RE: JAWS Developer Tools or Developer Resources for C# WFP XAML
Thanks for the reply. Ill browse around that site. Seems like the Windows SDK has quite a few tools that could be useful, I'll give it a try. ~Matt -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Soronel Haetir via Jfw Sent: Monday, July 6, 2015 12:50 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.

Re: using 2 sound cardss
No, drivers should not get uninstalled without specific user action. All that might happen is that the operating system will be set to use the new sound card as the default audio output but the old one should still be there. For example, when I was heavily into using virtual machines I sometimes had two or even three USB headsets to the box, with one dedicated to main system sound and the others each carrying audio for a specific virtual machine. This in addition to speakers plugged in to the on-board audio that I used for music. and the like.

envelopes in word 2013
What luck do folks here have with addressing an envelope using word 2013. I do alt m followed by e and it places me in an edit field but jaws does not state what the edit field is. Also, when I tab, nothing. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Can an Apple USB Disc Drive be used on a Windows laptop?
Hi, I think I know the answer is a No, but wanted to check. I'm in need of using a USB Disc Drive on my laptop for a short while, and the only one I have access to is one my wife uses for her Mac. It is an Apple USB Disc Drive. Is there any chance this would work on a Windows machine? I'm hesitant to just try it in case either implodes when hooked up!

Re: Can an Apple USB Disc Drive be used on a Windows laptop?
In researching this very thing on a drive called the Superdrive, it can be done, but you need to download drivers for the disc drive. Then after install and reboot, the drive should show up in Windows Explorer. Matthew -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: Can an Apple USB Disc Drive be used on a Windows laptop?
I would just give it a try. If after you plug it in it ask you if you want to format the drive, then of course disconnect it. Dave Carlson Sent from my iPhone using the handwriting feature.

JAWS Developer Tools or Developer Resources for C# WFP XAML
