Re: [Blind-Computing] Problem in gold wave
I am using goldwave version 5.58 and jaws 13.0 on an xp computer, so our versions are quite different. I tried going to 5.68 and got the same results you reported. When I went back to 5.58 things worked fine. Hope this helps.

Re: [Blind-Computing] How to find internet explorer information bar
Hi Marilyn, I would have sworn there's a keystroke to get to the information bar, but I looked through the jaws help but came up with nothing. You may have to turn your jaws cursor on with the minus key. Then do a ctrl home to get to the top of the page and start arrowing down passed the page title, menus, until you hear something about information bar, or activex. Press your right mouse key (slash key on your calculator keyboard). This should give you some options to deal with the activex problem. If you don't find the information bar/activex stuff I talked about earlier, press your pc cursor key, then turn your virtual cursor mode off with insert+z and then try the steps in the above paragraph again. Before resuming, don't forget to turn virtual cursor mode back on with insert+z. Hope this helps..

Re: [Blind-Computing] stopping the grawv key from saying grawv.
Hi Carlos. When I first saw your message I thought well, that should be simple. But, it isn't simple. Maybe I'm just making it too complex. While playing around I discovered that a key that is passedThrough (insert f3) is not spoken, but you get this long, message before pressing the key. So, you could press insert f3, listen to the message, then press the ` key, and hear the time. Not satisfactory? I don't blame you. So if I were doing this I would: Write a one line script that said script PassKeyThroughQuietly() PassKeyThrough() EndScript Put this script at the bottom of my default script. Then I would tie the PassKeyThroughQuietly to the ` key in the keyboard manager. But maybe someone else will have a better way to do this. I don't!

Re: [Blind-Computing] stopping the grawv key from saying grawv.
Hi David. I tried your suggestion of putting the ` key in with replacement text of a space character in the dictionary manager. You are right that when the ` key is encountered within some kind of text nothing is spoken, but, when you press the ` key jaws says space. Therefore, this solution won't work for Carlos.

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.

From: David Ferrin Daily Tip: Disk Cleanup Defragmenting your computer periodically can greatly enhance the computer's performance. While helpful, all defragmenting does is tidy up what is on your computer; to get rid of unnecessary files such as temporary Internet files and whatever is in your Recycling Bin, run Disk Cleanup as well. Think of it this way: Defragmenting sweeps the floor and Disk Cleanup takes out the trash. Click Start, Control Panel, Performance And Maintenance (in Category view), and Free Up Space On Your Hard Disk. The Disk Cleanup will run automatically. Once the analysis is complete, simply follow the prompts. David Ferrin Take care.

Your problem might be that the favorite is being stored under another user: for example, all users instead of whatever you log on as. I've seen this happen, but it's been a long time ago.

