Re: [Blind-Computing] blackboard assessability
Jamie, I just completed a degree through Charter Oak State College and they use Blackboard. For the most part, BB is accessible. One area where I ran into problems is in the online exams. If an exam is timed, the constantly updating on-screen timer steals focus away from Jaws and makes taking the test using a screen reader impossible. The school is using an older version of BB (version 9 SP 7) and the software is up to version 9 SP 11. Many screen reader enhancements were made in SP 10. So, you will need to know which version of BB is being used in order to judge what your ultimate experience will be. In my case, I needed a sighted person to read/scribe the online tests. The untimed tests were fine. Also, navigating the discussion forums can be cumbersome. If you have any other questions, please ask. BTW, which school are you considering for your Masters?

Open up IE
Go to ToolsOptions
Go to the Programs Tab
Make sure the check box that says Tell me if IE is not my default browser
is checked.
Click OK to save the changes.
Close IE and restart it.
My guess is that IE is going to tell you that it is not the default browser.
Go ahead and make it the default.
That should solve your problem.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Are all Java updates safe to install?
This viewpoint might spark some controversy, but unless you are using applications which require the Java Runtime Environment, you are better off not having Java installed on your computer at all. This would minimize your exposure to potential flaws and subsequent exploits in the JRE. I have been running my systems without the JRE for about two years now, with no issues. If you try to use an app which requires the JRE, it will tell you and you can choose to install it at that time. I have also taken this approach with all of my clients computers and have had no negative feedback, yet. I did not come up with this approach by myself.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Buying a printer
Hi, I just bought my daughter the HP 1102w laser printer, as she just started college. It will work wirelessly, as well as with a USB cable, which is included. The printer is small, light and prints fast. Since it is a laser, it will be much more economical to operate than a comparable inkjet printer. To setup the printer on your computer, all you need do is power on the printer and connect the included USB cable between the printer and a Windows computer. The setup program will automatically load and walk you through the setup process. You can then configure the printer for use with wireless, USB or both. I have run the setup program several times, using both Jaws and NVDA and it worked well with both screen readers. One note of caution, if you want to use the printer wirelessly with a Mac, you will really need to do the printer setup using a Windows computer. This will save you many headaches trying to accomplish this task on a Mac. Once the wireless is setup using Windows, you place the setup CD into the Mac to load the driver software. Now, the Mac will recognize the wireless printer and work perfectly. So far (1 week) my daughter is very pleased with the printer.

Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2011 12:39 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Buying a printer Hi, I just bought my daughter the HP 1102w laser printer, as she just started college. It will work wirelessly, as well as with a USB cable, which is included. The printer is small, light and prints fast. Since it is a laser, it will be much more economical to operate than a comparable inkjet printer. To setup the printer on your computer, all you need do is power on the printer and connect the included USB cable between the printer and a Windows computer. The setup program will automatically load and walk you through the setup process. You can then configure the printer for use with wireless, USB or both. I have run the setup program several times, using both Jaws and NVDA and it worked well with both screen readers. One note of caution, if you want to use the printer wirelessly with a Mac, you will really need to do the printer setup using a Windows computer. This will save you many headaches trying to accomplish this task on a Mac. Once the wireless is setup using Windows, you place the setup CD into the Mac to load the driver software. Now, the Mac will recognize the wireless printer and work perfectly. So far (1 week) my daughter is very pleased with the printer.

Hi David, I have successfully used a free LogMeIn account to remotely connect to a computer running NVDA.

If you have Office 2003, then Outlook 2003 will be on the install CD. Just rerun the Office setup from the original CD and select Outlook. If you do not have the original install CD, you will have to purchase a replacement CD from Microsoft, assuming that the copy you currently are using is a valid licensed copy.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Jaws not reading in google, update
I must have too much time on my hands, because I try to keep a log of all of the changes that I make to my computer. This is a throwback to my old mainframe days. As I mentioned, this problem started occurring for me during March, 2010. I tried many things to resolve the problem, including updating from Jaws 9 to Jaws 10, with no success. On 9/1/2010, I removed Avast and installed MSE. According to my notes, I also installed the latest FS video intercept on that same day. I have not had the problem since then, but I don't know if it was the Avast removal or the new video intercept which fixed the problem. So my point, try installing the latest video intercept from FS and see what happens. I don't believe that it can hurt the situation.

Sadly, your fix of removing avast and updating the video intercept is not going to fix my problem since I don't have avast, and have the latest video intercept. -- Blue skies.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Jaws refusing to read in Google

Re: [Blind-Computing] realtime antivirus antispyware protection
Spyware Blaster does not run in the background. All it does is establish a list of prohibited websites in your browser. This prevents your browser from accessing these sites, thus protecting your computer from their malicious content. The only time Spyware Blaster is running, is when you run it to update the list of nasty sites.

