Re: [Blind-Computing] having trouble changing my home page in Web IE 4
Where did you get this Webie? -Original Message- From: Rosemarie Chavarria Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2013 6:19 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] having trouble changing my home page in Web IE 4 Hi, everyone, I just downloaded the newest version of web IE but now I can’t change my home page to the one I really want. I went into the options menu and arrowed down to “set home page” as soon as I went to startpage.com which is the site I want. Web IE went to it at first but when I went out of it and then went back into it, it went to the web IE home page instead. What could I be doing wrong? I really like this new browser and want to use it but I want to be able to select my own home page. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks very much for your help in advance.

[Blind-Computing] Removing Java From XP Computer?
I have the latest version of Java, version 10, installed on my XP Pro computer, but there has been a lot of buzz lately that it is still highly vulnerable to malicious attacks and therefore should be disabled or removed. So I'm wondering: is Java really necessary at all? Is it safe to completely remove it? Or should I keep it and just disable it on the Manage Add-Ons dialog of the Options submenu of the IE 8 Tools menu? According to some tech experts, disabling Java this way may not completely disable it and may still leave your computer vulnerable unless you perform some additional registry tweaks, which I don't feel comfortable doing. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

This sounds like it might be a video problem, in which case re-installation probably won't help.

Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws not working properly
Here's what jaws13 help says about video intercept. Sounds like a call to freedom scientific might be in order. Video Intercept Manager The JAWS Video Intercept Manager detects problems related to video that may prevent JAWS from functioning properly. The JAWS Video Intercept Manager provides information on your video hardware and software that can help Freedom Scientific Technical Support Engineers determine the cause of failure to properly install JAWS Video Intercept. Note: Troubleshooting and resolving situations that cause JAWS Video Intercept often involves uninstalling and reinstalling software applications and/or device drivers. We recommend only experienced computer users attempt to resolve Video Intercept problems without assistance from Freedom Scientific Technical Support. Common causes of Video Intercept failures are listed below. Incompatible Software If incompatible software is installed on your system before you install JAWS, the Video Intercept will fail to install. JAWS attempts to identify the software causing this problem. If the software is identified, you can attempt to uninstall the software, and install JAWS Video Intercept. Once JAWS is functioning correctly, you should be able to reinstall the software without causing any conflicts. Other Assistive Technology Software In some cases, if other assistive technology software is installed on your system before you install JAWS, the Video Intercept will fail to install. JAWS attempts to identify the software causing this problem. If the software is identified, you can attempt to uninstall the software, and install JAWS Video Intercept. Once JAWS is functioning correctly, you should be able to reinstall the software without causing any conflicts. Incorrect Display Drivers If incorrect display drivers are installed on your system, JAWS Video Intercept will fail to install. You may need to contact the manufacturer of your display adapter hardware for assistance installing the correct display drivers. After the correct display drivers are installed, JAWS Video Intercept should install without problems.
