Hi Trish,

Whenever you want to know what a particular key on the keyboard is, press 
Jaws / Insert Key + 1, on the number row to turn Jaws keyboard help on, then 
press the key to have Jaws tell you what key you are pressing.  Take care.

  Hi Trish;
  Just use, windows-key+e=windows explorer,
  You then will see the local C Drive.

  If you want computer on desktop,
  Go to desktop,

  Ctrl+spacebar to unselect icons,
  Now applications key,
  Up arrow and enter on personalize,
  Now, tab and enter on,
  Change desktop icons link,
  Here you can check computer,
  And tab ok.
  Hope this helps.
  As I said,
  Windows-key+pause will allow you to see how much memory,

  Hello trish;

  Use the keystroke,
  Windows-key+pause,

  Or,
  Go to computer,
  Highlight C Drive,
  Now bring up properties with alt+enter,
  Now rout jaws to pc, you will find the information.
  As for finding the memory;

  You could also highlight computer, on desktop, and again bring up
  properties, rout jaws to pc, and start down arrowing.

  Rick,

  I just did the search process and found a tree view of several items 
closed
  pertaining to each component, it was helpful to a point, some of it well
  guess it's for more advanced computer users like yourself.
  What I didn't find and want to know is, size of the hard drive, amount of
  memory, where would that be through the search feature?

  Thanks,

  Hi Bill,
  It is still called Device Manager, in Windows 7,
  however, how you get to it is a little different.
  In Windows 7, you can simply type the following in the search box on the
  start menu:
  device manager
  Alternatively,
  if God Mode is being used,
  then a person can open that folder and find device manager in the list, 
and
  hit enter.

  What I think Trish is asking for is how to go into the "Device Manager" 
and
  discover exactly what hardware components are configured for her system.
  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?

Re: [Blind-Computing] how do you remove formatting from a document

[Mike & Barbara in Arcadia]

Hi Jason,

Below are 2 other ways you can achieve the same results;

#1;
Doing the following removes html formatting from source material copied from 
web based resources.
1. Highlight the text/Email you want to copy.
2. Copy it to the windows clipboard with CTRL+C.
3. Return to or open a new document.
4. If you are copying text into an existing document, When you get to the 
place you want to insert your copied material press
alt+E. Just press Alt + E if you are pasting text into a new document.
5. Up-arrow until you hear Jaws say "paste special"
6. Press enter and up-arrow until you hear Jaws say "paste as unformatted
text" and press enter.
This will remove all of the HTML formatting from your copied material and
insert it into your document.
Be advised that your cursor will be at the bottom of the inserted material
and you will need to use the appropriate reading commands to get to the
beginning of your text.

#2;
One thing you can do is to select and copy information from a web site as
text only.  This use to be the default in earlier versions of JAWS.  When on
a web page bring up JAWS verbosity with Insert_V and use down arrow to move
to the "virtual cursor settings choice."  Expand the group if it is closed
by using right arrow.  Use down arrow to move to the choice "select and copy
full content using on screen highlight."  Press the spacebar until JAWS says
"select and copy using virtual cursor" and then press the enter key.  When
you select the information and copy or append it to the clipboard, the
formatting and HTML element information won't be included.
Hope this helped.  Take care.
Mike

  Hi list.

  However, the copied text, still has the headings imbedded from the

  Deleting the heading doesn't seem to be working. Is there anything else i

  This probably isn't quite what you're looking for, but a "Check" list can 
be
  created in older versions of Word by selecting the "FORMAT" drop down menu
  and select the item that refers to Bullets and Numbering - exactly wording
  escapes me just now.  At any rate, "Check Mark" is one of the list

tab
  down to "bullets" then press space it will take you into a list of

  There you can arrow up and down through the options. The checkmark is

Re: [Blind-Computing] Character code for check mark in MS Word 2007

[Mike & Barbara in Arcadia]

Hi Jerry;

Below is some verification of what we are talking about is correct.
Hey Mike,

I use alt+251 to insert the Square Root symbol. As you already
mentioned, jaws will read it as letter "v". You can add the Square
Root symbol in the default dictionary manager, and then jaws will read
it correctly.

