[JAWS-Users] Update On Outlook 2016 E-mail Attachment Issue

[Tom Behler]

Hello, everyone.

 

I just installed the latest build of Jaws 2018-version 1805.33, and I am now
able to attach documents to an e-mail at least some of the time.

 

What I mean is that the process works, but not consistently.

 

I have tried the various suggestions I have been given for attaching files,
and they all seem to work at least most of the time.

 

However, there still are some times when Outlook e-mail completely crashes,
irrespective of the attachment method I use.

 

My next steps will likely be to see what happens with either NVDA or
Narrator to help determine if this is a Jaws issue.

 

Will keep everyone posted.

 

Once again, I'm using Outlook 2016 with Office 365 here, along with Jaws
2018 on this windows 7 computer.

I realize this might be off topic for the list, and I might have to call
Microsoft Accessibility on the issue, but my Outlook 2016 in Office 365 has
developed a serious issue.  Specifically, whenever I try to attach a file to

This happens with both my University and my personal e-mail accounts.

 

This issue just started happening a few hours ago.

Aaron,

Thanks for posting your detailed rant. I, too, am enormously frustrated that 
browsing has become so time--consuming and sometimes unreliable. I'm 
constantly switching among three browsers and two versions of JAWS because 
different combinations work best with different websites, and even then some 
websites remain hard, if not impossible, to navigate. The other day, a 
certain website owner had taken steps to make everything accessible, only 
for me to install Firefox 60 and generate a host of new issues. No wonder 
some website designers get frustrated with accessibility obligations.


Developments on the Web seem to be moving faster than screenreader companies 
can keep up with. But I wonder why non-screenreader users aren't also 
encountering limitations with different browsers, since each seems to 
function differently.

Hi.


I switched to Firefox  60, found it still a bit lacking in performance, and 
switched back to Chrome. A site that makes it painfully clear which one is 
winning is amazon.com. Just doing a search for something and noticing how 
long pages need to appear and be readable, and how responsive navigation 
keys arrows and quick nav etc are. Firefox is almost back to what it was in 
52, but not totally. I was under the impression it would run better than 
chrome but that hasn't been so for me.



Edge is reasonably quick loading pages and allowing me to begin arrowing on 
them, but the way it announces going in and out of regions and such is very 
verbose and I find it slows me down too much. I'm really a little annoyed at 
just how much it seems to be asking to have a really good browsing 
experience this day and age. Chrome doesn't have it all either, it can 
easily get messed up and start using all of your ram. I'm not having that 
problem myself luckily, but I have multiple friends that are, each of them 
on multiple computers too.



In any case, I'm not trying to convert you folks to Chrome or anything like 
that, guess I wanted to rant a little.

I am a Windows 7 user, so I'm not sure how well this applies to Windows 10. 
Furthermore, I don't use C Clener. However, I do use a program called 
Registry First-Aid. This program gets rid of unused registry entries. I 
believe C Cleaner may do this, too. If it does, its funcions differ from 
Disk Cleanup. Disk Cleanup is used to obtain more disk space on your hard 
drive or any drive you choose. It does this by removing various temporary 
files which can be customized by the user. One can optionally remove System 
Restore points and programs from Programs and Features or whatever the

Hi Tom,

The easiest way to add a keystroke for this is to add the item to the Quick 
Access Toolbar by opening a new message, finding in the Message tab the High 
Importance button, pressing APPLICATIONS or SHIFT+F10 and choosing Add to Quick 
Access Toolbar item. If you haven't added nor removed anything from the Quick 
Access Toolbar for the message editing window the High Importance button should 
be the fourth item, so it would be assigned to ALT+4.
Since ALT+NUMBER keystrokes are assigned in JAWS for reading Outlook message 
headers, you will have to press JAWS+3 before using the abobe mentioned 
keystroke.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] High Importance E-mail

Hello, everyone.

 

Does anyone know of a key stroke for designating an e-mail as "high importance" 
in Outlook 2016?

 

I can get to the high importance designation via the menus, but would like a 
specific key stroke for doing this if that is available.

 

Am using the latest build of Jaws 2018 on a windows 7 laptop here.

 

Thanks as always!

Good evening;
when you say windows live mail,
are you talking about the windows live mail which has been discontinued by
Microsoft?
the one which is never to be updated?
or are you talking about the windows mail app, with windows 10.
if it's the windows live mail,
the autofill will never work, because there's no jaws scripting, so, even
the NVDA doesn't autofill.
if your talking about the windows 10 mail app, again there's no jaws
scripting, however with the NVDA, there's a windows essentials add-on which
works well.

that if I write the first few letters and press control K, I'd get a list of
relevant addresses from which I could choose. I tried that just now with my

The way you describe how autocomplete is working for you in Outlook 2016 is
also my experience. I often need to press enter on the selection, tab away
from the "To" field, then shift-tab back to the "To" line to confirm the
correct address has been accepted. There are alternative methods, but no
need to go into them. Yes, this is different from my experience with Outlook
2010.

