Re: [Blind-Computing] where is the send button on facebook?
Are you referring to sending your friend a chat message or an email under the message link? If you are referring to a chat message that can be found on www.facebook.com Then you have to type out the message and press enter, if you do not see your message then refresh the screen by pressing insert key plus the escape key at the same time. After doing this you should be able to see the message you typed in the chat window. This method works for me. If you are referring to sending your friend the equivalent of an email message while in the facebook program. I do it like this: 1. I go to my friends facebook page. 2. I locate the message link on the program under their name 3. I press enter on this link. 4. I then refresh the screen using the method I mentioned above. 5. I then will press the letter e to find an edit field. I then will verify that I am in the right edit field by either tabbing up if forms field is turned to automatic or if not then before i enter forms field I will arrow up and verify that I see the words send to and their name. 6. Once I know I am in the correct window I will then turn on forms mode and begin typing my message. 7. Once i have the message composed like I want it I then press the insert key and the key to turn on the pc cursor which in turn will take me out of forms mode. 8. Then below that message you will find things like attach a picture and some other things. You should find the send to button below all of this or if you are replying then i am pretty sure instead of send it will say reply. 9. This is a button, but I press enter to activate it. I then will refresh the screen and if it is a reply I will go back up the screen and verify that it says my name and a time that the message was sent. 10. If it is an original message I can go back into messages and find a copy of the message that I just composed there.

[Blind-Computing] New Laptop
Hello everyone, I am considering buying a new laptop for my fiance. She is sighted, but I will still have to access it from time to time to see what kind of problem she may have encountered. I am researching some different things and have come across a couple of different websites dealing with processors. Apparently Intel is the best leaving AMD in the dust. However, when looking at Intel there is still a wide selection to choose from. A couple that is sticking out to me right now are the 790X which I think it said it had a processor speed of 3.3 ghz, but could handle up to 3.7 ghz. Then there is the i2500 which is supposedly last years model, maybe even 2010 model, but according to the website that spoke of this processor it is the best on the market right now. Is this the case? Now, we move into 32 bit or 64 bit. My theory is that now that 64 bit has been introduced eventually 32 bit will phase out. Is that a safe assumption? In the meantime though i hear that a lot of programs are not supporting 64 bit at this time. Is this correct? Does the Microsoft Suite work on either system? I am sure eventually I will need to look into sound cards to determine which one I will want in her system and I guess video card as well. If I buy it off the shelf then I have to take what I get, but if I have it built and that is what I am looking at what is going to be the best or next to best that can go in this system. I say next to best because the best might be out of my price range so I am just wanting to have a fallback option. Any other information when considering a laptop will be greatly appreciated. I want her computer to have the capability of playing games, but if she needs to make a powerpoint for school or if she needs to write a paper for school then she also has that capability as well. So versatility is a must. Thank you all in advance for any information offered on this matter. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

[Blind-Computing] WinAmp Refusing to Shut Down
Friends, Everytime I open up an attachment that requires WinAmp to open in order to play the attachment I cannot get Winamp to close down using alt f4. This does not only occur with the attachments and it is not just periodic, but everytime I open WinAmp it seems like it is continuing to run in the background. I know there is a way to reassign file extensions to open up with different programs, but I cannot remember the steps to accomplish this. If anyone can help in solving my problem it will be greatly appreciated. I would like to know how to solve the current problem of completely shutting down WinAmp after it opens and also how to reassign the file extensions to open with an alternative program. I do not believe it has anything to do with Jaws, but I am using Jaws 12 latest version, a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, Windows XP Professional, Winamp 5.581.

[Blind-Computing] MP3 DIRECT CUT
Friends, Is the MP3 DIRECT Cut fully accessible? If so can someone give me some instruction on using the program because the read me file I was reading was talking about drag and drop, or can someone direct me to information designed for use with screen readers and this program? I have heard much talk about the drag and drop with Jaws and how it is very difficult. Is there a way around this aspect of the program to still accomplish cutting segments of the MP3? Any help, advice, or direction will be greatly appreciated. I am using a Dell Laptop with laptop layout on the keyboard, XP Professional, Jaws 12 latest version.