This is how I did it:

1. Open notepad.
2. Press ALT+251, this will insert the Square Root symbol.
3. Note that Jaws will read the Square Root symbol as letter "V".
4. Select and copy the symbol without any spaces.
5. Open the Jaws default dictionary manager from the Jaws utilities submenu.
6. Select the Add button to add new entry in the Dictionary.
6. Paste the symbol in the "Actual word" edit box.
7. Type "Square Root" in the "Replacement word" edit box.
8. Tab to OK.

Hope this helps,

Zaheer Sheikh

  Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Video Intercept Error

  Hi Martin,

  Follow the steps below for installing the Video Intercept file correctly;

  When you get the Video Intercept error after reinstalling Jaws do the
  following;
  1. Go to Freedom Scientifics website, find the FSVideoIntercept-32bit or
  64bit.exe, which ever 1 is appropriate for your system.  Download and save
  it somewhere on your harddrive that you will be able to access it easily.
  The direct download links for both 32bit and 64bit systems are below. 
Click
  on your appropriate link.

  ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/Tools/FSVideoInter
  cept-32bit.exe

  ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/WebFiles/Tools/FSVideoInter
  cept-64bit.exe

  2. Go to Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs, press enter, and wait for
  the programs list to populate / show up.
  3. Arrow down to the Freedom Scientific Admin Tool , tab to remove, press
  the spacebar, and if asked if you want to remove its shared components say
  yes.
  4. Now reboot the computer.
  5. When the computer reboots and that Video Intercept error message 
appears,
  exit out of the message.
  6. Now, go to where you saved the FSVideoIntercept-32bit or 64bit.exe,
  highlight it, and press enter to run it.  After running the Video 
Intercept,
  reboot the computer if prompted to do so.

  Running this will reinstall the Admin Tool that you removed earlier and
  everything should work fine.  Hope this helps.  Take care.
  Mike

Hi, A friend of mine is getting a video intercept error every time she
starts JAWS 11 (on XP). The message is something like "installation
  package
for the product Freedom Scientific Video intercept cannot be found. Try
  the
installation again using a valid copy of the installation  package
'FSVIDEOINTERCEPT.msi'."



I have had her reinstall JAWS, reinstall the video intercept from the
  Tools
menu, repair JAWS, and modify the registry per the Freedom Scientific
  site.
I found a separate video intercept install file on the FS website, but 
it
was for JAWS 7. We did not try that. Maybe there is one there for JAWS 
11,
but I could not find it. Any ideas?

Re: [Blind-Computing] new folders in i e 8

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Jason,

Below are a couple of notes I have saved regarding saving favorites.  Take a 
look & hopefully they will help.

The safest way to move Favorites into a folder (I assume you mean IE
favorites), is to use the Context key or Shift-F10 to add them one at a
time.  First, focus on IE and launch your Favorites list, Control-I.  To
create a new folder, hit the Context key, arrow down to Create New Folder
and hit Enter.  Once you have created a folder, focus on a Favorite you
would like to add to this folder and hit Context key.  Arrow down to Cut and
hit Enter.  Now, refocus on the folder and hit Context key again.  Arrow
down to Paste and hit Enter.  The selected Favorite will be added to the
folder.  Repeat these steps for each Favorite you wish to add to the folder.
This may seem a little more complicated than using Windows shortcut keys,
but you are less likely to screw up along the way and lose a Favorite.  I
always use this method to add Favorites or Feeds to folders.  Remember that
you can use the Undo command, Control-Z if you make a mistake.  HTH.
Gerald


Mike,

I suggest that you do all the moving and creation of new folders using
MS-Explorer and not within the context of the favorites organizer in IE.

Go to your Documents and Settings folder and then open the one with your
user name or perhaps just "user" if you've not configured one. In that
folder you should find a folder "favorites". Open it and you should see all
your favorites and any folders already created.

You can easily create new folders and move favorites to them and clean up. I
find it much easier than using IE's favorites organizer.

