[JAWS-Users] help needed using wordpress with jaws
Hi. I hope someone on list can help with this problem. I am posting here because we are exclusively using jaws with wordpress for testing. First, do people have any tips for how to use wordpress with jaws? certain things like widgets in the backend are prooving difficult to set options for. secondly, i need an accessible template, preferably one that perhaps allows for different contrasts in case someone is using magic magnification as well. Please contact me off list if more convenient so the list isn't cluttered. Any help greatly apreciated. many thanks, Mo.

Re: [JAWS-Users] What is the key stroke to under score a series of words?
Hi Jim. an underscore is usually shift and dash, i'm refering to a UK keyboard layout i'm not sure about a US layout keyboard. if you're trying to underline a series of words on a line in word for example, using jaws press home on the line, then press shift end to select the line then press control U. i hope that helps. very best wishes, Mo.

Hi Trish. Yes, its still on the JFWLite site as far as i know.

I told her she better get inside window's update and hide that IE update thingy, or one of these times it's gonna install without her knowing, and I guess Jaws 7 wouldn't work for IE 8.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
Hi Kathy. I certainly would not go with 64bit. The amount of complaints we've had about it! a friend of mine runs a PC repair business and people find it a lot more convenient to downgrade to 32bit. the reality is that if your pc only has 4GB or less of memory, 32bit windows is fine. if it has 4GB or more, then they recommend 64bit but in reality 32bit can work on windows with up to 16GB of ram using PAE or physical address extention technology. this probably isn't the place to discuss 32bit verses 64bit, but i've a feeling that you're paying extra for jaws 64bit, i haven't checked out the latest prices but i do know that there are separate versions of jaws for 32bit systems and 64bit systems.

[JAWS-Users] Marking multiple files using jaws?
Hi All. I have an interesting question. I've tried the file manager listed on the programs page but it didn't quite do what i wanted it to do. what i'm looking for is a simple way of marking multiple files in a list individually then moving them to a folder. lets say i have 100 files and i want to mark 25 files individually and they're not in order. i can't use standard keyboard shortcuts such as shift down/up arrow as that would select the files going down/upwards in the list. so my question is simply is there an easy way of marking a number of specific files in a list? an example of this would be if in an ideal world each file was a check box and i'd just tick the ones i wanted to copy by pressing space then copy them all at the end.

Re: [JAWS-Users] how in the world do you use windows live messenger 2011?
Hi Jim. The simple answer is you don't use it lol. Its impossible to use with jaws as usual microsoft haven't bothered to consider accessibility. I'd advise you to downgrade to the previous version then make sure not to update via windows update even when its offered to you, you should be able to untick it. This is the full offline installer, when installing simply untick the apps you don't want in the list, i just installed messenger i never install any of their other stuff if i can help it... Here's the link to download the last known accessible version. let me know if it works for you and if you need any further help: http://www.oldapps.com/msn_messenger.php?old_msn=22?download Mo.

Re: [JAWS-Users] how in the world do you use windows live messenger 2011?
PS: when installed, sign in as normal then go to tools then to options, and go to the layout section in the list. Press tab, and untick the following boxes: Show favourites, show groups, show the tab bar, and show the what's new list. then click ok, this'll make your experience a lot easier. Also if contacts are arranged in groups you can change that option from this section as well to online status etc. Mo.

