Re: [Blind-Computing] Question about USB drive boxes
Hi Richard, Yes, I have several old hard drives from computers I have owned. It seemed unreasonable to hang on to the entire computer when the data I wanted was on the hard drive. So, I pulled the drives and decided that I should get to converting the data over to CD or something that I will be able to access. So, I know very little about the drives themselves. It sounds like I need to buy a drive box for both ide, and ata. This way I would have all the bases covered. It is amazing that all the contents of these hard rives could be placed on one of the more modern hard drives. Even better I won't need to copy over the operating systems. That should save some room. I appreciate any insights on my project.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Narrator during Windows Installation?
Thanks for the explanation. Good luck with your installation this weekend. Let us know how it goes. Gerald - Original Message - From: "Rick Justice" To: Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 4:53 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Narrator during Windows Installation? Hi Gerald, Yes, the O/S is already installed, but Windows has something they call out of bvox experience.. What this amounts to is setting up your date and time, network if you want one, and registering and activating Windows. There may be a couple of other items, but I don't remember them right off. If you are setting this up on a machine you just bought, you will have sound thru the speakers because all of the drivers are already installed for your hardware. Now, as to installing Vista or Windows 7 on a box with XP already installed, you will have your screen-reader during the first part of the install, because you are installing from a host O/S, but this will only be available until the machine re-boots for the first time. After that, just leave the machine alone for maybe an hour, and then hit the Windows key + the letter U, and Narrator will come up, allowing you to finish the install. Note: The only way you will have sound for Narrator, is if you have a USB soundcard, such as a USB headset. The reason for this is, that you won't have the drivers for your soundcard, but a USB headset doesn't require any special drivers. If you want more detail on the out of box experience I mentioned, then stay-tuned, hopefully I'm reloading a machine this weekend from an xp installation disk. HTH, Richard Q.

Hi Mark, These words you are reading, ide, ata, sata, and fire-wire, are referring to the type of connection the internal hard drive uses when installed in a computer. If you are using the older drives such as the ide and ata, then that is the type of enclosure you want to get. USB, is the type of connection that the enclosure will use to connect to the computer externally. The reason you need to know what type of connection you have is, the enclosure uses a bridge to make the transition from the drive to the USB connection If you have any more questions, just sing out.

Does anyone know if Narrator is available at any point during a Windows 7 install? I thought I heard that Narrator could be turned on about half way through a Vista install using Windows + u. Perhaps pressing Alt + n would be necessary as well? I have not installed either, so I have no personal experience.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Narrator during Windows Installation?
I'm a little confused. If Narrator already worked when you turned on your new computer for the first time, wouldn't that indicate that Windows was already completely installed? Don't all new computers come with the OS ready to go? It seems to me that the only reason to installWindows on a new computer would be to install a different version than the preinstalled version, like for example, installing XP on a new machine equipped with Vista. But it sounds like installing Windows is not for the technically challenged or faint of heart like me.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Problem With System Access to Go
Well speaking of SA in particular, we purchased the System Access with the Mobile network yesterday. We are happy with it so far. No it doesn't have all the bells and whistles JFW has, but its cheaper to pay $24.95 a month for running it on 2 machines and you get access to there mobile net. We are just tired of JAWS.

Hi, everyone I'm thinking of putting all my LEFT BEHIND books on a thumb drive but I don't know how to find the size of a file to see if it will fit. I asked my nephew and he said to find it in properties but it's not there. How do I find out how large the file is so I can put it on a proper thumb drive? Any help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Rosemarie For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[Blind-Computing] Question about USB drive boxes
Hi I was looking at USB hard drive boxes on E-Bay today. These are the ones where one installs the hard drive of their choice in to the drive box and then one can plug the hard drive in to a USB port. It seems to me that I had heard their are several types of these boxes and I am not sure what I need to be compatible with the older 3.5 inch 20 MB and higher hard drives. I am reading terms like IDE and other things I do not understand. Any advice is appreciated.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Accessibility issues with latest AVG 8.5
Hmmm that's interesting as both myself and my husband use AVG 8.5 and have no problems at all with it's interface and we both use Jaws 10. - Original Message - From: "David Griffith" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 4:45 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Accessibility issues with latest AVG 8.5 Dear Chris Yes - I am having the same issues of having to access the interface now with the Jaws cursor. AVG has certainly plummeted downhill from an accessibility standpoint since the version 7 I purchased. I attempted to turn off the span filter the other day and there was no way I could do this even after about 30 minutes of routing the jaws cursor around the interface. I will probably jettison AVG when my licence expires. I moved from Nod 32 to AVG because at the time there was no inbuilt Internet Security. I understand ESET have resolved this now so I may go back to this solution assuming that ESET have not crippled their accessibility also.

Gerald - Original Message - From: "Chris Hallsworth" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 2:20 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Accessibility issues with latest AVG 8.5 Hello all, Are any of you finding broken accessibility in the following areas with the latest AVG 8.5? These did not happen with previous builds, nor did it with 8.0. 1. The security status can now only be read with the screen reader's virtual mouse. Previously you could read it using the JAWS PC cursor or whatever your screen reader uses to track the system focus. 2. In the virus vault, after clicking the empty vault button, the yes button isn't in the tab order. Instead, you need to click it using your virtual mouse after finding the yes button. Previously one could tab to and activate the yes button using standard convensions. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Re: [Blind-Computing] What's to be paused?
Pressing this with the Windows key brings up the system properties. It's a key that used to be used in the DOS days to break (pause) an action. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: christpher...@googlemail.com MSN: ch9...@hotmail.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Join TAFN by visiting www.tafn.org.uk - Original Message - From: "Cliff Smales" To: Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 3:07 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] What's to be paused?
