Re: [Blind-Computing] startup menue in W7
I'm assuming the game itself is actually opening up. To fix this There's a few solutions: 1. Start Menu: a. Activate the Start button b. then go to All Programs, c. Then go to Startup. d. Right-click the game in the Startup folder e. Select Delete to remove it from the Startup folder. 2. MSCONFIG Settings: a. Hold the Windows key and press R to open the Run window. b. Type msconfig and press Enter. c. Click the Startup tab. d. Uncheck any startup program you don't want to run during startup. e. Click OK. You can then choose to restart your computer immediately or later. 3. The Program Itself: a. Either you or your youngin' open the program you wish to disable from running at startup. b/ Look for its Options or Preferences. c. Browse through these options for an option to Run Program at Startup. Disable it. Brad On 7/5/2011 11:45 PM Kimberly Qualls said...

Re: [Blind-Computing] Properties unavaiable/recovered files
Hello, Brad: I followed through on your advice, and the results were most interesting. Once the Properties file was open, I had interesting choices. a trace on files going back as far as 1 week, 1 month, or one year. I was able to find a spreadsheet, that I had lost only days ago. There was some data missing, but that can be restored. I'd like to move it back into my documents and make it active once again. Is there a keyboard for moving a spreadsheet?

Re: [Blind-Computing] mass unavailability
Risking sounding over simplistic but just to be clear. In order to find the properties of something , you have to be on the file itself as in My Documents or My Computer in Windows Explorer , or have the file open. You can find the properties of anything but you have to be on or in something. Where is it you are trying to find the properties. 99 percent of computer users don't fiddle in there for just general usage, so maybe there's another way to do what ever it is you are trying to accomplish? Can you tell me what screen you are in when you try to access the properties? Some sort of activity like the sample below would be helpful. 1. I open My Documents 2. I highlight an xls file by arrowing to it 3. I press the Apps key and arrow to properties 4. And the option is grayed out. Or In My Documents where I keep my XLS files, I've tried opening 8 different file properties and all of those file extensions have grayed out or unavailable properties. I noticed this problem a month ago after my grand kid was messing around in my file association options and I told him to get away from my computer *smile*. Some sort of additional info of where you are at in the computer is needed to help you out. If you just open up Excel without any spreadsheet and go under the File menu to Properties it will be grayed out yes. Brad On 7/6/2011 07:13 AM Cliff Smales said...

Re: [Blind-Computing] how to correct
A. Do you know these people? B. Is it a necessary email? C. ActiveX can implant/run some nasty stuff on your computer. There is a reason the security is flagging it. Personally unless it was something from a work project or the like that is needed. I'd not activate it. I'd also recommend if they are friends who sent it, , and its a cutsie forward or unneeded email and they've checked it out, that they do a couple scans of their computer. Not on-line scans but update their antivirus signature files/updates then scan it. And also download something like Malware Bytes and do a second scan. No one anti-virus gets all virus. Do only have one anti-virus actively running in the background though. Keep like Malware Bytes as a scan only to catch stuff your main one might tmiss. Do a Google Search for ActiveX viruses danger and just scroll through the link summaries there. Brad On 7/6/2011 06:53 AM G.Braille said... Hi there!

Re: [Blind-Computing] Properties unavaiable/recovered files
When you do a search for files on the system , it will find every file with that criteria. In other words if you have a file called Cliff's Bingo Chart.xls, and you have it in your My Documents, and then maybe on a back up drive or the like, it'll find them both. One might be newer than the other depending on a backup date. If you search for Cliff's, it'll find every file with Cliff's in the name. The versions you've seen could be the recovered files in Excel which were waiting to be either saved or deleted too I suppose, I don't have any to check out. You might not be able to move those. Probably the best thing to do in that case is open the files you want to save right from the search results area and then just do a Save As... and put them where you want. FYI to verify, I successfully tested moving a file within the search results area to a different spot in My Documents by arrowing to it within the search results, , pressing Alt Enter to look at the properties to find out where it was located. **You'll need to Jaws/Review cursor to find the location in the properties area unless there's a hot key , I just Jaws cursor.** Once I found out where it was located I made note of it, pressed Escape, made sure it was highlighted in the results area again. pressed Ctrl X, went into My Documents and pasted with Ctrl V to a different spot. Then verified in Windoes Explorer it was in fact gone from the original spot. Brad On 7/5/2011 09:12 PM Cliff Smales said...

Re: [Blind-Computing] Microsoft Word 2007 and envelopes
Kathy, You could simply use a sheet of paper to print the envelope information, then have a sighted person help you figure out which is the right way. On My HP printer, I put the envelope in the bypass, so that it is properly centered, face up, with the top of the envelope to the left. This works well. Incidentally, when I tell it to print, an HP menu comes up for which I have to switch to the JAWS cursor, and hit the space bar,. Then I can go back to the PC cursor.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Microsoft Word 2007 and envelopes
Depending on the printer and how it feeds the envelope. Yes print on a sheet of regular paper and if it starts printing right off without a bit of feed time you know it is printing the return address first, which would give you the orientation of the envelope, top to the left. If there's a bit of time feeding before it prints, then it is printing the mailing address first, making it top to the right.. Brad On 7/6/2011 08:39 PM Tom Vos said...