Dave

Hope this helped.  Take care.
Mike

Hi Janet,

Yes it is very easily accessed.  I am running XP Home / Pro with Jaws10 thru

Hi Portia,

We did get it figured out.  Somehow a checkbox in her Gmail settings got

Hi Pete,

We went into our friends' Gmail account and found that a box that is 
supposed to send all her email to her Inbox, had gotten unchecked & 
subsequently all her email was going into her Spam folder.  Naturally we 
didn't see this settings error until we had wasted a bunch of time moving 
her email from the Spam folder to the InBox!  LOL

I

HTML."
  Once I enter on that link it works just fine. If I don't, I am not able to
  navigate to my inbox, contacts or spam.
  Interestingly enough, if I don't go to HTML view, I keep seeing the

  As far as I know, I have done nothing to activate this compatibility view

be synced to Gmail.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Windows Update How to get it back into StartMenu

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Again Larry,

I did find out how to get Microsoft Update into the start menu, from Rick & 
the Jaws-Users list.  Below are his steps.

Hi Mike,
Here is one way to do what you are wanting:
1. Use the link below to go to the Microsoft Update site:

http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

2. Once there, open the file menu, and arrow to, send, and hit enter.
3. In the resulting sub-menu, select shortcut to desktop, and hit enter.
The resulting shortcut is named, Microsoft Update, but you can rename it to,
Windows Update.
4. Now you have a shortcut, that you can move to the start menu.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Thanks again for your input.  Take care.
Mike

  Hello,
  I am using Outlook 2003 and FS says that JAWS works better with the
  e-mail maximized.  I am using Auto Sizer and have the play default sound
  checked.  My wife says the window is maximized, but the sound will not 
play.
  While I was using Outlook Express, the sound played.  I did download Auto

  I am using JAWS 12.0.1170, Windows XP Home, SP 3.
  I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
  Thanks,

Re: [Blind-Computing] Ninite not updating MSSE

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Rick & Larry,

Thank you both for your input.  I wonder why Ninite advertises updating MSSE 
when it doesn't, at least with XP anyway?!  I will continue to update 
manually to insure that MSSE stays up to date.  Ninite did update My 
Dropbox!  Hot Damn!  LOL  LOL

Thanks again, take care.

  Hi Mike,
  I have never seen updates for MSE come in Windows automatic updates in
  Windows XP.
  They will however, in Windows Vista and Windows 7,
  but after that happens, if I go to MSE, and tell it to check for updates, 
it
  always appears to update again.
  I think I would just stick with letting MSE do the updating rather than a
  third-party application.

I have found that Ninite, at least on all 4 of our computers, will not
update Microsoft Security Essentials.  I will check what MSSE definition we
have, run Ninite, immediately recheck the MSSE definitions, & find that they
have not been updated.  Then I check for updates from within the MSSE
program & MSSE updates with a newer version / definition number.  I have no

Re: [Blind-Computing] dial-of conection

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Anna,
1. The 50.6 is faster.

2. The speed is controlled by your service, how many people that might be 
using the line at the moment, & no one could guess on the other variables 
that might involved in slowing your connection speed down.

3. Your provider could run a new line & install new connectors are the only 
2 things that I can think of to improve your speed.  I don't know of 
anything personally, that you can do to help your situation.

I am only speaking of personal experiences that I've had and what was done 
to help my connection speed problems.  Hopefully someone with more 
experience & knowledge will reply with better information.  Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] online banking

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Yvonne & Alan,

Below is a note that I had saved regarding Karat Browsing.

FROM
http://blogmines.com/blog/2009/07/15/what-is-caret-browsing-in-internet-explorer-8/
Caret Browsing is cool feature available in Internet Explorer 8.
Rather than using a mouse to select text and move around within a webpage, 
you can use standard navigation keys on your keyboard-Home, End, Page Up, 
Page
Down, and the arrow keys. This feature is called Caret Browsing and is named 
after the caret-or cursor-that appears when you edit a document.

>From Yahoo:
In computing, caret navigation is a kind of keyboard navigation where a 
caret (also known as "text cursor", "text insertion cursor", or "text 
selection
cursor") is used to navigate within a text document. It is a fundamental 
feature for applications that deal with text, for example text editors, word 
processors
and desktop publishing programs.

