Re: [Blind-Computing] Outlook Express Idenity
no sir, I deleted all of that when I got my laptop. I had not been using OE for almost 2 years now. The they is time warner cable, who checked the identity and added her identity, but still shows mine. So apparently just deleting my account from OE and using it on win/7 could that have any baring? Could it be a hidden kind of setting somewhere in OE or maybe in IE8? She works from home a lot, so in sending out an email work related, people are telling her, it's my email address they see not hers, is that not wild? I keep trying to encourage her to just use her LP which has win-7 on it instead. I guess this was one of those times needed to wipe the hard drive, but that is just something I've never done and I know my sister sure clueless. She can receive emails from anyone, but just when she sends, it's really me,lol. I cleaned that pc up as much as my knowledge would allow, I never dreamed something like this would be a problem. But it's probably some other identity issue since I owned it and had it all setup in my name, I need to give her the pink slip owners registration, tee hee. - Original Message - From: David Ferrin ow...@jaws-users.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 11:58 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Outlook Express Idenity My first questions are always who are they and what did they do exactly?

[Blind-Computing] Jaws Version for Win/7
I also need to know what version of Jaws works for window's 7 home preium? This isn't for me, but for the sister who like I said, has win 7, she said her jaws is running staticy and I think she said she has version 11, which I said probably was the problem, but wanted to make sure I was telling her right.

Hi Trish, I have found that version 11 works marginally, so 12 or higher should perform much better. I'm not quite sure what you are asking in regards to the 32 64-bit question, but it will have to match the operating system. Jaws won't install otherwise.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Outlook Express Idenity
so ok then, where do you go and delete all info? I went to tools/accounts and removed my info from OE, is it showing somewhere else? I had only one email account for that pc. Hmmm, wonder if the service tecks when they upgraded my cable and internet and phone could have done something somewhere? I used only IE but for browsing not for emails. Their modem has been returned. So shouldn't the desktop be free of any of their settings, I did not install any of their proprietary software ever. In fact, if I forgot and accidently opened OE on the desktop, it always popped up to install an account. I didn't remove the OE software since knowing she wanted to use it for her email client, just like I said, I removed the email account. - Original Message - From: Rick Justice ricjust...@jaws-users.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 2:53 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Outlook Express Idenity Hi Trish, Can't say for sure, since I don't know exactly what was done, but it sounds to me like everything was not completely removed.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Jaws Version for Win/7
I guess I didn't explain that very well. Seems like somewhere back there, if you had a certain amount of memory it was considered to be 32 bit, if you had more it was 64 bit.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Jaws Version for Win/7
Hi Trish, To find out if the computer is 32 or 64 bit try the following: 1. Press the keystroke, windows key + pause key, to open system Information. 2. Route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor, Insert + Jaws key / numpad minus key. Press the page up key to take the cursor to the top of the page. 3. Arrow down 1 line at a time to get information about your computer. You will come across a line that says, System Information, this is where it will tell you if it's a 32 or 64 bit computer. Also, you need to run the latest version of Jaws12, according to FS tech support, for Jaws to operate correctly. Jaws standard version will work on Windows7 Home Premium, you do not need the Jaws Pro version. HTH Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] resistance cable
Why not just use a regular 3.5mm male to male patch cord? You put the one end in the headphone jack of the cd player and the other in the microphone jack of the computer. Of course, it would be easier to just put the cd into the computer and get the files that way, or even to buy an external cd rom drive so that you can plug it in and do the same. But for direct audio transfer, I think a patch cord will work nicely.

Re: [Blind-Computing] resistance cable
these are casette tapes and I do remember in the past that you needed a resistance cable because the output is amplified as opposed to a preamp output. I will be taking it from an old portable tape player -Original Message- From: Eleni Vamvakari Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 6:34 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] resistance cable Why not just use a regular 3.5mm male to male patch cord? You put the one end in the headphone jack of the cd player and the other in the microphone jack of the computer. Of course, it would be easier to just put the cd into the computer and get the files that way, or even to buy an external cd rom drive so that you can plug it in and do the same. But for direct audio transfer, I think a patch cord will work nicely.

Re: [Blind-Computing] resistance cable
It is best to hook in to the jacks on the back of the unit as they are not amplified for better sound quality. You go to an electronics store and tell them you need a cable one end will plug in to a computer sound card and the other in to a stereo tape deck.

What you want is known as an atenuated patch cord.

Re: [Blind-Computing] resistance cable
I just called and they are $14.95. will pick one up next week. I think that I can start the recording then later use gold wave to break the files. -Original Message- From: Bob J.
