Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 9 is sluggish on walmart.com
Hi Lisa, Either your verbocity settings with insert+V or the configuration manager using insert+F2 and arrow down to configuration manager will have this option for you. In configuration manager, press alt+S and arrow down to html settings. I think it's in one of the tabs, but don't quote me on that. Smile. I'm sorry I can't be more exact, but it's been a long time since I've had to play around with that setting. Worse case scenario, you can always turn it off in the manage add-ons option in internet explorer or what ever browser you use.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and Winamp
It's been my experience that if you enter into a folder where everything you want to include in the playlist is in the folder, once you do a control+A to select all, then tab over to the open button, all the tracks come into the playlist in order. If this is not the case, you need to tell us whether the tracks are appearing in the playlist with numbers ahead of the title, or just the titles are appearing. In any case, there are two checkboxes that need to be checked or unchecked, as I outline below. 1. Open Winamp. 2. Open the preferences with control+P. 3. arrow down to the playlist item in the tree view. 4, Tab to the checkbox that says, Show playlist item numbers in playlist editor and make sure it's checked. 5. Tab further down to the checkbox that says, When loading multiple files, sort files by name and make sure it's unchecked. 6. Tab to the close button and press the spacebar. Let us know if this helps.

[JAWS-Users] No Speech on Start Up
Hi Folks, A most perplexing problem has plagued me of late, and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for it. Using the latest build of Jaws 9, Windows XP, Norton Anti-Virus 2005 and nothing else I can think of that would affect it, besides running it on a Toshiba Laptop, when ever I start up, I get no speech with Jaws, and so I have to start Narrator, shut down Jaws, then restart it again. At that point, I get speech back with no problems after that. I do have a persistent dialog box that pops up when Jaws starts telling me that it could not load the Braille driver, and I have not been able to shut that off, or stop it from coming up. I should note that this dialog box does not pop up when the computer starts, only when I restart Jaws after the initial no speech. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to why this happens and what I can do to fix it? I have thought that the Braille driver is starting up when the computer boots up, and therefore gives me no speech, defaulting to the non-existent Braille display I once had hooked up to it, and so when I shut Jaws down and restart it, it no longer can find that Braille driver, and so defaults back to the speech? Does this sound plausible, and if so, how can I fix this problem? I would welcome any suggestions. Thank you all for your help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] No Speech on Start Up
Hi Dan, Thanks for your suggestion, but upon further inspection, I found that the Braille option was set to no display. Funny thing is, I switched from automatic detection to manual detection, and now I'm not getting that same error message and the dialog box. Having said that, the elimination of one problem did not solve the original problem. Still anyone with further ideas? Thanks again Dan, as ever, you're my hero. Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] winamp question
Hi Alan, The keystroke for turning the volume up or down is the up arrow for turning it up, or the down arrow for turning it down. You can also use the hotkey of control+alt+slash to take the volume up to 100%, control+alt+period to take the volume up to 66%, control+alt+comma to take the volume up to 33%, and finally, control+alt+M to bring the volume down to 0%.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 9 Question
Hi Annette and Patricia, I have also found this to be the case when I'm pasting something from the net into a message. One thing that helps me is to paste it into a plain text message, or, if you have your messages set to compose in html, go to the format menu with alt+O, then press the letter X for plain text. This will remove all of the cells and stuff like that from the message. Once that's done, highlight the entire body of the message, and copy it to the clipboard. Then, you can switch it back to Rich Text/html by again going to the format menu with alt+O, and pressing R to switch back to rich text. At this point, highlight the entire body of the message again, and paste what's in the clipboard over what you've highlighted. I see no other way of doing this, but truth be told, I haven't investigated the issue much, as this way works well for me. Oh, and Patricia, just to et you know, I'll be responding to your message you sent me off-list later tonight, so please keep an eye out for it. I'm sorry for the lateness of it, but I'll explain in my message off-list. P.S. I guess I must have Rick on my mind, as I kept typing his name in place of Rich. LOL.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and Skype
Hi Dale, Have you enabled the shortcut keys in Skype's preferences? You have to do this before you can use those hotkeys to answer and hang up a call. I'm assuming you have the scripts for Skype, as you mentioned going into the keyboard manager to set that up, but just in case you didn't, you should. Like I said, go into the preferences, and make sure the hotkey use is on. I think it says something like use global hotkeys or something like that.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and Skype
Hi Dale, The scripts add more functionality to the program, such as talking caller I.D. when someone calls you, letting you know who has signed in and out, the ability for you to use the instant messaging portion of the program, being able to browse the different tabs of the program, and various other things that you can do with Skype, but are too numerous to list here. While you can use the scripts that come readily installed with Jaws, the newer versions available from David's site do what I said above, and more, but again, these are luxuries that can be left alone if you don't use those particular features I've mentioned above. However, whether you download the scripts or not, you still do have to change that setting in the options/preferences to use global shortcut keys, otherwise the alt-page up and page down won't work for you when you answer and hang up a call, respectively.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and Skype
Hi Rick, Not trying to be cheeky, but what if that swapping of personal information, such as a Skype name, leads to getting assistance with Jaws, would it then be on topic for the list? This is a serious question, and not meant as a joke. I would like to know that if someone is having problems with Jaws, and I feel I can best help them with the spoken word then with the written one, would it then be permissible to send the Skype name, which, by the way is not personal information, in my humblest of opinions, at that juncture, or would it still be off-limits for the list? I'm also speaking of offering assistance to those wishing it. For example, if I wrote that I was able to help people set up and install Winamp, and if they wanted that explanation, they could visit the Jaws user's page, which is what I usually tell people, on or off list, but is it permissible to say that they can feel free to ring me over Skype, if they want the personal assistance? Again, I am not trying to be cheeky, as this scenario has happened on a couple of the lists I help to run, and, in fact, one of my lists will feature a Skype tutorial, on a conference call over Skype, on how to upload and download files from web based file sharing sites like send space or You Send It. In any case, the above example is to illustrate that I would like some clarification here on this, and I think the list would also benefit from this clarification.

Re: [JAWS-Users] external harddrive question
Is it being picked up in the device manager? You may want to go into the device manager and check under the USB controllers if there's a mass storage device being picked up. If that's the case, then you will want to uninstall all of the USB devices listed there, restart your computer, and let Windows recreate the USB devices plugged into the computer. You haven't said whether you've tried plugging in the drive on another port, so my fix above is in case you have tried plugging it into another port, and you had the same results. Like I said, this is the fix for a problem such as yours. Also, you never mentioned whether you've managed to connect this device to your computer in the past and whether it's been working fine at that point.

