Hi Steve,
Would you please give steps on how & where to find & do the following:
When you open it, Jaws will think you are using Windows Mail, so you have
to
comment out the line in the Autostart that checks to see if you are
running
Vista. It thinks Windows 7 is Vista, so it returns a true if that part of
the AutoStart runs, in which case, it switches to using the scripts for
Windows Mail.
I've gotten OE to work on 1 Win7 computer but, I can't get it to work on 2
others. The reason it won't work on 1 of them is because WLM had been
installed at 1 time but, I can't get all the entries in the registry
removed
or, at least enough to make OE work. The 2nd computer has never had WLM
installed but, OE won't work on this computer either so, I'm wondering if
this auto start thing has something to do with it. Any help will be
greatly
appreciated. Thank you very much.
Take care.
Mike

OE Classic is a different program than the OE that has been developed to
work with Windows 7. If you look at the OeClassic.com website, you'll see
that it uses a different file structure. It is intended to be simple like
Outlook Express, but it isn't the same program.
The OE for Windows 7 is available from
http://runasxp.com
You have to register to download the program.
When you open it, Jaws will think you are using Windows Mail, so you have
to
comment out the line in the Autostart that checks to see if you are
running
Vista. It thinks Windows 7 is Vista, so it returns a true if that part of
the AutoStart runs, in which case, it switches to using the scripts for
Windows Mail. Somebody on another list made an OutlookExpress.jsb and
.jss
file that does this, I don't know if Rick and Dave have put that in their
programs area on the website.
That is the program I'm using on my Windows 7 box as I write this. With
the
above modification, and the addition of a separate spellchecker, Outlook
Express seems to run exactly as it did in Xp.
Most people have gotten it to install fine. Mike has had trouble on a
couple of his Windows 7 computers, so as with any program, caveat emptor.

Maybe. But how does one put WM on a Windows 7 machine?

Just how is OE Classic different on Window's 7 than Window's Mail is?
I think WM is as close to OE as one can get with Window's 7.

Honestly I forget off the top of my head. Mike will post the address soon
as
he gets out of bed out there in Ca.
The thing that concerns me about this deal is folder compacting. In XP
folders that got compacted got placed in the recycle bin, this does not
happen in windows 7. Otherwise it does seem to work as advertised.

David,
Where do you get a version of OE that works with Windows 7, please?
Presently, I use and teach WLM 11 because I do not like version 12. I
can't
say I'm crazy about WLM either, but 11 is usable.
Give me the good old days of OE!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] a program called OE classic
I ran across this program a few weeks ago and my first impression was
that
it isn't the most screen reader friendly peace of goods to come down the
pike so to speak. This morning I decided to take another look at it and
my
thoughts are even more negative.
I'm sending this message from OE on windows 7 and after a few weeks using
it
on this system it seems fine. Kind of like an old friend if you would
allow
me the bit of reflection.
The OE classic sounds like a nice deal but configuring it can be an
abject
lesson in frustration to me at least.