Well, the level 2 guy emptied auto complete because it wasn't working
properly. It was providing addresses that had nothing to do with the first
few letters. He told me that in order to rebuild it, I should write in the
first few letters and then press control K which would bring up a list of
relevant addresses. I should arrow down to the correct address and press
enter. That address would then be filled in and would be part of my
reconstruction of auto complete. So I was trying to send an email to the
blind democracy list. I found the correct address. However, even though I
followed his directions, auto complete filled in a different address which
belonged to someone who used "blind" and his first name and whose address
was in the list. Finally, I went to a word document where I'd stored the
blind democracy address and copied and pasted it into the to field. The next
time I tried to use auto complete for the blind democracy list, the correct
address was filled in, but Jaws didn't read it until I pressed enter. The
Jaws users name was filled in but again, Jaws didn't read it the way it
normally does. I think I had to press enter or manually read the line. So it
seems to me that Jaws isn't working properly with auto complete or auto
complete isn't working properly or something.

Hi.

If you are having problems with auto-complete for entering recipient in the
"to" field in Outlook, here's something that might work. At least, it works
in Outlook 2010, and I believe I once tested this on 2016 at work, too.
Enter in the first few letters of the recipient. For example, for this list,
I might type in "jaws". Write your message and use your send command. If
there's more than one address that matches the criteria of what you entered,
a list of matches will pop up before you send the message, and you can
select the one that applies.

Not sure if this will really help you, but I notice that people often seem
to have issues with JAWS and auto-complete, in that they don't know when an
address has been filled out.

Well George,

Here's my latest report. I was looking at my to Miriam folder this evening
with Magic and its voice, and I noted that BARD sent me an email that The
New Yorker had arrived and was inserted into my wish list. So, in order to
download it, I turned on Jaws 18, downloaded the magazine, and transferred
it to an SD card for my VR Stream. While Jaws was still running, I went back
to my to Miriam folder in Outlook, and had no problem looking through the
list of emails and reading some of them. I then sent a second article to the
blind democracy list and this time, the auto complete  worked beautifully.
The first time, I had to copy the blind democracy address from a document
where I've stored it because the auto complete wouldn't work. I was sure
that if I moved from the to Miriam folder to the inbox while jaws is
running, Outlook would crash. However, here I am, responding to your email
which, with all the other emails from lists, is in the inbox. Outlook didn't
crash. Jaws is fine. 

I'm sure the problem isn't solved. That article that I sent to the blind
democracy list got there, but another copy was sitting around and refusing
to leave or explain why it was there. Eventually some buttons appeared and I
tried pressing them and one of them made the extra copy disappear. I'll stop
while I'm ahead and wonder what tomorro

Miriam,

It sounds as though someone created a "message rule" for your email so that
it goes to that defective folder. You can delete that rule. Try the
following:

Place focus in a message list next to a message where your name is in the
"To" line.

Press the applications key, which is between the right-hand Windows and
control keys.

Arrow down to "Rules submenu." Press enter.

Tab until you hear "Manage rules and alerts..." Press the spacebar here.

Tab again until you hear "Delete." Once again, press the spacebar.

I just went through these steps to make sure they work. However, since I
don't want to remove any of my existing rules, I couldn't go further. I
suggest you keep tabbing from there in case there's an "Apply" button. If
there is, press the spacebar on it. either way, resume tabbing to the Okay
button.

I hope you can follow these steps and that they solve this part of your
email problem.

Imo it's always good to have alternatives. Some people don't want an apple

plans are not cheap and have to justify their cost in extensive use to be 
worthwhile. Different VOIP alternatives are a very good thing, and hopefully 
not going anywhere.

That said, Whatsapp is a facebook product. It's come under scrutiny recently 
because of the privacy scandal that's been in the news the last couple of 
weeks, along with instagram. Facebook and apps connected directly with facebook 
seem most suspect, though, of divulging peoples' personal information without

quick settings that I want to keep for other purposes. I don't need to make

I've just written again to VFO tech support. I'd urge anyone else

see the repair option in the Tools menu Under JAWS in the Programs menu in 
Windows 7 64-bit Pro. I see from the web site that I may need to use the JAWS 
CD I have and that the option to repair should be under Setup. I only see 
Screen Reader, Training Materials, and Cancel. Am I missing something?

Re: [JAWS-Users] BrailleSense U2 QWERTY

[Tom Fairhurst]

I see what you mean about the HIMS braille driver. In some cases, you must 
select a file to continue the installation. I have done so, but JAWS still 
doesn't activate the display. I have put it into Terminal mode using a USB 
port with Windows 7 64-bit Pro and JAWS 2018. I call HIMS, and they didn't 
know anything else to do. My E-mail address is tfairhu...@kc.rr.com. After I 
send this message, I'll reboot and see if anything changes. For those on the 
list wanting to get rid of the load braille driver message, the checkbox is 
located in JAWS basic braille settings when one adds a braille display or 
modify its settings.