Re: [JAWS-Users] external harddrive question
If the drive came with driver CD's, and you are running Windows 98, which I can't remember if you are or not, then you would plop in the CD, install the software, then plug in the drive. Knowing 98 the way I do, you'll no doubt have to restart your computer for the changes to take effect. If you're running XP, then, more than likely, the CD won't help you, but you never know. Most drives only come with driver CD's for Windows 98 computers, as those are the only ones that will not recognize the drive. Another thing I just thought about is if you're running 98, and the drive is formatted as NTFS, then you won't get it to recognize the drive, no matter what you do. You may want to take the drive to someone else's computer to see if it gets recognized there on the other computer, at least to rule out that the drive is bad. You might want to Google your problem, detailing the model and serial number of your drive, if you have it, and the problem you're having, and see if you can turn up anything that way. If you'd like, let me know the model of your drive, and the size, as well as what operating system you're using, and I'll run a cursory Google search for the problem for you, and post my results.

Re: [JAWS-Users] question about installing windows servis pack 3
Hi Mich, While I agree that installing most Windows Updates are essential to running a safe and well functioning machine, that's not always the case. Although, I'm sure that the release of service pack 3 into the mix was done for a reason, not simply as a convenience for it's users. After all, when have you ever known good old Bill to do anything for his customers. I'm sure there are updates that are not included in the previous updates in that service pack, as when you go to update your computer, the size of the service pack is only something like 17 megabytes, not the 200 or something the entire pack is from the download site. This essentially means that there are updates, assuming you've kept your computer relatively up to date until now, over and above those that have already been released. As you've seen, and I can confirm this on my system, and a few others I've installed for people, I and those other people have had no problems running service pack 3, and have found no distinction between one and the other. Now, and I need you to listen to this next part closely, Mich old friend, this is your computer we're talking about. Get me? Your computer has demonstrated that if it can go wrong, it will, and I'm not putting you or your computer down, well, I may be, a little, smile, but even you have to admit that you haven't had the best of luck with a computer, and that's a harsh truth we have to face in making this decision, so you have to ask yourself, if you're prepared for the possible problems that may arise out of running service pack 3, and you better make sure you have a back up plan, should things go wrong for you. On the other hand, you may find that service pack 3 runs perfectly fine on your computer, and you can't even think of what you were so afraid of. Well, until you have another problem with Outlook Express. LOL. In any case, you're the only one that can make this decision, but what ever decision you make, I'll be here if you need me. You have my contact info. Good luck.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws reading PDF
Hi Curtis, That's what I was thinking also, as I don't have the Adobe Reader installed on my system, I only have the pro version, which is why I'm probably the only person suggesting this option. Can one save the PDF under another format, such as TIFF, under Adobe Reader? If so, Microsoft word will use it's own OCR to read the page and present it's output in Microsoft Word for the blind user to read, just as an alternative to buying those more expensive OCR packages like Kurzweil or Open Book.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws reading PDF
Hi Flor, If one owns a scanner, then it stands to reason that the scanner's software contained a TWAIN compatible driver that Microsoft Word can then use to OCR the page in Microsoft Document Imaging, which you can find in the Tools menu of the Microsoft Office sub-menu in the start menu.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws reading PDF
Hi Flor, I guess the difference is that I always do a full installation of any software I place on my system, this way I'm not hunting for any CD's later on when I do need that part of the program. I remember making that mistake the first time and never making it again. Once you make sure the entire suite of programs is set to run from the computer, then you're pretty much set, however, if you find you didn't install it, you can just pop in the CD and re-install it, as it is a free add-on to the suite.

Hi Max, Exactly what part of it doesn't work anymore? I have all updates installed on my version of Office 2003, and have found no affect on Microsoft Document Scanner or Imaging, and am able to freely scan and import my documents to Microsoft Word with no problems. Let me know exactly what problems you're having with this process and we'll see if we can't help you, that way you don't have to purchase those other programs, and can read everything you need with Jaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws reading PDF
Hi Dwight, Once you open the document, go to the document menu, and arrow down to Recognize Text Using OCR sub-menu, then arrow down to Start, if not already there, and press enter. You'll be confronted with a dialog box asking what language you want to use to recognize the text. It should say English US, so all you have to do is arrow down to the start button, and press the spacebar. At that point, Adobe should start looking for and making the document as accessible as it can using it's own OCR. Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws and Windows Media Edition
Hi Folks, Is there any version of Jaws that will work with Windows Media Edition? I seem to recall that the pro version did something with it, but I can't remember if that something was worth taking into consideration or not. Smile. In any case, a friend of mine is having trouble with her computer, and she asked me for help. When I loaded Jaws 9 on it, I found I was having trouble getting focus on things, and keystrokes weren't the same. For example, when I would go to get the windows list with insert+F10, it was like I pressed Jaws key+H, to get available Windows hotkeys, and the help topic for hotkeys with windows would pop up. Needless to say, I was really frustrated by the time I was finished, and I'm not even finished, as there were, at last count, 798 viruses on her computer. Now, now, I know that those are probably spyware and viruses lumped together, but regardless if it is or not, I need to remove that for her, especially if she wants her kids to use the computer. So, the question still stands, is there a version that will work with Media Edition, and if so, which one is it? Thanks all for your help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and Windows Media Edition
Hi Aiden, So, by your reasoning, if the pro version of Jaws works with Media edition, why am I having such trouble? From all the talk I've seen on the differences between the pro version the regular version, it's only an authorization difference in the two versions, and so the accessibility doesn't change between the two. Am I wrong about this? What is the difference between the two versions that allows it to be more accessible with media center, while the other is not?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and Windows Media Edition
Hi Aiden, So with that in mind, as the saying goes, where's the beef? Like I said, not only were there focus issues when I was using the computer, but the hotkeys were all messed up. Insert+F10 to bring up the window list, and got help instead, and don't even get me started on trying to close a window, the damn thing just wasn't having it. Alt+F4 didn't work no matter what I tried. All of this leads me to believe that there was some kind of focus issue working there, but again, that doesn't explain the window list keystroke and getting help instead. Now, I didn't take into account the fact that the keyboard was a multi-media keyboard, where the six pack was vertically placed on the keyboard, and the function keys, 1 through 12 were grouped in numbers of 3, instead of what I'm used to with four, but I don't think that should make a difference, after all, F10 is F10, no matter how the keys are packed together. Unless, these were not function keys at all, but I think the sighted lady would have told me, but not necessarily if she didn't know I was looking for it. Sorry folks, just thinking out loud. Smile. In any case, can anyone shed some light on this.