That was great! However, I still have one question. Would you consider Spyware Blaster to be running real time? I do believe that it is always running in the background and there is no way to do a scan of any type. It is supposed to monitor spywares while you are on the Internet. What do you think? Thanks in advance for any enlightenments. Take care. Lennie At 12:19 AM 12/28/2010, you wrote: Mike, u wrote: Hi Jackie; I am going to take this topic back to one from earlier today.

In your professional opinion, if you were running both of these programs how would you run the 2? Meaning, would you run 1 in Real Time not the other or, run both in Real Time? Mike, much depends on what the 2 programs do. Let me give a bit of background, then perhaps, by way of that, address your question. In the not so very distant past, spyware viruses were pretty much distinct entities, the programs designed to protect the computer from each did quite different things. Antivirus programs tended to look for what's called file signatures, e.g., certain strings in files that were suggestive of a virus, while antispyware programs tended to monitor things like registry changes, where the browser was being taken to, etc. That's fairly oversimplified, but the crux was that 1 antivirus 1 antispyware program could generally run together in realtime w/o conflict. Malware has, unfortunately, become much more sophisticated. Viruses drop trojans which create a backdoor into your computer allow all kinds of information to be passed to some1, e.g., spyware. Thus, the distinction between viruses spyware-- other types of malware, for that matter--have blurred considerably over the past few years. The result is that antivirus programs have evolved to become antivirus/antispyware programs, trying to become, as it were, all protection for all malware, all things to all people, etc. The answer to your question is that it really depends on what the programs do. If the antivirus program confines itself to looking for file signatures, etc., while the antispyware program monitors registry changes browser redirects, then it's probably safe. If, on the other hand, the 2 programs monitor for similar things, then conflict can does result. The problem further arises when both try to quarantine something at the same time, obviously, it is for this reason that malware experts suggest running only 1 realtime security suite type program, e.g., antivirus/antispyware program, at any given time. What I personally do is to run my antivirus/antispyware program (Avast) in realtime. Then I scan w/Superantispyware or MalwareBytes weekly or so, just to get rid of tracking cookies other annoying nasties that may have popped up. BTW, 1 thing that can really help keep the bugs in check is to simply delete your temporary internet files often--lots lots of crap-ola gets in there. So what I personally would do would be to run Microsoft Security Essentials in realtime, let SAS be an on-demand scanner. I know some listers have run both w/o difficulty, but I can't help wondering what would happen if both try to quarantine the same threat--neither 1 might win your protection may well be compromised. I remember getting this as a first exercise of my malware removal training, this is pretty much how I answered it then, too, passed, so hopefully it'll suffice. I hope I've made myself sufficiently clear, invite further queries if I haven't. Blessings for a wonderful holiday season.

I use Avast with Outlook Express on XP pro sp3 and have no problems. There were no special settings with OE or Avast that were required. Did you try going into the Avast Internet Mail settings to see if there is something obvious that needs to be changed? You could also try removing Avast and then reinstalling it, just in case something got messed up during the install.

Re: [Blind-Computing] run time error message
If there is an IE add-on that is causing your problem, then starting IE without any add-ons will allow IE to run without the error. Then, you will need to determine which add-on is causing the crash. If IE still crashes when you start it with no add-ons, then you have another problem. You may want to do a system recovery back to a point where your system was working properly.

[Blind-Computing] Testing a .CMD Script
Hi All: I am currently working on a project which requires a .cmd script to determine if it is running on a 32-bit or 64-bit OS. I currently only have access to a 32-bit OS, but want to make sure that my script logic will work on a 64-bit OS. So, if there is someone out there whom is running 64-bit XP or Vista or Win 7 and would be willing to run a small .cmd file for me on your system, I would be very appreciative. The script is very small and will only display a message on-screen indicating if the system is 32 or 64-bit. Please contact me off-list, so I can send the file to you.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Image restore quandary
Hi Don, If someone could come up with a way That would allow a licensed user of Image for Linux to merge it into Vinux and make a bootable CD, that would be fantastic. I haven't played with Vinux since version 1.2, but I'll give it another look.

I have not had the guts to try a recovery using the Linux CD without entering a serial! Unfortunately, this makes it very hard to create a general Linux ISO that can be distributed that includes speech. Personally, I am planning to create a Vinux live DVD or bootable USB version of Vinux that has Image for Linux installed. This would provide full speech right at startup with a GUI, disk forensic tools, Open office, Firefox and more. Perhaps it would be possible to develop a Linux script (like a DOS batch file on steroids) to install Image for Linux onto Vinux. This would require that every user download the Vinux ISO image, burn it to disk, install it, run the script to create a new ISO, and then burn that ISO image to a disk. Installing Vinux on a second partition would be preferable, but many like me might install to a USB pen drive or just download the Virtual Edition. I hope this does not get too many people overly excited, because no one has made it easy to install Image for Linux yet.

I realize you cannot write back to the primary partition windows is currently operating from but what if you took a hard drive and hooked it up as another drive then select it as the destination for the image.