This kind of navigation is also supported by the Mozilla-based web browsers, 
where it is referred as "caret browsing". A shortcut key (F7) is assigned
to toggle between caret mode and non-caret mode. In caret mode, a blinking 
caret appears within the webpage. User can then navigate the webpage using 
arrow
keys. The navigation is finer than spatial navigation and tabbing 
navigation, which deals with hyperlinks only, but most times it is slower.

so basically if you have a PSP or cellphone browser... that's what it 
becomes like.. where you can move up and down by using the arrow keys [they 
jump
to the next link]

to turn it off press F7 again...
so all-in-all, its changing your settings on a webpage so you can navigate 
the page with the keyboard opposed to the mouse.
>From me:
We can already do this FASTER with JAWS.
BTW: Caret Browsing is also available in FireFox.

Hope this helps, somewhat!.  Take care.
Mike

[Blind-Computing] Another Accessible Google Website

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi All,

This accessible Google website was found on another list.  It supposed to be 
designed for mobile devices, but is supposed to work great for those who 
don't like any clutter popping up when they are searching the web.

http://www.google.com/m

Hope this helps.  Take care.

[Blind-Computing] Malwarebytes VS SuperAnti Spyware Info

[Mike & Barbara in Arcadia]

Hi All, Below is some information I found in my notes regarding SAS & its 
ability to find malware.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Ad-Aware 2007 Scripts

I am installing and using the free Super Anti-Spyware program on many of my
clients computers.  It will also scan for tracking cookies like Ad-Aware
does if you set it to.  To have the program scan for tracking cookies in
addition to all other types of malware you can do the following once it is
installed:

1.  Double-click or press enter on the Super anti-Spyware installed icon on
the desktop.
2.  Use the tab key to move to the preferences button and press enter.
3.  The previous step opens the control center for the program.  You might
not be able to use the tab key to move between the controls.  However, if
you use Alt-Tab to move back to the parent dialog box that was opened,
(which should be called "Super AntiSpyware Free Edition", and close that
dialog box by using Alt-F4, then you will be able to tab between the
controls of the "Super AntiSpyware Control Center" once you use Alt-Tab to
move back to it.
 4.  Once you have moved back to the Super AntiSpyware control center,
use the tab or shift-tab keystroke to move to the page tabs of the dialog
box.
5.  Once on the page tabs use the right arrow key to move to the scanning
control tab.
6.  use the tab key to move to the "scan for tracking cookies" checkbox and
use spacebar to check or uncheck the choice.  You can then use tab key to
move to the close button and press enter.
7.  There are also settings in the "General and Startup: page tab of the
Super Anti-Spyware control center that you might want to check such as
starting the program with Windows, having it run in the system tray, etc.
If it runs in the system tray and you open it from there with the right
mouse button simulation then you can use the tab key in the control center
without closing any other dialog first.

The latest version of AVAST has anti-spyware detection and removal as part
of the program including anti-rootkit detection and of course antivirus
protection.  It is very easy to use with JAWS when selected from the system
tray and using the various levels of menus.

 Super Anti-Spyware takes a little longer to scan than Ad-Aware, but it
removes everything Ad-Aware does plus many other types of malware.
Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] SuperAnti Spyware Pro users

[Mike & Barbara in Arcadia]

Hi Margaret,

Since I just went back to 5.0 Pro yesterday, & in doing so I had totally 
removed SAS from my computers & did a fresh install, the update you received 
was probably installed with the fresh reinstall, because I haven't received 
any updates since reinstalling SAS.  My guess is that it wouldn't do any 
harm to update your version since it can't make anything worse, but might 
make things better.  Take care.

  Mike,

  I'm still running the Pro 5.x since I'm working on getting unnecessary 
stuff off my XP in preparation for the Windows 7 machine and wanted a time 
when I could concentrate on getting the old Super Anti-Spyware.  I wandered 
in the computer room to check on the progress of the daily scheduled scan 
earlier tonight only to be greeted by the message that an update was 
available, did I want to download it?  After the trouble the last update to 
5.x caused, I said no until I could find out what the update does.  Did any 
brave soul say yes?  How accessible is it and what's new with it?

  Thanks,

  Margaret

  I'm so happy to hear that other JAWS users are having trouble with the
  new
Pro Super Anti-Spyware!  It installed the new version several days ago
  when
I checked for updates after it hadn't done the usual daily scan for a
  couple
days.  I was finally able to schedule a daily scan for my preferred 
time,
but I couldn't tell it to let me do manual complete scans when I wanted
  and
not to do them automatically.  The closest I could come was to let it do
them one day a week.