Hi tom

I've done a number of these and, if you let the hims driver install where it 
wants to, Jaws should find it.


When installing the hims driver, there are two or three separate pieces of 
software within the driver package. Each one has a Finish Button and it's a 
bit confusing because when you press Finish the process starts again. It's 
very easy to assume you've made a booboo and people often press Cancel or 
close the installer too soon.  just let the thing go round a few times till 
it goes away.
The other thing to remember is to not connect the U2 till the Hims driver is 
finished installing.


Shout if you need further assistance.

All the Best

SB

Hi, I have had this message coming up for quite some time. For me it started

though I followed all instructions I could never get the braille displays to
work. Now I am stuck with this braille driver error every time I load Jaws.
When it first happened to me I ask for suggestions but none of them worked.

Hi folks!  This issue is an oldy but a goody, and one that hasn't been fixed
for me yet.

I have two windows 10 computers, and many times JAWS will not say anything
at the log-on screen indicating that I can type the password.  Sometimes I
can press Control plus Alt plus Delete, and here the prompt to type my
password.  Sometimes, I have to load narrator to find where to put in the
password.  The behavior is inconsistent at best.

I wanted to post this to the list, and see if there is anything I can do to
make JAWS work better in this situation.  Is there a setting that I need to
check, either in Windows or in JAWS?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to Kevin and everyone else who responded, I solved my web site

I'm sure smart navigation can be useful in certain situations, but for me,
it seemed to create more complications than it was worth.

Now, whenever I try to navigate a web page, I get a "clunk" sound whenever I

Tom, here's where the Windows edit field makes life easy. For Disc Cleanup,
start typing "disc" into the field, pause, and then arrow down once. The
disc cleanup option comes up and you just press enter. To get into the disc
cleanup window, press alt-tab once. I suggest having all other programs
closed. It can take a minute or so. Once done, JAWS will start talking, and
you'll be presented with a vertical checklist of items to include in the
cleanup. Make your selections, then tab to Okay, then again to confirm. 

I haven't done a defrag in a while, but I just checked that it comes up
right away in the Windows search field. Press enter and follow your
instincts.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Serious Problem Since Doing Latest Jaws 2018 Update

Leonard:

I should have been clearer about a few points in my earlier update.

I did try Narrator and NVDA, and experienced the same sluggishness and speaker 
static issues.  I also experienced them with earlier versions of Jaws.

Fortunately, I've been working on things now for about a half hour, and 
everything seems to be back to normal.

Not sure why checking the control sound configurations and re-doing the docking 
station interface could have solved the problem, but I seem to be ok once again.

I suspect it’s a hardware problem also because You mentioned something about 
static in your speakers. If you have an earlier version of jaws see if you 
still get the static noise and if you have the same problem with lag time when 
typing and Also you might want to try to unload your current version of Jaws 
and bring up near raider type something in notes or some other editing program 
and see if you get that lag time that you talked about that you were getting in

Re: [JAWS-Users] Serious Problem Since Doing Latest Jaws 2018 Update

[Tom Behler]

Well, you might be right.

I had some sighted assistance a little while ago.  We went into the control
panel and checked on a few of the sound card settings.  After that, things
improved slightly.

Then, I took the computer out of the docking station I use, and put it back
in.

Now the computer seems to be functioning much more normally.

Don't know what might have happened.  All I know is that the problems I had
earlier occurred after the latest Jaws update.

Whether or not the update is truly  related to what I experienced is still
unclear to me.

Perhaps the update temporarily messed with some sound card or other
configurations.

 Hello, everyone.

 

I have developed a serious problem since doing the latest 2018 Jaws update
on this Windows 7 laptop.

 

In fact, it actually is very difficult to type this e-mail.

 

Since the update, my computer has basically slowed down to a crawl.

 

It's hard to type anything, because there is a several-second delay between
hitting a key, and getting a response from Jaws.I also have a great deal of
Static in my computer speakers, which I never had before.  Finally, I find
that I often have to restore focus with Jaws when doing a particular task.

 

I even went back to an earlier version of Jaws, and the problems persisted.

 

I called Freedom Scientific Tech support, and we re-installed the latest
Jaws update.  The problem still persisted.  I even did a Jaws repair with no
luck.

 

Needless to say, I'm not very happy!!

 

Has anyone had these problems with the latest update, and if so, what did
you do to address them?

 

This computer is a Dell business-grade computer, and I've never experienced
problems like this before from the many Jaws updates I have done over the
years.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm going to call Freedom Scientific again in the morning if I have no luck
between now and then.

