Well, it was bound to happen. I have been using Super Anti Spyware 4.56 free edition successfully for a long time, but suddenly, it stopped updating the database definitions a few weeks ago. So today I updated to SAS 5.0 free dition, the latest version, and, of course, it is much less JAWS friendly than its predecessor. Using the JAWS cursor with JAWS 13, I was able to update the database definitions in this new version of SAS and then run a quick scan. When the scan finished, the results page showed that SAS had detected two potentially harmful threats, and recommended that they be removed immediately from my computer. But using the JAWS cursor, I could not find these threats listed anywhere on the results page, nor could I find any check boxes to select them for removal. Clicking on the Remove Threats button at the bottom of the page brought up a warning that no threats had been selected for removal, but do I want to continue anyway. Clicking on the No button brought me back to the results page where I still could not find the detected threats and select them for removal. This was never a problem with the earlier version of SAS. Can anyone explain how to find and select malware threats detected by SAS 5.0? Or is SAS now another one of those programs that has become unusable with JAWS? Thanks for any help.

[Blind-Computing] Balloon Messages in Windows7, Changing the amount of time they show
Hi All, I ran across a tip on how to set the time for how long balloon messages will stay up so you can have time to access them. Here you go; In Windows 7 it's under Ease of Access. Type Ease of Access in to the search box in the start prompt. In the Ease of Access Center go to, Make it easier to focus on tasks, and hit enter. Near the end of the options that come up is a combobox with different time settings to adjust the time that those balloons stay on screen. I adjusted mine to 1 minute which gives me enough time to find them and click on them. Hope this helps. Take care.

Hi Madison, I agree with you but, yet disagree! As I stated earlier, people like getting advice / help from others who have experienced the same or similar problems. Too many times doing searches gives you so many options that it can leave you with your head spinning! As for dragging others into help related questions, everyone offers their help, noone is dragged in! As for the question I originally posted to the list, this person needed the help I didn't have an answer for them, not ever having experienced this problem or similar problems I didn't have the time to search for it at the moment so, I was guilty of using the list to help another!

Its one thing when a lister nees help, but its an entirely different thing when list members volunteer this list to fix their friend's computers. Also, even though your friend is not very knowledgeable about computers or Google searches, you are, so if you offer to help it isn't fair we all get dragged into this. I do agree with you on your point that if all knew how to use Google we would not need these less. These lists seem to be essential in the blind community because for the vast number of questions, they can indeed be answered very quickly with a Google search.

Hi Scorpio, I re-wrote your prior steps to reflect the single clicking. Would you or any other list member please review the re-written steps to see if they are correct? Also, if a person wanted to select continuous files, would they hold down the shift key, like I do with Jaws, arrow / scroll down ? Here are the re-written steps; For selecting non-continuous files the person has to press and hold down the control key, then left click 1 time on each file they want to select as they move down the list. Once all the files are selected, they can press the applications key, or press the right mouse button 1 time on any of the files, to get the context menu, or, if they're copying or moving the files, press the keystrokes as needed.

Hi Scorpio, Let me see if I understand you correctly. Are you saying, for selecting continuous files; 1. Highlight the first file press the left moust button 1 time, then hold down the shift key. 2. While keeping the shift key depressed, arrow down to the last file you would like selected, do a single left mouse clickk on the last file, by doing single left mouse clicks on the first last file in the list, all files between the first and the last will be highlighted / selected. Yes, these are personally created files and not system files. I would like to thank you for your patience understanding.

This will, in turn, select all the files between those two files. Additionally, should one wish to select further files to include in the list, one simply need hold down the control key, and continue selecting the files in the noncontiguous format until all files are selected. I should mention that I am assuming that the files being selected are user created files like MP3 or word processing documents and not system files. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that the process for selecting system files are far more different than selecting user created files as system files are normally hidden, and so will not show up in a regular window, and so folder options must be changed in order to reflect the showing of those files. Either way, the continuous and non-contiguous format of selecting files are as I have outlined above. Hope this helps you in some way.

