I mentioned above, write me off list and I will do my best to help especially since I wrote this email rather quickly and may have left out some important information.

You can also join the Eudora blind list where you can get help from people who knows Eudora better than I. Just type subscribe in the subject line of a blank email and send it to: blindeudora-requ...@freelists.org If I can be of any help, write me off list and I will see what I can do.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and C cleaner?
Hi Dale, There is a way to save cookies that you don't want CCleaner to remove. I hope that the following steps is easy to follow: 1. Start CCleaner 2. Press the Analyze button Note: You might not have to run the analysis to get to the list of cookies 3. after the analysis is complete, Tab until you find the option button and press enter 4. tab until you find cookies and press enter 5. With the Jaws cursor, arrow down until you find a cookie and then root PC cursor to Jaws cursor 6. Arrow through the list until you find the cookie that you want to keep 7. Press the application key and press enter on keep 8. Repeat for any other cookies that you want to keep 9. Tab to the list of excluded cookies and you should read the cookies that will not be removed. If you kept the wrong cookie, while in the excluded cookies list,press the application key and arrow down to remove and press enter I sure hope that these steps are correct and will work for you. Hope this helps. Take care, Lennie At 12:43 PM 9/6/2010, you wrote: Hello Brian, Do you know, is there a way to protect certain cookies?

Hello Francis, I have pasted a link below, which should give you the latest version of CCleaner. There is a check for updates button in the CCleaner interface window that can be used periodically to check for any new updates. However, you might find it easier when checking to go to www.filehippo.com and download the latest version of the program. When on the File Hippo page there will be a link to CCleaner. It is usually under the popular downloads heading. Follow that link and on the subsequent page there will be a download latest version link that you can use. If the information bar pops up use Alt+N to move focus to it and then use the application key to invoke a context menu. Use down arrow key to the download file choice and press enter key. You can then choose to save the file by using the save button and start the downloading process. Here is a direct link to the file in my drop box: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3951772/ccsetup232.exe Take care.

Hello Kliph, Have you installed version 2.32? The reason I am asking is that I had version 2.29 and the item state was not being read to me. I started to write a script but then I decided to download version 2.32 and the item state is now being read by JAWS. If you use the JAWS cursor, the graphic 793 by an item indicates that it is checked and 792 indicates that it is not checked. You can move to the graphics with the JAWS cursor and use the graphics labeler. Label 793 as checked and 792 as unchecked. I found that using the invisible cursor with the up and down keys spoke the state after labeling, but of course, you would have to put PC cursor back on before changing the state of the item. Again, a simple script could be used to have JAWS speak the item state using the PC cursor, but if you don't have version 2.32 then I suggest you try updating to that version first. Take care.

I'm using windows 7, and Jaws 11 latest version. I just installed C Cleaner, and going down the list, jaws isn't saying checked or unchecked. So I don't know what is selected. How can I make jaws tell me if the box is checked or unchecked? It works just fine on my vista PC.
