[Blind-Computing] Need to create scheduled restart in Win XP
Hi folks, I need to set my computer up to restart every day as I'm off on holiday and want to leave DigiTV running to record things; I've found that the program crashes if left unattended for more than a day or two... I've been in to scheduled tasks and think I know how that works. I have also set up a shortcut on my desktop with the target as %windir%\system32\Shutdown.exe -r -t 00 This throws up some sort of error message when it activates if triggered by scheduled tasks, although it works fine if activated by hitting enter on the shortcut or using the hotkey assigned to it. I used to create batch files in the old days of DOS but can't, for the life of me, remember how to set one up, although I would presumably use the syntax as above if I could remember how to go about creating the .bat file. Has anyone got any ideas? I don't care how I achieve it, as long as I can get the machine to reboot every day at a given time.

[Blind-Computing] daily tip
PC Maintenance Most PCs use traditional hard drives for file storage. Over time, the continual data writes and deletions of everyday PC usage start to take a toll on a drive's data transfer speed. As a hard drive's capacity fills with files, it stores new information on parts of the disks that are slower to write and read. Moreover, a very full drive will pose problems for the OS (operating system), which requires a certain amount of free drive space to run properly. Therefore, you should occasionally run a utility, such as Windows' Disk Cleanup or Piriform's CCleaner (www.piriform.com) to get rid of junk files. While you're at it, uninstall programs you no longer need. Also, as free space dwindles into small chunks, a drive starts to store large files in fragments. This bogs down reads and writes, too. Use an automatic defragmentation utility to keep your computers sprightly.

[Blind-Computing] Disabling GMail Address Book
Yesterday, when I sent an e-mail to you, it wound up also going to one of my friends. I do everything through the web with GMail, and because I didn't know your address off-hand, I was copying and pasting it in. But then, NVDA would stop speaking and I had no idea that it was putting the name of the group and then the address in the to field. I thought I'd accidentally copied the extra information instead of just the address, so I deleted it. I usually type in addresses so don't come across this very often. In any case, is there a way for me to make GMail not automatically paste in e-mail addresses or change the ones I do paste in by adding names etc in them? It would be fine if I could see it doing that but when I type in the first few characters, I have to then wait for NVDA, then get out of the form and go back in again to make sure that it chose the correct address.

[Blind-Computing] A Few Programming Questions
Hi, I'm interested in programming, mostly for myself, but am willing to share with any other DOS users out there. I like proceedural languages, where you write out all the steps that a computer must take to do things and I naturally prefer the cli and tui interfaces with commands, hotkeys and easy-to-use menus. I don't like object-oriented languages, particularly graphical ones as I like a more straight forward approach both as a user and as a programmer. I've just started learning batch programming, since I was told this would be an easy way for me to learn the basics. I'm really excited about the many ways in which I can customise my machine and can't wait to learn how to use this powerful language to do all sorts of things. I had planned on learning QuickBASIC, either during or after the batch programming, but today, someone recommended that I should learn FreeBASIC for DOS. Has anyone worked with this language? If so, what are the main differences between it and QB and what are the benefits of using it? Does it have it's own built-in compiler and if so, how accessible is it? If not, then can you recommend a compiler for it that will work with a screen reader like VocalEyes? Is it anything like Visual BASIC? Wikipedia has the Hello World program written in BASIC, QuickBASIC and Visual BASIC and the latter totally confused me. I'd much rather something similar to QB. Also, has anyone here worked with DBASE and Clipper? I'm considering learning that as well. It might be really early to ask this, but can anyone give me some general tips on making my programs accessible? I know that I have to write to the bios and not to the screen but am not sure if this will be an issue with the languages that I'll be using. Finally, can I create a tsr with said languages?

B-C members, I am not sure if my messages are being rejected by the server or not. I have posted a couple of different times regarding my problems with Qwitter. If this is not the place to post such message please someone direct me in the right direction. Qwitter message posted two different times but I do not think either one made it to the list pasted below. members, Afew days ago I posted a problem I was having with Qwitter. The problem still exist. I had Qwitter back several months ago and had to uninstall it. When I went to uninstall it I do not remember if Qwitter had an uninstall selection on their icon on the start menu but I either went through the icon or the add/remove programs in the control panel. The problem is Qwitter downloads properly or at least goes through the motions this is on a reinstall of Qwitter. When Qwitter appeared to not be opening up correctly I went to uninstall the program again in the same fashion as before and got a message that all the elements could not be removed but it also said I could remove the elements manually. Can someone please assist me with this? Once the other elements are removed i think Qwitter should install as it should. J.P.

