IE 11 works fine for me. If you use autocomplete and want to hear the selection in the address bar, you might have to shift tab, then tab back to it before you start entering the address. Also, for me, every now and then I'll be reading a page, then jaws starts saying blank no matter what you

Re: [JAWS-Users] Questions about upgrading to IE11

I did the upgrade yesterday, no problems. Running Windows 7 64 bit with Jaws 13. I didn't notice a huge increase in speed between ie10 and ie11. The biggest difference was between ie9 and ie10. That said I do think ie11 works a bit faster. Shane On 11/13/2013 8:51 AM, Greg Washington wrote:

Re: [JAWS-Users] tablets

That is a negative. Android and Windows are 2 totally different operating systems. Jaws only works with Windows. Now it would be interesting if FS came out with a Jaws for Android. On 11/10/2013 12:40 AM, Kathy Pingstock wrote: Does jaws 15 work with android tablets? Kathy For answers

Re: [JAWS-Users] ii heard that it is ok to completely remove the battery

It will run that way, but if you have a power failure, better hope what you were just working on was saved recently as the computer will shut down without a battery. I use mine on ac power all the time. Shane On 11/3/2013 6:29 PM, adrian wrote: i heard that it isok to reremove the batery and

Re: [JAWS-Users] is it normal for a lab tops batery to go after one year

Newer batteries are supposed to last from 2 to 5 years. Sometimes they last longer, especially if you take good care of them. Shane On 11/3/2013 9:30 AM, adrian wrote: is it normal for a lab tops batery to go after one year of having the lab top? ```Sent from my iPad For answers to

I can't answer your question about creating a support account. However, here's something you might try. Turn on the boot time defrag if it is not already. This can be found under the settings menu under boot time defrag. I have mine set to run every time, which means it will run every time the

Re: [JAWS-Users] How well is MSE working for you?

I have tried Avg and Avast. Don't like either of them so went to MSE. It works fine. Be aware if you tell it to do a full scan it may take a while. It takes considerably longer than Avg or Avast, but the quick scan is pretty good. I also use Malware Bytes Antimalware. You do have to use the

Re: [JAWS-Users] Wireless Adapter Problems Again

Updating the drivers shouldn't mess with Jaws. Only time it would is if you are updating the display drivers. Otherwise, it should be fine. Shane On 8/7/2013 10:41 AM, Patricia Zoellers wrote: Looks like the issue for unchecking the item in the power properties isn't the problem, since it

Re: [JAWS-Users] What is a good laptop to buy

I've always heard Dell is a good bet. There is also a couple Acers that are supposed to be good. The Acer consumer search likes is over $1000, but you can get a Dell for around $450 or so. It all depends on what you want to use the laptop for. On 8/2/2013 11:04 PM, john melia wrote: I have a

I've tried Avg, Avast, and MSE. I'd go with MSE. I had AVG on the computer for a while and it caused my system to run extremely slow, especially when going through emails. To this day, I can't figure out why. All I do know is that as soon as I made the switch, the computer became much more