Re: [JAWS-Users] new computer
Hi Alan, You didn't mention how much ram the computer will have, nor what video card will be running in it. It would also be a good thing to mention what type of sound card, if any, will you be running, and any extra software that might be included in the mix. In my humble opinion, these are the major factors when considering whether Jaws will work well on a new computer. I would also note that since you are getting XP Pro, you'll have to upgrade to Jaws pro, so you might want to take that into consideration when purchasing.

Re: [JAWS-Users] This is the error message I'm getting.
Hi KK, It sounds like a server time out issue, so if you go into the account settings, through tools, then accounts, then highlight the account, in fact, you should do this for all of the accounts you have, tab to the properties button for each account, and control+tab over to the advanced tab. In that tab, you'll find a slider labelled server time-out settings. Slide this slider all the way to 100%, which should alleviate this problem you have. Like I said, you should do this for all your accounts, as you never know which account you'll need when sending bulky attachments like this one.

Re: [JAWS-Users] I need help with outlook express please?
Hi KK, You can virtualize the window with insert+control+W, which will allow you to move through the window, then copy the line, that should be further down the page. If you find yourself on one of the buttons, keep tabbing and you'll eventually get to the error message. If you don't see an error message, that means the errors tab isn't in focus, so do a control+tab to put it in focus, then, if not in the area that details the error, tab around until you get to it, but you'll still want to virtualize the window to copy and paste the error into a message for us. Oh, I almost forgot. If you tab around and you aren't getting any details, either on the error or the status of the mail retrieval, then that means that details are not being shown, so there should be a button called show details, or just plain details, and press the spacebar to show the details, then use the virtual cursor to go through the information in that window to copy it for us.

Re: [JAWS-Users] a placemarker question...
Hi Tim, While I realize the actual location of the placemarker in relation to the information you place the placemarker on is subject to change, the actual placemarker, as outlined in the original post, does not disappear altogether, as was the initial problem replied to. I realize, and it's a given, that information on sites like Yahoo, mail or otherwise, or any other constantly changing site, will update information on a daily, or weekly basis, however, this should not cause the placemarker to disappear.

Re: [JAWS-Users] a placemarker question...
Hi Andrew, Your theory doesn't bare out the facts, as I use placemarkers on a daily basis checking my e-mail via web mail, and I don't have to tell you that web mail changes on a daily basis. I would suspect that the issues with your placemarkers disappearing have some kind of underlying issue than just the page changing. I'm sorry I can't provide an explanation, however, I felt it was important to note that I don't believe placemarkers are affected by any changes on the page, as I said, my every day actions prove that much.

Hi Chris, When Jaws is installed on a Vista machine, there are two sets of automatically start jaws options you have to check.

Re: [JAWS-Users] converting multiple files
Hi Andrew, Please find below instructions that I wrote a few months ago on how to do batch conversions using GoldWave. ***Original Message*** If you are in the Gold Wave main window, once it opens up, if you press the alt+F to get to the file menu, then press the letter B for batch conversions, it will open up another dialog box that you can do batch conversions with, or you can choose to do just one file, it's up to you. Once in that dialog box, tab to the button that says add, and press the space bar. Another dialog box will pop up, similar to the save as dialog box, so if you know exactly where the file is, go ahead and type it in. If you don't know the exact file location, just do a shift+tab to the window just above the one you're in, and backspace four or five times, or until your screen reader reads out my documents. Once it says that, just go ahead and find the folder where the files are that you want to convert. Once you find the files, go ahead and select them, either, contiguously, or non-contiguously, and tab to the open button and press the spacebar. Once you press the open button, you'll land back on the add button. If you have more files you want to convert, just press the add button and go through what I just outlined above. If you don't have anymore files to convert, you can tab to the check box that says, convert files to this format. Make sure this box is checked, so you can tell it what to convert the files to. Once you check that box, tab down to the combo box that asks you what file type to convert the files to. You must want to select the exact file type for all the files you want to convert. You can't do one file type for some of the files and another file type for another bunch of files you selected. That's why this function is called the batch conversion feature of Gold Wave. You can only convert the files to the same file type. Once you select the file format you want to convert the files to, tab down to the bitrate and frequency selection. I'm going to assume, for time's sake, that you already know all about bitrate and frequency rates, and just continue on from here to the next step. Once you set the bitrate and frequency rates, do a control+tab over to the file locations tab to set where you would like Gold Wave to save the converted files once their done. You have two choices here. You can either choose to save the converted files in their original folders, or save them in a different folder. This I leave up to you, and I can tell you that this tab is pretty much self-explanatory, so go ahead and make your settings as you see fit. Once you've made your selection, just tab over to the button that says begin, and press the spacebar. Once a dialog box pops up, with an ok button, you're files are done converting, and you can just press the ok button. You'll land back on the begin button, so just tab over to the cancel button, then you'll land on the Gold Wave main window. You can just alt+F4 out of that, and you can go delete the pre-converted files. Just make sure you clear your recycle bin, as those files will use up a lot of space on your computer. I would also recommend you check the files for length and bitrate choice, as you can always go back into your recycle bin and restore the files you deleted, so I suggest you check the files before you empty the recycle bin. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask, and I'll endeavour to answer them as quickly as possible.

It sounds like you have it sorted by another criteria instead of by date it was received. This should fix your problem.

[JAWS-Users] Skype Caller I.D. Anyone?
Hi Folks, I have recently gotten the scripts for Skype installed, along with the two added lines to include Skypewatch, but have found, to my dismay, that the scripts don't have any caller I.D. to them. I thought for sure they would. Can anyone shed some light on this subject? Is there a way to find out who's calling so one can, either, refuse or accept the call? Any help would be appreciated. Using Jaws 9, latest build, with Windows XP home, latest version of Skype and scripts.