[JAWS-Users] Classic shell was Re: Windows 7 Start Menu
Hi Guys. Anyone that uses windows7 but doesn't like the standard start menu may want to try classic shell, a link to which is provided further down this email. Classic shell changes your start menu and windows explorer to look like the start menu and explorer found when setting windows xp to classic view, in short the default start menu found in windows 2000. its alot simpler to navigate. Although the settings dialogue isn't very accessible in classic shell, when its installing it will configure the start menu to classic mode by default for you so no settings adjustment should in theory at any rate, be necessary. its only if you want to adjust settings for drag and drop or for what appears on toolbars that you will need to access settings. You can change your start menu back to windows7 either via the settings though a little sited help may be needed, or by simply uninstalling the program. You can also choose what you want to install, for example if you want a windows7 start menu but not classic explorer, or classic windows explorer but not start menu, simply press space on the option when installing and disable the one you don't want. here's the link: http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/index.html Mo.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws not reading desktop icons after video intercept update
Hi, I've been experiencing a rather strange issue lately. Recently, i installed a new NVIDIA graphics card in my PC. There were initially no problems with jaws that i could see. However recently, i've been getting an MFC virtual viewer application error when ever i try to use the virtual viewer to virtualize the screen or display skype messages so i can copy and paste etc. also, jaws isn't reading my desktop icons at all. I tried reinstalling video intercept (the latest version), but no joy. before i reinstalled video intercept, the only issue was the virtual viewer, after installing the video intercept the desktop icons won't read, but the viewer works when it wants too. Do i have to uninstall jaws and video intercept, then reinstall? any ideas greatly apreciated. Many thanks, Mo.

Skype isn't working at all well for me either. the interface is difficult to grasp, options aren't where you'd expect them to be and in short its clunky. As i was asking for alternatives not stating problems specifically, i didn't think specific information regarding problems i was having with the existing clients necissary as i would rather not stick with windows live messenger or skype if i can possibly help it. The only thing i have left to try is the scripts for skype 5.0 but are they going to improve my user experience? at the end of the day its all down to personal preference, i'm sure there are those on this list for whom skype works like a charm.

In the past when windows came on, avast would say virus database has been updated. but now when I go to the sounds tab in control panel, there are no sounds listed for avast. All the windows sounds are fine, and when I manually check the update tab in avast, it seems to have updated the virus definitions automatically. Has anyone else noted this and where does one find the sounds? I am using vista.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about using thumb drive version of Jaws
Hi. Ok. Lets assume you have 3 files/folders on the root of your pen. you have a directory called jaws90, jaws10 etc, a file called jaws90.bat jaws 10.bat etc and an autorun.inf file. Your autorun.inf file should look like the one you pasted to me in your last email. All your batch file needs is the fololowing, obviously change jaws90 to jaws10 to reflect your folder name in both files. @echo off start jaws90\jfw.exe Does that makes sense? Mo.

Hi, yes that's all correct. If you download the USB version directly from freedom scientific's downloads page, the file they provide when extracted will give you the structure you need as well, batch file, autorun.inf file, etc. What you've outlined below is all correct and using this procedure you shouldn't have any problems.

It was just a text file from a german computer magazine that Avast has falsely identified as a virus. So, how useful can a AV program be, if it does not let me have the final decision?

Re: [JAWS-Users] microsoft essential
Hi Steve. Not at all, If i found microsoft security essentials to work better for me i would certainly recommend it to people. I've been using other microsoft products as well as windows for years now sync toy for my backups, microsoft's remote desktop over other sollutions, exchange server, office to mention a few. one could argue that by using those products i am putting my eggs in 1 basket, contradicting what i'd stated previously. Yes, i'll agree that avast isn't totally accessible, in that respect microsoft security essentials does have its advantages, that and the fact that you can disable it very easily and yes, even uninstall it easily. I was just simply saying that i never had to go in to safe mode when reviewing different anti virus products. I'm going to post an article under a separate thread that should shed a little light on this debate, its based on a PC magazine review and was written by avast in response to this very issue, who's better? avast actually went so far as to directly compare them selves to microsoft security essentials and also to AVG as well as some of the other providers. they weren't trying to say they were better, they simply looked at the facts. As i've said previously, what ever works best for you. Kind regards, Mo. Steve wrote: Mo, I'm afraid you're letting your bias against Microsoft software influence your judgement on av programs. As one who has encountered several instances of Avast 5, it is almost impossible to uninstall without either going into Safe Mode, or if you are lucky enough to click on the uninstall button within the twenty seconds they allow if you do it from add/remove programs. I think you could also use appremover to uninstall it, but it otherwise isn't easy. Considering that the Microsoft Security Essentials program has very good reviews from different sources including Windows Secrets, that it utilizes very low resources, that it doesn't have any accessibility issues, and that it can be easily temporarily disabled or permanently uninstalled, I have used it and recommend it for my clients.