  Does anyone know if with version 5 (Pro) for the item to quarantine 
and
remove items does it remove them or put them in the quarantine vault so
  one
can double check them before removing them?

  I was able to get the new Pro version to work with JAWS 10, but it was 
a
bit easier with 12.

  If you use the link for the old interface, will  SAS still update new
definitions etc.?

  Hi David,

  The SAS 5.0 version is somewhat accessible, as we have both found out,
  but
  only if you are running Jaws11 or 12.  It is not accessible with any
earlier
  versions.  Also, we have both learned that about the only part that is
  accessible is configuring scanning & programming schedules, but even
  doing
  these tasks' takes a lot of work using both the Jaws & PC cursors &
  left,
  right, up, & down arrowing.
Hopefully they will make the rest of the Interface accessible
as well.

Take care.

Hi Gerald,

Thank you very much for reminding me of the update tab in SAS preferences, I 
totally brainfarted on that!  I don't have version 4.56 available to me 
right now so, if this is turned off, does this stop SAS from updating or, 
just stop showing the reminder notice?  Thanks again, take care.

Hi Alan,

I really can't give you a definite answer on this because my knowledge of 
Malwarebytes is minimal aat best.  But, in what little experience I do have, 
I do believe the 2 programs look for different things.  If my assumption is

  I have just installed the Malware program to give it a
  whirl. I was prompted to register or decline (chose the
  later) I see there is also a choice to purchase and then
  register? How long does the trial version last or is this
  the type program where the free version works well but the
  paid has more bells & whistles? The initial quick scan
  produced a clean report

Re: [Blind-Computing] SuperAnti Spyware Pro users

Hi Margaret,

This is the reply I received today about running SAS 4.56 & if its 
definitions updates will stay up to date.

mb69ma...@charter.net Wrote:

Hi,

If you use the link for the old Pro 4.56 interface, will  SAS still update 
new / latest definitions without updating the interface etc.? Thanks much, 
take
care.
Mike

SUPERAntiSpyware.com Replied:

Hi there,

Yes that is true. Definition updates are independent of product updates. You 
can stay completely up-to-date with definitions while still using version
4.56.

Regards,

  I'm so happy to hear that other JAWS users are having trouble with the new 
Pro Super Anti-Spyware!  It installed the new version several days ago when 
I checked for updates after it hadn't done the usual daily scan for a couple 
days.  I was finally able to schedule a daily scan for my preferred time, 
but I couldn't tell it to let me do manual complete scans when I wanted and 
not to do them automatically.  The closest I could come was to let it do 
them one day a week.

  Does anyone know if with version 5 (Pro) for the item to quarantine and 
remove items does it remove them or put them in the quarantine vault so one 
can double check them before removing them?

  I was able to get the new Pro version to work with JAWS 10, but it was a 
bit easier with 12.

  If you use the link for the old interface, will  SAS still update new 
definitions etc.?

  Thanks,

  Margaret

  Hi David,

  The SAS 5.0 version is somewhat accessible, as we have both found out, but
  only if you are running Jaws11 or 12.  It is not accessible with any 
earlier
  versions.  Also, we have both learned that about the only part that is
  accessible is configuring scanning & programming schedules, but even doing
  these tasks' takes a lot of work using both the Jaws & PC cursors & left,
  right, up, & down arrowing.
Hopefully they will make the rest of the Interface accessible
as well.

Take care.

Hi Cliff,

I have been running MSSE & like it very much.  It runs in the background &

Re: [Blind-Computing] SuperAnti Spyware Pro users

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Margaret,

To do manual scanning you may have to go to the home page & uncheck the 
scheduled scanning box.

I had an open tech support ticket with SAS so I asked them the question you 
asked, but with a slight twist;

" If you use the link for the old Pro 4.56 interface, will  SAS still update 
new / latest definitions without updating the interface etc.? "

I will let everyone know the answer when I receive it.  Take care.

View

  Control Center (Preferences/Options), right arrow to Scanning Control Tab,

  mouse click it, then everything closes fine or, close it by pressing alt +

  malicious threats detected, but not with any earlier versions of Jaws.

Re: [Blind-Computing] re sending text messages from your pc usingyouremail clyant?

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Stewart,

Everything you need is below.  Steps & mobile phone extensions that are used 
in place of email addresses.  Read carefully.