Kovar, CRN January 06, 2012 10:28 AM ET NetApp Thursday became the latest major storage vendor to officially raise hard drive prices in the wake of the Thailand floods. NetApp Thursday night posted a notice on its Web site saying it is temporarily raising hard drive list prices by between 5 percent and 15 percent effective Feb. 6. The move, according to NetApp, was necessary due to increased hard drive costs in the wake of severe floods in Thailand that wiped out nearly one-third of the world's hard drive manufacturing capacity. NetApp's planned price increases follows similar moves by rivals EMC (NYSE: EMC) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), both of which said in December that they plan to raise hard drive prices by up to 15 percent, according to multiple news reports, including Computer Business Review. In its statement, NetApp said it empathizes with Thailand citizens who are trying to recover from the floods and that it is working with hard drive suppliers to secure the drives to meet its needs. However, similar to other vendors we have seen a negative impact to our drive costs. While we initially absorbed the cost increases to protect our partners and customers, we are no longer able to do so. Effective February 6, 2012, we will be temporarily increasing HDD list prices 5 -15% over current pricing. We will continue to monitor the situation as it evolves and will provide updates as appropriate. Thank you for your continued partnership, NetApp said in the statement. HP declined to offer specific information on its hard drive pricing plans. However, in a statement e-mailed to CRN, HP wrote, Given the uncertainty associated with the situation, HP expects there to be continued headwinds related to the flooding in Thailand, affecting hard disk drive (HDD) supply and pricing by our suppliers, which may have a temporary impact on HP's pricing of HDDs. HP is in constant communication with our employees, clients and suppliers to optimize business continuity and actively manage this dynamic situation. EMC declined to comment on hard drive prices, citing the quiet period before it announces its next quarterly financial results on Jan. 24 . However, an EMC spokesperson did confirm that EMC early this quarter raised its hard drive list prices by 5 percent to 15 percent over last year's fourth-quarter prices. Dell (NSDQ: Dell) did not respond to inquiries about its hard drive pricing plans.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Installing MSE
HI Pete, What I would do is, download MSSE but do not install / run it, this way MSSE will be ready to install after uninstalling McAfee. To uninstall McAfee, make sure it is turned off / exited. Whaat you can do is go into, msconfig, control + tab to start-up, uncheck the McAfee box reboot the computer. This way you know that McAfee didn't start with Windows. Check the System Tray to be sure. Now you can uninstall it, do a disk clean-up, defrag, reboot install MSSE. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] mal whare bytes problem
Hi Angelina, The error message you are referring to only comes up when Jaws is running. I had someone sighted check this message on 3 computers running 3 different operating systems it only came up when Jaws was running on all 3 computers. Freedom Scientific could not re-create this problem because I only get this error message running the Pro / pay for version, Fs only runs the free version. So, whenever this message comes up , just press the spacebar on the okay button to get rid of it.

Re: [Blind-Computing] about outlook express for windows 7
Hi David, There is a program that allows you to use identities in Windows Mail. The information is below. http://www.oehelp.com/WMIDs/Default.aspx WMIDs (Windows Mail Identities) is a program that replaces the Outlook Express Identities feature, which was removed when Outlook Express was renamed and updated to Windows Mail in Windows Vista. The program allows Windows Mail users to have different Identities that impersonate users, while being logged onto the same user space in Vista. This program will only run in Windows Vista and is only for Windows Mail. Such a feature is useful for separating business from personal messages, as well as for allowing different individuals to be able to segregate their message store and settings from other users, while being logged on to Vista as a single user. This capability is achieved by allowing each Identity to have its own settings and message location. By switching between Identities, the user can maintain segregation of these settings and messages relevant to the particular Identity. The program allows the user to manage various Identities, so that Windows Mail settings can be the same or different between Identities. Similarly the user can specify the same or different message store locations on a per Identity basis. If the user runs the program with command line parameters then it will start Windows Mail with the designated Identity, allowing the user to create shortcuts to open Windows Mail under each Identity. You can get the rest of the info about this program from the link above. Hope this helps. Take care.