[JAWS-Users] Interesting article on Avast!
Hi List. I don't wish to spark off a debate, rather i'd wish to end the current debate we're having with the following article. It makes for an interesting read and goes some way towards stating what i've already stated, each to his own. the number of PC's on which MSEE is installed has not caught up to any of the big name providers yet. first, microsoft launched 1care, a product which didn't do well. this article references various things from the web including a PC magazine review as well as including statistics and links to other anti virus commpetitors. This was written by the Avast staff, and what's interesting is the fact that they're hole heartedly stating that they're not the only ones, and that if someone wants to, they can use any other product and don't have to use theirs. alot of the time, articles like this encourage you to use the product in question.

Hi Kathy. Its an interesting point really. Not having bought a recent netbook with windows7 starter on there, i can't varify if indeed it is 64 bit or not.

The first is to downgrade it to windows xp, i've done this in the past with netbooks and it can generally be done, the second option is to have the PC retailer downgrade it to windows7 32bit for you which they will do free of charge as far as i know, just explain to them that you're visually impaired and that you require 32bit for jaws compatibility, its not worth you paying the extra for 64 bit. personally as i said i don't think it is 64bit, but feel free to let me know the outcome!

Avast's removal process has vastly improved from version 4.8, can you positively state its not better than MSEE if you haven't tried their latest version? if you have, then that's just your opinion, its enough for me that i have to use microsoft's software for daily tasks, i'll refrane from using their anti virus packages as well purely because if they do inadvertantly break something which they're almost certainly bound to do at some point just like they've done in the past, then i'm not being lumbered with an unnecissary problem.

Hi, just add paths to exclude or customize what avast does to suspicious files via the preferences. If it still doesn't do what you want, let me know might be worth filing a bug, its hard to believe though that it would just delete something with out even telling you it was going to, no anti virus program i've used just does that! i'll have to get a virus to try, that's an interesting point! i'd rather have avast block a file though than MSEE just let it in because microsoft haven't kept up, again not wishing to debate the issue just my opinion really.

One big problem is, if Avast finds something, the system locks and without sighted help I cannot choose to ignore or quarantene the File in wich avast has found something.

And, Avast has deleted mails because Avast did find something in it. The problem is, there was nothing to find. It was just a text file from a german computer magazine that Avast has falsely identified as a virus. So, how useful can a AV program be, if it does not let me have the final decision? No, I don't like MSSE, but it does, what it should be doing and is much more accessible than the latest Avast 5. Just my opinion. Regards! Kamil Mobeen Iqbal schrieb am Montag, 16.