[JAWS-Users] Merging Files With GoldWave
Hi Andrew, You don't need to convert the file to the OGG format, as GoldWave will merge and convert it for you automatically while it's merging it. It's really simple and I've outlined the steps below. in the GoldWave tools menu, you'll find a choice titled File Merger... Hit Enter on that and a dialog box will open up. Once the dialog box opens up, you'll land on a list view with nothing in it. This is the list of files you want to merge. Tab to the button titled Add and press the spacebar. This will open up a dialog box, similar to the save As dialog box. Navigate to the first file you want to merge and press enter. You will be returned back to the add button, so press the spacebar again and retrieve the second file you want to merge. *please note that the order of the file you select will decide the order in which the files are merged. They will not merge in alphabetical order, so please choose carefully. Part one should be selected first, and part two selected second. Once you've gotten the two files, tab down to the sampling rate, and set it to what ever you prefer. Once you've set the sampling rate, tab down to the merge button and press the spacebar. Once you do that, a save sound as dialog box will open up. At this point, you'll land on the filename edit field, so type in the name of the file as you want it. Tab to the next field to tell GoldWave what format you want the file to be saved as. You should have the option to save it as an OGG file, so arrow down to the choice. Once you've selected the choice you want, tab over to the frequency and sampling rate you wish to save the file as, and select it. Once done, tab over to the list of files and choose where you want the file saved. Once you've done this, simply tab over to the save button and press the spacebar. It will let you know when it's done, at which point, you'll be able to go into where you saved the file and find it there merged. Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] Updating Jaws 7 to 7.1
Hi Folks, A friend of mine purchased the SMA from Jaws 6 and up. She purchased three in all. She has since updated from Jaws 6 to 6.1, then to seven, or something along those lines. I have advised her that she should update her Jaws from 7 to 7.1, but she claims that it won't authorize her to do so. I was always under the impression that Jaws 7.1 was an update, not an upgrade. Am I wrong about this? I could have sworn, and have confirmed, by looking through the archives, that 7.1 was an update to 7, and so no SMA was required to download and install it. She cannot find her authorization number, and so I only have her serial number to go on. Is there some way she can find her authorization number using the software? I have checked the folder in C://program files/freedom scientific/Jaws7.0 and have found the authorization manager executable file, however, when entered on, it does nothing. Does anyone have any ideas for me? I am at a loss to find out why this is the case. I do plan on calling FS in the morning, but I may not have the time to devote to this, as I have several meetings to attend tomorrow, so a reply from the list would serve me better. I should note she is using XP Home, and the About dialog box says she is running Jaws 7.0 something or other, with zero SMA's left. Thanks for all your help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Should I upgrade to a newer version of winamp?
Hi Lisa, In my opinion, I found Winamp 5.35 was the most stable of the versions released. The new version tries to install extras like Winamp Remote and stuff like that for IPods and the like, which I think is a useless piece of junk, but that's only my opinion. I have uploaded version 5.35 to Send Space for another list I'm on, and posted the installation instructions for Winamp for blind users that I've included with the link below. Feel free to download and use the instructions on how to install it for blind users. ***Original Message*** here is Version 5.35, in my opinion, the most stable version of Winamp out there. No worries about any extra software to install or anything. The instructions on how to install Winamp for blind users is pasted below the download link. If anyone has any questions on the program or the installation instructions, please let me know. You can get Winamp version 5.35 at the following link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qizb0l Instructions for Installing Winamp for the blind user: First and foremost, when you install Winamp, make sure you tell it to do a full installation. Why you should do this will become evident soon. Once you've indicated that it should do a full install, tab down to the list, and Jaws should read that all of the items in the list are checked except for one, that being the Winamp main program. The reason I said that you should do a full install, is because in previous versions of Winamp, the install process wasn't 100% accessible. While it would read the items in the list, whether the item was checked or not wasn't reported by Jaws, no matter what you did, so I devised a way to get around that. I would tell Winamp to do a full install, that way, everything in the list would be checked by default, so I knew that when I pressed the spacebar, it would automatically uncheck the checkbox and everything under that heading. Another trick was if I used the Jaws cursor and examined the graphic number beside a checked item, then pressed the spacebar, then checked the graphic number again, if it changed and was different from the other numbers on the list, I knew I had that item unchecked. Granted, the whole Jaws cursor thing wasn't that reliable, but it worked for me, while it may not work for everybody. Now, after you've indicated to do a full install, as I said, all the items in the list should be checked, except for the first item that says Winamp required. This one isn't checked because there's no need to check it, as that is the main program. There are some things in here that you should uncheck, so if Jaws isn't reading that the items are checked, once you land on the particular item, just press the spacebar once, then arrow down to the next item to uncheck it. The items that should be unchecked are: Winamp Agent Modern Skin Support Video Support * Keep in mind that this is a personal setting of mine, but it is up to you whether you want Winamp to play videos or not* Now that you've unchecked the items above, tab to the next button, and in the following screen you'll encounter a list of items that Winamp wants to do, and you have to indicate whether you want Winamp to do it or not. This is another checked list, however, something I noticed with this version that I haven't seen in any other version, is the existence of a smart install engine. What I mean by this, is that in previous versions of the Winamp install, no matter what you unchecked in the previous window, the items on the second list were always checked, so you had to uncheck them manually. That is not the case in this version. In this version, the items that you unchecked in the first window, were unchecked in the second window. Now, that isn't to say that this will happen on all computers, maybe this was a fluke chance on my computer's part, but a sure way to tell if the item is not checked, and Jaws isn't reporting that it is or not, is to run your Jaws cursor over the first item in the list, and keep in mind the graphic number. This item is always checked by default, so after you've heard the graphic number and committed it to memory, go back to the PC cursor, and press the spacebar on that same first item, then go back to the item with the Jaws cursor and listen to the graphic number. When you uncheck an item in the list, that same graphic number should appear before every item on the list. So what this means is to listen to the graphic numbers after you've gone down the list and make sure that it's the graphic number that is associated with the unchecked characteristic and not the checked one. Now, as for this second list, the following items should be unchecked: Quick Launch Icon *This should be unchecked if your Quick Launch menu is disabled and keep in mind, that if you've disabled your Quick Launch menu, this check box might unchecked by default, so if Jaws isn't reading the item state, whether it is checked or not, refer to the explanation
Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft .NET Framework at jaws users home
Was there a reason this update didn't install normally during the Windows Update process? The only thing I could think of that would stop this process is if you unchecked it when it was announced as one of your downloads, or you are not running Windows XP, and if that's the case, I'm not sure that the version of Sound Forge you're running will work well in Windows 2000 and lower. Any clarification on this?

