Hi How is the best way to find a full path on a directory or a file in Windows Explorer? Sometimes I have used property, but when the path is very long, I can not see the full path with JAWS.

[Blind-Computing] Help with betatesting of JavaRa regarding accessibility for screen readers
Hi everyone In connection with I have used a programme called JavaRa when I will made a completely clean up after I hae uninstalled the Java Runtime Environment from Oracle, I have written with the developer Shane Gowland about the accessibility in the programme for screen readers. At the time, Shane working on a new version of JavaRa there should remove more things after the Java Runtime Environment automatically, and add some new features to JavaRa. Therefore Shane is very interested to hear from people there using screen readers regarding the accessibility on the new version of JavaRa, what could be better? You can see more about JavaRa here: http://singularlabs.com/software/javara/javara-download/ . The new version is JavaRa version 2.0 Beta, and it is this version where Shane is interested to hear from persons there using screen readers. If you have comment about the accessibility, please send these directly to Shane on the e-mail-address sh...@singularlabs.com. Very thanks in advance for the help.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Is Solona closed
Hi again Although you write that Webvisum is alive, and works with the latest version of Firefox. As I wrote earlier, I can well fear the day the servers behind the project is not being maintained, thereby Webvisum also shall suffer death. What can we so do if we will have help to solve a captcha? Since the people behind Webvisum seems to have disappeared, it seems a bit like that they will let the project suffer death when servers once will not work anymore. I tried to write to them about the problem with their mailing list before Christmas 2011, but got only an automated message back from my internet provider stating that their server was not working. Unfortunately it is a bit annoying. Webvisum still works fine, but I want to be assured that such a good project still being maintained.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Is Solona closed
Hi again Very thanks for your answer. I am really sorry to hear that Solona is closed. Is it long time ago and do you have a idea why Solona no longer exist? Regarding Webvisum, I can note that their mailing list does not work, as you not can contact them via the form on the website. Therefore, I fear the day when Webvisum also closes because there is someone who can maintain the servers behind the website. Has any person tried to found the people behind Webvisum via other medias (e.g. Facebook)? Very thanks. Regards, Anders ---Gerald Levy wrote--- Unfortunately, Solona is no more.

[Blind-Computing] Tips for installing Windows without sighted assistance
Hi, Have anyone tips to how I can install Windows on a computer without sighted assistance? Earlier I have used the Windows XP Unattended Setup Kit from http://www.jfwlite.com/WinXPUnattendedSetupKit.zip , and it working fine for me. But now I have two partitions on my computer. I have one partition where I will install Windows XP (C:), and another where I will install Windows 7 64-bit (D:), so I could dual-boot between the operating systems. I think that I can modify the Windows XP Unattended Setup Kit, so the installation of Windows XP will make two equal partitions, but I am not sure how I do this. My hard drive is on 750 GB. Later I think that I will install Windows 7 64-bit on the D-partition, but here I have not a idea to how I can make a Unattended Setup Kit for Windows 7 64-bit. I also think about to run Windows XP on a virtuel computer, but I have no experience to how I do this.

Image for Windows does work very well, and Jaws or any screen-reader is not necessary for the recovery process.

Re: [Blind-Computing] System Backups
Hi Don, 1. Do you have a link to the accessible backup-service (Carbonite)? 2.

Regards, Anders - Oprindelig meddelelse - Fra: Don Marang donald.mar...@gmail.com Til: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sendt: 28. juli 2011 23:19 Emne: Re: [Blind-Computing] System Backups Actually, cloud backup services like Carbonite only back up your data. They do not backup your system or applications. I suppose it is possible to force it to back up everything on the disk, but it is not really designed for that. You even need to tell it to backup large files, like Videos, by including those folders and telling it to backup that file type. Yes, as far as I can tell, Carbonite is 100% accessible using JAWS. DropBox as previously stated, is a great way to backup critical data for free for up to 2 GB. I also use Karen's Backup to automatically make copies of critical folders to other computers in the house. To occasionally. backup all of my system files, applications, settings, and data I use a disk image tool. There are probably a few that work, but I use Image for Windows. If you need or want a fast way to recover from a hard disk crash or other major problem, a disk image is the way to go. Unfortunately, this is not automatic and should be done before major changes to your system and after installing and configuring new software, in order to have an disk image of a stable system. One reason I like Image for Windows is that it can run in the background while you continue to work. *Don Marang* Vinux Software Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org http://www.vinuxproject.org/ There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter. -- Dean Kamen On 7/28/2011 3:16 PM, Stephan, William S NWK wrote: All: Anybody have experience/suggestions for a system backup service, e.g. Carbonite that works with screen readers like JAWS?
