A two-pronged question. 1. My PC just did an update, and whether this has anything to do with it or not, when I went on Youtube to play my purchased movies, I get the following: Alert, error, cannot play, try again later. Note that I can play other videos, and I can play my

I am using the same MAGic & JAWS. I really liked Zoomtext but I am not willing to buy a problem moving back to it. George A. Martinez, CPA O-602.368.8854 F-206.666.2589 C-602.368.5424 "I've learnedThat everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs

Re: [JAWS-Users] ZoomText Fusion List

Hi Mauricio, Thanks for the info. I am running Windows 7. This is my work computer so I can't upgrade. I wonder if this may have any bearing on my issues. I am running JAWS 18, not 2018. I am running ZoomText 11.7 as this is what was in the download of Fusion I installed last weekend. Pam

Re: [JAWS-Users] ZoomText Fusion List

Hi Pam, I have not experienced the issues you described. I am running Windows 10 and all appears to be working as it should... mostly. Here is how I have my ZoomText Fusion configured: Only JAWS starts when I start my computer. When I want the magnification portion of Fusion to be launched,

Re: [JAWS-Users] ZoomText Fusion List

Right now, I'm using Jaws 18 and Magic 14 at a very high magnification. Magic allows me to see what I am writing in emails and in word. It tracks the cursor. I have it set for light colored letters on a dark background. Basically, I'm depending on Jaws. But Magic really helps as a backup. Perhaps

Hi George, It could be that there is something about my computer that is contributing to the issue. What concerns me is the apparent lack of knowledge by the tech support staff regarding this product. Pam From: JAWS-Users-List

Re: [JAWS-Users] ZoomText Fusion List

Pam, What you are experiencing is not VFO's hoped for result. I had been planning to switch from MAGic & JAWS to Fusion next month. 6 or 7 years ago I was using Zoomtext and began using JAWS at that time but had to give it up as the two programs fought with each other. Freedom Scientific told

Re: [JAWS-Users] Disabling Cortana or Any other Pragram I'm not Using

Hi. In order to do this, you must be comfortable with using the Windows Registry editor. Before you go about doing this, you should verify that cortana is actually be used first. The reason I say this is that, for some reason I do not know, JAWS will sometimes say "cortana" when you hit the start

Re: [JAWS-Users] Revealing File Extensions in Windows 10

And knowing a file's extension is simply the quickest and most efficient way of determining what sort of file it is. Also, Windows does not always exactly report file types correctly. For example, if you have certain programmes installed, like media players like Winamp, for example, windows will

Re: [JAWS-Users] ZoomText Fusion List

Hi Mauricio, Thanks for your reply. I also mostly use JAWS, but do have a very small amount of vision and sometimes need to use ZoomText magnified at a very high level. I installed Fusion last weekend, and for a day or so, it seemed to work ok except that ZoomText didn't appear to be tracking

[JAWS-Users] iCloud?

How can iCloud be made accessible. My cousin said I had an update from Apple and she restarted the computer after it downloaded and left. This morning I was in the iCloud window but nothing yielded anything I could do, have no clue if it wanted info from me, no cursor read anything useful. Why?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Revealing File Extensions in Windows 10

I'm using Windows 10, Fall Creator update. Perhaps you've already tried this, but if the view is something other than details, sometimes you have to arrow sideways, rather than up and down, to find all the views. If control-shift-6 does not work for you (I don't get a menu-it just changes) press

Re: [JAWS-Users] Revealing File Extensions in Windows 10

When I press control-shift-f6, it comes up with the view submenu, but only says things like "large icons", "small icons" etc. There's no 'details' item there. Cheers! Michele - Original Message - From: JM Casey To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com CC:

Microsoft, in it's infinite wisdom, has chosen to hide extensions for known file types since at least Windows 98. Over the past 17 years, I have instructed others to turn this off for the following reason: Many people receive files as attachments in their e-mail, and will open them based solely