Hi David and all,

Found it, and it was a fat one, opened it with notepad++, because the
regular notepad would be a wrong choice.
The file Directory:"C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\vlc\vlcrc
"vlcrc" is our file to play with.
Long story short, the hotkeys configuration lines start with the line
number 4000 on that file
the volume hotkey configuration started with line number 4206
I've changed my volume hotkeys into ctrl+shift+UP and Down.
Worked like a big scotch shot.
Now I can say VLC is indeed worth the effort.
Enjoy tweaking it.

[JAWS-Users] Serious Problem Since Doing Latest Jaws 2018 Update

[Tom Behler]

 Hello, everyone.

 

I have developed a serious problem since doing the latest 2018 Jaws update
on this Windows 7 laptop.

 

In fact, it actually is very difficult to type this e-mail.

 

Since the update, my computer has basically slowed down to a crawl.

 

It's hard to type anything, because there is a several-second delay between
hitting a key, and getting a response from Jaws.I also have a great deal of
Static in my computer speakers, which I never had before.  Finally, I find
that I often have to restore focus with Jaws when doing a particular task.

 

I even went back to an earlier version of Jaws, and the problems persisted.

 

I called Freedom Scientific Tech support, and we re-installed the latest
Jaws update.  The problem still persisted.  I even did a Jaws repair with no
luck.

 

Needless to say, I'm not very happy!!

 

Has anyone had these problems with the latest update, and if so, what did
you do to address them?

 

This computer is a Dell business-grade computer, and I've never experienced
problems like this before from the many Jaws updates I have done over the
years.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm going to call Freedom Scientific again in the morning if I have no luck
between now and then.

Re: [JAWS-Users] vlc and dvd/cds

Interesting though VLC will play mp3 files right from a zip archive.  No need 
to unzip.  I don't know about other formats.

Hi.
I don't know what VLC has to do with unzipping files/books. Shouldn't affect 
anything like that.

As for Cyberlink, if you don't use it, just get rid of it. I also remember it 
being far from keyboard-friendly, at the very least. No point in keeping around 
programs you don't use.

Okay, when I downloaded vlc 3.01 again, I was unable to unzip the bard files 
for the nls books.  I had to delete it without testing to see if it worked for 
dvds and cds.  I couldn't get SMplayer to play dvds, but I got it to play the 
cd a couple of times before it quit doing that.  Has anyone used cyberlink 
powermiedia? It doesn't seem accessible, and I'm wondering if it is 
interfearing with VLC when I try it.  the dvds keep coming up saying the 
cyberlink powe rmedia is playing them rather than the vlc.

As Jaws users we shouldn't "have to  put up with it". I also experience this
freezing, both when switching between programs and when doing things in
Outlook. If the fact that Jaws uses a lot of Ram, particularly when
switching programs, I would hope that Jaws programmers and developers are
addressing this, particularly since there is only one other competitor to
Jaws on the market.
We should not have to put up with issues that affect our productivity,
particularly if the issues are caused by the assistive  technology we're
using to be productive!

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS freezing when switching between programs

Hello Mike,
John Justice, here.
I work for the state and use configurations which are similar to the ones
you describe.

In the interest of correcting the problem, I brought it to the attention of
our upper level Access group.  Their explanation doesn't solve any issues
but it might give you food for thought.

1. THE ISSUE AT HAND:  apparently, what we are experiencing is the
assignment of RAM.  Current versions of Jaws tend to utilize a considerable
amount of RAM, especially when changing from one software environment to
another.  The result is that the system has to {wait} for enough RAM  to
perform the function.
2. PROGRAM PRIORITY ASSIGNMENT:  It is possible to assign certain programs
on a PC so that they have a priority when RAM is distributed. This is way
beyond my pay grade Mike but apparently, within reason, certain programs can
be allowed to operate at the expense of others, at least temporarily. There
are exceptions to this rule and certain pieces of software are assigned a
permanent top priority.  I imagine that the Windows operating system might
have that kind of assignment.
3.  According to our A. T. department, reassignment involves the division of
RAM  into smaller compartments which then handle this function.  The entire
process scares the heck out of me.  It isn't something I'd want to attempt.
There might be someone on our list with more technological knowledge than I
have.
4.  A WORKING SOLUTION:  I am now operating two computers simultaneously.
One is dedicated to some of the functions I need while the second unit
handles primary functions.  For example, I use the secondary unit to load
and display Excel spreadsheets.  But even with that arrangement, certain
pieces of software will temporarily shut down Jaws until they are fully
loaded.  The down time has been measured  and it is usually approximately32
seconds.
5.  CREATING HOTKEYS FOR RELOADING JAWS:  Finally, we have established
hotkeys which can be used to encourage Jaws to restart.  Occasionally,
though rarely, Jaws wil not restart after one of these incidents.  We use
three key combinations which are dedicated to reactivating Jaws.

