[Blind-Computing] Free avast update with jaws?
Listers, I updated from avast6 free version to avast7 free version, and it appears that jaws doesn't work with avast7 free version. please let me know if I'm right about this? I don't know, maybe free avast version6 is the last free version that will work with Jaws. If that's the case, maybe I'll go back to version6. I'm also open for ideas. Thanks to all.

I just purchased a 64 bit laptop which has Windows Seven. I am not able to go online with this machine but have no problem doing so with my 32 bit desktop machine. Could it be the router? The routher I am currently using is set up for hard-wired and wireless connections but prior to this, I have only used the wireless connection with a Mac. I should also say that I've had this Net-gear router for several years; long before 64 bit machines came out. Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.

[Blind-Computing] Programs In Windows 8
For those interested in Windows 8, Keep in mind that this is the Consumer Preview, but I have tried the following programs, which seem to work just fine, considering that the latest build of Jaws is not designed for Windows 8. ClassicShell3.50 Replaces the Metro UI with the classic Windows UI. CleanUp451 Clean up utility written for XP, but also works in Windows 7. LockNote For creating password protected text files No surprise that this works, it doesn't take an install. replicator3.6.8. Karen's replicator, for backing up files, which was written for pre-Windows 7, but works anyway. I have a utility to remove the Metro UI from Windows 8 and replace it with the Windows 7 UI, but haven't been able to get it to work so far. The above listed programs with the exception of the program to disable the Metro UI, can be found on the directory page at: www.blind-computing.com HTH, Rick Justice For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[Blind-Computing] Bookshare-related questions
Hi listers, I may ultimately have to go to Bookshare with this one, but thought I would try on the list first. I’m basically wondering how to best read Daisy TTS books.Since the Victor software is no longer being developed and since I don’t really like the one TTS voice I have, I’m not sure whether it is better to add the other voices or to try to use the Amis player. I have actually downloaded the Amis player to experiment and find that it does not seem to recognize Daisy books with the newer .bks extension, though it found the titles I saved with the older unpack tool. Hope this makes sense. Would appreciate any help on sorting this out. Susan For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] reinstating windows clipboard
David, I had basically tried your suggestion without result. I finally resorted to a system restore and the regular clipboard is now back. By the way, a Google search on this topic proved very frustrating since all the posts I found showed how to get to the office clipboard even when it was implied that the intent was to reverse the process. Ah, the mysteries of these beasties, smile.

[Blind-Computing] Google Drive
Hi All, I am trying Google Drive as a on line storage for some of my files. If I have the program installed on my computer. I have no trouble seeing my files on another computer. I am trying to access my files through the web. Does anyone know how to use Google Drive on the web to see your files? Google Drive is similar to Drop Box, except you receive 5 gig of storage with Google Drive. Thanks in advance! Steve and Shannon Cook Today I married my best friend.

Re: [Blind-Computing] IE 8 or IE 9?
Hi Nam, I have found that on some websites with drop down menus that I need to use the JAWS cursor in IE 8 to access the menu. Now then, when I installed IE 9 the drop down menu could not be found with the JAWS cursor. Other than that IE 9 works wonderful with JAWS 13. God bless, Mark God Loves you!
