After removing and reinstalling, the apps area and the tile area worked much smoother. Microsoft also recommends a fresh install of Jaws 16 after installing windows 10 from either w-7 or w-8.1. It is not that difficult to do. After uninstalling jaws 16, turn on Narrator with windows key+enter, to close the programs and features window, and go to restart your computer, press enter. Wait for a reasonable time until you know that the sign in screen is up, type your password and press enter. Again, wait for a reasonable time, press windows key+enter to start Narrator. go to your download folder where you will have put the jaws 16 program file, down arrow to the jaws file. press caps lock key+escape to exit narrator, or skip this step and wait until the installation of jaws has started to close narrator. , now press enter on the Jaws 16 program file to start installation. Depending on your computer you will either have to press enter again for the Jaws instillation, or the ALT+y, for the users account dialog which will pop up. finish installing Jaws, Important, if you chose to keep your share settings, which I would and did do on my computer. jaws 16 will install and after you hit finish, it will come on speaking, no restart. Make sure you reset your short cut start up key for jaws. Make sure you check the setting and check the box for jaws to come on at the log on screen before restarting. Every other setting should be retained. -----Original Message----- From: Howard Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2015 6:21 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] a list of programs that work on w-10 hi jim: just to let you know. in windows 8.1, when updating to win10, you don't have to uninstall and then reinstall jaws16. it came right up talking. just clarifying your blanket statement about this. howard wolcott -------------------------------------------------- From: "jim" <buckeye...@wowway.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2015 2:54 PM To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Subject: [JAWS-Users] a list of programs that work on w-10 > this is by no means a complete list of working programs in windows 10, > just ones that I have tested. > > email clients: > Windows live mail 2012, works excellent. > Outlook 2010, works excellent. > > freedom scientific products. > jaws 16, after uninstalling and reinstalling it, works excellent. > F S reader 2.0, works excellent. > f S reader 3.0, works excellent. > Research it, most things work, needs some more work. > I want to publicly thank F S for having Jaws 16 ready for windows 10, > works great. > > Anti-virus: > mcafee total protection, works excellent. > frontier security, works excellent. > > Browsers: > internet explorer, works excellent. > > different web sites: > Bookshare, works excellent. > Bard, National Library, works excellent. > NFL, works excellent. > NFB newspapers, works excellent. > > Microsoft: > Word 2010, works excellent. > Notepad, works excellent. > Narrator, works excellent, nice voice. > Store, works excellent. > Skype, works excellent. > cortana, tried the text search windows key+s, works excellent. > > Other things: > Sword searcher bible program, works excellent. > Watch ESPN store app, works excellent, might need help finding your ip > provider sign in. > > All and all, an A+ to Microsoft and freedom Scientific for windows 10 and > being able to use it. > > I hope this has helped someone... > drink plenty of coffee... > > Jim > > A Ballast for My Soul > > Life is like a stormy sea > That tosses to and fro, > But God's Word will ever be > A ballast for my soul. > > By its truth I'll be held fast > Till I reach heaven's shore > Where I will be home at last > And sail life's sea no more! > > author: Perry Boardman > > THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES > First College football Playoff National champions!!! > > GO BUCKS!!! > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