The entire thing is frustrating to say the least, Mike.  But it's something
we just put up with since jaws performs so well in most other respects.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making a keyboard shortcut for restarting JAWS

[Tom Behler]

Matt:

We typically use the shortcut command Alt Control J.

If you can find Jaws listed as a program on your desktop or in your start
menu, then hit the applications key, and use your arrow keys until you find
properties.  Hit enter on properties, and hopefully, you'll be at the
shortcut page.  By tabbing through the list of options, you'll find a place
to enter that shortcut key.  You may have to hit apply and ultimately ok,
but once the shortcut is saved, you then should be able to start Jaws with
that shortcut command if needed.

You can also set Jaws to start automatically when your computer boots, but
that may be going beyond what you are asking here.

Hi, Folks.  I'm one of those former Window-Eyes users who went kicking and

Anyway, my question is:  Is there a keyboard shortcut for restarting JAWS if

an amateur radio operator (ham) and use an interface with a radio that when
plugged into my PC, takes all the sound away, including JAWS.  At that

Thoughts?  Thanks in advance.--Matthew Chao

Hello all!
I installed the new JAWS 2018 update on both of my laptops, and many issues 
in windows 10 are fixed.

The mail app is almost working perfectly.
I get no repeats of words, and the new message I bring up reads right away. 
JAWS works great now, in the One note app. Also, in Edge, JAWS can now list 
the form fields, headings, and links. That helps a lot with Edge. You still 
cannot select text with the virtual PC cursor in Edge.
JAWS 2018, with this update, works very well in the Windows Defender 
security center window. It is very snappy and it reads the information 
concerning the scan. I have noticed that action center works much better 
with JAWS as well, with this update.

If you have any questions, please ask.
Yes, I almost forgot.
JAWS now works the best in Google Docs in Google Chrome browser. You do not 
need to use Firefox anymore to use Google Docs, sheets, and so on.

Google Drive and docs are very snappy with this new update.
Have a great one!

Hello Inamuddin,  I was hopeful that the latest 2018 update would solve the 
Windows Mail troubles as well but was disappointed in the results as noted 
by you and others.
With little to lose, I did a repair on this new version earlier today.  The 
repair took about 4 times longer than the initial successful install but 
since doing this, the Windows 10 Mail program is almost working properly. 
On occasion I have to unload and reload both JAWS and Windows Mail and, for 
some reason, that seems to restore proper behavior on this Dell Desktop of 
recent manufacture.
I would be interested if others with Windows 10 Mail issues find a repair of 
the latest update results in improvement.  Thanks, Mitch

Hi jerry.

I saw your question and even did a quick google search, and couldn't find 
anything. I don't think anyone heere knows. Didn't you say you already wrote 
them an e-mail? If you're not receiving any response, it could be that the 
developers do not really give support for this product, either because it's old 
or because it's not considered a priority. If you're really stuck, and the 
internet can't provide you with any answers on how to make this program work 
for you, it might just be best to move on to a different piece of software.

Windows Defender for anti-virus. Free version of MalwareBytes for
anti-malware.

Defender is already built into your Windows 10 and probably good enough for
your purposes. It's less annoying than free AV out nowadays, which is always
full of ads and hardly ever great from an accessibility standpoint. And it
does detect a lot of stuff. Arguably, too much. But you can exclude areas of
your drive if you are getting false positives.

[JAWS-Users] Windows Mobile Device Center not working

[Tom Vos]

I recently had trouble connecting my PAC Mate to my desk top computer
with a USB cable.
After some investigation I discovered that Microsoft is no longer
supporting Windows mobile Device Center (formerly called Active Sync).
So when my Windows 10 was updated, WMDC quit working.
If anyone else has this problem, there is help available.  At the
website pasted below there are options which may get you going again.
It worked for me.

when it detects jaws a screen overlay is also displayed giving phone number
contact information for people with disabilities.
The other day I needed to call and asked Karen to bring up the page on her I

Re: [JAWS-Users] VFO's Pearl Camera offer

[Tom Fairhurst]

This may be a silly question. Can the Pearl Camera be used by itself, or is 
a scanner required?

Steve, I realize my question sounded silly, but the Pearl is characterized 
as "portable." I suppose portable means you can shift it around your desk, 
but that's a more limited definition than I have in my head, which is 
something like "carryable," as in take it on trips out. But thanks for 
clarifying.

Um, you can't take a photo with the Perl camera if you're away from your Pc.
The Perl connects via a USB cable that is about 36 inches long.

JAWS 2018 purchasers are being offered a deal on VFO's Pearl Camera. I'd
be interested in any thoughts on the value of this device. For example, if
I'm away from my PC, does taking a photo with the Pearl have any use?
Also, how does the Pearl/JFW compare to the KNFB Reader or any other
accessible OCR device? Thanks. If I'm not asking the right questions,
please ask and answer them for me!!

