Re: [Blind-Computing] Flash update
Unfortunately, that's pretty common installing flash. Try going to www.updateflash.org and it will tell you if the latest version is installed. If not, get the installer and try it that way.

Re: [Blind-Computing] in my system tray!
Now that you found the msconfig, alt tab until you hear start-up. arrow down to the program you want to remove and uncheck the box. note: be careful not to uncheck any windows components or things you're not familiar with, because you can remove important files that makes your pc run. After you've unchecked the program you want to remove, tab down and hit ok. It will then ask you to reboot.

Re: [Blind-Computing] adobie flash player 10.1
10.2 is the updated version. Flash can be a pain to install at times, but sounds like you did all you were suppose to. Often times, it is recommended to remove the older version before installing the newer, but if you're no longer getting the message, you ought to be okay.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Can't select text by word with Logitech keyboard
Hello There, sounds like you're forgetting the control key. Try moving cursor to beginning of word, hold the control key as well as the shift and right arrow key. BTW: I have the same keyboard, but higher level for media and games and all works ok as far as selecting text. HTH!

Re: [Blind-Computing] my music isn't showing up in my doccuments;
just a thought..., but check to see if possibly sent to recycle bin. Also, try accessing my documents via the desktop if you haven't already tried and see if my Music shows up there. Alternatively, you can check start menu and task bar via control panel. Check to make sure show My Music in start menu appears that way as another option. HTH!
