Re: [Blind-Computing] outlook express help
Account details, lots of old email messages, contact information? Simplest one that's meant to (but doesn't always)work is the settings transfer wizard: Start menu, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, and it just asks you if this is the target, or source machine, how you want to transfer the info, etc., but I've had it bomb out on me a few times, but not always, and, for example, I think you'd still need to provide email account passwords the first time you tried a send/receive on the new machine. What I generally do is export messages to outlook 2003, copy it's data files over to new machine and import them back into outlook express, but I manually create my own email accounts, and use the windows address book, file menu, save as, to copy contacts across, and, this is generally just a process I use as a form of backup as well.

Re: [Blind-Computing] concerning indexing in the system tray
I understand Rick's personal reason for not wanting to use the search index, but it only takes up a very small amount of system processes and a very small amount of ram. In fact, when your computer is busy doing other things it shuts off completely. The index only runs when there is something to be indexed like when you create a new file. If you do not create thousands of files a day then you won't feel it at all, nothing. the indexer takes about 32 KB of ram. This is only about 3% of a floppy disk. Believe me, the resources used up are negligible. These calculations are made based on an index of 160,000 items, which is probably much bigger than most. I don't feel a hit on my processor at all, nor have I ever had a crash due to the indexing. I'm sure you've never heard of people using netbooks having these problems either. Netbooks are much weaker but the indexer still runs without a problem.

[Blind-Computing] Sound cards not working after reboot
Hi all, I have an interesting problem that I have not run across before. I am trying to get audio (sound) output from our Dell PE 840 running Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise. I have tried a myriad of USB sound cards all with the same result. If I plug in a sound card that I have never used before into the Dell it will start working and I can get Narrator to work fine. Now if I reboot the computer and try that same USB sound card it won't work again and never will. This is the same results as with all sound cards I have tried. I have heard something about Win 2k8 not allow the loading of non signed drivers at boot up. Is this true and how can it be fixed? If not does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do to make this work? I am really pulling my hair out on this one.

Hi Matt, I missed a step in my previous post. control panel, administrative tools, services, and then tab once to move you from the tree-view to the list view, and then you can navigate to the indexing service by first letter. Once you have it selected, press enter to open the properties. Tab, and you will come to the place where you can set it to manual or disable.

I thought my little "old" cell phone was good enough for me. It never dawned on me that I might someday lose my phone and need a new one. Well, it's happened. I lost it and am just lost without a cell phone. I'm desperate. Since I need to get a phone, I figured I might as well take the plunge and jump on into modern times and get a phone that is more accessible then what I had. Can anyone tell me a really good phone that has screen reading capability (like JAWS), and is fairly easy to use. I am with A T and T. I think I remember seeing once on here something about software called "Talks". Is that like JAWS. I don't know at all what will work. I'd like to be able to go ahead and use the internet on it, maybe text and all the stuff that you young kids do here in the United States. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [Blind-Computing] XP Mode revisited
Hi Frank. It works like a remote desktop/terminal services session. From when I used XP Mode: 1. To switch from full screen to window mode, press ctrl+alt+left arrow twice. 2. As it is running like a Remote Desktop/Terminal Services session, shutting down XP Mode can't be done in the usual way. Instead you choose an option from the Windows Virtual PC toolbar, accessed with ctrl+alt+left arrow. Hope these help.

Re: [Blind-Computing] concerning indexing in the system tray
Hi Matt, Yes, you are correct. In my opinion, for the little difference in time accessing a file, the indexing service is not worth the resources it uses. I have it disabled on all of my systems.

[Blind-Computing] daily tip
Avoid Evil Twins Free municipal and college hotspots are popping up everywhere, and data thieves are taking advantage of them to lift your information. Hackers establish open networks and access users' information at will. Beware a public network unless you can confirm its SSID (Service Set Identifier; it's public name) or you are at a reputable business with Wi-Fi access and only that network is within range.
