Re: [Blind-Computing] Audio Challenges
Hi Ed, Below is some information I've had saved for quite awhile & hope that the phone numbers are still good. This headset allows you to listen to both your computer and the telephone at the same time. Name, Dual Head Sets by Plantronics. Model or part number SMH1783-11. Price $350.00 to $400.00. Name of distributor, Phone supplements Phone, 1-800-742-1800 I've used Plantronics for years. The newer models unplug part way down the cord so you can switch out the end you need. I have an eighth inch plug on 1 side and a phone plug on the other. I believe the model line you are needing is the Supra. Don't let someone talk you into a stereo set, it won't work. Here is the contact info for a company called Headsets Direct. That's where I got my last set from. Keep in mind everyone doesn't understand what we need with a different cord for each ear. I know the best person you will talk to there is Ed, in tech support. Everyone is friendly, and I've never spoken with anyone that didn't speak English clearly... 1-888-244-0483 Toll Free . 928-777-9100 Telephone . www.HeadsetsDirect.com Bob Hello Jim, I agree with others on this list that Plantronics equipment is the way to go. For some reason buying from vendors is cheaper than buying from Plantronics direct. SKC Communication Products Inc. 800 882 7779 SMH1783-11 headset special, price around $240.00I think Also get the optional AC adapter 26503-01 If they ask who told you, Art from Pittsburgh.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Audio Challenges
Hi I am not sure if this is possible but there should be a way in the software to mute the sound going over the phone line while you are using voice command. Then you should be able to mute voice command while talking on the phone. If you could connect the switch to a key on the phone it would be the best. God bless, Mark God Loves you!

Re: [Blind-Computing] Audio Challenges
Ed, do you have a mixer of some sort. If you did, this would solve your problem. You can get a Berrenger for around 50 or 60 dollars. That might be the way to go, considering you're wanting to listen to multiple audio sources at the same time. That would also eliminate the need to plug and unplug your devices. - Original Message - From: "Marquette, Ed" To: Sent: Friday, November 11, 2011 10:02 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Audio Challenges Hello all: I have a real challenge, and I am thinking that someone on this list may have an idea as to a solution.

If it helps, get your beer, smoke or tea and activate the say all command and sit back and chill while I type this lol. First off, I have an hp machine running windows seven pro 64 bit, which was a Christmas gift fror me last year. A few weekes ago, I was going to do some work on my laptop from scratch, which involved me setting it back to factory defaults. While it was going through the motions of setting it back to factory defaults, a message came up and said it was unable to boot. I turned it off completely and when I turned it back on, it said boot manager device missing/opporating system missing. I was like huh? Thinking to myself, don't tell me that is what I think it means. I called hp, explained to them what I wrote above, they told me that I needed a windows 7 pro recovery cd, so I paid for it, they sent the cd, I ran it, supposedly it would've worked right? Well it didn't. My jaws, window eyes, NVDA, dam near every sound coming out of my comp was very choppy and could barely be understood. I tried navigating the best I could, opening up programs here and there to see what else was up with the comp after the install and by golly everything was taking 44 for evers to load. I ran the recovery cd again and after that everything was back to normal, screen readers working fine, nothing was taking 44 for evers to load but., in the CTRL panel, it told me I had three days to enter in a product key, which after running the recovery cd, wouldn't the key had been installed? I waited three days, to see what would happen, so after three days, it said I have 30 days to activate windows. Huh? So, I called hp, gave them the shpeel, they did some trouble shooting stuff with me and in the end, they said, since your laptop is out of worentee status, we cannot service your laptop without a fee of anywhere to 200-300 dollars. I told them, all I need is a key to activate windows, but sir, we do not have any of that information on file, but you can find that information on the bottom of your laptop, which I told them, no, the characters you are asking me to read off to you are warn out and not one person can make out what it is. Hp also instructed to me to call Microsoft and ask for a key seeing as windows seven is their product and they should be able to give you the key. Of course, I already knew what the answer was going to be before calling Microsoft, but what the hell, I called anyways. Low and behold, they told me what I thought. Sir, hp is responcible for providing you with a replacement key seeing as windows 7 pro came preinstalled on the laptop when it was purchased. I called hp back, told them the situation and did some more standard trouble shooting stuff and in the end, she stated, we cannot give you a key and you will need to purchase windows 7 pro again, wh

Hi All, I’m having trouble installing a program on my 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium machine and the error code has the people who are trying to help think it might be an administrative privilege issue. I’m administrator on my XP. Could someone please tell me how I can find out if I am on the Windows 7 computer? I’m running JAWS 12.

