[Blind-Computing] Pictures not found when forwarding in WLM
Often when I go to forward email containing images in WLM 2011 it will say the pictures in the email could not be found and do I want to send it anyway. Since I am forwarding to sighted friends and family I say no. Why aren’t the pictures being found? I have gone through all the settings I am aware of and can’t find where to choose to have images downloaded. Even though I can’t see them I hate it when people forward email without the pictures as Jaws keeps reading the words similar to Pictures deleted by sender. And it does this for each picture that is not there. So how can I set WLM 2011 so that the pictures are there and can be forwarded?

[Blind-Computing] Bluetooth query
Greetings I wonder if anyone can recommend a Bluetooth adapter for my HP work station that would transmit Jaws and Skype voice calls through my Bluetooth headset? I can achieve this on my laptop with built-in Bluetooth and would like the same for my work station if possible.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Mirror Driver Issue when Installing JAWS
Hello. Have you tried completely uninstalling Jaws from your computer, and then re-installing it? If you haven't done that, you may want to try it. Note: When uninstalling jaws, it will ask you if you want to remove shared components at some point. If you are not using any other freedom scientific products, then try removing the shared components as well. Let me know if this works. Josh - Original Message - From: Mark Torgerson Subject: [Blind-Computing] Mirror Driver Issue when Installing JAWS Hi On the work computer, I am having a problem when installing JAWS. JAWS insists that the mirror driver is not properly installed and that I need to reboot the computer, or run the repair on JAWS. I have done both, and still get the same message. What should I do next? I am running the latist version of JAWS on a Windows 7 machine. Thank you in advance.

[Blind-Computing] Installing updates
this is done by selecting the "alert me to updates..." option, then when you open windows update you can tab across to a set of links, one is for priority updates, the other is for optional updates, if you enter on one of these links you will get a checklist of the update files available to you.

Before installing, I go to control panel to latest updates but I can't find what updates I am installing. I would like to see the updates so I know if I want to install or not.

hi, what lists are you speaking of, a few have either changed names and/or been canceled by the list owner take care, inthane -Original Message- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B.

For important updates, tab to the Important updates link & open it to see what's available. In optional updates you have to check the updates you want installed whereas in important updates, they are all checked & you need to uncheck the ones you don't want to install. I'm writing this from memory, boy are you in trouble LOL LOL, because I don't have any new updates at the moment. Also, there is an installed updates option that you can click on to see what updates have been installed. Gerry, you might want to email the owner of the lists' you're having problems with & make sure you're still subscribed or to see if there are problems with others using the same internet provider as yourself. Hope this helped. Take care.

[Blind-Computing] Floating Calendars on Webpages
Hello, I would like to seek assistance in solving this accessibility issue I am facing on a regular basis. Using JAWS 13 on a Windows XP machine with Internet Explorer as my browser. There are some pages that require me to choose a start date and end date from a calendar on some webpages. These calendars are not particularly accessible as they are floating calendars, they are invoked by hovering the mouse over a calendar icon on the page. The user then clicks on the date post which the entry is recorded in a edit box which otherwise is not editable. I have attempted several ways to resolve this situation but failed and ended up asking a sighted person to choose the date for me from this monsterous calendar. It has also come to my attention that the calendar allows you to change the month and year from a combo box, again mouse driven totally! I can't get to the combo box by using the quick navigation key C nor can I get to the calendar using the JAWS cursor. The page in question is on an internal tool designed by Oracle corp. for our company. Therefore I can't even share the URL with you all. But if anyone of you have faced this kind of calendar at work or in any other situation on a webpage, can you please share your experience in tackling it? The best thing to do according to me is use sighted assistance or write to Oracle Corp. about it, may not yield immediate results but it's worth the try. The piece of work assigned to me highly depends on this function and this is the only factor that keeps me away from accomplishing it independently. Any thoughts or insights would be highly appreciated. Sincerely, Mujtaba Merchant Bangalore, India Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. ~Jim Ryu For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
