This will open the volume control, and at that point you can simply use the up and down arrow keys, or the page up and down keys to change the volume level. Once you have the volume where you want it, simply alt + F4 to close the dialogue. Use caution when assigning a keystroke to your shortcut so that it does not conflict with a keystroke in another application. If you need help in creating a shortcut, let us know.

[JAWS-Users] Problems with Cdex
I have been using Cdex for some time to convert my cd library into mp3 files and store a backup on an external drive. Suddenly, it is not working. The screen is blank as far as Jaws is concerned and only a few letters according to a sighted person. It is so little information it makes no sense. I am using Windows 7, Jaws 17, a 64 bit machine, and an external cd drive which has worked beautifully with this program and still plays any cd accurately. I uninstalled Cdex and reinstalled it and did not resolve the problem thinking that something had been corrupted. The install said it was removing previous configuration files. Does anyone know what is going on and a fix or a different program to use instead? I like the ease of use with Cdex. But, something is not right now.

Rather the amount of stuff that it is forced to process during the average cycle so far as programs running at startup ETC. Sadly to my way of thinking that most software venders believe their products are so important that they should run all of the time instead of only when needed. For example I use a program called web drive to send things back and forth to the server for you folks to download. A very important bit of software to me but only needed for a few minutes every once in a while. Yet south river technology thinks it should run all of the time which of course I refuse to allow. Therefore that saves my system a lot of resources which otherwise would simply go to waste. Oh it takes a second or so longer to load when I launch it but I'm OK with that minor cost of doing business.

As some of you may recall, I have successfully used the free vbersion of Malwarebytes to get rid of some annoying malware that appeared on my main home windows 7 computer a few weeks ago. The free version is apparently about ready to expire, which means I'm going to have to decide whether to purchase it for more permanent use. Does anyone know what the purchase price is? Also, if you purchase it for use on one computer, can you use it on another, or must a separate license be purchased for each individual computer?

Of course, there is a lot more to using the Email on the site so if I can help you further then feel free to Email me. I am using JAWS 12. You might find differences if you are using an earlier version of JAWS. 1. Find the log in link. Press JAWS key with f7 to list links and then press L until you find the log in choice. 2. On the log in page, enter Email for user id and password. 3. After entering password, tab to service zip code and enter it and then tab to the submit button and press spacebar on it. 4. Use N twice from the top of the resulting page and you will hear welcome and your name. 5. Use JAWS key with F7 to list links, and press E until you find the Email choice and press enter key. 6. A new page tab opens that contains the message list. 7. Press X to move to the checkbox just above headers. 8. Press X the second time to move to the first message. 9. Use down arrow to the link under the checkbox, which will be the subject of the message and press enter key to open it. 10. Use T when message opens to move to the beginning of it. The table contains header information. Just under the table is where the message body starts. 11. Press B to move to the reply, forward and delete buttons. 12. There will be links for show previous message and show next message. You can list links using f7 and press S until you get to either of those links. Links will only be present if there is a previous or next message. 13. If you press B a couple times from the top of the page, you will find a compose button that you can use to create a new message. 14. Just under the compose button is a button for getting mail. 15. Choosing inbox from the links list will take you back to the message list. 16. If you have a message with an attachment, you need to open the message first before you can open the attachment. 17. When the message opens, use the T to move to the table. 18. The attachment link is usually in the table at the bottom of it. After pressing the T to move to the table, use shift+period to move to the end of the table. Use up arrow and you should find the attachments. 19. The name of the attached file should be hyperlinked so press enter on it. 20. You might need to use Alt+N to move to the information bar where you can choose to open or save the attachment. 21.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Norton 360
Mark, I'm not sure I follow your thought. Norton 360 is set up and works fine for a sighted person without Jaws. I find that even if I run QuickScan everyday, it still picks up several tracking cookies. And, my system seems to run faster by doing this. So, are you saying that I could use the Jaws cursor and find QuickScan and run the scan and see the results? Or, are you saying that I only really need to run the Quick Scan once a month?

Yes, a person does have to use the JAWS courser to handle several of the functions when one is setting it up. However, once that is done one can pretty much ignore it. So, the worries about changing settings... are only something a person might do once a month or so. God bless, Mark Hi. I hait Norton. I think that Avast! 5.1 is the best out there.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Norton 360
am confused. I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7. First, there's a function key beside the control key. I assume I am supposed to press that along with the top row key to get a f key. When I press that Func key and the 11th of those keys with the numpad zero because I have a numpad like a desktop, nothing happens. Then, you said tab to right click. I'm must be missing something. Are you saying tab once and then right click?

Then press N. until you land on Nortons 360. Next, tab to right click and press enter. Finally, Up or down arrow to quick scan and press enter. This is how I run the quick scans. I try to always get nortons set to delete all cookies. So, the rest is automatic. Other wise when the scan is done one needs to use the JAWS curser to delete the cookies. It works either way. Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows Live Mail
That is exactly what I did because I don't know where the application key is on this machine. I have to have a sighted person find that soon. Thanks to you and the other person too.