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 9 and internet address bar
Hi Carlene, If the Google toolbar is installed on your computer, you'll find it in the add/remove programs dialog box, not anywhere else that you mentioned. I would also suggest you go to the view menu and see what is checked on and what isn't. You can do this by opening an internet explorer window, then pressing alt+V to go to the view menu, then arrow down to the explorer bar sub-menu. In that menu are a number of choices that will either have a check mark beside it, or not. If you see the check mark beside an item, just press enter to disable it. I would also go through the toolbar sub-menu also to see what is checked on and what isn't. Lastly, another thing I would look at are the add-ons that are running with Internet Explorer, as some add-ons will interfere with some of internet explorer's functions. I have found that Spybot does that quite often, something I didn't find out until I had to disable each of my add-ons until I found the culprit that was interfering with my surfing habits. Anyway, hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Extracting audio from DVDs
Hi David, Being on a list for movies and the like, we get a large amount of these questions, and I do know that you can select the various languages that may be present on the DVD itself. I have copied and pasted the relevant portion of the help file below for your convenience. ***Begin Help Text*** Select Input Select Input Step 1: select the chapters you want to extract Select DVD-Video Source: Click the pull-down combo box to select which DVD-ROM you want to use for ripping. You can also open a file folder where your DVD files are stored, or open a single VOB file in case you don't have the needed *.IFO files. Default is the first DVD drive with a DVD-Video disc in it. Refresh DVD-ROM: Click the refresh button or press accelerator key Alt+F to refresh selected DVD-ROM. DVD Audio Extractor will try to read form the new inserted disc and refresh it's contents. Browse to Folder: In Open DVD files from file folder mode, click the Browse button or press accelerator key Alt+W to select the file folder where your DVD files are stored. After selection, DVD Audio Extractor will try to read form that folder and refresh it's contents. Note the program needs to read all the IFO and VOB files so when you copy DVD disc to your hard disk, make sure to copy the whole VIDEO_TS folder. Open VOB file: In Open single DVD VOB file mode, click the Browse button or press accelerator key Alt+W to select the VOB (Video Object) file. After selection, DVD Audio Extractor will read from that VOB file and refresh it's contents. Note this is only provided as a workaround when IFO files are not available or contain error. You should always avoid using it unless all other methods failed. Select Chapters: All the DVD titles, and all the chapters in each title are listed out in the tree-list view. If a title contains more than one angle, then all the angles are also listed. Select the chapters you want to play or rip by clicking on the chapter's check box, or active the row in the list and press the SPACE key. If you select or unselect a title (or angle), then all the chapters in that title (or angle) get selected or unselected. To get all chapters in a title expanded/collapsed, click on the +/- mark before the title or, activate the title and press the ENTER key. You must select at least one chapter to continue. By default, all the chapters in first Title (and first Angle, if more than one angle present) are selected. Select Audio Stream: The first audio stream on each title are selected by default. If you click at the Audio Stream grid of a title (or angle if more than one angle present), a combo box with all the available audio streams will be displayed. You can select the one you want to use. The stream you selected will be used on all chapters in that title. You can also active any chapter, then press the Accelerator keys F7 and F8 to navigate though all the available audio streams. Note that when you change audio stream for any chapter, the selected stream will be used on all the rest chapters of the same title. When multiple title are selected at once, the maximal output channels and samplerate will be calculated from the selected audio stream of the selected titles. For example, if you selected PCM (96kHz 2ch) on Title1, and AC3 (48kHz 6ch) on Title2, then the maximal output channel will be 2ch and maximal output samplerate will be 48kHz. Play Selected Chapters: Use the Play Control Panel to preview/playback the selected chapters, so that you can be sure those are really the chapters you want to extract. table with 2 columns and 5 rows Start playing the selected chapters, or resume if paused. Accelerator key: Alt+P. Pause. Accelerator key: Alt+U. Go to last chapter. Accelerator key: Alt+. Go to next chapter. Accelerator key: Alt+. Stop playing. Accelerator key: Alt+T. table end During preview/playback, you can click on the Video On option or press the Accelerator key: Alt+V to turn on/off the video. Video preview is by default off to save CPU processing times. ¡¡ Tips: * Press the title Select All will select all the chapters in all titles for you. Accelerator key: Ctrl+A. * You can edit name for any track/chapter by clicking at the grid for that chapter.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Message rules question
Hi Jack, I think the best bet for message rules is the subject line. I don't think your method is full proof. Consider that if a person belongs to a large number of lists, and, invariably, you will get talk on another list about another list, and suddenly you find that other list's messages in the other list's folder, and you lose track unless you're listening to the subject line. Another example I can give you, is that the Blind Computing list makes reference to the Jaws Users list in the footer, so what's to stop those messages from going into my Jaws users folder? You would literally have to be very attentive to the subject lines each and every message. I can cite more examples, but I think you get the idea. In variably, most, if not all e-mail lists, will have the name of the list, or some derivative in the subject line, so I think that would be your best bet, as talk of another list in the subject line is very rare indeed.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making a selection in a combo box
Hi Lisa, In addition to what has already been said, in my experience, I find it best, after you've used the alt+arrow keys to open the combo box, then arrowed down to your selection, and, upon reaching your choice, it's best to close the combo box with alt+up arrow, as this will complete the selection, and, I'm assuming, will refresh the page to reflect your selection. At that point, once the page refreshes, you can simply press the letter C key for the combo box, and Jaws will take you straight to the combo box, assuming that it's the only one on the page, if it isn't, you can just keep pressing the letter C until you get to the combo box you just made the selection in and continue filling out the form at that point. I do this because sometimes the author of the webpage doesn't take us into account, and the fact that we have to arrow through the selections so we can hear what they are, so if we press tab to go to the next form field, the combo box will sometimes not make the change we want, and stay on the original selection, at which point, we have to go back to the combo box, and redo the selection. This way, I know it's made properly and I'm not putting my fate in the hands of someone who failed to take us blind folks into account. Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] display driver update help needed
HI Cher, I have good news and bad news for you. First, the good news... Your problem can be fixed, and the best part is that once you fix that problem, a great many other problems will be fixed. The bad news? You have to do a re-install and format of your drive. My brother made the mistake of doing that, namely naming the local drive another letter, other than C, and it completely didn't allow him to install a bunch of other things, including Jaws and Zoom Text. The major problem is that programs like Jaws and others, look for the default of the C drive when it installs and access the various program functions, so, if you don't have a C drive, you get a number of errors when you go to run a program. I should also point out that the Jaws Video Intercept doesn't ask you which drive to install to, it will automatically install on the C drive, so if there is no C drive, it isn't getting installed properly. I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of bad tidings, but this is the reality as I see it, and, as I see it was garnered through experience with this sort of problem. By the way, who was it that installed the system in the first place? The reason I ask, is if it's a new computer, then you can take it back and get them to install the OS and format the drive correctly. If it isn't a new computer, then who did your last install, as they should be able to re-install the entire works.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about where do drivers go after you downloadthem.
Hi Albert, Once you install the drivers, they will land on the directory responsible for the product you installed it for. For example, if you installed the drivers for Epson, they will go into the Epson folder in your C or local disk drive. Once that's done, in most cases, with third party software, you must configure it to recognize the new drivers in that application's options or settings for the device you wish to configure to work with that application. In the case of Kurzweil or Open Book, and assuming that you've installed a new driver for your Epson Scanner, once the driver is installed, you would go into those programs, Kurzweil and Open Book, and go into the scanner configuration dialog boxes and choose the scanner drivers you just installed. In those two cases, however, you should be choosing the TWAIN drivers to be recognized.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws is reading a strange window
Hi Hussein, Have you noticed any applications in your start menu, or system tray that sounds similar to what the open window is called? If you do, check out the program's options, and also check the MSCONFIG file to see if there are any programs that sound similar to the program giving you the problem. If you see this program, try unchecking it from start up, and see if that fixes the problem. There are two things to make sure of before doing this. First, try doing a Google search for such a program, and see if it details what the program is, and if there's a current fix for it, or if others are facing the same types of problems you are. Obviously, sending out for help on this list is a very good first step. Smile. Secondly, if you are going to uncheck an item from start up, make sure you create a restore point so you can role your system back should things go wrong, especially since you're working without sight.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet explorer.
Hi Sue, Have you found out if Microsoft has a fix for this? You can do this if a dialog box pops up after you send the error report and click the close button. In most cases, there will be a dialog box which pops up afterward telling that for more information, click the link below, which usually tends to be a button labelled more details. Entering on this button will take you to the Microsoft Error Reporting site, which will sometimes give you fixes for such problems. Let us know if that's the case.