Re: [Blind-Computing] QWITTER
Thank you for this information. - Original Message - From: Ishe Chinyoka chinyoka.consult...@gmail.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] QWITTER Hi, Programs that tell you of files you have to manually remove will usually refer to the following situations: (1) settings stored in INI files which you may need to use later; or (2) Programs that create files which are useful to you. In other words, the program would have created such files by your own action. Now the nest question is how to remove such files. Well, using a file manager such as 7zip file manager or even our native Windows Explorer, navigate to Program Files (often C:\Program Files\, find the folder where Quitter had been installed. Highlight the folder, Then Press Shift+Delete to permanently wipe off the folder from the face of the earth. Well, if you don't mind the recycle bin size, just press delete and the folder will be sent back to the recycle bin instead. Next, you need to navigate to where programs often store their settings. I am not sure which Windows OS you're using, but the folder on XP should be C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\app data. In this folder, you will find lots of folders referring to different programs that store their settings there. Find that of Quitter. Now without opening the folder of Quitter, repeat the same operation you did in Program Files: namely, press shift+delete to destroy the folder and all its contents (the settings). After this, you are clean: you're ready to install a fresh copy of Quitter. Actually Quitter is cool: so I wish you all the best. Any problem just post with detail. By the way, I made some assumptions like C:\program files for this is the normal storage area of all installed programs unless you changed; if you did so, just substitute my bigoted Program Files with your correct path. Another bigoted or assumption is the your user name just substitute that phrase in angle brackets with your own username you are logged with. Another issue you need to sort out is if you are on Windows 7, you need not enter the C:\documents .. path, users have got a special folder in the root.

Re: [Blind-Computing] A Few Programming Questions
Hello There: For whatever it's worth, take some advice from a somewhat grizzled veteran programmer; forget about QuickBasic. A flavour of Basic I used to use for recreational purposes is some thing called Rapid Q Basic (also known as Rapid-Q). It supports both console mode (very much like QuickBasic) and GUI. I found it to be an excellent way of transitioning to the GUI world. It works pretty well with a screen reader (at that time Jaws 4.2). The EXE files that the compiler generates also produces fairly good screen reader compliant results. I hope this helps.

Re: [Blind-Computing] A Few Programming Questions
Thanks for the blind programmer's list. I'll try there. As I've said, I have no intention of writing Windows or gui programs, and it sounds like Rapid Q Basic is for Windows, judging by the version of JAWS that you used. But can this language and compiler be used in DOS?

[Blind-Computing] My Dream Computer: Am I Missing Anything?
Awhile ago, I was considering a laptop or a palmtop. Well, I couldn't find a palmtop that matched my specifications (alot less than these of course), so decided to try for a laptop or desktop. I sent my request to several places, and one company, JG Custom PCs, said that they' be willing to make one for me. The laptop would be out of my price range but the desktop would be far less than the $600-$800 that I'd set as my highest prices. Plus, it would give me great flexibility and true customisability. So here are my final computer specs that I sent to the technician. Please let me know if I've missed anything essential and feel free to make comments or to ask questions. He hasn't started building it yet and is in the process of looking for parts. If you're not interested in reading all the specs then I'd like to know one thing. Should I get PCI or ISA slots or neither? I've already included serial and parallel ports and pcmcia and scsi slots. But I'm not sure if I'll need a pci or isa slot and wouldn't want to be without one if I do. If you have a laptop that meets a good number of these specs and are willing to sell it, could you please let me know offlist? The 5.25 floppy, cd rom, scsi slot, ethernet jack and usb port are not necessary on the laptop. I'd also like something under 7 lbs. if possible and with less than a 14.1 screen (smaller is better). Needless to say, I'll also except a desktop if you have it, same exceptions apply, with the addition of the pcmcia slot not being necessary, since most desktops don't have those. But having both floppies would be nice. The only catch is that it has to have some DOS drivers, at least for important things like the bios, or I'm not sure if I'll be able to have the os installed on it, which explains why I didn't simply buy one from Ebay. But I can do the research if you give me the name and model. Stars mean that something is essential and dbd means determined by designer. The optional section is idealistic and not necessary. === Desktop Specifications Form Factor small/able to fit on desk (mini tower if possible and regular desktop if not) Weight whatever is reasonable for size and hardware included hard disk capacity No more than 5gb and no less than 100mb if there's no partition. Willing to accept a partition of a single 10gb drive split into two5gb drives or two separate internal drives but if you know how to makeDOS see more than 5gb I'll accept a larger single drive. Nothing over 20gb is needed. Ram *No more than 64mb and no les than 32mb. CPU Speed No more than 500mhz and no less than 100mhz. Input Enhanced 101 keyboard (already owned but a new one is fine so long as it doesn't connect via usb port.) Media *1 3.5 in. (1.44mb,, LS240 or HiFD 200mb) floppy *1 5.25 in. high dencity floppy, 1 cd rom Connectivity *1 standard RS-232 9-pin male serial port *1 bidirectional female parallel port (2 if possible) *1 pcmcia slot *1 modem jack with internal 56k modem 1 ethernet jack *1 ps/2 port 1 line-in jack or microphone jack *1 headphone/speaker jack video ports dbd 1 scsi slot 1 usb 2.0 port Sound *built-in DOS-compatible sound card Screen-related resolution: dbd graphics etc.: dbd OS Latest stable release of Enhanced DR-DOS with all necessary drivers and patches preferred. If not, then a machine with FreeDOS installed. Links and installation instructions will be provided. Ideal/optional parts from Japan,, America, Europe etc. and not china, Korea, Taiwan etc. (really appreciated) ability to burn with cd rom if drive is included wireless card (WaveLAN and ORiNOCO might work with DOS) metal casing 1 750mb zip drive other essential hardware dbd For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
