[Blind-Computing] Remote desktop
Hi all, I don't how it's possible, but one my friend said to me, that with his friend they tried on one computer Jaws and next one without Jaws and from the computer, where was Jaws installed, he was able set many tasks on another computer. But as you wrote and as it's written in manual, Jaws must be on both computer needn't it?

[Blind-Computing] Problem with modem and printer
Hello everyone, My mom is having trouble getting connected at times to the internet through her dial-up ISP and also having some troubles with her printer. I have tried to figure it all out without success. Here are the problems. 1. She uses a dial-up ISP called blue light. Sometimes when she is on the phone talking to someone, the modem will kick in and try to connect her to the ISP. At other times, she can't get connected at all when trying to get on-line. 2. She just replaced an ink cartridge in her printer. Now, the printer doesn't print anything in the color green. It will print all other colors, just not green. My thought was the modem was set to re-dial at different times. But checking that I found out it was not set to do that anywhere. She has an alarm system that uses the phone line to send diagnostic reports to her security company at different times. I think maybe that security system may be causing some problems. Has anyone else had any problems with security systems conflicting with their dial-up? Now, sometimes when she can't get connected to her ISP, she can shut down her computer, re-start it and then be able to get connected. She is using XP Home and her dial-up connection goes through Internet Explorer to for her internet browsing. She doesn't know what version of IE she has, uses AVG suit for her firewall and anti-virus. Any suggestions on what maybe I can tell her to try would be very, very appreciated. I have to try to help her over the phone as she lives in another town. Thanks in advance, Ken For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] Remote desktop
Marek, I was exploring the Remote Desktop feature with JAWS 10, and was able to connect to another computer, however, since it didn't have JAWS, it didn't work. I contacted Freedom Scientific, and they told me that I had to pay extra, around $200, to unlock that feature. You can, however, try connecting using JAWS Tandem feature, which is designed for receiving or giving technical support to or from another computer. I hope this helps, Stewart A Overbey, Jr. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His Holy names.

[Blind-Computing] Windows Music Not Playing At Startup
Hi all, I find this quite interesting to say the least. All of a sudden, as of yesterday, when my computer is starting up and/or shutting down, I don't hear the windows music any more. I went into the control panel, to sounds and audio devices, to the sounds tab to make sure everything was fine there and it is. Does anyone know what the deal is here? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

[Blind-Computing] Using Audacity
OK, I've heard from members of this list that Audacity is the way to go insofar as getting slices of audio files. How would one go about taking a slice of an MP3 file, say from second 43 to second 58, and saving it in a 15-second sound clip of MP3 persuasion? Does the MP3 encoder need to be installed? If so, where one be gotten? Is this something a totally blind user could do? Are there JAWS scripts to facilitate the interface for Audacity? I'm finding that there's a lot of buttons on the screen that are not labeled.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Using Audacity
You have to download the lame MP3 encoder to get it to export directly to MP3 files - think there's a link to it in that tutorial page I sent you last time, and it also tells you how to implement it. Apart from that, Ctrl + Shift + I would let you import the said file, and you would then be in the selection section of it's interface, Ctrl + F6 will take you to the next relevant section, tab to the start and end controls and move left and right into the relevant HH, MM, SS sections and type in the values there, but tab in and out to double the settings/selections. You would then, on the file menu, choose export selection, and there you go. I also initially just let it export .wav files and then converted them myself, but if you look at that tutorial page, and search it for lame, you'll find the mention of downloading and installing the mp3 encoding.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Help Needed with InterVideo WinDVD 8
Hi Mark, There are very few DVDs with Descriptive Video included. Evidently, the blind community has not made it known by sales that they are interested.

[Blind-Computing] How to read messages in Miranda window
Hi. I got a pre-configured version of Miranda installed and it's working. I had a question about the chat window when I'm logged on to MSN. When an instant message comes in, I have to back tab from the input edidt field to the history window to read the message. It isn't automatically spoken. In the past, before Miranda, I used MSN Messenger, and incoming messages were spoken automatically. And I also could hear the previous messages again by hitting alt 1, 2, 3, etc. I wonder if something similar can be done in Miranda? Maybe JAWS scripts are needed? Not sure. Maybe some of you Miranda users would have some tips that would help. I'm still using JAWS 10 at present and XP Pro. Thanks for any help. Chris Feist - The one and only!

Re: [Blind-Computing] Using Audacity
Just went here again: http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-1.3.2-Guide.html And it worked, apart from where you'll see have changed one or two of it's links due to some changes they don't seem to have implemented, and the section on lame says: --- Download a copy of the LAME encoder. This is available from a number of websites, for example the MP3 page of the Rarewares website, whose address is http://rarewares.org/mp3.html A direct link to the zip file which you need to download is: lame3.97.zip. (this has now been moved/recompiled), and here's a link to a page where you can find the new version): http://rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php navigate to the level 3 headings, and look for this one: LAME 3.98.2, and look for the download referral link below it. The only file which you need from this zip file is lame_enc.dll. Note that a zip file is treated as a folder in Windows Explorer. Copy the file lame_enc.dll to another location on the disk: for example, create a LAME folder in either My Documents or C:\Program Files, and copy lame_enc.dll to that folder. You now need to tell Audacity the location of the file lame_enc.dll, and this is described in the next section. Location of LAME MP3 encoder library To tell Audacity where to find the LAME MP3 encoder library: In the Audacity Preferences dialog, select the File Formats category. TAB to the MP3 Export Setup: Find Library button, and press it. A dialog opens asking you whether you would like to locate the file lame_enc.dll. Press ENTER to press Yes. A Where is lame_enc.dll? dialog opens which has the structure of a standard Open dialog. Navigate to the file, select it, and press ENTER. You are returned to the Audacity Preferences dialog. Note that if you now want to press the default OK button, you have to first TAB to move away from the Find Library button, and then then press ENTER to press the default OK button.
