Re: [Blind-Computing] 2 Out look Express problems
Hi Brian, I am aware of copying from the Virtual Cursor and glad you have learned about it also, but if you receive Email messages that read " cell " and have tables, using the program and steps that I provided you will alleviate all of those problems of getting those messages you spoke of when trying to send / forward an email.. One other thing that is great about the Email Stripper program is that if there are any links that lead you to a website or are a shortcut to something, runnin the email through Email Stripper will keep the links in tact/ they will still work after the stripping process for the people you send the email to. Take care.

Hi Jacob, Thanks for the suggestion. Brian - Original Message - From: "Jacob Kruger" To: Sent: Sunday, October 18, 2009 12:25 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] 2 Out look Express problems Pretty sure the first one is due to when you reply to a message in another text encoding, it might reuse it, and on the format menu, there's a submenu for encoding, and the top/default one should be alright. Also, although my outlook express is set to generally use plain text, if I reply to an HTML mail, it'll sometimes try use HTML as well, and for that one, on the format menu, the two options for rich text and plain text seem to be usable to turn this off, but I sometimes seem to have to alternate between them to sort it out, so often enough, Alt + O, then R to turn on rich text, and then Alt + O, and then X to enforce plain text formatting will sort this out, and this won't affect attachments as such.

It's simple to use, and best of all it's FREE! http://www.blind-computing.com/e_mail/programs/emailstripper-installer.exe The reason you get Jaws saying " cell " is because of the HTML language.

Re: [Blind-Computing] networking 2 computers with a wireless router
Hi David, Yes I set up all the folders for sharing. I will try to run the setup wizard again on both machines using the setup disc way. Thanks for the ideas.

I did this running the Network setup wizard first on the Desktop XP machine. I then created a network setup wizard onto a USB pen to run on the Netbook. I did this and the wizard reported success but initially both machines could not see each other. For some reason I had to run the network setup again on the desktop this time from the USB pen and then again from the USB pen on the Netbook. I cannot remember if I had to reboot or not.

By the way I am assuming that you have already set up sharing permissions on the folders you want to share on the network? Of course nothing will be seen unless you set this up under sharing and security in the drive or folder properties.

Products like Eset Smart Security are no problem at all with home networking apart from you needing to specify in my case with the Jaws cursor that I wanted to allow network folder sharing during setup.

Before, when I networked them through a "hard-wired" router, it was simple. I just plugged both into the router, went through the "My Network Places" setup wizard, and was able to let the second computer see my shared documents and print to the printer I had connected to my main computer. I tried to do the same thing with the wireless setup wizard, but I couldn't find the steps to set anything up like I did in the regular network setup wizard. The second computer doesn't see the printer or the main computer. The main computer is hooked directly into the router, the other computer that is hooked up wirelessly can't see my shared folder or the printer. I can't see the wirelessly connected computer either. I also have a 1 terabyte external drive hooked up to my main computer. I'd like to let the second computer see that also. I can see it just fine in My Network Places on my desktop so I figure I got that setup correctly. Both computers are running XP. Please help as the second computer is used by my wife in another room and she has threatened to make me sleep in the dog house if I can't figure it out; and it's getting cold here in Colorado at night!