The followin list of texting / email addresses were gotten from the website
below;

http://www.emailtextmessages.com/

The following came to me from another list, hope this
answers some questions.

Chris Munoz wrote in an interesting post on Blindtech this
week.  He told us how to send text messages via email.  If
you don't have a text message plan, you can still send text
messages and receive replies in your email.  You just need
the recipients phone number and their cell provider.

If you're friends number is 5552223113, and they are with
tmobile, send an email to:

5552223...@tmomail.net

You can add a subject and put the message in the body of the
email form.

They receive the text message and, when they reply, it comes
to your inbox.  Here are the email suffixes you add to the phone numbers for
each provider:

Re: [Blind-Computing] change of service provider

Hi Yvonne,

I don't have fibre optic service, but I know people who do, & that stuff is 
fast!  whatever you are currently using, fibre optic is probably at least 10 
times as fast, if it is anything like the fibre optic that Verizon is 
running.
  Verizon is a company that provides telephone, television, & Internet 
service here in the United States.
  Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] SuperAnti Spyware Pro users

Hi David,

The SAS 5.0 version is somewhat accessible, as we have both found out, but 
only if you are running Jaws11 or 12.  It is not accessible with any earlier 
versions.  Also, we have both learned that about the only part that is 
accessible is configuring scanning & programming schedules, but even doing 
these tasks' takes a lot of work using both the Jaws & PC cursors & left, 
right, up, & down arrowing.
  Hopefully they will make the rest of the Interface accessible
  as well.

  Take care.

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

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Desiree,

This is not an answer, but merely a thought.  From my understanding, when 
you plug a USB headset in, Jaws sees the headset as the default sound card. 
Is it possible that the headset taking that little bit of electricity, & the 
hub not being plugged in, was just enough to keep the hub from working 
properly & not able to get enough power from the computer to run both the 
external drive & headset?  Or, was what happened just one of those flukey 
things that happen?!  Hopefully someone will have a more definitive answer. 
Take care.
Mike

  Hi,
  Well, I plugged the drive into my laptop and it recognized right away.
  I formatted it on the laptop and now things seem to be working fine. I
  now have both external drives plugged into the back of the computer.
  Thank you guys for your help.
  Now, I have a related question. The hub does have a power cord, but it
  didn't start giving me trouble even when it wasn't plugged into the
  wall until today when I tried to plug my headphones into it. I asked
  this same question on another list and someone responded back by
  saying that plugging an external drive and a pair of headphones into
  the same hub is a bad idea. Why would that be? I thought the point of
  a hub was so that you could plug multiple devices into it at once and
  not have to worry.

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

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Desiree,

Is this USB Hub only plug into the computer to get its power or, is it a 
powered USB Hub and plug into a wall outlet socket to have AC / 120 volt 
power as well?  If it is not a powered hub, the USB port might not be 
providing enough power to the Hub to sufficiently run the external drive. 
Have you tried plugging the 2nd external drive into a USB port by itself to 
see if it will work that way?  Hope you get this issue figured out!  I know 
just how frustrating it can be when things quit working for no explainable 
reason.  Take care.

  Doris sent along that Andre Lewis sound scape in a 7Z file format.  My
  Windows 7 system won't open it.

  What file can I use to do that?  I tried downloading RegWork but it 
doesn't
  seem to be accessible.

  Any help would be welcome.

Re: [Blind-Computing] 7 unzip

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Yvonne,

When using the 7Zip program, & you press enter on the add to archive option, 
to archive / compress a file, you are given 4 options of what you would like 
the file extension to be, or which method of compressing you would like to 
use.  They are as follows;
1. 7z.
2. tar.
3. wim.
4. zip.

If I have confused you as much as I did myself trying to explain this I do 
apologize!  LOL  LOL  Hope this might have helped, a little?!  Take care.