(Line height automatically adjusts to accommodate the size of the font and any graphics or formulas in a line.) 1.5 Lines - Line-and-one-half spacing (an extra half-line of space between lines). Double - Double-spacing (an extra full line of space between lines). At Least - At least the spacing that you specify in the At box-the line won't be shorter than what you specify, but it may be taller because Word will add extra spacing for tall characters, big graphics, and superscript or subscript text.

[Blind-Computing] Transporting Office Settings
Hi All, I just installed Office 2002 onto a new computer running XP Pro Jaws13. Is there a way to transport the settings from another computer running Office 2002, to this 1? Mainly I would like to transfer the Word settings from the other computer to this one so I don't have to configure all that crap again! LOL LOL All help will be greatly appreciated graciously accepted. Thanks much, take care. Mike For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[Blind-Computing] New Information On Transporting Office Settings
Hi All, Out of curiosity I checked the MS Office folder in All Programs there was a save my settings wizard. I ran a search, and below is what I found. SUMMARY This step-by-step guide describes how to back up user settings for an Office XP installation to a secure Web site or to a file by using the Save My Settings Wizard. The Save My Settings Wizard stores information about program options and preferences, custom templates and dictionaries, and AutoCorrect lists to a secure location on the Internet or to a file. You can also use the Save My Settings Wizard to restore settings to an Office XP installation. Back Up Office XP Settings NOTE: When you start the Save My Settings Wizard, you will be prompted to quit any Office XP programs that may be running. Quit all Office XP programs before you perform this procedure. To back up Office XP settings by using the Save My Settings Wizard, follow these steps: list of 5 items 1. Start the Save My Settings Wizard. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Save My Settings Wizard. 2. On the first page of the wizard, click Next. 3. Click the Save the settings from this machine option, and then click Next. 4. Click one of the following options: list of 2 items nesting level 1 • Save the settings to the Web • Save the settings to a File list end nesting level 1 NOTE: If you choose the Save the settings to a File option, the settings are stored in an Office Profile Settings (OPS) file on your computer's hard disk when you click Next, and the wizard will finish. If you choose the Save the settings to the Web option, you will be prompted to type a Microsoft Passport ID when you click Next. Click Next. 5. Type your Passport sign-in name and password, and then click OK. Microsoft stores your settings on the Web for three months. If you want to receive e-mail notification before the expiration date, type your e-mail address, and then click Next. If you do not want to receive this notification, leave the E-mail address box blank, and then click Finish. list end Back to the top REFERENCES For additional information about the Save My Settings Wizard, please see the following Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/Office/ORK/xp/FIVE/wgtb05.htm Hope this helps others besides me.

[Blind-Computing] Update On Converting .EML files to .TXT
Hi All, Well, I finally got the 1 folder with its sub-folders converted from approximately85% .EML files to roughly90% .TXT files. The size of the original folder before the conversion was 9.40GB, after converting placing the new files in a new folder with the same folder structure, 1.75 GB! I used a program called Potal Mail Converter from; www.coolutils.com I used the trial version so, I couldn't do anything with the attachments. The Pro version has several options for dealing with attachments. I thought I would give y'all an update on the conversion process. This Total Mail Converter program is a kick in the a**! Take care.

[Blind-Computing] NLS Player Battery
Hi All, I have the NLS Advanced player the battery doesn't seem to be taking a charge. I have had the player plugged into a 120 volt AC socket for 15 hours when pressing the information button the battery status states that there is less than 1 hour of battery life left. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time I have charged the battery so, it wouldn't seem likely that I am anywhere close to how many times the battery pack can be recharged. In some information I have, it states that the batteries can be recharged around 600 times. All advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care.