Re: [Blind-Computing] MP3 DIRECT CUT
Mike, Thank you for this information it seems like it contains a lot of valuable information and will be great for getting started with it. I notice that it speaks of PodCast and that sort of thing. Do you know if it can make ring tones? If not it will still be a valuable program for school notes and that sort of thing. - Original Message - From: Mike Barbara In Arcadia mb69ma...@charter.net To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2011 1:46 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] MP3 DIRECT CUT Hi Josh, Below is a somewhat long winded email I saved talking about the MP3 Direct Cut program. There are also links to a couple of tutorials as well. From: Gene gsas...@ripco.com This is a rather long message but it provides important information. Is the podcast mainly going to be you talking or are you going to do things such as move between items such as music and speech. I'm going to assume, for this message, that you intend to do only or mostly just you talking. that isn't because I am actually assuming this is true, it's because I want to make the message simple and answer questions for that kind of podcast in this message. If it doesn't apply to what you intend to do, send details to the list and you may get good information to match the specific kind of podcast you are doing. for more complex podcasts, such as having music and speech and moving between them or having something like speech and music simultaneously, others on the list may be better sources of information. Let's start with the most simple kind of podcast, nothing but you talking. One of the problems you will find if you listen to many podcasts is that people don't edit well, if at all. They create a podcast, repeatedly pause during it often for far too long, have lots of extraneous sounds such as the repeated sound of their e-mail program checking for new mail, etc. that's no way to produce a high quality podcast. Since podcasts are mp3 files, instead of using audacity, you would probably do just as well or better using Mp3 Direct Cut. It is easier to edit with Mp3 Direct Cut and the program records directly in the Mp3 format, thus allowing you to save the time and inconvenience of first recording a file and then converting the finished product to Mp3. One way to produce a reasonably well edited podcast is to record it without doing any editing, just stopping recording if you want to pause to collect your thoughts or cough or encounter an interruption, then start recording again. When you start recording or continue recording, use a count down every time. When you start or continue recording count down such as three, two, one, then start talking. Later, you will edit out the time between where you stopped recording and the end of the count down. If you do this correctly, you will have a smoothly edited podcast. You can experiment and see how this is done. Using the microphone in your computer may or may not be a good choice. You might get much better results using a hand held microphone or a microphone on a stand that you will place close to your mouth. If you can conveniently be close to the microphone in the computer and if the microphone is reasonably good, that may work well but you can get good microphones for about fifteen or twenty dollars. One that I like is a radio shack clip on microphone. It is very small. I don't clip it onto my shirt collar, though that is how it is intended to be used. I hold the microphone close to my mouth. It provides better sound quality for speech than many other microphones in that general price range and I find it very satisfactory for voice recordings that are well within the quality that is suitable for a nonprofessional recording where you want reasonable quality but don't have to worry about really high professional quality sound. Radio Shack has a good return policy so if the microphone isn't what you want, you can return it after trying it. I will definitely say that the version of audacity you are using will not meet your needs if you intend to do editing of the podcast. Try using Mp3 Direct Cut. It is easier to edit with than any version of audacity. the following information will allow you to download a version of Mp3 Direct cut and a tutorial on using the program. It is all included in one zip file. I prepared this file and sent it to a file sharing site from which it is still available.

[Blind-Computing] RSS Feeds

Three, I notice in I.E. 8 there is a couple of options within the tools menu dealing with feeds one being feed discovery and the other is subscribe to this feed. What is the difference in what I.E. provides with the options I mentioned and the reader mentioned previously? I don't know if it is needed or not, but I am using Jaws 12 latest version, XP Professional, and as already mentioned Internet Explorer 8.

Yvonne, (These instructions are for Outlook Express) I just tested it myself. I created a second signature within OE going through tools and options. I found the signatures tab and then tabbed through the page. I set the second signature up exactly like the first one. Applied the new signature and then tabbed back through and selected ok. I then went to open a new message. Within the new message I selected from the menu options to insert signature there it gave me a sub-menu where I could select which signature I wanted. Neither one of my signatures are set to automatically appear. 1. create new signature 2. apply the new settings 3. tab to ok Note: If your current signature is set to automatically appear in your message you might want to uncheck that in your original signature set-up before proceeding. 4. open up a new message. 5. go to your menu by pressing the alt key and right arrow over to insert. 6. scroll down the menu insert until you find signature note: now that you have two signatures created you should hear signatures sub-menu. 7. select the signature you want and you should be able to view it at the bottom of your message.

