[JAWS-Users] Outlook 2010 Question
Hello, everyone. I am experiencing a problem with Outlook 2010, that I can't seem to resolve. If I am writing an e-mail, and find the need to leave my computer before sending the message, I often like to save my message in the drafts folder. My usual way of doing this is to hit the escape key, at which time I will be asked whether I want the message to be saved. Of course, I respond by answering yes, thinking that all should be well. However, after I do this, I look for the supposedly saved message in my drafts folder, and it is not there. I check both my local drafts folder, and the drafts folder under my expanded outlook folders. The last time this happened, I even checked my drafts folder on the g-mail web site, under my personal g-mail account, and it was not there either. I have also checked my deleted items, junk, outbox, and saved folders, but no message appears there either. What makes this especially annoying is that I did not have this problem a month or so ago. I'm wondering if something has been updated in Windows so as to make this saving function less easy to perform? I posted this quiry several days ago on the other Jaws list j...@lists.the-jdh.com and although I have gotten several suggestions, none have worked thus far. One other note: I have tried the control S key command as a way to save the message. However no saving options appear when using this key command. Thanks for any help that can be provided. P.S. I hope this quiry is not considered to be off topic for this list. I am a new member, and don't want to wear out my welcome right from the start.

Denny: I'm sorry. I should have been clearer in my last post. I tried this under mail options, and double-checked several times to be sure I was specifying that the messages should be saved to the drafts folder, and hit ok, but the messages don't seem to be saved to that folder. This is what is so confusing to me.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2010 Question
Louise: I just tried your approach by hitting Alt F4 to exit outlook. It asked me if I wanted to save my message, just as it did when I used the escape key normally, to which I responded Yes. Unfortunately, even with this approach, my message was not saved. I could not find it in either my local or g-mail draft, junk, saved, or spam folders. I simply can't imagine where these messages are going, especially since I told Outlook to save them in the drafts folder. On your second note, I, like you, find it easier to find relevant folders in Outlook by simply shift-tabbing to my folder list and accessing my desired folder either via the arrow keys or by first-letter navigation. Thanks for your helpful suggestions, though. I'll keep plugging away at things here. Hopefully others will have additional things for me to try. I'm also going to try to get some sighted assistance here to help determine what might be going on.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2010 Question
Yeah, David, what you are saying is making some sense here. To answer your questions: When I open Outlook on my home PC, I automatically land in the inbox for my personal g-mail account. When I open Outlook on my new work laptop, I automatically land in the inbox for my work e-mail account. In either case, I can switch back and forth between both e-mail accounts on either computer. My personal e-mail account is a g-mail account, while my work e-mail account is an Outlook 2010 account created with Microsoft 365. In all cases, Outlook 2010 is how I access my e-mail.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2010 Question
Wow, this seems to be much more difficult than it really needs to be. The thing that is most irritating to me is that I didn't have this issue with Outlook 2010 up until as recently as a few months ago. Why Microsoft feels the need to make changes that tamper with someone's e-mail folder structures is a major mystery to me. All I know is that it is this sort of thing that is causing more and more people to shift away from Windows-based operating systems for their computing needs.

If you suspect that what you are experiencing is the cause of a Windows update, or more specifically, an update to Microsoft Outlook,you could look through your list of installed updates,and un-install updates to Outlook to see if the desired behavior is restored. This could become time-consuming, but may yield the results you are looking for. Sometimes there are updates to Microsoft Outlook that are not for security, or even critical for that matter, and this is also true of the updates for the Windows operating system. If you decide to follow this path, just make sure you understand what you are removing before doing so. If you have any questions, just sing out! HTH, Rick Justice Everything must be learned, but some things just can't be taught! - Original Message

It seems like after a recent update, I am encountering unusual problems with JAWS which are frustrating and waste time to resolve. The only way to avoid them and go back to a time when JAWS reads as it should is to unload JAWS 16 and launch JAWS 14. By doing this, all problems are alleviated. I do this about 10 times every day now, so you can imagine the valuable time I am wasting. After I type my subject into the search edit field, then the program, JAWS 16, seems frozen and will not move or read. I go through hoops and loops and eventually get it to read. Then, when I get down to the results, the numbers before each different option is not read which is a real problem of orientation. It is difficult to remember where to go back to in order to enter and read results without any numeric representation. I waste a lot of time each day now changing JAWS programs in order to get the program to react as it should. This does not happen on any other websites, including Yahoo or any others. Does anybody else experience these problems? If so, how do you resolve them without launching a different version of JAWS? Eric Demery, if you are reading, perhaps you have some ideas why this all changed abruptly after one of the recent JAWS 16 updates and how we can resolve it as we work today?