[JAWS-Users] Continuing Problem With navigating list of contacts in an e-mail group

[Tom Behler]

Hello, everyone.

 

I am continuing to have problems navigating the list of contacts within
several e-mail groups I have created.

 

This problem has emerged within the past few months, and I keep hoping that
the issue will be fixed with a new Jaws update.

 

Basically, as I try to navigate the list of contacts in an e-mail group, I
get stuck on the first entry, and cannot arrow down through the rest of the
list in the usual way.

 

If anyone has found a work-around for this issue, please let me know.

 

I'm using the latest build of Jaws 2018, Windows 7, and Outlook 2016 with
Office 365 here.

[JAWS-Users] One Drive Instructions And Tutorial Link Needed

[Tom Behler]

Hello, everyone.

 

I recently experienced an external hard drive failure, and, although I have
been able to salvage most of my files from the internal hard drive on my
computer, I am missing a file I put together of instalation and setup
instructions for One Drive.

 

The file contained some instructions I compiled from various list members,
as well as a link to a very helpful tutorial.

 

If someone can send me some basic one drive instructions, plus the
recently-posted link to the One Drive tutorial, that would be appreciated.

 

If it helps, I'm using Jaws 2018, Windows 7, and Office 365 here.

 

Since I now have office 365 home, with a terabyte of one drive storage, I
think it would be wise to take advantage of this cloud storage option.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Additional Note Regarding Outlook Chrashing Issue When Entering E-mail Addresses Into A New E-mail

[Tom Behler]

Miriam:

The only suggestion I have at this point is to hit enter on the item you get
when you try to open Outlook in safe mode.

For me, it says something like Outlook 1, and if I hit enter on it, I'm put
in safe mode.

Why this is all so necessary is beyond me.

If you can't get things to work, I'd call Freedom Scientific Tech Support.

I'm saying this for two reasons:

1.  They really should help you with your issue, as they helped me;  and

2.  The more people alert them to this issue, the higher it will become on
their priority list of things to fix.

Please keep me posted, and let me know how things turn out for you.

I can't get into Outlook safe mode again. Each time I try, it tells me I

turned off the computer, came back, found your message, tried to open a

addresses into the "to" field of a new e-mail message was to put Outlook in
safe mode.

 

This is continuing to work for me, although I must add that if you shut your

Apparently, the safe mode setting isn't saved, as I have just discovered.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook Crashing Issue When Entering E-mail Addresses Solved, at least for now

[Tom Behler]

Miriam:

Outlook should remain in safe mode if you shut down, and then re-start your
computer.

At least it has done this for me at least so far.

However, I have a Braille set of instructions right here to put things back
in safe mode if the problem recurs.

I sure hope FS provides an update to fix this issue at some point, because I
am certain that others are struggling with it as well.

Tom,

Thank goodness you posted those directions before. Earlier today, I turned
off my computer. Windows updates appeared automatically and I suddenly
discovered that I couldn't send any emails because every time I tried to
enter an address, Outlook crashed and Jaws stopped working.  I just used
your directions and tried to enter an address and nothing crashed. So I'm
grateful. I don't understand what safe mode is or if Outlook will stay in
this mode if I turn off my computer, however.

Solved, at least for now

Hello, everyone.

 

I wanted to let you know that my Outlook 2016 address entry issue which was
causing Outlook to crash has been resolved, at least for now.

 

I worked with Corrie from FS Support, and they are aware of the issue.

 

The temporary work-around is to run Outlook in safe mode.

 

Here are the steps for doing this:

 

1.  If you are in Outlook, close the program.

 

2.  Then, press windows R to go to the run dialog prompt.

 

3.  Type in outlook.exe followed by a space, and then /safe  and hit enter.

 

4.  Then, exit out of Outlook and go back again, and everything should
function normally.

 

I'm not totally sure what safe mode is, but Corrie said it has something to
do with eliminating add-ins that are active when Outlook is running
normally.

 

I also asked Corrie about the problem I'm having with being unable to
navigate entries in an Outlook e-mail group via the arrow keys, and he said
that FS is aware of that issue as well.

 

He indicated that we should all stand by for future Jaws updates that will
be aimed at correcting these issues.

Hello, everyone.

 

This morning, I just discovered a major problem with Outlook 2016 when
originating an e-mail.

 

When I start a new e-mail with control N, I can no longer type a contact
address into the "to" field.  When I do this, I get kicked out of my new
e-mail, and get placed back into my inbox.  In other words, Outlook seems to
crash, and then is re-started after a few seconds.

 

Interestingly, I can go to my contacts list, and copy and paste the e-mail
address into the to field with no problem.  I can also reply to e-mails with
no problem.

 

Once again, the issue occurs when originating an e-mail and trying to access
someone in my contacts list.