I created a second signature within OE going through tools and options. I found the signatures tab and then tabbed through the page. I set the second signature up exactly like the first one. Applied the new signature and then tabbed back through and selected ok. I then went to open a new message. Within the new message I selected from the menu options to insert signature there it gave me a sub-menu where I could select which signature I wanted. Neither one of my signatures are set to automatically appear. 1. create new signature 2. apply the new settings 3. tab to ok Note: If your current signature is set to automatically appear in your message you might want to uncheck that in your original signature set-up before proceeding. 4. open up a new message. 5. go to your menu by pressing the alt key and right arrow over to insert. 6. scroll down the menu insert until you find signature note: now that you have two signatures created you should hear signatures sub-menu. 7. select the signature you want and you should be able to view it at the bottom of your message. Note: If you leave the other signature selected to automatically appear you can probably delete it within your message and then follow above steps. I do not know this for certain though so try it and see.

[Blind-Computing] MODEM AND ROUTER PROBLEM *UPDATE*
Friends, After a short conversation with tech support through my internet provider we determined that the problem lies in the router. We bypassed the router and connected the modem directly into the computer and it worked like a charm. After a rather lengthy conversation with tech support for the router it was determined that the router was defective. Net Gear lifetime limited warranty covered this product so it is being replaced with no charge for the product and if I had chosen the longer shipping method it would have been completely free. However, with school starting back in a couple of weeks I opted for next day delivery. I should be back up and running on my own router within a couple of days. :) For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ Send any questions regarding list management to: blind-computing-ow...@jaws-users.com

[Blind-Computing] Modem and router Problems
Friends, Thank you all for the advice offered on this problem. I have not really had an opportunity to really get down and dig into the heart of the problem yet due to my sighted fiance's work schedule. If it does turn out to be a router issue I want to be able to go to Wal-Mart and get this issue corrected while dealing with the router. However, before my fiance went back to work today on her day off we did unplug all the wires on the modem and router including taking out the battery. My fiance said all the lights on the modem were lit up, but on the router all the lights except the power light was lit on the router. The power button was pushed in and out a couple of times on the router with no change to the power light. I have several emails with great advice and I have no doubt that the solution will be found in one of them.

[Blind-Computing] Modem and Router Problems
Friends, I am currently connected to a neighbor's router typing this message. I am having problems connecting to the internet via my router. I have tested both the router and the modem to see if I was able to access the internet from either one; I was not able to access the internet from the desktop which is wired nor the laptop which is wireless. Being that I am unable to access the internet from the desktop I am leaning towards this being a modem problem rather than a router problem. Should this be a router problem though does anyone have any suggestions on a wireless router? I run two laptops off the wireless router. I currently have a NetGear router that supposedly has a lifetime warranty *thats a croc*. I have to pay NetGear in order to determine if the router is in fact defective so I would kind of like to stay away from NetGear if possible since this one is only about six months old.

Control tab once to the details page and then tab once to put the focus in the details list. Press the end key to go to the end of the list and then arrow up until you hear the from line. This should give you the actual email address and domain of the sender. If the address is the same as your professor, you don't want to block the message. If it's different, though, you can block them. If the domain is different from your professor's--that is, the url of the email message, such as gmail.com, or hotmail.com, etc--then it would be safe to block the domain. If you are using Windows Vista and Windows Mail, blocking a sender is very easy. Press escape to return the focus to your inbox, then press the applications key and arrow up to Junkmail submenu.