Re: [JAWS-Users] thunderbird vs. windows live mail
Hi. I use thunderbird my self, i've tried windows live mail and hated it. Thunderbird 2.0 works better than thunderbird 3 to be honest, in thunderbird 3, i'd recommend turning off tabs by default emails open in the same tab, you want them to open in a new window so you can close the window. I think its control w to close a tab. If i were you, i'd download thunderbird 2.0. its much more user friendly and less cluttered for speech users, i'm using very happily with jaws 11 and GMail.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Does anyone know of a shareware program to Backup a external drive?
Hi. The best program i've found is Sync Toy made by microsoft. it has 3 backup modes, echo, syncranise and Contribute. Its freeware. the functions it offers are as follows: Synchronize The synchronize action will make two folders mirror each other, keeping the latest changes made to the files in either folder. New and updated files are copied both ways. Renames and deletes on either side are repeated on the other. Folder Creates, folder deletes and folder updates are also propagated both ways. For example, you have two computers. You keep a copy of pictures, documents, and/or tunes on both. Changes often occur on both computers. You want SyncToy to notice additions, deletions, changes, and renames on both computers, and then do the right thing to bring the folders back in sync. Synchronize is the SyncToy action to use. list of 5 items . Every file in the left folder that is new or changed is copied to the right folder. . Every file in the left folder that has been renamed is renamed in the right folder. . Every file that was deleted from the left folder is deleted in the right folder. . Note: SyncToy does not actually delete any files by default. It merely moves the files to the Recycle Bin. To change this behavior, uncheck the Save overwritten files in the Recycle Bin option in the folder pair option window. . The process is repeated for files in the right folder. list end Echo The echo action will make copies of files that are new and changed on the left to the right. New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames and deletes on the left are repeated on the right. Folder creates, folder deletes and folder updates on the left are repeated on the right. For example, when you travel, you take a copy of your pictures, tunes, and documents to work on. When you return, you want SyncToy to notice the files you added, changed, deleted, and renamed in the left folder, and you want SyncToy to recreate those additions, changes, deletions, and renames in the right folder. Echo is very similar to Synchronize, except Echo works only left to right. Echo is the SyncToy action to use. list of 7 items . Every file in the left folder that is new or changed is copied to the right folder. . Every file in the left folder that has been renamed is renamed in the right folder. . Every file that was deleted from the left folder is deleted in the right folder. . Note: SyncToy does not actually delete any files by default. It merely moves the files to the Recycle Bin. To change this behavior, uncheck the Save overwritten files in the Recycle Bin option in the folder pair option window. . No left folder files are deleted, or renamed. . No files are copied from right to left. . Right folder files are deleted. list end Contribute Contribute will add changes from the left folder to the right folder. New and updated files are copied left to right. Renames on the left are repeated on the right. No deletions. Folder creates and folder updates on the left are repeated on the right For example, you have a compact flash, SD, USB thumb drive, or other removable media that you take with you when you travel. You probably delete some files on the removable drive while you are away so that you can add or change other files. When you get back, you only want SyncToy to recognize new, renamed, and changed files, and you want the new stuff copied to the right folder. Contribute is the same as Echo but without the deletes. Contribute is the SyncToy action to use. list of 4 items . New and updated files from the left folder are copied to the right folder. . Files renamed in the left folder are renamed in the right folder. . No files are deleted. . No files are copied from right to left. list end You can download this here either for 32bit or 64bit: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=c26efa36-98e0-4ee9-a7c5-98d0592d8c52displaylang=en Let us know how you get on and if you find it to be ok!

Virtual PC is just running XP in a virtual environment much as VMWare would surely? or is XP being directly controled by windows 7 i.e you're still using windows 7 but with the xp backend? i hope this makes sense i just didn't understand your terminology, virtual terminal verses terminal...

