I'm having an issue where i e 6 won't open a lot of web sites. They will
open if I use Fire fox of most any version. Can anyone tell me why and if
there is a fix with i e 6?

Hi Jim,

It's probably just too outdated.

Upgrade at least to internet explorer 7, but preferably to version
eight.

Regards,

Riana

[Blind-Computing] outlook 2010

2011-11-03 Thread karen schrade
David, thanks for the link for the nk2 help. I'll check it out. I was hoping 
to get outlook
to work without any additions!

Al, control 3 does get me to the list of contacts. first i hear the  heading 
titles, i. e. name, company name, etc. then, i down arrow and get to
the names from my addressbook in OE. I have automatic name checking checked 
and also the auto complete in to, bcc, and cc.

wonder of wonders! i just went and tried sending myself a message and the 
address completed itself. maybe i said the magic words!

my daughter suggested doing the control k thing but i am so used to just 
typing two letters and having the address pop into the field that it would
take some getting used to. thanks, maybe this will keep working even though 
i don't know what i did!  karen

Re: [Blind-Computing] i e 6 problem

2011-11-03 Thread Doris and Chris
If you cannot upgrade to a newer version of IE and the webpages you 
need to access do not work with ie, open them in firefox instead. If 
you  are running win 2k still, at least firefox 3.6 and 4.0 will work 
on win 2k. Not sure about later versions of firefox.

2011-11-03 Thread Bob W
Yeah, I really think you are going to have to abandon ie6 at some point.

If FireFox or google chrome wont work either, you may want to try WebbIe, a 
very basic but rather rugged web browser. It can be downloaded from
http://www.webbie.org.uk/

Thanks.

[Blind-Computing] Is it possible to rip and burn a CD using WMP 12 and JAWS 12?

2011-11-03 Thread Allen Childs
Hi everyone,
I have WMP 12, JAWS 12 and W7.  I would like to know if it is possible
to rip and then burn a cd using WMP 12.  I am trying to burn something for a
friend.  I had to have help from my wife to get the cd ripped.  I haven't
tried to burn it yet.
I wasn't sure if anyone knew how to do this using WMP 12, or if there is
a tutorial somewhere covering it.
If someone can help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
 
Allen

2011-11-03 Thread Rosemarie Chavarria

Hi, Jim,

Your best bet would be to upgrade to IE 7 or 8 if it's possible. If you have 
firefox, open your sites with that. I personally like firefox better because 
it's so much faster than internet explorer.

If upgrading isn't an option, maybe you could try web IE. I don't know of

[Blind-Computing] removing items from startup

Hi all.
I have three items in my startup that I would like to remove.  However, when 
going to MSConfig's startup I do not see them listed.  Is there another way to 
do this?  The items are Qwitter, Dropbox and Hope, if that makes any difference.

Thanks for any suggestions.