For example, I can do this by: 1) Opening the SETTINGS item on the main menu and selecting Control Panel 2) Selecting Device Manager (or selecting System and then finding the Device Manager tab) 3) Once the Device Manager is open, browsing (and opening closed elements - the component list. One needs to be careful not to modify any of those settings once in Device Manager unless they are certain of what they are doing, but this isn't really very risky since cancelling out is fairly obvious. This procedure gives one an exhaustive list of exactly what his/her PC is comprised of concerning hardware. Does not Windows 7 provide a Device Manager interface; perhaps it isn't called that in that OS?

How do I change that second six dollars into a just plain six, which sites the number of games played?

Re: [Blind-Computing] folders inverted in list of documents
Hi Lloyd, Do the following; 1. Press Alt + V, for the view menu. 2. Arrow down make sure that list is checked, if it isn't press enter to check it. If you press enter Jaws will take you out of the menues. That's okay just press Alt + V, for the view menu again. 3. Arrow down to Arrange Icons By sub-menues press enter. 4. Now, arrow down to name press enter. Whenever you have List Name checked your menues are inverted, follow steps 3 4 to reverse the order. Hope this helped. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] recycle bin
Hi Kimsan, Below is something else to look at. From: David Ferrin I must point out gang this tip is not for the faint of heart, and I don't recall if I posted it before or not. *** Three Tricks to Make the Windows Send To Feature Even More Useful. http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/three-tricks-make-windows-send-feature-even-more-useful.htm Updated 19. September 2011 - 6:34 by v.laurie. It's been part of Windows for years and may be old hat to some but the Send To function in the right-click context menu doesn't get the use that it ought to. Also, it has some tricks that most people don't know. A previous tip described a very useful app that adds features to Send To but this time I will give you three little-known tricks that help make this function more powerful without requiring the addition of any program. How to move a file or folder instead of copying it The default action of Send To is to copy a file or folder to the target destination. To change this so that the file is moved instead of copied, hold down the Shift key when you click the desired destination. This works when standard folders are the target destination but the special folder (My) Documents only seems to accept the copy action. The copy or move function is especially useful when you have added folders of your own to the default list of Send To destinations. How to add folders was described in a previous tip and the third tip below gives another method. How to send a shortcut of a file or folder Hold down the keyboard combination Ctrl+Shift and the Send To action becomes the creation of a shortcut in the destination folder. Put SendTo in the Send To menu Adding the SendTo folder itself to the menu provides a quick way to add a shortcut from a desired program or folder to the Send To menu. With the SendTo folder itself as a destination you can do the tongue-twisting operation of sending to Send To. Here is the procedure to set this up in Windows Vista/7: 1. Open the Start menu and enter shell:sendto in the Start search bar (without quotes and with a colon but no spaces). 2. The SendTo folder will open. Note that the folder name is written as one word. 3. Go up one level to the parent Windows folder of SendTo with the keyboard shortcut Alt+Up Arrow. Alternatively, click Windows in the address bar breadcrumb list. 4. Find the folder SendTo in the new window and right-click drag it to the desktop. 5. Choose Create shortcuts here from the context menu to place a shortcut on the desktop. 6. Drag the new shortcut back to the SendTo folder icon in the open window and move it there. 7. Close the window. The procedure for Windows XP is somewhat different: 1.SendTo is a Hidden folder in Windows XP. If necessary, change the settings to make Hidden folders visible as given at this link. 2. Open the Start menu and enter %userprofile% in the Run line (without quotes but with the percent signs). Alternatively, enter sendto in the Run line and go up one level to the parent folder. Then follow steps 4-7 given for Windows Vista/7. Now you will have a quick way to place folders and programs of your choice in the list of target destinations in the Send To function.