Re: [JAWS-Users] Requesting Information on getting a new laptop with Jaws.
Hi Erin. I may be a little late in replying to your email, as by my time i've established its now the afternoon and you've probably already got your self a laptop. But i'll do my best to summarise. In terms of jaws and the mac, they do not work together. The 3 versions of windows 7, indeed its confusing, firstly i'd advise you to get the 32 bit version if that's what you've previously used as that guarantees compatibility with current programs which is what most users opt for if they're not running servers or memory intensive applications. 2GB or more of ram and a minimum of a 120 GB hard drive should be more than enough for your needs. As for windows7 versions, what versions are they offering in your part of the world? windows7 home basic is probably not worth going for, go for windows7 ultimate or windows7 home premium. home premium will be fine for your needs, home basic would probably do the job as well but to be on the safe side, get home premium. there aren't many differences, ultimate offers everything windows7 could ever have offered you, home premium verses home basic? home basic doesn't offer media center recording from TV cards, aero affects etc as far as i know? its been so confusing as microsoft being microsoft couldn't just stick to 1, 2, or even 3 editions we've got 4 or more versions of the same operating system to choose from, home basic, home starter, home premium, ultimate, server, etc. ah well, that's microsoft for you. Bottom line: go for a laptop. Macs are generally more expensive and i'm not just saying this because i'm biost towards windows, i'm saying it because i don't like a company that's arogant and full of them selves and that don't even let me customise my devices with out a fight! In regards to your jaws licences, some users have said that your jaws licence would work on all windows7 versions, i could be wrong in this regard as i'm not using windows7 yet with the version of jaws i have. regarding your sound issue, that can probably easily be fixed if we patch your stereo mix output instead of your microphone input so people will be able to hear jaws. that's easily done i believe from within windows7 and i can give you a hand trying to get this feature to work. I hope this has been of some help to you, if you have any further questions, drop me a line. Mo. Erin wrote: Hello, My name is Erin, and I'm new to the group. I use Jaws 10 and 11 standard. I am going tomorrow to get a new laptop. I've been told that I either have to get seven or a mac. I don't know if jaws works with either one of them. And if it does do I need jaws standard or pro. Also, I saw there were three different versions of seven, and I don't know what the differences are. I like to do several things on my computer. Burn and rip cd's, download music, convert things with GoldWave, join things together, play games and much more. I also love to go to chatroom sites and play yahtzy. right now people can't hear me using my vista laptop. I've been told it's because of my sound card. However I've tried both speakers and external sound cards. People still can't hear jaws. As I said I'm getting a new laptop, and I'm looking for input. Things like, the size of the harddrive, how much ram, 32 or 64 bit, operating system, microsoft verses mac, sound card, what version of jaws, and everything, and anything else, people can advise me with more information. i'm going in the morning, sorry for such short notice, but it suddenly came up.

Re: [JAWS-Users] how to set jaws speed for various applications
Hello. I have just confirmed, the following works with my version of jaws, please let me know if this solves your problem. First, open your application, in this example i opened notepad. Next, alt tab to the jaws window. Press alt O to go to the options menu, then go down to voices, then in to global voice adjustment and press enter. Go up and down with your arrows, if you press your down arrow once, jaws should say modify application then the name of what ever you have open, in my example jaws said modify application notepad, then if i scroled down again it said modify default. Then, tab and set the options that you would like jaws to use e.g the rate, voice etc. Then tab to ok, and that should be all you need to do! Many Thanks, Mo.

In jaws 11, you press alt o for options, then down to voices, then go in to voice adjustment. adjust how fast or slow you want jaws to be, then save it as a new profile, you should be prompted to do this when clicking on save as. once you've done this, go back in to the options menu, then to voices, then to select profile. do this again while windows explorer is running. you will be given a combo box for the application you want to adjust, select windows explorer then tab to the profile box, then click on the one you saved earlier.

[JAWS-Users] Avast and GMail fix
Hi. Further to the previous discussions on this topic, i've been testing the latest version of avast 5.0.594 over the last week and putting together a list of issues to be fixed. one of the issues people were having is the scanning of emails for viruses using avast, specifically when sending email via the gmail service. As most email providers such as GMail offer virus scanning when emails are received or sent at their end, for the time being if using gmail you can safely disable the mail scanning feature of avast. for the more technical among you, it appears that gmail have changed their certificate settings when using SSL over the last couple of weeks, so i'm assuming that avast need to do some more testing before allowing the gmail IP addresses through their scanner etc. Here's how to disable the shield. 1. go to ad/remove programs and highlight the avast 5.0 free anti virus option. Note: i have not provided instructions for accessing add/remove programs here as too many people have too many different configurations, but email if you don't know how and i'll be happy to ablije. 2. click on the change option or change/remove in windows xp. 3. when the avast installation window is displayed, highlight the change option in the list with the arrows and click on next. 4. when the changes screen is displayed, find the mail shield option with the arrows, and press space to untick it. then, click on next. 5. the email shield will be uninstalled. click on finish to restart your computer to save changes. This issue doesn't seem to be affecting other email providers hotmail, aol etc, though i could be wrong. Its only because GMail use a secure connection to send your emails. I hope this has been of some help to people while avast get the issue fixed. they do know about it, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Mo.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Avast 5.94 now fully accessible!
Hi. I haven't personally installed internet security yet, but they did say on the website that they'd be carrying changes across all versions when they released the next version, which was about a month or 2 ago so i'm assuming they meant this version. What you could do is download and install the trial of internet security and test it with jaws and let us know if it works. I will be installing internet security at some point my self, i will report back when i have it installed if noone's got any more on this issue. i've just checked and the latest version of internet security is 5.0.594, so i'm assuming it will be accessible. you can download it here: http://download.softpedia.com/dl/0451f5e8f9c8f86828bc9525b5274085/4c307cf7/100145381/software/antivirus/setup_ais_eng.exe Mo.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Avast 5.94 now fully accessible!
Hi. Yes, there used to be a way of doing this, but they changed the interface in avast 5. there maybe a skins option somewhere still, but i haven't found it yet, i'll keep the list posted if i do find one. The only thing you are able to do is turn off graphical affects which may help, that's in the general section of settings, i've got mine turned on though and it appears to work fine.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Ripping a CD to PC
Hi.

