First, have you installed the program; next create a user name and password, I had Pandora on my phone so I used the same log in procedures and all my stations were loaded into hope when I logged in. I have had the program for some time now, so I do not remember the exact steps. After doing this, you can use your tab key and go through the various options, when you land on the search option hit enter and type in a particular artist you would want to listen to and hit enter, you will receive a list of artists or songs with that name; hit enter on the one you want and it will be added to your list; continue to do this, I think there is a limit of 100 artists. When you want to listen to a particular artist, bring up hope and it should automatically login, it will then show you your list of artist, you can down arrow through your list until you find the one you want or tab until you hit listen and hit enter or you can just hit enter on the artist you want.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Major Outlook 2010 Problem
Hi, I hope the following will work, if nothing else does. Although I don't use Outlook, I'm thinking that your Outlook 2010 personal account is re-loading all of your gmail including all email stored in your gmail Trash folder from the Web, every time you freshly run Outlook 2010. 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.

In order to load Outlook without add-ins, you have to exit Outlook and type the following command in a RUN window or in a Windows command prompt: Outlook /safe:3 Please note that, while the above command will cause Outlook to load with no add-ins, the add-ins are still going to be displayed in the Add-in Manager window. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of david Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2015 2:37 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Major Outlook 2010 Problem hello there; although I do understand your delemma however, I don't think the problem of outlook sluggishness is to do with the size of the data file.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Major Outlook 2010 Problem
Andy: Any e-mail that I get with attachments is either deleted if not useful, or saved on an external storage device. This is what puzzles me so much. Because I easily get several hundred e-mails a day either at work or via my personal account, I try to be very good at managing things. I think everything is being stored in a huge data file somewhere, and I'm not sure where that might be.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Major Outlook 2010 Problem

Rather than just deleting messages, I created annual or semi-annual personal folder files (.PST) and archived off those date ranges to those files. 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. Takes a bit of time when you first start archiving them off, but Outlook does run more quickly once you've done it.

Tom, someone with Outlook 10 might tell you how to get there, but in Outlook Express, you go to Tools, Options, and detail tab. You can tell the program how many emails to hold - have mine set on 1,000. I'm sure someone on the list can tell you how to do it in Outlook 10.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Major Outlook 2010 Problem
Tom, Here's what I recommend...and have done so with all my work-related email. Rather than just deleting messages, I created annual or semi-annual personal folder files (.PST) and archived off those date ranges to those files. 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. Takes a bit of time when you first start archiving them off, but Outlook does run more quickly once you've done it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Re: [EXTERNAL] Major Outlook 2010 Problem
Tom, In files/data management you can pull up a list of any PST files you are using with Outlook. Then when you edit or modify the main PST file you should have the capability to compact it. That should eliminate any excess storage area that's being set aside for consumption -- possibly which you have or will never use. If your PST file is set to accept 10 Gb of data but only uses 1 Gb then you should compact it down to 2 Gb, perhaps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Major Outlook 2010 Problem
Hi Tom, Since you indicated that you are very good at deleting unwanted items, I'd take a look at cleaning up your data files. Remember that when you simply delete an item, it just goes into your deleted folder. Check this first and if you have a huge number of items here, you can permanently delete them. Next, I'd take a look to see if your data files are being automatically compressed. I'd go ahead and manually compress them.

Definitely, clear out as many as you can. As many as I get, I stay on top of that.

Your deleted gmails could all be in there, and taking up a good deal of space. You'd therefore need to empty the Trash folder first in GMail. -Original Message- From: Tom Behler Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2015 4:41 PM To: Jaws users list Subject: [JAWS-Users] Major Outlook 2010 Problem Hello, everyone. You may remember that, last week, I posted a quiry to the list regarding an increasingly sluggish Windows 7 desktop computer with Jaws, to the point that it became unusable. I originally thought the problem related to some sort of a virus I had gotten, since it seemed that something in internet explorer was constantly running. I think that might have been part of the problem, but after taking the computer to a local computer repair shop, it seems that the biggest problem is with Outlook 2010.

It contains something like 10 gigs of material, and is constantly running, and trying to refresh itself. I access both my work and personal g-mail accounts via Outlook 2010, and am very good at deleting e-mails that are no longer of use to me. I also periodically check my all mail folder in my personal g-mail account to be sure that deleted e-mails are not showing up in there. I guess my question is this: Should I totally un-install Outlook 2010, and re-install it again? Or, is there some way I can correct this issue with my currrent version of Outlook 2010? My University currently uses Office 365, which I know contains a version of Outlook, so I'm wondering if that might be another way to go. The computer tech at my local computer repair shop advises me to forget outlook, and just access my personal g-mail via the g-mail web site, but I have not had the greatest luck navigating that web site with Jaws 14. I'm not sure if such an approach would work with my work e-mail account either. Any wisdom that can be shed on this issue would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [Bulk] Major Outlook 2010 Problem
Dave, I'm doing that too, was filling my tech folder with all of the good tips from this list for when I update. So, I have copied and moved the information to My Documents to de-clutter Outlook Express (which, I know is a dead duck, but it's still working anyway.)

Rather than just deleting messages, I created annual or semi-annual personal folder files (.PST) and archived off those date ranges to those files. 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. Takes a bit of time when you first start archiving them off, but Outlook does run more quickly once you've done it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] how to make a slide show
Hi, you didn't mention what OS you would be using or anything but windows movie maker would be an option. It's not the best but it is free, fairly easy and intuitive to use. From personal experience I find the one in windows 8.1 some what better. You can drag and drop or import your photos into the project, arrange and/or mix and match them, set the length of time for each photo to stay in view, add enhancements, etc. Same with the audio, or I believe you can actually use the movie maker itself to narrate the audio directly after you have your slide show together the way you want it.