[Blind-Computing] Fw: [Accessible Devices] Use Caution When Dealing With UndeliveredPackage Notices

AppRiver is reporting a new threat that falls into this latter category--a fake DHL shipping receipt designed with a malicious file attachment. DHL is not as recognizable in the United States as FedEx, or UPS, or plain old US Post Office shipping, but it is still an easily identified brand. On a global scale, DHL is better known, and there is a fair chance--although not significantly high--that any random e-mail recipient may have either shipped something with DHL, or may be expecting a shipment from DHL, and those are the users that are most likely to fall victim to this ploy. the message translates roughly to, Due to an error in the shipping direction, we were unable to deliver your package. It can be picked up at the post office, but first you must print the postal label attached to this email. Clicking on the file attachment results in opening a compressed folder. The victim then must open the folder and execute the malicious file it contains in order for the attack to work. Sounds convoluted, but you'd be surprised how effective it can be. Years of malware scams have proven that there are more than enough gullible users on the Internet--gullible users who speak Spanish and are expecting a DHL shipment. With the recent focus on the , the , and the , it's easy to forget that rudimentary attacks like this work just fine as well. are another effective method of propagating malware that are being used effectively in recent malware attacks. Let's recap the common sense approach to avoiding malware attacks like this fake DHL shipping notification. A) If you don't speak Spanish, just delete it. B) If you do speak Spanish, but you aren't expecting a DHL shipment, just delete it. C) If you speak Spanish, and you're expecting a DHL shipment, think for a second about the poorly written message and whether or not DHL would actually send such a thing. D) Remind yourself that no reputable company will send you an email with a file attachment like this. Bottom line--delete the e-mail. If you speak Spanish and you're expecting a DHL shipment and you honestly feel it could be legitimate, delete the e-mail, then visit the DHL Web site or give it a call and check on the status of your package.

The F-Secure blog explains, Surprisingly, the only products that seem to be capable of handling the infection are AntiSpySafeguard, Major Defense Kit, Peak Protection, Pest Detector and Red Cross.

The attackers are counting on users being naïve enough to take the bait and agree to be saved by purchasing one of these awesome antimalware tools to help eradicate the threat.

I must say, though, that I have never understood how anyone falls for rogue antivirus attacks. It seems to me that users should know whether or not they have some sort of malware protection installed, and if so which software it is. If no antimalware is installed, or if the fake alert is apparently from a program other than the one that is installed--why would anyone take it seriously? Did magic antimalware fairies stop by in the night and install this new beneficent tool?

Microsoft Security Essentials is fake. Well, it is and it isn't. Microsoft Security Essentials is a free antimalware protection program from Microsoft, but a identified by security software vendor F-Secure is also masquerading as Microsoft Security Essentials. You want to avoid that one. The is distributed through a drive-by download as either hotfix.exe or mstsc.exe--both reasonably benign and almost legitimate sounding file names that might not raise red flags with some users. --including all of the top names that users are familiar with such as Trend Micro, McAfee, Panda, and Symantec-- and identifies those that are capable of detecting and blocking this nefarious threat. The F-Secure blog explains, Surprisingly, the only products that seem to be capable of handling the infection are AntiSpySafeguard, Major Defense Kit, Peak Protection, Pest Detector and Red Cross. Never heard of these? No wonder. They are all fake products. The attackers are counting on users being naïve enough to take the bait and agree to be saved by purchasing one of these awesome antimalware tools to help eradicate the threat. But, since these are all rogue antivirus programs what you really end up with is some sort of Trojan that opens the system up to further . Don't get confused, though. As mentioned above, is a legitimate antimalware application as well. It is offered for free by Microsoft, and is in fact a very capable defense against malware. Microsoft just recently expanded the availability of Microsoft Security Essentials to --making it free to install on up to ten PCs. I must say, though, that I have never understood how anyone falls for rogue antivirus attacks. It seems to me that users should know whether or not they have some sort of malware protection installed, and if so which software it is. If no antimalware is installed, or if the fake alert is apparently from a program other than the one that is installed--why would anyone take it seriously? Did magic antimalware fairies stop by in the night and install this new beneficent tool? And, doesn't it seem at all suspicious that this strange antimalware detection is capable of scanning the PC and identifying this new threat, but invites you to purchase something else to actually deal with the problem?