 

I am using Jaws 18, Outlook 2016 with Office 365, and Windows 7 here.

 

Has anyone recently experienced this issue, and if so, have you found a fix?

 

I am eligible to upgrade to Jaws 2018, and will do so when I get the chance.

 

However, in the meantime, I'd like to be able to quickly originate e-mails
in the usual way if at all possible.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook Address Field Issue Re-posted

[Tom Behler]

David:

I'm currently using the 64-bit version of Jaws version 18.0.4350.

My computer here is a 64-bit machine.

My next step will indeed be to download the latest version of Jaws 2018, to
see if that corrects the issue.

I'm also going to try Outlook with NVDA.

Other steps that have been suggested include running Jaws in user default
mode; doing a Jaws repair, and checking Outlook accessibility settings.

When I get some uninterrupted time here, I'll try these various steps,
probably in the order noted above, to see if I can correct the situation.

well, you did mention your running jaws 18, but, are you using the
J18.0.4350enu-x64.exe

also you may want to try the J2018.1710.42enu-x64.exe most likely your
office updated, which broke the autofill in outlook.
if the jaws 18 fix doesn't work then go to the 2018.
I had a similar issue,
2018 seems to work in outlook,

Thanks, Mike.

Please know that I'm not trying to unduly bug anyone about this.

It's just that the issue is continuing, and I don't have a way to know
whether my posts have actually made it to the list.

I'll keep working at it here, and let everyone know what if anything I find

Thanks all for your patience.

Hello, everyone.



This morning, I just discovered a major problem with Outlook 2016 when
originating an e-mail.



When I start a new e-mail with control N, I can no longer type a contact
address into the "to" field.  When I do this, I get kicked out of my new
e-mail, and get placed back into my inbox.  In other words, Outlook seems to
crash, and then is re-started after a few seconds.



Interestingly, I can go to my contacts list, and copy and paste the e-mail
address into the to field with no problem.  I can also reply to e-mails with
no problem.



Once again, the issue occurs when originating an e-mail and trying to access
someone in my contacts list.



I am using Jaws 18, Outlook 2016 with Office 365, and Windows 7 here.



Has anyone recently experienced this issue, and if so, have you found a fix?



I am eligible to upgrade to Jaws 2018, and will do so when I get the chance.



However, in the meantime, I'd like to be able to quickly originate e-mails
in the usual way if at all possible.

Re: [JAWS-Users] problem when installing jaws 2018.

[Tom Fairhurst]

If you installed a nontandem version of JAWS, the update feature won't be 
available. Keep in mind that this has nothing to do with whether you are 
using JAWS for home use only or whether you are using it for both home and 
work. Since I am relatively new to JAWS, other listers may provide further 
clarification.

Based on another response I received, I did eliminate one of the Icons.  It
was the one that just said Jaws.

I had to re-invoke the alt control J. shortcut for the remaining Icon, but

Doesn't matter, you could eliminate the Jaws icon, what they are on your
desktop are shortcuts; they are a convenience but they aren't the actual
program?

I don't know which version you had before, but possibly someone re-named it
to just Jaws.

You can run multiple versions of Jaws, e.g. I often run Jaws 16 for some
things that Jaws 18 or the 2018Beta won't work as well with and vice versa.

[JAWS-Users] Still Unable To Navigate An E-mail Group In Outlook 2016 after latest Jaws Update

[Tom Behler]

Hello again, everyone.

 

As I reported earlier, I just updated my Windows 7 laptop here to Jaws
18.0.4350.

 

I was hoping the update would solve a problem that I have been experienceing
with e-mail groups in Outlook 2016.

 

Basically, for the past few months, I have found myself unable to navigate
the names in an Outlook 2016 e-mail group via the up and down arrow keys.  I
used to be able to do this with no problem.

 

Now, it is very difficult to determine exactly who is in an e-mail group,
which, of course, leads to difficulties when trying to update or edit the
group.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, have you found a fix for
it?

 

Again, I'm using Jaws 18.0.4350 with Windows 7 and (Outlook 2016.

[JAWS-Users] Interesting Desktop Icon Issue After Updating To Jaws 18.0.4350

[Tom Behler]

Hello, everyone.

 

I just updated my Jaws 18 here to the latest Jaws 18 build-version
18.0.4350.

 

On my desktop, I now have two Jaws icons.  One simply says Jaws, and the
other says Jaws 18.0.

 

Is this normal?