[JAWS-Users] Problem highlighting and copying web addresses
Hello, everyone. This quiry relates to the recent thread on reading web addresses, but I think my issue is different than what has been encountered thus far. Basically, my problem is this: When I am on a particular web site, I can initially access the URL web address using either alt D or f6, but as soon as I start working with my arrow keys to make sure I have focus on the address, or to actually copy the address onto my clipboard, the address literally disappears. At first, I thought this was a Jaws issue, in that the address is still on the screen and simply is not being recognized by Jaws. However, I had my sighted wife check, and she said that the address disappears from the screen as well whenever I start working with my arrow keys. I can gget a listing of other web addresses on the screen, but the one I originally wanted seems to be gone. Has anyone encountered this issue, and if so, how did you work around it?

If I can locate the site again I shall give this a whirl. The American Foundation for the Blind Creates an Accessible Video Player and Makes It Available As a Free Download NEW YORK (May 5, 2015)-Today, the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) made its new, accessible HTML5 embedded video player available as a free download. The AFB Accessible Player makes it easy for people with vision loss to play videos online, something that can be fraught with accessibility challenges. People with vision loss need equal access to online videos for school, work and entertainment. People who are blind typically use only a keyboard, but many current video players are designed for mouse only, with no way to interact with the controls via the keyboard, said Crista Earl, director of AFB Web Services. Other video players have buttons with unlabeled images, so people using screen readers and people with low vision can't easily fast forward, pause or rewind the video. The AFB Accessible Player leverages HTML 5 and cascading style sheets (CSS) to allow low-vision users to take advantage of websites' high-contrast color schemes to select the font sizes and colors they find easiest to read. The controls are labeled with text, so they work with any kind of assistive technology, such as screen-reading software, braille displays and screen-magnification software, as well as a mouse. The video can be expanded to full screen, which is helpful for users with low vision. It can be used either as an embedded YouTube player or as a standard player, and the custom control layout supports both English and Spanish languages. The player also provides fallback options for older browsers. HTML5 is the standard supported by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which provides enhanced functionality for modern websites and helps make the Internet more accessible. AFB's own websites are designed for accessibility, and AFB Tech, AFB's technology division, regularly helps businesses to make their online presence more user friendly for people with disabilities. Initially, the AFB Accessible Player was developed for visitors to the AFB family of websites, but because so many developers are looking for specific solutions to make their websites accessible, AFB made the decision to share the player online. This HTML5 player is unlike anything else currently available, and we feel this is a big leap forward for blind and visually impaired users, added Earl. As an organization, we are committed to promoting accessibility for people who are blind or visually impaired, said Carl R. Augusto, AFB president and CEO. We encourage developers to download and use this video player. With more than 20 million Americans living with vision loss, a lot of people could benefit from wide use of this player. AFB's new HTML5 player is available for download free of charge at www.afb.org/player. ### About AFB The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is a national nonprofit that expands possibilities for people with vision loss. AFB's priorities include broadening access to technology; elevating the quality of information and tools for the professionals who serve people with vision loss; and promoting

I tab over to the message option, and hit the escape key, which asks if you want to save the info. I say yes, and it is saved.

Then after creating and archiving them, I disconnected them from my Outlook folders. This way, they are there if I need to go back, just by adding one to my folders and using it, then removing it again. The database files continue to reside on my hard drive, ready for access, but not being constantly monitored by Outlook. For archive files more than 3 years old, I moved them off to a separate hard drive or even a data DVD media.

To delete all of those emails, you may need to turn off the basic HTML view (if you have it turned on for viewing gmail on the Web) so that you're in the Standard View; go into the Trash folder there; and select all, and activate the Delete button, as many times as it takes to clear the cache. You need to do the same thing, periodically; perhaps once a month or more. (You can't do this task in the basic HTML view - preferred by screen-readers.) -Original Message- From: Tom Behler Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2015 1:35 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Major Outlook 2010 Problem John: I have Outlook 2010 on the problematic windows 7 desktop, and on my Windows 7 work laptop which I'm currently using.

David: Supposedly, one of the .PST files in my Outlook program is at least 10 gigs in size, according to the computer tech guy in town here.

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? If continuing to use Malwarebytes proves to be too expensive, I may consider switching to something like adwCleaner. Thanks for any advice.