She has tried doing a merge to create the start menu but it was unsuccessful as well. She attempted to create this merge under the users folder root. She has always had this problem since installing Windows 7. Her computer specs are below. If anyone can help please do all information will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Short Cut Keys For Skype?
I think in tools and options you will have to enable the hot keys. You can also go to the call menu with (alt a) and scroll through that list paying attention to the letter that follows each menu selection. If I am not mistaken to hang up a call it is the letter n not too sure on answering. I always go to the Skype Icon if the phone is ringing in the system tray pressing enter on this if the phone is ringing will give you an option to see who is calling and answer. HTH J.P.

Re: [Blind-Computing] So... how do ya change your status on FBthis?week?
I think it is a matter of personal preference whether a person uses the mobile or Pc version of facebook. I usually will use the Pc version of facebook but if I need to post something then i will switch to the mobile site as I have found it easier to post on the mobile site. I do not like the mobile site myself for just general browsing of the page as it does not seem to give you all the information that the Pc site gives. I understand that it is a condensed version therefore not as many applications but it also seems as though you have to keep hitting older post to see even half of what the PC version site provides as far as messages from friends. I do fully agree with others view point that the mobile site is more blind friendly especially when it comes to posting messages. So all-in-all I think it is just what a person gets use to using.

[Blind-Computing] SKYPE 4.2, REVISION 42E, AND SKYPE TALKING AND THE SPEAKERS
Friends, As the subject line says Skype 4.2, Skype Talking, script revision 42E are the programs and scripts with which i am working. Now the question i am going to pose is how would I go about changing the speaker layout? So that what I hear from the other person or Jaws comes through the computer rather than the head set speakers. I want either one the jaws speech or the person in which i am talking with to come through one speaker and the other voice to come through the other one. I have posted to Skype mailing list but the information in which i recieved is more elaborate than my layout. I was told to go to control panel (not sure if Skype has its own control panel or not). I was then told to go to the sounds and devices link and from there to audio tab and select something to the effects of Skype through the computer. I only have combo boxes and at the very most i have three selections to make in anyone of the combo boxes. The first combo box is dealing with audio playback devices Options i have are : logitech usb headset or idt audio The next combo box i come to is sound recording default playback device options there are the same as above. I then come to another combo box that has the same label as the one above with the same options. Now i come to a combo box that reads midi music default playback device Option: microsoft gs wavetable SW synth. I use Jaws 10 and windows XP. thank you all for any help offered on this matter. i am not very knowledgeable in this area and the more detail the better. thank you J.P.

You go to the Audio combobox (the first one), otherwise your steps were correct. In that combobox, just choose the output device you are to use: but make sure it is not the same as JAWS. To find out which sound card is being used by JAWS, just go to the JAWS menu, select Utilities, Sound Card submenu. You will see that windows default sound card will be checked on if you never made any settings before. So simply arrow to the other sound card in the list and check it on by pressing the enter key. This is to make sure that even if you alter the Audio device, JAWS won't pick that up. For example, if I have SigmaTel and USB Headset, from the control panel in the audio combobox you referred to, I can checkmark Sigmatel as the Windows default output device. In the JAWS utilities-Sound Card submenu, I would checkmark USB Headset. The trick lies in knowing the name(s) of your sound card(s) which are being used by your speakers. Hope this helps a little.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Facebook with Jaws 11
I also have problems with Jaws jumping around. It seems to just jump where ever it feels like going at the time. I can scroll through the messages on the main wall at sign in and end up missing about half of the messages as I scroll down. I discovered this one day when I had scrolled down what I thought was just a couple of messages and then had to go back to a prior message. As I was scrolling up i found messages I had never even read. It also will throw my cursor on occasion up in the address bar or tool bar when I begin typing out a message to post. I have discovered though I do like facebook.com for majority of things but for posting messages things go a lot smoother if I use the facebook mobile site (M.Facebook.com). Hopefully someone will have the solution to the problem.

