Hi, I have just gone through your instructions and can't find the last option. There is nothing in my task bar options that sounds at all like what you have suggested. I have been having the same problem as you with the reporting of safe to remove. This is on my acer laptop and work computer both running latest Jaws and windows ten.
Thanks. >From Shaz. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Mike B.

I knew I had a note about this somewhere because this also happens in Widows 7, and this is how I fixed it: 1. Windows key + I, to open Settings, Navigate to Personalization, and press enter. 2. Go to, Taskbar, press enter, tab to, Notification Area, Select which icons appear on the taskbar Link, and press enter. 3. Tab to, Windows host process (Rundll32) Button, press the spacebar to check this option, and you should now hear Jaws report it's safe to remove.... after pressing enter on a drive from the Safely Remove Hardware icon. Please let me know if the steps work for anyone else. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.

Whenever I want to eject / remove an external harddrive I click on the system tray icon, choose the device, and press enter on it, but Jaws doesn't report the following: Safe To Remove Hardware: The 'USB Mass Storage Device' device can now be safely removed from the computer. Can anyone tell me how to get Jaws to report the message above? Or, what setting is supposed to be activated to report the message above? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks mooy moocho.