 

If I wanted to eliminate one of these icons, which one would it be, or
should I just leave well enough alone?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

When I am in the TO: field, I type the first letter of a name.  With
previous versions of JAWS, the first name beginning with that first letter
in my autocomplete list would be spoken.  If I was to hit the down-arrow
key, the next name in the list would be spoken.  I could down-arrow through
the list until I found the name I wanted.  When I hit the tab key, the name
would be inserted in to the TO: field and I could begin typing the next
to-name and repeat the process for this second name.  None of this is
working with the new release of JAWS.  After I have typed that first letter
and hit the down-arrow key, I hear a beep; indicating that I can't
down-arrow through the list.  So, it isn't that JAWS just isn't announcing
it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Strange occurrence turning on the computer

[Tom Fairhurst]

It's been 5 years sinc I purchsed a computer, but I remember finding Norton 
stored on my coputer. Even though it ws not being used, the fac that the 
program was even installed was causing unexpected behaviors  for my 
computer. I had to get hep working with the registry and changing 
permissions with registry keys to make things work properly. As I have said 
in my other posts, be very carefuly when playing with your registry. You 
thik you have problems now, your computer may turn into a complete disaster 
if the wrong move is made--perhaps even needing to reinstall Windows. Good 
luck.

It really has nothing to do with the manufacturer of a laptop.  I have 
owned three HP laptops over the years; as well as Acer and Averatec's.


For the most part, a laptop is a laptop; they mainly vary in how the 
keyboard is layed out.


*CONSIDERATIONS*

Most manufactuers install a lot of "bloatware" on the laptop.  When you 
got it, did you get rid of all that extra crap?

You could start with a program like PC DeCrapifier.

Have you made sure you don't have conflicting anti-virus programs running? 
Again, a lot of manufacturers include trial anti-virus programs. Uninstall 
them if you're not going to use that particular one; most of them supply 
McAfee or Symantek.


Third, look at your bootup programs.  Open the Msconfig program and go to 
that list.  Uncheck things you don't need to necessarily run at start-up. 
Many programs that you install think they need to run at start-up, it 
isn't wholely necessary.  Example: you don't really need Dropbox or 
Microsoft Office etc. running at startup.  You do, of course, want your 
anti-virus, various windows services, and of course, Jaws to run.



As somebody else mentioned, you can find websites to help you identify 
programs and/or processes that you can then consider not being necessary.


After you make adjustments in your MsConfig file, you need to enable 
"selective startup" so that only those items you designated will run at 
start-up.


As somebody else mentioned, if you had a dual-boot setup, you will have a 
delay that they specified so you can choose which operating system you 
wanted to start with.


It may also make a difference if you have a regular disk drive (not a 
solidstate drive), to clean it (get rid of unnecessary and temporary 
files), then take a look at the defragmentation report to see if you c 
ould gain some efficiencies by de-fragging your disk.


This won't affect boot-up times, but it will speed up your access.  When 
you shutdown, you could choose to put your laptop in Sleep mode rather 
than completely shutting it down.  This will put your currently open 
programs and windows into memory, so that when you wake it up, all you 
need to do is enter your password and you'd be up and running again.


And, as a last resort, sometimes you just get so much garbage in the 
installation of windows and programs, that just doing a clean re-install 
of windows and restoring your programs and files after that would be an 
option. To me, it's a pain in the butt, so the slow boot-up times would 
really have to bother me to do that.

Hello,



Jaws 18 and Windows 10 ..



Normally when I turn the computer on I wait approximately 10 to 20 
seconds

and then Jaws will say "Jaws home use" and I'm ready to go.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Strange occurrence turning on the computer

[Tom Fairhurst]

My computer had been starting slowly for a long time. I was having trouble 
with Office 365, so I called the Microsoft Disability
Desk. The lady who helped me with Office 365 also helped me to speed up my 
computer at startup by disabling a number of programs in msconfig. I don't 
recommend looking at this lightly because doing so without knowing what you 
are doing could keep your computer from starting properly. once I understood 
what she was doing, things indeed went much  faster, even though I put back 
a few programs I wanted. Thus, your issues may involve JAWS by itself, be in 
combination wwith other programs, or not JAWS related at all.

Normally when I turn the computer on I wait approximately 10 to 20 seconds

Yesterday, when I turned the computer on after about 5 or 10 seconds Jaws
said "Jaws for windows, overlay windows zero, overlay windows zero, 
overlay

windows zero".  Then, after another 5 or 10 seconds Jaws said "Jaws home
use" and I was ready to go.



I've had this computer for almost four months and this has never happened.
Has anybody experienced anything like this and is this something to be
concerned about?  Thanks for any input.

Hello, everyone.

 

I have recently noticed a problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 17.0.

 

For some reason, words are often run together in the document when I'm
trying to read it.

 

This problem does not appear on the visual screen.  In other words, if
someone sighted looks at the document, it looks fine, with no words or
characters run together.

 

This seems to occur mainly with Microsoft Word documents that have been
converted to a PDF file format.

 

I'm thinking that this problem might be a Jaws issue, because the document
displays fine visually.

 

Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, is there something I need to
change either in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC or Jaws to make documents read more
properly?

 

Thanks as always!