[Blind-Computing] Does Using an SSD Make a Difference?
Hi All, Below is an article I received from Auslogics that I thought y'all might like to read. Does Using an SSD Make a Difference? Hi, Liz Cornwell here. Recently we’ve started receiving a lot of questions about SSDs. Does using an SSD make a difference? How to deal with SSDs? Should they be defragged? So, as per your request, I’m going to shed some light on SSDs in this newsletter. First of all, I’d like to remind you what SSDs are. Basically, a solid-state drive (SSD) is a data storage device, just like your hard drive. Unlike hard drives, SSDs use NAND flash memory to store data, which makes them a lot faster. Does using an SSD make a difference? Absolutely! SSDs are electronic devices and don’t have any mechanical parts. This means that there is literally nothing to slow them down. Once you have an SSD, you’ll be rid of the worst performance bottleneck. When you install an SSD, everything else you did to boost performance will seem insignificant. And there is more good news – file fragmentation doesn’t affect SSDs because they can grab fragmented files just as quickly as non-fragmented files. In addition to that, using an SSD is a lot more pleasant than using a hard drive because SSDs are quieter and don’t suffer from physical shock as much as HDDs do. Sounds great, doesn’t it? But there are a few things you need to keep in mind when you are using an SSD. The most important thing to remember is that SSD flash memory can only endure a certain number of writes. It’s a pretty large number, but still. That’s why it’s good to do everything you can to reduce the number of writes and thus prolong the lifetime of your SSD. Should you defragment an SSD? This is another common question and the answer is “No”. As I said before, conventional defragmentation doesn’t improve the performance of an SSD in any noticeable ways. You might argue and say that there are articles recommending to defrag SSDs and various software that supports SSD defrag. Well, all I can say is that these articles are written by people who choose an insignificant performance gain over stability and reliability. Remember I said that you need to reduce the number of writes? Well, conventional defrag performs plenty of writes, doing your SSD no good. As for the SSD defrag software, reputable programs don’t actually attempt to defrag SSDs – all they do is apply file placement optimization algorithms. By the way, even Microsoft recognizes that SSDs don’t need to be defragged. If you have a system with an SSD, scheduled defragmentation in Windows 7 is disabled by default when the operating system is installed on an SSD from scratch. Auslogics BoostSpeed Take care.

Another way to get to preferences is after pressing enter on the Adobe shortcut, press Alt + E, for the edit menu, arrow up to preferences, press enter. 3.

Re: [Blind-Computing] looking for pdf to word converter
Hi Iqbal, You need to disable protected view first to get it to work well with Jaws. Do the following: 1. From either your desktop or start menu, press enter on Adobe. The Adobe window is now open, press control + K, to open preferences. Another way to get to preferences is after pressing enter on the Adobe shortcut, press Alt + E, for the edit menu, arrow up to preferences, press enter. 3. When preferences opens you will be in a tree view and should be on the General page, if not arrow up or down until you have General highlighted. It is #4 of 29. Tab until you find a checkbox called enable protected mode at startup, uncheck it, choose yes on the warning you will get to continue. You need to look at 2 more settings so, tab until you have General highlighted again. 4. With General highlighted, press the letter I, until you have Internet highlighted. 5. Tab to, Display PDF in browser, if this box is checked press the spacebar to uncheck it. 6. Tab to connection speed combobox, arrow up / down for the setting that best matches your Internet Providers speed. 7. Tab to the okay button, press enter to close preferences save your changes, press Alt + F4 to close Adobe. If I have missed something or if there is something that should be added, would someone please jump in correct me?! Hope this helps. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] diphraggler
Hi Kimsan, To make sure that Google Chrome isn't installed, route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor, page up, arrow down 1 line at a time on each installation window. Pay very close attention to the last couple of windows! It can be kind of tricky checking or unchecking the necessary checkboxes using the Jaws cursor. Take care.

There was no mention of installing google chrome. I just received a new machine and I don't wanna go through the crap that I went through last time with my other machine.

Re: [Blind-Computing] c cleaner
Hi Anna, It all depends on how much crap is on your harddrive / how much cleaning it has to do, how you have CCleaner settings configured, the size of your harddrive, the speed of your computer. Mine will take quite awhile before it even says 2%! So, I've gotten used to it , just wait until I hear Jaws report 100%. If I have missed or misstated something, will someone please jump in straighten my mistakes out or fill in what I've missed! Hope this helps. Take care.
