Re: [Blind-Computing] Jaws 14 Windows 8 and other software
Hi. Jaws 14 and office 2010 or 2013. I run office 2010 and once I got used to it I started to like it, ribbons and all. I haven't used office 2013 yet. I don't use dragon so can't recommend a version. -Original Message- From: Blind-Computing [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Niamh Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2013 7:17 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] Jaws 14 Windows 8 and other software I have met somebody who has just bought Jaws 14, has a very powerful desktop and wants to run: Dragon and Microsoft office.

[Blind-Computing] No success with changing my homepage, what do I do?
Hello friends, No matter what I do I can't set my homepage in Internet Explorer back to Google. After upgrading my laptop to Win7 64bit the shop installed AVG 2013 and ever since the homepage was set to AVG security search. I went into Internet option and tried to fix it from there with no luck. What I need to do or what I am not doing? I tried uninstalling AVG but this AVG search would not uninstall. Please help.