[JAWS-Users] Interesting Demonstration on Window's Vista Narrator
Hi Folks, The below was gleaned from this week's top tech tidbits newsletter that I receive every week. Essentially it tells of an upcoming demonstration on Windows Vista's Narrator and how it functions with today's major screen readers, those being Jaws, Window Eyes and System Access To Go. ***Begin Article*** Mine will be the primary voice you will hear on Tek Talk on GMT Tuesday, 8 April at 00:00. We will discuss Windows Vista Speech Recognition: Microsoft's Half-buried Treasure. There will be something here for users of all the major screen readers, as I will discuss and demonstrate the pros and cons of using Speech Recognition with JAWS, Window-Eyes, and System Access. As always, the two-hour program will consist of a presentation/demonstration with plenty of time for questions and discussion afterwards. http://conference321.com/masteradmin/room.asp?id=rsc9613dc89eb2 ***End of Article*** Victor Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [JAWS-Users] FW: AVG Anti-Virus
Don't mean to be the ass here, but I think that people should stop criticizing David's message to Grissoft, and send in their own messages. In the time it took them to write a criticism about David's message, they could have written their own message to Grissoft, and let them know that David isn't the only visually impaired person using their products. The fact is, there is strength in numbers, and the more of us out there telling them we're going to take our money else where, the more they'll be inclined to make the changes we are asking them to. How many other programs out there that initially started off as Jaws friendly, suddenly went the way of the dinosaur when their accessibility with Jaws or other screen readers stopped? What I'm trying to say is, it doesn't matter whether you use AVG or not, you should be sending in your messages letting Grissoft know that their move towards inaccessible products is not acceptable to the blind community, and they are probably losing a great number of their clientele in the process. It's this division in the ranks that hurts us as a community. It hurt us with descriptive video on television, and now it's hurting us in the software department as well.

Re: [JAWS-Users] cassette to MP3
Hi Soo, Depending on where you live, most electronic stores will sell you this cord. As someone else mentioned, it's called a patch cord, but the actual name for it is a 3.5mm to RCA cord. Basically, one end of the patch cord has a typical headphone jack on the end of it, while the other end of the line has two thicker ends, which consist of a center pin, with a metal circle around the outside of the jack. There are two of these plugs at that end, one for the left channel, and one for the right channel. The end with the two jacks plugs into any stereo with a line out, or any electronic device with a audio out interface, and the other line plugs into the line-in of your computer sound card. As someone else told you, you'll have to experiment recording various test files to see which volume you should set your line-in at on the volume control, and what ever sound recorder you are using, should be configured to record from the line-in source. I should also mention that this is the standard for electronic equipment which uses line out ports on the unit in North America, so someone else may advise you if you live outside of North America. VCR's, DVD players, bookshelf stereos and component stereos all use RCA ports for the line in and out, hence my advising you to get the 3.5mm to RCA patch cord.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 7 and NVIDIA Video Intercept Error
Hi Folks, A friend of mine bought a new system, and installed her copy of Jaws7 on it. She is now receiving a video intercept error, and cannot resolve the issue. She has uninstalled the video intercept and re-installed it, but to no avail. She is running Windows XP home, and using an NVIDIA G-Force or N-Force video card. Are there any fixes I can run, or anything I can resolve that can help her? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] recording problems on my hp laptop with vindows vista
Hi Dinesh, Have you turned off microphone boost in the sound properties? This can often be the source of most external sound problems. I would also confirm that the sound you are recording from is indeed the microphone you have plugged in, and not some other microphone source. An example I can illustrate is that I had an external microphone plugged into my laptop one time, and was getting truly awful sound being recorded. When I finally checked the sound source, it turned out that the microphone I was using was the microphone that was on a digital camera I had plugged into the USB port while I was downloading pictures from the camera. Make sure you are recording with the line in, and not the microphone, and make sure that you do a proper test of your microphone, and go to any advanced properties where you see those particular buttons. These properties can be found in your control panel, under sounds and audio devices. This is a multi-tab dialog box, and there are various tabs for speakers, recording and stuff like that. Let us know if this helps you or not, and if not, I'll try to do a more in-depth message on how to check your audio settings.

