Re: [Blind-Computing] Firefox question

Also where can I download that web visum captia thing? The website that was posted earlier doesn't work?

The only real difference you'll see is that you use control L to open a location in stead of Control plus O in IE. But once you get used to it, the Control plus L keystroke works in IE as well. The page loads with Firefox and Jaws are much faster too.

No luck this time though?!!! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, whether or not it works. Anything is worth a try at this time! This is expensive software!

Does she have to have at least a demo version of jaws on there, for me to be able to work on her computer, or will my jaws here be sufficient? Would I be able to get feedback from my jaws when I work inside her computer?

Re: [Blind-Computing] remote controlling someones computer.
Upon speaking to my son in Utah yesterday for Mother's day, I mentioned I had jaws 10 now and he was telling me about this remote process and it all worked... He said we both needed to be online and he could access my computer and I would hear his jaws talking and he would hear mine and thus be able to troubleshoot problems on either end.. I can certainly see how this would be most beneficial for trainers/technical assistance across the miles.

Hello all, I'm new to the list and have a question or two. I'm trying to network two XP home computers together. One is the main computer connected to my router and to the internet. The second is a machine using a wireless adaptor card. I've run the network setup wizard on both machines. From my main machine, I can see the other machine, but I can't access it through my network places. On the second machine, when I enter on the name of the network I'm denied access. All the messages speak of not having administrative rights to another computer. I think I've really missed a step here. I would appreciate any help from anyone on the list. Thanks.

[Blind-Computing] RE. remote controlling someones computer.
It sounds like remote control is rather difficult. If you live close enough, wouldn't it be easier to simply install JAWS and use it in demo mode for short periods as you work out the issues?

[Blind-Computing] Windows Mail Restore
Thank God I finally performed a full backup procedure last month! I had been negligent for years. Last night, around 11 pm, for no apparent reason, my computer decided that it did not want to restart! The screen blinked the Dell logo several times, then a crude almost DOS type screen appeared with fairly large letters and a few buttons. I stared at it for probably 15 minutes. I still could not make out what it said. My daughter was late getting to bed and I quickly asked her to read the screen. I think it said that the disk was damaged and asked if I wanted to Restore, Repair, or Cancel. I had her try Repair. It fairly quickly responded that a repair was impossible! I have not worked out the details yet for complete speech during a restore with Image for Linux. But I did have a CD with the standard Image for Linux handy, I had her pop it in, attached the external, USB powered hard drive and guided her through the menus. I only delayed her bedtime by no more than 10 minutes! We both went to bed. This morning, I asked her if it was successful. She said that it was and I ejected the CD and restarted. My computer was back exactly the way it was three weeks ago when I made the image! I then went to my network folder and located my nightly backups of my Documents, emails, JAWS settings directory and another Shared Data folder. By 9:00 am, All was recovered perfectly, except email (more on that later). Just in time! Over the weekend, my wife opened a letter from Lockheed, where I used to work, that our Medical Insurance was canceled due to nonpayment. I was shocked since I paid them all through a on-line service with my bank and they had cashed all of the checks! Anyway, I needed my computer first thing today desperately! With Image for Windows and Karen's Replicator that was no problem! Now for the question. Restoring the Image returned the state of my Windows Mail to what it was April 17, when I created the Image. I have been using Karen's Replicator to backup my Windows Mail "Local Folder" and its subfolders at: "C:\Users\Don\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders" to another computer. I deleted the "Local Folder" today on my restored computer and copied the backup folder to replace it. Obviously this is not the completely correct method to restore Windows Mail. Everything was restored correctly that was older than April 17. Old messages that I had read and kept in the same folder, like blind-computing were present, but marked unread. Any messages I had saved and moved to another folder are not present. I think all of my messages are still on the other computer. A few questions: 1. What should I be backing up every night for Windows Mail? Should I backup one folder higher, like the "Windows Mail" folder? 2. Is there any other procedure I should follow to have Windows Mail recognize the updated, restored folders? 3. Is there a way at this point to find individual message files in the backup and import them into Windows Mail again? By the way, yesterday I was creating a webpage to distribute status, scripts and such for various projects just hours before the crash! I mentioned that I have still not completed a CD or USB drive a speech during a Image restore and made a comment that I hope that I get it to work before I need it! I guess I better watch my comments, even though no one has probably seen those pages yet! Don Marang For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

[Blind-Computing] can't install?.......!......!!
Hi, greetings. I've been for the last three hours, trying to install my legal copy of roxio media creator 10. each time I would try, I get an error message that would only tell me that setup has been interrupted! Nothing else! Its s annoying! Anyone had any experiences like this? When I was installing the software for my hp office jet j5500 all-in-one, I had a similar issue, but I tried shutting off jaws for a while during the install process, and that did the trick. No luck this time though?!!! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, whether or not it works. Anything is worth a try at this time! This is expensive software! Many thanks. never ever take patients for indicission nor silence for weakness. stay strong and always believe in yourselves.

[Blind-Computing] Backing Up Documents and Settings Folder
Greetings, listers. I just purchased an 8gb Crucial Gizmo flash drive mainly to back up my Documents and Settings folder. First, using the Windows Backup utility, I created a copy of my Documents and Settings folder and saved it on my C drive in My Documents. This newly created folder was supposedly 6.6gb in size according to its Properties page. Next I copied it to the clipboard. But when I tried to paste it into my new flash drive, a message immediately popped up prompting me to insert a new volume because the flash drive was full. Hitting Retry, another message alerted me that my flash drive did not have enough capacity to hold the file I was trying to paste. I don't understand what's going on. My flash drive contains 7.5gb of available free space , so it should certainly be able to hold a 6.6gb file. Is it possible that this file is really bigger than 6.6gb? How can I determine the actual size if the figure on the Properties page is inaccurate? Or perhaps the amount of free space on my flash drive is being overstated? In any case, is there any way to back up my Documents and Settings folder onto this flash drive? Or will I have to bite the bullet and ante up for a larger flash drive or external hard drive? Any ideas? BTW, I was able to successfully copy and paste a smaller 2gb file to the flash drive, so I know it's not defective. I'm running XP Pro, if that makes any difference. Thanks.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Firefox question
I switch often between IE and FireFox. In fact I only really use fireFox to access inaccessible capture. The easiest way to switch between IE and Mozilla Firefox is to ' 1. Whilst in IE Press F6 to go to the address bar. 2 , Press Control C to copy the contents of the address bar. 3. Open Fire Fox and press F6 again to go to the address bar here. 4. Press control v to paste the address from your IE page and press enter. The page you were on in IE will then open in FireFox as well. The downside with switching between IE and FireFox is that they tend to quiz you as to whether you want them to be the default browser all the time but you can set this check to off in preferences.