[Blind-Computing] Fw: Windows Zip File Utility
Please excuse my redundancy, and, David, please excuse my plagiarism. I just thought your message about the zip/unzip utilities in windows was definitely a keeper and wanted to give it a meaningful subject line. Great write up. Thanks. Bob - Original Message - From: David To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 5:50 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] DODGE CITY DESPIRADOS GAME, SOME SUGGESTIONS Hello there; you may find the following helpful. Windows Zip File Utility One feature that is built into Windows XP and above, which is not built into past versions of windows, is the Windows Zip File Utility. This utility can be used to decompress (unzip) .zip files. What is a .zip file? A .zip file is like a suitcase that contains one or more files. The file or files are compressed so that the total size is smaller than they would be normally. With the Windows Zip File Utility you can do two main things: 1. Extract Files; Windows will take the files contained within a .zip file and put them in any folder located on your hard drive. 2. Compress files; Windows will take a file or group of files that you select, and compress them into a single file. How to for Windows Zip File Utility With the Windows Zip File Utility you can do the following: Extract some of the files within a .zip file, Extract all files within a .zip file, Create a .zip file Extract some files from a .zip file. To extract some of the files but not all of them, do the following: 1. Find the .zip file on your computer. 2. Once you are on the .zip file, either press the enter-key, or you can press the applications-key, arrow down to explore and press enter. 3. This will bring up a separate window with the files listed that are contained within the .zip file. 4. Select just the files that you are wanting to extract. To do this, first place yourself on the first file in the list that you want to extract. Then while holding down the control key, arrow down through the files and press the spacebar on the files you want to select. 5. Press alt+E for the edit menu, arrow down to copy to folder, and press enter. 6. This will bring up a copy to folder dialog box. You will be put on a copy button. 7. Tab two times and you should hear, Select the place where you want to copy these items. 8. You are in a tree view of your computer, arrow down one time and you should hear, My computer open. 9. Now you can arrow up or down and select the folder that you want these files to be extracted to. If you arrow up one time from my computer, you will be on My Documents. If you arrow down from my computer two times, then you will be on your local C Drive. Remember, if it says closed, just right arrow to open that folder. 10. If you would like to make a new folder to extract these files in so they will be easy to find, then just place yourself on the folder where you want to put your new folder. For example, let's say you want to make a new folder that will be in My Documents. From My Computer, arrow up one time to My Documents. Tab one time to the make a folder button and hit the space bar. This will automatically make a new folder and put you on that folder within MY Documents. Just type in what you want to call this folder and hit enter. 11. Now that you are on the folder that you want your files to be extracted to, just tab to the copy button and press the spacebar. 12. You're done! The files have been extracted to the place you wanted. Extract all files within a .zip file To extract all of the files within a .zip file to a specified folder, do the following: 1. Find the .zip file on your computer. 2. Once you are on the .zip file, press the applications key for the context menu. 3. Arrow down to, extract all ... , and hit enter. 4. This will bring up the extraction wizard that will help you extract the files. On the first screen, just hit the spacebar on the next button. 5. You will be placed in an edit box where you can manually enter the directory where you want the files extracted. The default directory already entered for you is a folder by the name of the .zip file, which will be created within the same directory where the actual .zip file is located. For example, let's say that your .zip file is called test.zip and it is located in My Documents. The default directory will be in a folder called test, which will be located in My Documents. If you want to choose your own directory, then tab one time to the browse button and press the spacebar. 6. After you know where the files will be extracted, tab to the next button and press the spacebar. 7. The extraction process will start. Once done, just tab to the finish button and press the spacebar. 8. Your files have been successfully extracted to the directory you wanted! Create a .zip file If you are wanting to take a file or files and put them into a .zip file, then do the following: 1. Locate and select all of the files you are wanting to put into the .zip

Yet, something is still scanning my system regularly and there are links indicating changing the scan schedule, full or quick scan and so on.

My research indicates that it has been replaced by something called Windows Defender. Is this right? Does anyone know anything about this program?

Re: [Blind-Computing] no sound at startup on windows xp
Hi Mitch. I hope you can read this message. Hopefully your volume has gotten turned down or muted. Otherwise, the update may have done something to your sound card. To see if your volume has gotten turned down do the following (you'll have to do this without speech, so be extra careful). 1. Press windowsKey+r to invoke the run dialog. 2. Type sndvol32 which brings up the volume control. 3. Hit tab once to get passed the balance control. 4. Hit your home key and see if that gives you sound. 5. If it doesn't, hit the end key to see if that does. For some reason I've had both keys work on different computers. 6. Hit alt+f4 to close out the volume control. If you can get sighted assistance, run steps 1 and 2 above and see if they can see anything wrong (check the wave volume as that may also be turned down). Hope this helps.