Re: [JAWS-Users] question on avast
yes but as avast is scanning all files in realtime anyway, you can just do a manual scan if you're afraid a file you've coppied isn't well, trust worthy. just do that once a week and you should be good to go. i don't see why i should use any more of microsoft's products than i have to, again its about putting all your eggs in one basket, no thanks... just my opinion.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Computer advice.
Hi Guys. I'm not the list owner, but wasn't this thread meant to have been closed down ages ago? This person isn't after 100 different opinions on the same subject. she just wants a simple straight answer and sitting here debating about this isn't going to help her in the slightest. I've personally tried windows 7 ultimate 32bit on a PC with jaws 11, 2GB of ram and a 320 GB hard drive. the pc in question had photoshop, office 2007, IE8 etc etc and they all ran fine with jaws running, and that was an AMD, i prefer intel personally. Also, please remember that we don't all have the money to shop for the latest and greatest, some users have said that she should get a really really high spec PC. its like when i'm advising and passing pc's on to the elderly. they just want something that just, well, works! not something that they can run the latest 3D games on, or the latest netbook with solid state storage, bluetooth and wireless. to them, the word bluetooth probably means talking about teath, literally. But that's besides the point. I'm not trying to say that jenny doesn't know what she's talking about, and i stand corrected if i have got any part of this email wrong in advance, i'm mearly saying that if she wants something basic, then advise her on that basis, and if people want to shop at superstores where things are a little expensive, there is nothing or very little one can do about that. I hate PC world, but many of the people i work with have shopped there, shoot me, my job is mearly to get them up and running. steve, i've just read your last. I agree with you, i provide technical support all the time as well as custom PC building, i'm from the days when we'd have dos on an old BBC computer, and if someone can get buy with what ever is good for them, so be it. Just my 2 cents or penny's worth depending on where you are. Best wishes to you all, Mo. Scorpio Forever wrote: Hello Steve, I don't know where you are shopping, but where ever it is, stop shopping there immediately, you're getting very ripped off. Grins. Have you actually tried to run Jaws 11 on a windows 7 system with only 2 gigs or RAM? I mean, have you actually physically tried it, or are you going on the basis of supposition and assumption? The fact is, I've used computers running Windows 7 and Jaws 11 with only 2 gigs of RAM, please believe me, unless I was only running those two pieces of software, those being the OS and the screen reader, everything would indeed be fine, but load any other piece of software in addition to that, and things would start to lag dramatically. As for the solid state drives being on 160, you're nuts. One can get a netbook with a 10 inch screen, and a 250 gig solid state drive for 799, and that is running the latest and greatest software. I've seen it, and had a chance to play with it at the store where I saw it, so please, don't assume to speak for the entire population, because you most assuredly are not the entire population of the world, so you couldn't possibly speak for everyone.