  Mike:
  This might not help but I am attempting to help. Here's what I found off 
of
  google.
  1. Sign in to your Windows Live Hotmail Account from
  Hotmail.
  2. Click on your name at the right-top of the home page of your Windows 
Live
  Page. You'll see a list popup. Select Account.
  3. You may be asked to sign in again. Enter your current password and 
click
  Sign in.
  4. In your Account Summary, just below the Password reset information
  heading, click on Change next to the starred password.
  5. A screen will appear where you will be asked to provide your old
  password. You will then be required to type in a new password and then
  retype it again
  for confirmation. Note: Make sure you enter a strong password. Passwords 
are
  case sensitive (so EXAMPLE, Example, and example are not the same).
  6. Click the Save button to
  save
   your new password. You will then be taken to the login page where you can
  now login with your new password.
  list end

  Recover a Forgotten Hotmail Password

  Someday, you may need to change/recover your Hotmail password because you
  have forgotten it. In order to recover your Hotmail password, follow the
  below
  steps:

  list of 4 items
  1. Go to
  Hotmail.
  Click on the Forgot your password? link just below the password text field
  on the sign-in from.
  2. You will be taken to a page where you need to enter an alternate email
  address and key-in the characters in the picture. The latter is to prove
  that
  you are a human being and not a
  computer
   program. Click on Continue.
  3. The password changing procedure's details will be sent to your 
alternate
  email address. Open the alternate mail box and click on the link under
  Confirm
  Request And Reset Password.
  4. Clicking the link will take you to a page which asks to enter the 
Hotmail
  ID, new password and retype the new password for confirmation. Click on
  Continue.
  You will be redirected to the login page for signing in.
  list end

  Make sure you choose your password carefully and keep it safe. If 
possible,
  do not write it down because it is easier for people to get access to it.
  Let
  it be your secret. To help protect your personal information, change your
  password regularly.

  And also, please remember that this changes your password for your Windows
  Live account, and will also affect all Windows Live services on which you
  use
  that account. This procedure is done via Hotmail, but if you use this
  account for Windows Live (MSN) Messenger or any of the other Windows Live
  services,
  this password change will apply to all of them.
  Hope this helps.

  Mike,

  If your file is a document file, Text Aloud has
  An excellent file splitting capability.
  That is not a free program but it happens
   to be very good.
  It uses SAPI 5 voices and a screen reader isn't necessary, once you learn
  the commands for normal use.
  With something like the splitter program, you will need your Jaws.

Hi Scorpio,

Thank you very much for the information on splitting files with 7Zip.  I 
have used 7Zip for quite awhile but, have never tried to split a file with 
it.  Thanks again, take care.

  Hi Mike,

  Both WinZip and WinRAR have the capability of splitting an archive into
  multiple parts.

  Once split, you can upload the various parts onto a file sharing service 
of
  your choice.

  For example, if you're going to be uploading to Send Space, you would 
split
  your zip archive into 299 megabytes in size.  Likewise, if you're going to
  upload a file to Rapid Share, you would split the archive into 100 
megabyte
  sizes.

  I'm not sure if 7ZIP has this capability, but it should say within the
  zipping interface, in addition to asking you how large you want to make 
the
  various parts.

  You do have to be careful though when you use 7ZIP.  The default zipping
  format 7ZIP uses is not extractable by all programs.  WinZip will extract
  it, however, the native WinZip utility pre-loaded with Windows does not 
have
  this capability, so if you're going to include the links to the various
  parts of your archive, you may want to include a link where one can obtain
  7ZIP.

  Hope this helps.

  Scorpio

Re: [Blind-Computing] Enabling Add--ons In Internet Explorer 8

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Sharon,

I am running XP but, you can give this a try.
1. Open Internet Explorer8, & press Alt + T, for tools.
2. Arrow down to Manage Add-ons, & press enteror, just press the letterA, to 
open Manage Add-ons after you press Alt + T.
3. When Manage Add-ons opens you should be on, Toolbars and Extensions, tab 
1 time to a combo-box, you want Currently loaded add-ons highlighted.
4. Tab 1 time & you will be in a list view.  Arrow up or down to select / 
highlight the add-on you want to work with.  Each time you highlight an 
add-on, Jaws will read the name of the add-on & will also tell you if it is 
enabled or disabled.
5. To enable a particular add-on, with the disabled add-on selected, tab 3 
times, Jaws will read enable, press the spacebar so, Jaws reads disable.  If 
you want to enable other add-ons, shift + tab 3 times back to add-on list 
view, select another disabled add-on, tab 3 times, & so on ...