If it helps, get your beer, smoke or tea and activate the say all command and sit back and chill while I type this lol. First off, I have an hp machine running windows seven pro 64 bit, which was a Christmas gift fror me last year. A few weekes ago, I was going to do some work on my laptop from scratch, which involved me setting it back to factory defaults. While it was going through the motions of setting it back to factory defaults, a message came up and said it was unable to boot. I turned it off completely and when I turned it back on, it said boot manager device missing/opporating system missing. I was like huh? Thinking to myself, don't tell me that is what I think it means. I called hp, explained to them what I wrote above, they told me that I needed a windows 7 pro recovery cd, so I paid for it, they sent the cd, I ran it, supposedly it would've worked right? Well it didn't. My jaws, window eyes, NVDA, dam near every sound coming out of my comp was very choppy and could barely be understood. I tried navigating the best I could, opening up programs here and there to see what else was up with the comp after the install and by golly everything was taking 44 for evers to load. I ran the recovery cd again and after that everything was back to normal, screen readers working fine, nothing was taking 44 for evers to load but., in the CTRL panel, it told me I had three days to enter in a product key, which after running the recovery cd, wouldn't the key had been installed? I waited three days, to see what would happen, so after three days, it said I have 30 days to activate windows. Huh? So, I called hp, gave them the shpeel, they did some trouble shooting stuff with me and in the end, they said, since your laptop is out of worentee status, we cannot service your laptop without a fee of anywhere to 200-300 dollars. I told them, all I need is a key to activate windows, but sir, we do not have any of that information on file, but you can find that information on the bottom of your laptop, which I told them, no, the characters you are asking me to read off to you are warn out and not one person can make out what it is. Hp also instructed to me to call Microsoft and ask for a key seeing as windows seven is their product and they should be able to give you the key. Of course, I already knew what the answer was going to be before calling Microsoft, but what the hell, I called anyways. Low and behold, they told me what I thought. Sir, hp is responcible for providing you with a replacement key seeing as windows 7 pro came preinstalled on the laptop when it was purchased. I called hp back, told them the situation and did some more standard trouble shooting stuff and in the end, she stated, we cannot give you a key and you will need to purchase windows 7 pro again, which we have a promotion for right now! So, seeing as I have no money to purchase win pro or to send it to hp for repair, what is a good way to get my windows 7 pro key? I ran bilark adviser and the majic jelly bean finder and they produced the same key, I entered it in and it gave me an error, pretty much invalid key. When I went into the bios to verify the s/n for my comp, it said, serial number: UID: and a bunch of zeros, so what is up with that? What does all the zeros mean and why after running the recovery cd, twice, the key did not get installed? Hp said, there could be something wrong with my mother board. If someone can help me figure out how to obtain my windows 7 pro key that would be great, besides paying for one because lol, I am broke. Thanks for listening.

Hp also instructed to me to call Microsoft and ask for a key seeing as windows seven is their product and they should be able to give you the key. Of course, I already knew what the answer was going to be before calling Microsoft, but what the hell, I called anyways. Low and behold, they told me what I thought. Sir, hp is responcible for providing you with a replacement key seeing as windows 7 pro came preinstalled on the laptop when it was purchased. I called hp back, told them the situation and did some more standard trouble shooting stuff and in the end, she stated, we cannot give you a key and you will need to purchase windows 7 pro again, which we have a promotion for right now! So, seeing as I have no money to purchase win pro or to send it to hp for repair, what is a good way to get my windows 7 pro key? I ran bilark adviser and the majic jelly bean finder and they produced the same key, I entered it in and it gave me an error, pretty much invalid key. When I went into the bios to verify the s/n for my comp, it said, serial number: UID: and a bunch of zeros, so what is up with that? What does all the zeros mean and why after running the recovery cd, twice, the key did not get installed? Hp said, there could be something wrong with my mother board. If someone can help me figure out how to obtain my windows 7 pro key that would be great, besides paying for one because lol, I am broke. Thanks for listening.

Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS cursor question
That's actually a good question. I'll try to respond. When you press either the keypad plus key (pc cursor) or the keypad minus key (jaws cursor key) the system simply activates either the jaws or pc cursor. In other words, nothing moves. When you press the jaws key plus the minus it activates the jaws cursor and moves it to the pc cursor. So, the jaws cursor moves to the pc cursor. Hope this helps.
