[Blind-Computing] Restoring my active desktop
Hi All I asked a couple of weeks ago about restoring my Active Desktop and I noticed a few answers, thank you all. However it turned out to be a very nasty piece of malware. a warning to you all it comes in an apparent email from DHL who i deal with all the time for work, destroyed my entire set up, now completely clean on different computer. Again thanks for the help and apologies to the moderator if this appears slightly off topic. I am still shattered by it all so this is blind girl's therapy.

Hello Rosemarie; you should be able to get ServicePack3 through the MicrosoftWindowsUpdate. you can get a download if you wish to do it that way. however, through Microsoft, you will only get the files required for your computer.

Re: [Blind-Computing] still having problems with web IE
SP3 is the most recent service pack update to Windows XP. If you don't have it installed on your XP system, shame on you! SP3 is a collection of security updates and patches that addresses vulnerability issues in XP. To determine which service pack is currently installed on your XP machine, go to the Desktop (Windows key-M), focus on My Computer and press Alt-Enter to launch the Properties dialog. You should hear an announcement of your operating system and current service pack.

[Blind-Computing] Advice on getting a new computer
I have been advised to get a new computer to help me do what I am doing and wonder whether it would be better to build a machine instead of purchasing one from the brands that are now available. This is what I want. My computer should be equipped with Windows 7 professional and I am told that it should be a 64-bit setup. What is the difference between a 32-bit and 64-bit machine and what are the advantages of having either one. It should also have at least 4 GB of RAM and a fast enough processor. It should be equipped with a good sound card that can show up the music that I am listening to but I have no idea of choosing a sound card. At this point in time I am using Office 2003 professional which I can use pretty good but my nephew has sent me Office 2007 and I don't know anything about using the ribbon menus. What about the motherboard which I should purchase to get the best out of the package. One other thing: I have been told that some software is not available for 64-bit computers. The last thing I need to have is a TV card so that I can listen to programmes on television. I hope my message makes some sense and I look forward to all the advice you can give.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Advice on getting a new computer
Firstly, who will be building the machine? You, or a family member, or a computer store? I'm asking because prices will range significantly depending on who is building the machine. What is it that you're doing? no need to build a powerhouse of a computer if you will only be using NotePad and casually browsing the internet. Why is Windows7 Pro a necessity? the Jaws license will cost you about $300 more than regular license. Window eyes license will not demand this outrageous additional cost. A 64-bit machine will allow for more ram to be used--up to 24 gigs. A 32-bit version of Windows 7 will only allow for 4 gigs of ram max. If you will be processing large audio or video files as is the case with a media center PC then you will want Windows 64-bit. If you want a good high-end sound card then expect to pay an additional $150+--at the very least. My motherboard came with an 8-channel sound card that seems to be doing the job for me. I use it with a 2.1 speaker system and it sounds great. You can install Office 2003 on your Windows 7 machine without a problem. Motherboards vary in cost from under $100 to $350+. You may also need to buy a new processor that will run with your current motherboard. A TV tuner card will cost you about $90+ for a good one. You can buy a remote control for about $15. If all this is a mystery to you then plan on spending the next couple of weeks doing your research, or get an experienced person to help you build the computer. In all honesty, unless that friend or family member is willing to be your go to tech support, you should buy an already assembled off the shelf Home Theatre PC. for what you want, I'm thinking you will probably be spending about $1000 for a low-end machine or up to $1700 for a nice almost top of the line home-built machine. An equivalent machine from Dell will cost you about $2400 to $3200 respectively. If I were you I'd jump on the newegg.com or amazon.com and look around because its black Friday today and there's lots of good deals on these items. Andre - Original Message - From: Francis E.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Jaws professional
Chris is right. If you have a need to control several computers or are running a server, or want to use pro versions of operating systems, then get the pro license. If you don't do any of these things then the standard Jaws license will do just fine. It should still be a crime that Freedom scientific is needlessly robbing us of extra $300 in cash, but just my opinion.

Why is Windows7 Pro a necessity? the Jaws license will cost you about $300 more than regular license. Window eyes license will not demand this outrageous additional cost.

[Blind-Computing] daily information
Daily Tip: Word Shortcuts Microsoft Word is perfectly navigable with a mouse and a few clicks on the Ribbon, but it also has loads of keyboard shortcuts that you can take advantage of while you're typing away. Once learned, these can make your work significantly more efficient. Here are a few favorites: CTRL-C copies a highlighted section of text. CTRL-P pastes a copied section of text. CTRL-X cuts any highlighted text; generally, the next step would be to paste the cut section somewhere else. CTRL-D brings up the Font window; from here you can modify font, text size, character spacing, and styles. END moves the cursor to the end of a line. CTRL-K brings up the Hyperlink window. SHIFT-F7 brings up the Thesaurus window. CTRL-S saves the open document. Daily Term: ligature A combination character used with some fonts when two regular characters appear next to each other and bump against each other. For example, a publisher may replace the letters ff with a ligature that connects the short line in the middle of the characters.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Advice on getting a new computer
We're talking building high-end not low-end stuff most people use on a daily basis. An I-7 quadcore processor at 3 GHz will set you back $300. High-end Corsair dominator ram will set you back about $170 for 6 gigs. A western digital VelociRaptor HD will set you back about $270. A good motherboard will set you back about $300. Your average Dell computer will set you back about $600. It all depends on the level of performance you are looking for.
