Hi Margaret,
Somewhere during that process, it should mention the windows validation tool.
I can understand your frustration,  so take a break.
You can go back to it later, when you are fresh, you'll get it.

Hi Ricque,

I seem to be in a loop trying to download the file.  It seems MS
has to certify that my copy of XP and/or Office is genuine before it
will let me download it.  It then said something about the genuine
advantage version having expired and I haven't been able to find out
how to get an unexpired one yet.  I may have messed up since at least
the first I was asked if I wanted to run Publisher I said no since I
didn't understand that it was needed to run the validation process.
The expired thing may mean that I've exceeded my allotted attempts.
I'm hoping I can try again later.

I could swear that I've downloaded the genuine advantage thing
every time it has come up with updates.  The machine is 2 years old
and the copy XP
is legal as far as I know.  My tech built the machine and I don't know
if it was already on there or if he installed it.  Anyway, I need a
break.

Hi Margaret,
Go ahead and download the file from Microsoft.
Run the file, it will install where it belongs.
No, you do not want the service pack 1 package.
The search companion is basically the Windows search utility.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Error Loading IE 6-XP Home


Hi All,

I got the following error message every time I loaded IE 6 today:

Error
A file that is required to run Search Companion cannot be found.  You
may need to run setup.

and there was an okay button to press.

I did a Google search and found a Microsoft article that seems to
give a resolution to the problem, but I wanted to make sure I didn't
get myself into a mess and have a couple of questions.

SYMPTOMS
After you connect to a Web site, you may receive the following error
message:
A file that is required to run search companion cannot be found. You
may need to run setup.
After you receive this error message, you cannot use Search Companion
to search for files or folders, or to search the Internet. The options
to search for
files or folders, or to search the Internet, are unavailable.

Back to the top

CAUSE
This behavior can occur if a file required to run Search Companion is
missing or damaged. Note that this problem affects only the
English-language version
of Windows XP.

NOTE: Search Companion files may be damaged if you have Search
Companion open when you connect to certain Internet Service Providers.

Back to the top

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods.

Back to the top

Method 1: Install Windows XP SP1

Back to the top

Method 2: Download and Install the Hotfix
The following file is available for download from the Microsoft
Download Center:

Download
Download the Q319949 package now



http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319949


If I go ahead and download and try to install the Hotfix, will XP
automatically put it in the right place for me since I have no idea of
where it belongs?  I have SP 2, so I don't think I want to install SP
1.

Also, where is the Search Companion?  I downloaded and installed
the Microsoft updates yesterday and wonder if one of them might have
corrupted this Search Companion.

The computer is XP Home with IE 6 and I'm running JAWS 7.0.

Any help in straightening this out would be greatly appreciated.

Margaret

I apologize if this gets posted for the second time.  My problem is with 
Music Match Jukebox.  I have always used Windows Media Player.  Somehow 
Music Match has taken over and made itself the default player. The question 
is how do I reverse this and use Windows media player as my default player?

Hi Margaret,

Just to add to what John said, once you press the alt+N to go to the 
information bar, you need simply press the spacebar to activate the menu 
choices, at which point, you can arrow up and down through the choice to 
what you want to do.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Blind-Computing] TV tuners

2007-08-16 Thread Victor Gouveia
Hi Ariana,

As far as I know, TV Tuners come in an external box, or internal card 
version.

I don't think I've ever seen them in USB stick format, but it has been a 
while since I've seen these.

I actually have a client who is asking for one on her computer, and was 
joyful to find out that the price of these puppies has dropped significantly 
since I dealt with them.

The last one I owned was the ATI All In Wonder, and it allowed you to have 
different video inputs to your computer, such as S-video, RCA, Firewire, and 
other connections.

Once plugged into the ports, the card would act as the interface between the 
computer and the device.  It would also have the added functionality of 
being able to tune in analog signals from your cable line, or satellite 
source.

You would, of course need a program that would be able to receive and 
extrapolate the signal into a viewable format, and I really can't say if 
such a program exists that is compatible for the blind or visually impaired.

It would be a great thing if someone knew of an accessible program, and 
could send that information to the list.

Hope this helps.

Victor

Hi, Everybody,

I think I got everything related to active x controls turned on 
and I tried it again from the beginning.

It seemed to try to validate the genuine advantage, but I got 
another error:

Validation Incomplete



Why didn't my machine complete validation?



You have encountered an unknown error. Please contact your local 
product support team for further assistance with this issue.

[0x80080299]



I haven't tried the frequently asked questions again  which I 
think is where I found the diagnostic center last night where I kept 
running into the problem with the information bar.  I need some lunch 
and more caffeine and will see if I can find it again or call my tech.
