Re: [Blind-Computing] windows vista system restore utility
I never used that utility, but I use one called ERUNT -- Emergency Recovery Utility for NT systems. This will back up your registry hives, and will continue to back up your settings each time your system starts. It backs up its data to a chosen folder (which by default is in the SystemRoot folder). When you have a system crash, or when you encounter performance penalties after installation or a virus attack, you simply restore your system by running it from the backup folder. This is even possible in situations where Windows refuses to load: you simply boot into safemode and run the restore utility from the command line, or if not possible, you do a repair and then run the restore utility. Better still, I found that you can create a Bart's PE CD, and when your system is refusing to boot or do anything, you just pop in the CD and run the live recovery CD: just access the backup folder and run the restore utility and you will be prompted to restart your machine. It will restore your system to the date you did your backup. The autobackup feature also helps you to select the date to which you want to restore your computer. The author of the program made it to run on 32-bit systems and I'm not sure if it will work on 64-bit systems. It saved me a lot of headaches as I used to reinstall my system after every few months, but now I have stayed with my system for two years without reinstalling Windows. If you are interested in the utility, and to make sure that it works on Windows Vista, here is the link to the homepage: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ Hope this helps someone out there, if not directly applicable to your situation.

After installing it, find under your start menu/all programs, a submenu called K-lite codec pack. Open it with your right arrow or enter and locate media player clasic and hit enter. Of course it is preferable if you assign a hotkey to this item for quicker launching. After the program is loaded, you can use the keystrokes I included yesterday, find them coppied below. One you would need now is control+q to open a file or control+d to open a DVD. Another useful keystroke i forgot to mention yesterday is Control or alt+page down or page up to jump to the next or previous file respectively if for example you have many open files. Of course some keystrokes would be unavailable until a file is open. SpaceBar = Play/pause Period = stop Control+Right arrow = Forward 5 seconds Left arrow = rewind 5 seconds Up Arrow = increase volume Down arrow = decrease volume Control+m = mute Control+Q = quick open Control+O = open Control+D = open DVD Control+C = close open file or files Control+5 = toggles the status bar JawsKey+PageDown = read status bar, "it contains info about the file's duration, the elapsed time and the active control".

[Blind-Computing] How I'm going to do podcasts
Hello all, Many thanks for all your help with the issue of recording from two sources at once. This is the solution I have come up with. I will be using Total Recorder for all my podcasts. This is because it comes with virtual drivers that digitally captures the sound card's output. So even if I wear headphones it will still capture what JAWS or whatever screen reader I use. With the free add-on digital mixer it is possible to tell Total Recorder to mix both soundboard and software sources. I plan to use the Standard Edition at the very minimum for my recordings, then edit them in GoldWave if required. Hope you like my proposal. -- Signed by Chris Hallsworth E-mail and Facebook: christopher...@googlemail.com MSN: ch9...@hotmail.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Twitter: http://twitter.com/christopherh40 Klango: chrishallsworth If you have any computer problems or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me on the above channels.

Re: [Blind-Computing] M3U File No Longer Plays
Don't think so no. I create playlists all the time in Winamp. This is because when you add folders or files to a new or existing playlist you are actually creating a playlist file telling Winamp which songs to play and in what order. So I am not sure what's going on here. Perhaps the files are in an unsupported format. Perhaps the files point to an external source like a network drive or something.

I recently created a folder in to which all of my m3U files now reside and I notice some don't play at all and others only play some of the songs. Incidentally, I play them with Winamp. My question is, must the m3u file reside in the folder in which it was created? Any help, as always, will be appreciated. Thanks.