[JAWS-Users] Question Re: GoldWave Scripts
HI Folks, I didn't see this come through to the list, so I thought I'd repost it just in case. I keep hearing the scripts for Jaws say that you can turn off the extra help verbosity by pressing the plus key to turn them off, when ever I start GoldWave. Obviously, this would be the plus key on a desktop keyboard, so what would be the keystroke to shut off verbose descriptions on a laptop, using the traditional laptop keyboard? I have tried using the PC cursor and other possible ways to mimic the plus key on a desktop, but to no avail. Any ideas on how this can be accomplished on a laptop computer?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Moving folders in OE
Hi Patti, My brother and I use this method all the time when moving Outlook Express folders and e-mails to client's new computers. It is really quite simple, and you may kick yourself for not thinking of it. Smile. In any case, you'll want to navigate to the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\Big long file name\Microsoft\Outlook Express\ Keep in mind that the user name and big long filename will depend on your own system and are different for each computer and user. Once you've found this directory, copy it to a portable storage media, such as a CD, USB stick, or portable hard drive, and keep it aside. Once you've got it on that portable device, set it aside and do some important maintenance on that second computer you want to place the old files on. The important maintenance is the complete updating of Outlook Express. The reason behind making sure that OE is updated is that, presumably, your old copy of OE was updated, so the new one should be also. This also refers to security updates and program updates that may be available, necessary and optional. If this is already the case, navigate to the same location on the new computer, and copy the file folder Out look Express to the same location, making sure to overwrite the files that are already in there. As has already been stated in another message, make sure your folder options are set to show hidden files and folders, and do not go into the Outlook Express folder, simply go as far as the Microsoft folder, and copy the Outlook Express folder into that directory. Once you run Outlook Express the folders and all your e-mail from the old computer will be in their respective folders, and their hierarchy will still be retained. Please keep in mind that this process will not bring any of your message rules or view settings along, so you will have to redo that part of it again, but I think this is the simplest way of doing this, and, as I said, this is the process we use when our clients want to back up their data from a previous drive onto their new computers or drives.

[JAWS-Users] New Jaws Friendly Recording Software for Skype Users
Hi Folks, Managed to glean this from another list, and thought some of you may be interested. ***Original Message*** CallBurner: Finally, Fully Accessible Skype Call Recording is Here at Last! By Darrell Shandrow The people at Netralia, developers of the Skylook Skype call management and recording application for Microsoft Outlook, have recently released a new Skype call recording product that does not depend on Outlook. The new CallBurner application enables annotation and recording of all Skype calls while providing a clean, simple user interface. LINK: http://www.callburner.com/ After learning of the existence of this new product, I downloaded a trial copy of the software. While finding it reasonably usable for basic call recording, I found the call detail window largely inaccessible with any screen reader, including JAWS, System Access and Window-Eyes. I promptly wrote a short note to the company's support e-mail address requesting accessibility enhancements to permit full use of CallBurner with screen reading software. On Thursday, July 5, I was absolutely flabbergasted to receive a response from the company's senior developer offering a beta copy of an accessible version of the software for my testing! This response came in less than three weeks of my initial request! After downloading the test copy of CallBurner, I immediately began to put it through its paces. After enabling Screen Reader Compatibility in the Accessibility sub-menu of the program's System Tray icon, I was instantly delighted to discover extensive keyboard navigation, a tabbed Call Details dialogue box and full accessibility without need of screen reader configuration or scripts. Follow these steps to enable Screen Reader Compatibility after downloading and installing CallBurner: Minimize all running programs and focus on the Desktop by pressing Left Windows+M. Press JAWS Key+F11, Modifier+F11 (System Access) or Insert+S (Window-Eyes) to open the System Tray menu. Down arrow to CallBurner and press enter to right click its System Tray icon. Press enter on the Accessibility sub-menu. Press enter on Screen Reader Compatibility. This is the only option currently found in the Accessibility sub-menu. The following dialogue box is shown: Screen Reader Compatibility is now turned ON. NOTE: You need to restart CallBurner for this change to become effective. Press enter on the OK button to accept the change. Press JAWS Key+F11, Modifier+F11 (System Access) or Insert+S (Window-Eyes) to return to the System Tray menu. Down arrow to CallBurner and press enter to right click its System Tray icon. Up arrow to the Quit option and press enter. Press the Left Windows key or CTRL+Escape to open the Start menu. Press p to open the All Programs menu. Down arrow to CallBurner and press enter to open its sub-menu. Press enter on CallBurner to start the program. The Call Details window opens, presenting a tabbed dialogue box that delivers a fully accessible user interface to all CallBurner functions. Press the End key to move to the Help tab. Press the Tab key once to select Browse On-Line Help and press enter to open CallBurner's documentation in a typical web browser window. This help will serve to get you started with CallBurner in short order. The latest version of CallBurner, incorporating the Screen Reader Compatibility enhancement, has been made available as of Saturday, July 7, 2007. I highly recommend CallBurner to anyone, blind or sighted, who needs to record Skype calls. The ability and willingness of the developers to make their software accessible in less than three weeks of such a request demonstrates the commitment of this company to high quality, reliable customer service and technical support. We should all send a quick note of thanks to the CallBurner Team expressing our appreciation for their prompt attention to our accessibility needs and encouraging their developers to continue the excellent work in this area for all their software.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 9.0 and the windows xp pro log on screen
Hi Don, If I'm not mistaken, doesn't Jaws 9 allow for two sets of start ups? When I installed the demo version on my wife's computer, it asked me if I wanted to start Jaws at the log on screen, and at windows start up. Mind you, my wife is running Vista business edition on her laptop, and all I wanted to do was install the demo version so I could diagnose any problems that might come up from time to time, and to install some extra programs that didn't come with her laptop when we bought it, but I distinctly remember there being two different questions that Jaws asked me when I was configuring the program. The first was whether I wanted Jaws to run at the log on screen, followed by the second question of whether I wanted Jaws to run when windows started up.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Backing out of files
Hi Tim, You don't have to view folders in web view for it to work, as the alt+left and right arrow keys are keyboard shortcuts for the back and forward buttons on the toolbar. This is also a Windows shortcut key, not Jaws specific. If you don't believe me, press alt+V to go to the view menu, then arrow down to the option called go to, which is a sub-menu. In that sub-menu are the options to go back and to go forward, which are the alt+left and right arrows respectively. This is equivalent to pressing the back and forward buttons on the toolbar that a sighted person would see just below the file menu. If you are on the sixty-fifth folder down in the list, and you enter on it, only to find that it's not the folder you wanted, pressing alt+left arrow takes you back to the sixty-fifth folder in the list. Likewise, if you come out of the sixty-fifth folder, only to see that you've forgotten to check something, you can press the right arrow to go back into the folder, and land on the last file you looked at or had highlighted. As has been stated, some programs interfere with this function, and, in some cases, improper configuration of settings on the computer in question will also interfere with this function. I was going over someone's computer settings the other day, and once we had finished configuring her system to work optimally with Jaws, she found that her alt+left and right arrows functioned again, after not functioning for the longest time. Hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS on thumb drives
If someone already has Jaws authorized on the host computer, why would one go to the trouble of plugging in the thumb drive in the first place. Why not just use the version of Jaws already present on the host computer? The only reason I could see for using your own thumb drive version of Jaws is if the host computer's version of Jaws is not working, or there are sound difficulties not allowing for the host computer to use it's own Jaws, but if that's the case, wouldn't those same circumstances affect the thumb drive's version of Jaws also? Just trying to wade through my common sense.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS word 2003 and spell check
As has already been stated, once you highlight the word you want to spell check, you would place the cursor at the beginning of the word, holding down the shift key, right arrow until you've highlighted the entire word. Once it's highlighted, press the F7 key, and the spell checker will check that word. Once it's done spellchecking that word, it will ask you if you want to check the rest of the document, at which point, you should select the no button.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptop Advice
Hi Tony, I beg to differ with you on that score regarding Toshiba laptops not having a home and end key. There are a series of four keys on the right of the keyboard, they are the home, page up, page down and end key respectively. I'm typing this on a Toshiba laptop right now. I have never seen a laptop without a home and end key, so I'm wondering what your statement is based on?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptop Advice
I also forgot to add that if the laptop doesn't have a home and end key, then it must not have the page up and down keys also. This would essentially make the laptop very hard to use, and, indeed, shorten it's lifespan on the market, since most people are looking at portability without sacrificing performance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptop Advice
Hi Carlene, I owned a Sony Vaio PCG-FRV25 just over a year ago, and it had a home and end key. Did you actually have someone sighted look at the keyboard for you and tell you that there wasn't a home or end key. As I recall, those two keys were on the right side of the keyboard, just after the enter keys, along that vertical axis. Do you not have these extra keys?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Top and Bottom Edge Alert Question
Hi Carlene, While I can appreciate you getting tired, the fact is, when I am going through my e-mail, Jaws says bottom when I reach the end of the new e-mails I have to read. My friend enjoys this fact, and she and I agree, that when you are going through 400 e-mails, you want to know when you've reached the end of the list, instead of Jaws just stopping and not saying anything. We have checked her verbosity settings, and they indicate that top and bottom edge alerts are set to sound, but again, there is no sound or speech when the bottom of the e-mail list is reached.