Thank you for this information. - Original Message - From: Ishe Chinyoka chinyoka.consult...@gmail.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] QWITTER Hi, Programs that tell you of files you have to manually remove will usually refer to the following situations: (1) settings stored in INI files which you may need to use later; or (2) Programs that create files which are useful to you. In other words, the program would have created such files by your own action. Now the nest question is how to remove such files. Well, using a file manager such as 7zip file manager or even our native Windows Explorer, navigate to Program Files (often C:\Program Files\, find the folder where Quitter had been installed. Highlight the folder, Then Press Shift+Delete to permanently wipe off the folder from the face of the earth. Well, if you don't mind the recycle bin size, just press delete and the folder will be sent back to the recycle bin instead. Next, you need to navigate to where programs often store their settings. I am not sure which Windows OS you're using, but the folder on XP should be C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\app data. In this folder, you will find lots of folders referring to different programs that store their settings there. Find that of Quitter. Now without opening the folder of Quitter, repeat the same operation you did in Program Files: namely, press shift+delete to destroy the folder and all its contents (the settings). After this, you are clean: you're ready to install a fresh copy of Quitter. Actually Quitter is cool: so I wish you all the best. Any problem just post with detail. By the way, I made some assumptions like C:\program files for this is the normal storage area of all installed programs unless you changed; if you did so, just substitute my bigoted Program Files with your correct path. Another bigoted or assumption is the your user name just substitute that phrase in angle brackets with your own username you are logged with. Another issue you need to sort out is if you are on Windows 7, you need not enter the C:\documents .. path, users have got a special folder in the root.

Can someone please assist me with this? Once the other elements are removed i think Qwitter should install as it should. J.P.

[Blind-Computing] QWITTER
members, Afew days ago I posted a problem I was having with Qwitter. The problem still exist. I had Qwitter back several months ago and had to uninstall it. When I went to uninstall it I do not remember if Qwitter had an uninstall selection on their icon on the start menu but I either went through the icon or the add/remove programs in the control panel.

[Blind-Computing] DROP BOX
Blind Computing members, I have two questions about Drop Box. When you upload a document to Drop Box is it there indefinitely until you decide to take it out of your drop box account or is there a time frame? Question 2 if it is uploaded to Drop Box can you delete the file (s) off your hard drive? J.P.

Re: [Blind-Computing] changing passwords on routers
I assume that is what I am meaning. the point that everyone comes to initially if they are trying to connect by means of wireless connection. Is there more than one password associated with a router? - Original Message - From: matthew matthew.care...@gmail.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 2:11 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] changing passwords on routers Hello. Do you mean the password to the router page? If so this can be done by pushing in the reset button on the router. This is usually inset so you will need a stylus or bent paper clip or something. This will reset it to the factory default which is usually user name admin and password is password or admin.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Facebook
You may have to upgrade to a newer version of I.E. I think prior to m.facebook.com facebook used silver light. Silver light or Silver lite is no longer being supported by facebook. When I.E. 6 was new it is possible that Silver Lite was being supported by facebook. Others will be able to tell you more I never used Silver Light personally and when I started using JAWS I.E. 7 was already being used. - Original Message - From: stewart ross stewartr...@sky.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 7:36 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Facebook hi re that facebook site i can use that wen using firefox but not ie 6 can someone tell me wy or what i need to du. - Original Message - From: matthew matthew.care...@gmail.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 11:39 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Facebook Hello Patricia.

[Blind-Computing] EXTERNAL NUMBER PAD CONNECTION PROBLEMS
hello all, I am having a serious problem with my external number pad on my Dell Inspiron 1545. The problem is when I connect the external number pad it will connect and unconnect at will. If I move the number pad even slightly it will unconnect. After several times of doing this it will give me a message that one of the devices connected to my computer has malfunctioned and to click that message. I have clicked that message once and it said to press a reset button or the hub will basically be rendered useless. I check the connection at the USB port and it is always firmly connected to the computer when this occurs. The external number pad is a lenovo number pad can anyone assist me on this issue. My thoughts is a loose connection inside the USB cord but I do not know for sure. Thanks for any help offered.

I do not have another num pad to try in it. I failed to mention and I apologize earlier that this occurs in the other two USB ports as well when using this num pad. I have not had issues with the external hard drive in any of the ports. Thanks for your suggestions.
