[Blind-Computing] Monitor is on, but no picture
Dear David, Well, a slight light comes on the monitor screen after I boot up the computer, but it is not enough to recognize anything. When I hold the JAWS key and the number 5 on the number row, it does tell me what colors have printed on doc files and such. To be honest, I really do not know where I can take it to test the monitor. I thought perhaps something got messed up in my Display Settings, and although I am not that familiar with all which is in that, as I tab through, I saw nothing I thought was not correct or needed changing. Thanks so much David.

Re: [Blind-Computing] need recomendation for a good pc sharing program
Hello Melissa, Depending on the files that you want to copy there should be no problem copying the files from one windows computer to another. If the files are of a specific kind of file, Microsoft word 2007 or Excel 2007 and you are copying them to a computer that only has Microsoft word 2003, you might have to download an update to allow the older version of word to read the newer version, but other than version issues there should be no problem copying from one computer to another. You can just copy the files to a USB drive and transfer the files that way or if this will be a routine procedure it might be worth getting a router HTH, - Original Message - From: Melissa Tucker melissatuck...@att.net To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 7:33 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] need recomendation for a good pc sharing program I'm running windows and would like to move or copy files from one to another. any suggestions on a program running windows xp. both computers running windows pc.

[Blind-Computing] NVDA's Version of Jaws Cursor
Hi Folks, Does anyone know if NVDA has a version of the Jaws cursor, and if so, how does one go about using it?

Re: [Blind-Computing] NVDA's Version of Jaws Cursor
To my knowledge, NVDA has no equivalent to the JAWS cursor. But you can access hidden objects with a series of NVDA commands. To learn more about object navigation in NVDA, refer to sections 6.4 and 6.5 of the NVDA User Guide, the link for which can be found on the NVDA Help menu. Or perhaps you should consider joining the NVDA Support list whose members may be more knowledgeable about this subject than I am.

Re: [Blind-Computing] NVDA's Version of Jaws Cursor
Like other person said, you can use object navigation to move around object hierarchy, using things like NVDA key and some numpad keys, or if you use the physical mouse, it will more often report objects/items under the real mouse cursor than jaws would as such.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Links are not working in Outlook Express again, can someone please help?
Hello Rose, no I don't have outlook express set to plain text. Not sure why it happened, in fact I noticed the change after I tried to install Google Chrome. I have, however re-installed IE 8 and all seems to be working now. - Original Message - From: Rosemarie Chavarria knitqueen2...@verizon.net To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2012 1:18 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Links are not working in Outlook Express again, can someone please help?

Hi, Steve, I didn't install google chrome because I heard it didn't work well with screen readers. I'm glad you reinstalled IE 8 and that everything is working fine again.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Win 8 OS and Grade 3 braille
Hi, Maria, Hadley no longer teaches grade 3 braille. I think you can still get a book from American Printing House for the Blind. I have it and it's qquite good. I also have the Key to Grade 3 which is also very good.
