Re: [Blind-Computing] Defragging and Maintenance for Win/7

2013-04-15 Thread Joshua Klander
Hello.  If I remember correctly, the defrag option should be 
under maintenance in the control panel.  You can also access it 
by going to start, all programs, accessories, system tools, and 
then selecting disk defragmenter. As for whether or not you 
leave your laptop turned on, that is a personal choice.  If you 
leave it on, it will automatically defrag at whatever time you 
have set.  But leaving it on obviously consumes power, either 
from the battery or the ac adapter.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Defragging and Maintenance for Win/7

Hello,

Where do I find the Defrag for window's 7? I did search and 
thought I found

it but it vanished..

I tried going through control panel, found the maintenance button 
almost
entered on it, but didn't want to get somewhere that I could do 
more harm

than good.

So, do I envoke this maintenace button or not? Also, when I found 
the
defrag, it said it was set to defrag at 2/a.m.  each morning, 
well now...I am
in the habit of shutting down my laptop each night, so should I 
leave it on

so it can do this defragging?

Thanks for help,

Trish

Re: [Blind-Computing] Locked out of Windows and can't get in, any helpers please?

2013-01-19 Thread Joshua Klander
Hello.  More than likely, you're going to end up needing to 
reformat.  If you created a password reset disk (which I assume 
you haven't), you could easily reset your password.  There are 
tools you can download that claim to be able to hack your 
password, such as Offline NT Password and Registry Editor, but 
they aren't very easy to use, and you will probably need sighted 
assistance.  With some sighted help, I tried using this tool 
once, but was not successful.

Hello friends, I urgently need your help please.

as you all may be aware I posted previusly a problem concerning 
IE or any browser won't let me change my homepage from AVG 
security search.  I was told that it probably  had to do with 
some kind of settings in parental control and I went in there to 
see if I could figure out what to do.  Whilst in there, I was 
prompted by Windows to set a password, less programs or persons 
could have acces and pose some kind of a security risk which I 
did and confirmed it in the box that followed.  I created a 
really simple password which I am sure to remember and when I 
rebooted the machine I am locked out of Windows.  I hear the 
startup sound but gets the prompt to enter my password and it 
never worked.  So one problem lead me int another.


Do you have any idea as to how I can reset this or would I have 
to do the dreaded reformat?

Re: [Blind-Computing] what to do when USB devices won't recognize

2011-08-05 Thread Joshua Klander
Hello.  It definitely sounds like the drive was damaged.  The 
first thing I would recommend doing is plugging the drive into 
another computer so we can see for sure if its the drive or the 
computer that's at fault (more than likely, its the drive, but 
its a good idea to check) If the computer is the problem, than we 
probably have some work to do in device manager, although I'm not 
sure what, considering you already tried re-installing the 
driver.  If the drive doesn't work with any computer you connect 
it to, you will have to try reformatting it.  The first thing you 
will need to do is plug the drive into your computer, and see if 
it shows up under disk management.  To open disk management go to 
the run dialog box by pressing the windows key with r.  In the 
run dialog box, type diskmgmt.msc
When disk management opens, it should show a list of all drives.  
If your drive appears in this list, select it and press the 
applications key.  From the context menu, select format, and 
follow the given instructions to format the drive.  If you find 
out that your computer is what's causing the problem, or you are 
unable to reformat the drive, let me know, and I'll see what else 
I can think of.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] what to do when USB devices won't 
recognize


I bought a 2tb Western Digital external hard drive yesterday.  I 
had
another one, but I bought a second one for backup purposes.  I 
had it
connected to the computer via a USB hub, and the old one 
connected to
the back of the computer.  I was copying files from one to the 
other.
The folder was quite large so it was taking a very long time.  
People

started doing work outside my house so I then plugged my USB
headphones into the hub.  I have had problems with this hub ever 
since
I got it in that often when you plug more than one device into 
it, it
tends to not recognize the new device.  Of course I couldn't 
disconnect
the hub, so I disconnected the headphones, figuring I'd just turn 
up
my speakers since it was loud outside.  Unfortunately, unplugging 
the
headphones had an adverse effect.  It also somehow stopped 
recognizing

the external that I was copying files to.  Now I can't get it to
recognize the drive at all.  Once, when I plugged it in, it said 
I
needed to format the drive to continue, but I hit cancel and 
restarted
the computer, hoping that it would just recognize again as I had 
a
similar problem before and that fixed it.  But no--no matter 
where I
plug it into the computer now, it says the device has 
malfunctioned

and Windows does not recognize it.  I then tried disabling and
reenabling the driver, but no go.
I feel so stupid right about now, if I hadn't plugged in my 
headphones
I wouldn't have broken my new device.  I seriously hope there's a 
way
to fix this because I didn't buy it to break it if you know what 
I

mean.  I'm running Vista Home Premium if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Reading Viewing File Details in Windows 7

2011-07-08 Thread Joshua Klander
Hello.  The quickest way that I know of to find out file info is 
to do the following:
1.  Open the folder that contains the file that you want to view 
its information.