Re: [JAWS-Users] o.t: downgrading to windows XP sp1
Hi Dennis, When you open up the add/remove programs dialog box, make sure the checkbox to show windows updates is checked, at which point, you can simply look for it in the list of programs. Windows will automatically tell you whether that update can be uninstalled or not.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Top and Bottom Edge Alert Question
Hi Rosemarie, Why is it not a good idea to have the preview pane on? If it relates to viruses or spyware, then there are ways to mitigate those issues. If it relates to something I may not know about, could you let us know why? I have been using the preview pane ever since I started with e-mail and Outlook Express, and have never had an issue.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Copying files from various directories
Hi David, In his defence he was pretty specific. At least that's my take on it. I understood that he was trying to append to the clipboard files instead of text, where he could take files from multiple folders and place them/copy them into one folder. Was I wrong about his intention?

[JAWS-Users] Top and Bottom Edge Alert Question
Hi Folks, A Friend of mine asked me how Jaws could tell her that she is at the top or bottom of the messages list in Outlook Express. I have tried the insert+V command with her, but it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. I thought about the possibility that something may need to be tweaked in the configuration manager, but for the life of me, I can't find where to check that setting in there. As I said, I have tried the insert+V command, and the customary verbosity dialog box pops up, and under top and bottom edge alert it states with sound. Once I press the close button, it's like Jaws was never modified, and I still don't know where to check this option in the configuration manager. She is using Jaws 9.0.519 on a laptop running Windows XP, Outlook Express 6 and Internet Explorer 6. If it means anything, when she reads the message body, she does get a sound at the end of the message, but never in the message list. Another thing I should mention is that she is reading her messages with the preview pain turned on, and indeed, reading her message via the preview pane, not going in and opening the message individually. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Yahoo Messenger archive error
Hi Cesar, I have also gotten messages of this type, but they are not associated with any particular application. If you run a good Spyware detection application and run a registry cleaner, like Reg Scrub XP or Reg Clean, it will fix the problem. Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] Installing Jaws 8 on Windows Vista Business Edition
Hi All, I have installed a demo version of Jaws 8 on my wife's new Windows Vista Toshiba laptop running the business edition. Once the install is done, I get a video intercept error when I install the video intercept. I get a dialog box asking me what I want to do, and the only choice I get with Jaws is the second one, which says install video intercept and restart the computer, however, when I press the spacebar on the execute button, I get the error message that the DC something or other has an error, and the only choice is the ok button. Is there a fix for this? I have confirmed that I am running the 32 bit version of Vista, and I am logged on as an administrator. Am I to assume that the only way I can do this is by using Narrator? Also, how can I do this if I have to shut down Jaws in order to be able to use Narrator properly. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Winamp Question
Hi Donny, Try the F11 key. That is the keystroke most commonly associated with making an application's video full screen. It's the same in Windows Media Player and QuickTime. To revert the application back to normal viewing, you would press the F11 key again.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and computer games
There is a game called Word Target, released by BG Games. It's made for both blind individuals and low-vision. The game uses the Windows SAPI TTS, and you play it by taking the nine letter word given, and creating as many words as you can using those nine letters, but containing the letter in the center of the grid. It's quite addictive and free.