[JAWS-Users] Can't Enter Text Into Forms Mode EditField
Hello, everyone. I'm still having issues typing characters into the edit box when on the internet with my home Windows 7 PC. I can arrow down or tab until I hear the forms mode sound, but when I type, nothing gets entered into the edit box. I had someone sighted check, and nothing gets entered onto the screen when I do the typing in forms mode, even though the sound indicates I'm in forms mode. I find the issue both in Internet Explorer and in Firefox. And, I have tried performing searches on several different web sites where info needs to be entered into the search box. Is there a Jaws or other setting I should check to troubleshoot the issue? For the record, I'm using Jaws 14 on this particular computer. Thank you!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Need Suggestions For Dealing With Track Changes In A Word 2010 Document
Neil: You've got the right idea about track changes, at least so far as I understand them. As you can imagine, if a great many changes have been made to a document, all of the deletions and revisions will be noted, which can make things quite confusing when you simply want to read the final document. This is why I posted my quiry last night. Fortunately, due to the help of a number of list members, I got a number of suggestions for turning off the track changes, and was able to read the document I needed for work today.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Dropbox Automatic File Importing Problem Solved
Mike: I have quite a few suggestions that I have saved for future reference, but here is what seems to have ultimately fixed the problem. The steps below were given to me by Joseph the Free Tech Guy. ... Thanks Joseph: I know you can be much more specific with all of this, in terms of customizing preferences for particular types of media and programs, but I have decided to keep it simple at this point. 1. Press Windows key and type the following into the Start menu search box: autoplay 2. You will land on the following setting: Use AutoPlay for all media and devices check box. You can uncheck this checkbox, and whenever you place a CD, DVD, thumb drive, external hard drive, etc, Windows will not show the screen which asks you what you want to do with the media you've just placed into your computer's drive nor will it take action on the attached media.

You state that you find instances of IE open when you haven't opened it. That tells me you have some type of rogue software running. Try these things, probably close to the order I'm thinking here... 1. Run an off-line scanner--I use Sophos Virus Removal tool. If that doesn't resolve it, then: 2. From another PC, download the Microsoft Off-line Windows Defendeer. You will see info on this at https://blogs.microsoft.com/cybertrust/2012/09/19/microsofts-free-security-t ools-windows-defender-offline/ You then run this on your possibly infected PC. It will detect malware, rootkits etc. prior to them loading in Windows. 3. If you want to try AdwCleaner you could do that prior to the Microsoft Off-Line Windows Defender. If you don't have sighted assistance readily available for the off-line Windows Defender, then I'd try Adwcleaner first. If those don't work... 4. There might be other mitigation ideas. But, you might have to bite the bullet and re-install Windows 7 to get a clean system and restore your data from an earlier backup. I suppose some people would suggest trying a system restore to a point in time prior to when you started having those difficulties. I'm not confident that would resolve anything, but it might be worth a shot prior to doing a whole re-format and Windows re-installation. - Original Message - From: Tom Behler To: Jaws users list Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2015 6:50 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Internet Explorer Issue Hello, everyone.

I'm thinking of totally uninstalling, and then re-installing Internet Explorer to see if this fixes things, but am a bit hesitant to take this step since all my internet cookies and other settings would be wiped out in the process. For the record, the computer in question is a 64-bit Windows 7 PC with Internet Explorer 11 and Jaws 14. Any thoughts or experiences from others on list with regard to this issue would be appreciated. Thanks for your patience as I try to sort things out here.

Thanks, George. Will give this definite consideration, if my University I T people and some other suggestions don't help.

The link is here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/ ComboFix is a program, created by sUBs, that scans your computer for known malware, and when found, attempts to clean these infections automatically. In addition to being able to remove a large amount of the most common and current malware, ComboFix also displays a report that can be used by trained helpers to remove malware that is not automatically removed by the program.

I had something like that on my old machine. The only thing that would remove it was combofix. If your tech guys didn't find it then you might suggest combofix to them. It removes things deep inside the operating system.

As you may remember, I have been having major issues recently with my home Windows 7 desktop PC becoming sluggish, and slowing down to the point that it has basically become unusable with Jaws. I originally thought the problem was with Outlook 2010, and, although I think that still might be a significant part of the issue, another problem has re-surfaced that actually may be more noteworthy. The problem initially occurred several weeks ago, and I thought it had been taken care of by our local computer repair shop in my town, but, alas, I was wrong. My problem is that I can be in the middle of an application, and little audio clips appear, and start playing from out of nowhere. The strange thing is that this happens when I'm not even in Internet Explorer. If I go into the Windows task manager, and look at programs running, a version of IE is running even though I haven't opened it, and there are web sites that periodically come up that I have never visited. One example that I can remember is called miniclip, which I believe is a games web