2.  use the up and down arrow keys to find the file you want.
3.  Now, press right arrow.  Now, Jaws should announce what date 
the file was modified.  If you press right arrow again, Jaws 
should tell you the file type.  If you press right arrow again, 
Jaws should announce the file size.  And of course, if you want 
to move back through this info, use the left arrow.
As for getting the path of a file you searched, I'm not sure of a 
quick way to do this.  However, there is a way to open that 
file's location.  To open a file's location, do the following:

1.  Go to the search box, and type what you are searching for.
2.  Use the arrow keys to navigate to the file you want.
3.  Press the applications key, or press shift with f 10 to open 
the context menu.
4.  In the context menu, you should see an option called open 
file location Once you press enter on this option, the folder 
that contains the file you searched for will be opened.

[Blind-Computing] I can't log into my laptop!

Hi list.  I am having a very serious problem right now.  For some 
reason, I cannot log into my laptop.  I have tried many times, 
and I know I have typed the password correctly.  I think the 
thing that caused the problem was when I was messing around with 
the net user command the night before the problem happened.  I 
was just experimenting, as I usually do, and I changed the 
password through command prompt.  Actually, I didn't really 
change x; I just used the password I have already to see if I 
could get the command to work.  So, I know my password is still 
the same.  So, I guess the question is, can using the net user 
command mess up a user account, and what is the easiest way for 
me to log back in.  I did try downloading Windows Login Recovery 
pro demo, burning a cd, and attempting to boot to that cd, but my 
laptop didn't seem to want to boot from the disc.  This was still 
a problem, even after changing the boot priority in the bios.  I 
have a toshiba laptop running Windows 7 Home Premeum.  I am 
wondering what options I have left.  Is their something I missed, 
or an easier way to get back into my machine then messing around 
with log-in recovery software, and trying to boot from a cd.  And 
if not, why isn't my laptop booting from the disc I am trying to 
use?
I usually can fix a good majority of problems I experience with 
my technology, but this one is a bit complicated.

Hello.  I am not sure how to use avast, but one thing you can try

because you will not be able to use your screen reader.  To boot

From the advanced boot options menu that appears, you will need

the program.  There may be a better solution, but as I am not

Hello.  I want to rip CDS, and put them on a psp for my friend.
What is the easiest way to do this? I have jaws 11, and Windows

For a while I used NVDA as my primary screen reader, but then I 
got jaws.

I have never tried out NVDA; only because I have been a JAWS user 

for 9
years and am very used to it.  JAWS was provided to me by my 

Vocational Rehab
councilor so it has not cost me a cent.  If I did not have that 

option, I'm

sure I would give NVDA a serious try.

Hi Chriss,
I have NVDA but I use my Jaws program as my primary screen 

reader because

I find the voices on NVDA very hard to understand.
Just my opinion.

Blind Computing members,
I have a few questions about youtube and copying the video clips.  
One and foremost is it legal to copy a You Tube video clip (video 
and sound)? If not then we do not have to go any further.  
However if it is then let me proceed.  Second Question How would 
a person go about saving the video clip both sound and video so 
that it can be copied on to a DVD? Third and final question is 
there any free programs that can assist with this task? The 
reason I am looking for both sound and video is for my sighted 
fiance.  thank you all very much for any assistance offered on 
this matter.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Cobra


  Hello all,
I just want to tell you about an interesting new screen reader 
made by
German company Baum.  It's called Cobra (I know, it's named 
after a snake,
hahaha).  Joking aside, it contains lots of interesting and 
inovative
features, such as the ability to capture the screen and perform 
on the fly
OCR.  No other screen reader I know does this.  You can download 
it, and try
it as a 30 minute reboot situation from www.baum.com.  What's 
interesting
though is that although a reboot is necessary to run the 30 
minute
demonstraiton again, Cobra actually will still speak, but will 
interrupt and
remind you that the demo has expired.  Again no other screen 
reader does

this.
Enjoy!

It really depends on the keyboard itsself since some of them are
specifically more or less splash proof, but I wouldn't call them 
water

proof.

To clean it, generally, you'd just wipe the keys etc.  with a 
damp cloth, and
also turn it upside down somewhere and tap it (relatively gently) 
on the
rear a bit to try get any dust etc.  out of the inner parts of 
it, but you
wouldn't really wash it as such apart from just wiping surfaces 
with a damp

cloth - with no water drops running off thereof.

Stay well
