Re: [Blind-Computing] playing a track on DVD using VLC
How do you then start VLC? I think it would be best to open My computer (windows key + E), arrow down to the DVD, right click on it, and choose something like play with VLC media player. There is also a way to select it from within the player itsself, but this is how I generally do it, including on folder copies of DVDs.

[Blind-Computing] Special News Alert: Adobe Reader flaw appears in Flash
http://www.komando.com/dailynews/index.aspx?id=9469 Special News Alert: Adobe Reader flaw appears in Flash Adobe has just announced a new security flaw in Flash. The flaw is the same as the recent problem revealed in Reader. The Flash flaw won't be patched until the week of Sept. 27. And the flaw in Reader won't be patched until the week of Oct. 4. Until the patches arrive, there are few options to stay safe. You can use another PDF reader. Unfortunately, though, there isn't a good alternative to Flash. Adobe and Microsoft recommend trying Microsoft's latest Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET). This makes it easy to enable advanced security options in Windows. One of these options is turned off in Reader and Flash. The cause of the flaw is complex, but here's the short version. One of the Adobe files lacks Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) capability. This allows hackers to circumvent safeguards and run code. Activating ASLR for Flash and Reader can slow down hackers. Note that ASLR is only available in Windows Vista and 7. XP users will have to wait for a patch. Download and run the EMET program. Click the Configure System button. Change the Profile Name to Maximum Security Settings. Then click OK. Now click the Configure Apps button at the bottom of the program. Click the Add button. Then go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\. You will see at least one application (.EXE) file. Select that and click Open. Repeat this step for every .EXE file in that directory. Now click the Add button again. Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\. Select the application file AcroRDd32.exe. Then click Open. Once this is done, click OK. Now restart your computer. Your system should be reasonably protected. Now, it is important to note that Flash and Reader weren't designed to work this way. You may encounter some problems. In that case, you will need to turn off ASLR. Open the EMET program. Click the Configure Apps button. Now select an application and click the Remove button. Do this for all the affected programs. Click OK and restart the computer. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Hello all! Want an accessible DVD and media player? Look no further than VLC Media Player! You can select what part of the DVD you want to play simply by using the VLC Media Player menus. No inaccessible DVD menu to navigate; just select what you want from the user interface. You can even select an audio described track if you have one. You can download this free and open source program from www.videolan.org. It even works with Windows 7 so you don't have to use Windows Media Player, which is good but does not have an accessible DVD player.

[Blind-Computing] daily tip
Save The Page If you're using Internet Explorer and you come across a Web page with information you want to preserve, there are two good ways to keep the information without having to use a Web browser to bring it back up. The first and simplest way is to print it; it never hurts to have a hard copy of information you need. Another method is to save the Web page as an .MHT (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) file, which is essentially just a snapshot of the page. In this format you can send the page to others or double-click on it to open it directly. To make a .MHT file from a Web page, click File (press the ALT key to reveal the File menu if you don't see it), click Save As, and in the dialog box be sure to select the .MHT file type. Tell the computer where to put the file and click Save. David Ferrin www.jaws-users.com Life is what happens after you have already made other plans.

Re: [Blind-Computing] help with getting new router
Hi Mel; I don't know very much about routers but, I have used linksys for several years with no problems. On the other hand, we needed to have a wireless router installed and found that the Belkin makes an excellent product also! The Belkin wireless router was well under $100.00 at Best Buy. Hope this helps. Take care. Mike - Original Message - From: "Mystical Charm" To: Sent: Monday, September 13, 2010 7:33 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] help with getting new router I have no idea about finding a new router so, I need some suggestions. I was with Verizon before and had Y-Fi. Now, I changed providers and I am now with Comcast. My boyfriend and I have no clue about which router to purchase. I would like for it to be an easy install but if it requires sighted help my boyfriend can see so, he can help there but, again, we both do not know which to purchase and we no nothing about this sort of thing. Verizon set up the Y-Fi router for us. Comcast told us when we got their service that they do not carry wireless/Y-Fi routers so, we would have to purchase one. It's like pulling teeth with Comcast so, it doesn't help to ask them anything and that is all they would tell me. Ok, so we are wanting wireless/Y-Fi router. Easy install but, not necessary. I have a Desktop with Windows XP Pro and my boyfriend has a laptop with Windows Vista if that info is needed. We are really not wanting to go above $150.00 but, a little over that will be ok. We do a lot of streaming. I'm going to have to purchase this from Wal-Mart online because we need this soon because my boyfriend works from home so, he needs to use the internet soon. We don't have much left in the accounts but, we have a Wal-Mart card we can put the router on so, that is why I mention Wal-Mart. If there is a place better to purchase a router instead of Wal-Mart please let me know anyway; we don't want anything cheap that will end up not working as soon as we purchase it. If there is anything else I need to let any of you know please let me know.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Arranging folders in folders
Hi Brian; Yes you can! They are called sub-folders. When you are in a folder, using XP, press Alt + F for the file menu, the letter W for new submenu, the letter F for folder, and you will now be in an edit field that you type what you want to name the folder. When you are finished typing the folder name, press enter to save and, wham-bam you've got yourself a folder within a folder. Hope this helps. Take care.

[Blind-Computing] memo to the list
This is in regard of the recent thread about some of us being old timers myself included BTW. A couple of us who monitor these lists have been receiving private messages from people complaining about the way things have been handled. Personally my opinion is that it was handled quite well. A young man made what he felt was an innocent comment and he got a lot of flack for it from many of the members on here, again myself included. We left the thread go for a couple of days just to lighten the mood on here but yesterday I decided it was time to shut it down and get back to the purpose of what this list is all about. Now I am getting private messages that the guys are getting complaints that things were heading in a racial or ethnic direction. This I can state for a fact is not, never has been, or never will be an issue on any list I have a hand in monitoring. I can't control private messages any of you might send to each other but so far as what comes over this forum that's an other story. I do this because I feel it is something that needs to be done. People in my opinion need a safe place where they can ask for help without fear of being insulted or criticized for not knowing a particular fact of computing. I started JAWS Users with Bob almost five years ago and Rick joined us about six months later, together the three of us have weathered some pretty big storms again just because we all feel it is something that simply needs to be done. The only thing we get out of it is the satisfaction that we are doing something that is helping out a lot of people or at least we'd like to think so. Honestly there are days when I think that playing electronic golf or enjoying the out side world listening to my Victor Reader seem pretty enticing. Some day we may shut it down although we are not planning on it at the present time. I need Rick and Bob to help me run these lists and if they get tired of doing it I'm not doing them alone, they are just too big. So no more private messages to either of them.

Re: [Blind-Computing] memo to the list
I am aware of the fact that many people benefit from what goes on here and it is nice that you state that fact, thank you. I only posted my earlier message to clear the air so to speak and to mention that the guys that work with me on here are every bit as important to keeping the doors open as I am. Often times I have to step away for family reasons or what ever and they handle the load without missing a beat. I had to step back about 6 months ago for several weeks and almost nobody noticed because they took the ball and kept everything running smoothly. It's just that once in a while I have to climb up on my soap box because I'm so short just to get my point across.