First off, I have an hp machine running windows seven pro 64 bit, which was a Christmas gift fror me last year. A few weekes ago, I was going to do some work on my laptop from scratch, which involved me setting it back to factory defaults. While it was going through the motions of setting it back to factory defaults, a message came up and said it was unable to boot. I turned it off completely and when I turned it back on, it said boot manager device missing/opporating system missing. I was like huh? Thinking to myself, don't tell me that is what I think it means. I called hp, explained to them what I wrote above, they told me that I needed a windows 7 pro recovery cd, so I paid for it, they sent the cd, I ran it, supposedly it would've worked right? Well it didn't. My jaws, window eyes, NVDA, dam near every sound coming out of my comp was very choppy and could barely be understood. I tried navigating the best I could, opening up programs here and there to see what else was up with the comp after the install and by golly everything was taking 44 for evers to load. I ran the recovery cd again and after that everything was back to normal, screen readers working fine, nothing was taking 44 for evers to load but., in the CTRL panel, it told me I had three days to enter in a product key, which after running the recovery cd, wouldn't the key had been installed? I waited three days, to see what would happen, so after three days, it said I have 30 days to activate windows. Huh? So, I called hp, gave them the shpeel, they did some trouble shooting stuff with me and in the end, they said, since your laptop is out of worentee status, we cannot service your laptop without a fee of anywhere to 200-300 dollars. I told them, all I need is a key to activate windows, but sir, we do not have any of that information on file, but you can find that information on the bottom of your laptop, which I told them, no, the characters you are asking me to read off to you are warn out and not one person can make out what it is. Hp also instructed to me to call Microsoft and ask for a key seeing as windows seven is their product and they should be able to give you the key. Of course, I already knew what the answer was going to be before calling Microsoft, but what the hell, I called anyways. Low and behold, they told me what I thought. Sir, hp is responcible for providing you with a replacement key seeing as windows 7 pro came preinstalled on the laptop when it was purchased. I called hp back, told them the situation and did some more standard trouble shooting stuff and in the end, she stated, we cannot give you a key and you will need to purchase windows 7 pro again, which we have a promotion for right now!

I called hp back, told them the situation and did some more standard trouble shooting stuff and in the end, she stated, we cannot give you a key and you will need to purchase windows 7 pro again, which we have a promotion for right now! So, seeing as I have no money to purchase win pro or to send it to hp for repair, what is a good way to get my windows 7 pro key? I ran bilark adviser and the majic jelly bean finder and they produced the same key, I entered it in and it gave me an error, pretty much invalid key. When I went into the bios to verify the s/n for my comp, it said, serial number: UID: and a bunch of zeros, so what is up with that? What does all the zeros mean and why after running the recovery cd, twice, the key did not get installed? Hp said, there could be something wrong with my mother board. If someone can help me figure out how to obtain my windows 7 pro key that would be great, besides paying for one because lol, I am broke. Thanks for listening.

Re: [Blind-Computing] windows 7 product key
Hello there; I think you need to go a little higher up the ladder. Apparently, your not getting the support/understanding from the customer support, so, go up the ladder to a higher position. Another thing is, Are you sure your typing in the correct key? -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kimsan Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 9:08 PM To: blind computing Subject: [Blind-Computing] windows 7 product key Hi, I have a long email to write and I hope someone can help. If it helps, get your beer, smoke or tea and activate the say all command and sit back and chill while I type this lol. First off, I have an hp machine running windows seven pro 64 bit, which was a Christmas gift fror me last year. A few weekes ago, I was going to do some work on my laptop from scratch, which involved me setting it back to factory defaults. While it was going through the motions of setting it back to factory defaults, a message came up and said it was unable to boot. I turned it off completely and when I turned it back on, it said boot manager device missing/opporating system missing. I was like huh? Thinking to myself, don't tell me that is what I think it means. I called hp, explained to them what I wrote above, they told me that I needed a windows 7 pro recovery cd, so I paid for it, they sent the cd, I ran it, supposedly it would've worked right? Well it didn't. My jaws, window eyes, NVDA, dam near every sound coming out of my comp was very choppy and could barely be understood. I tried navigating the best I could, opening up programs here and there to see what else was up with the comp after the install and by golly everything was taking 44 for evers to load. I ran the recovery cd again and after that everything was back to normal, screen readers working fine, nothing was taking 44 for evers to load but., in the CTRL panel, it told me I had three days to enter in a product key, which after running the recovery cd, wouldn't the key had been installed? I waited three days, to see what would happen, so after three days, it said I have 30 days to activate windows. Huh? So, I called hp, gave them the shpeel, they did some trouble shooting stuff with me and in the end, they said, since your laptop is out of worentee status, we cannot service your laptop without a fee of anywhere to 200-300 dollars. I told them, all I need is a key to activate windows, but sir, we do not have any of that information on file, but you can find that information on the bottom of your laptop, which I told them, no, the characters you are asking me to read off to you are warn out and not one person can make out what it is. Hp also instructed to me to call Microsoft and ask for a key seeing as windows seven is their product and they should be able to give you the key.

Re: [Blind-Computing] windows 7 product key
Firstly, you write what I consider to be a good email: it is funny (in a sad sort of way) it gives all the necessary facts. However, I really don't have a solution for you. It sounds like the restore disk was faulty, but that's probably just wishful thinking on my part. I'm pretty sure the window key is stored somewhere in the registry, but a) it's probably useless by this point, and b) I don't remember where the key is stored. Perhaps google could help.