After you have enabled all the add-ons you are going to, tab to close & 
press enter or spacebar.  Hope I haven't confused the hell out of you!  LOL

  I would standardly have done something like put it into a zip file since
  they can generally be generated in pieces of varying sizes, so you could,
  like in old days split a large file onto various stiffy (3 and a half 
inch)
  disks, but not 100% sure if 7zip can do this too easily - might have a 
look.

Hi Mister David & Mister Rick,

I thank you both very much for your responses.  This isn't something that I 
am actually wanting to do but, I read this question on another list and, 
although I've heard of splitting sound files, I've haven't heard anything 
about splitting up a program.  This question is more curiosity than anything 
else and not something I would actuaally attempt to do.  To me, trying to 
split up a program seems like it could possibly damage the program.  Thanks

2. Press the letter E=export.

3, Press enter on address book.

4, An export tool dialog will begin, you will have a list-view with text
file
(comma separated value) in the list.  Press space bar to select it.

5, Tab to export-button and press enter.

6, Your being asked what  you want to  save the exported file as, type in a
 file name with an extension of csv, for example; addressbook.csv
Tab and hit enter on next button.
You will be in an csv export dialog where it wants to know what fields you
want.
They will all already be selected, so just tab to the finish button and hit
enter.
It will tell you it has been exported, hit enter on okay.
Hit enter on the close button.

now, your addressbook will be saved in your documents.

you now need to import your contacts into MSOutlook2007.

if you need more help please let me no.

  install this add-on.

paarticular add-on that allows Webvisum to work with Firefox5.  Would you or 
someone else who has this information please post the information again?  I

Re: [Blind-Computing] Using Adobe Reader to read PDF files

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Anthony,

I have never had a look at the version you are running & therefore I 
wouldn't have a clue as where to look.  Your version may not even have such 
an option.  You could tab through every page to take a look but, starting 
with the General, & Security pages would probably be your best bet. 
Hopefully someone on the list is running the same program and will have an 
answer for you.  Take care.

  But that seems to be only in adobe reader? I'm running Adobe Acrobat X 
Pro.
  That item seems not to be under general. Any idea where it might be found?

  Many thanks.

Hi Francis,

I am not aware of any updates to Adobe 10.1. To check for updates, while in

Re: [Blind-Computing] Using Adobe Reader to read PDF files

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Francis,

  the latest version is Adobe Reader X.

  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 1 more setting 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 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.

Mike

Re: [Blind-Computing] Can I use the JAWS dictionary to notread Unicode characters?

Hi Chris,

Here's a thought.  How about instead of putting something into the 
replacement word field, assign a sound to the 8203 character.  Assign a 
sound that you can only hear if the volume is turned way up.  I haven't 
tried this but, it wouldn't hurt to give it a whirl.  Hope this helps.  Take

  Hi.  That's how I did it.  If I recall, I held down the alt key when I 
typed
  out 8203 and it created that character.  I then copied it to the JAWS
  dictionary.  But it wants me to put something in the edit field to replace
  it, and I used the space bar.  Unfortunately, then when JAWS reads a line
  with that character in it, since this character appears in the middle of
  words, it breaks up the word.  For example:

  "Hi, how is ever yone doing? Unfortunate y my comp uter has issues."

  If I could just get JAWS to ignore that Unicode character all together and
  just read as if it wasn't there.  But at least it's better than it was.
  Some sentences I still can't understand, but others I can figure out what 
it
  is supposed to say.  Thanks.

  Hi Chris,

  I was able to make what you are wanting to do work in Outlook Express &
  Word.  Below are the steps I used to do it.  I did use the default
  dictionary manager instead of 1 of the application dictionary managers.
  1. I created the "
  ? " & copied it to the clipboard.
  2. Pressed Insert / Jaws key + D, for the the application dictionary
  manager, & then pressed control, shift, + D, for the default dictionary
  manager.
  3. Tabbed to the Add button, pressed spacebar to open the Actual Word edit
  field, pressed the back space key a few times to make sure this edit field
  was empty, pasted the, "
  ? " character.
  4. Tabbed to the Replacement Word edit field, pressed the spacebar 1 time,
  tabbed to the okay button & pressed enter.
  5. Invoke the control + S keystroke to save, & Alt + F4 to close.

  This is how I created the " ? ."

  I turned the numlock off, held the alt key down, pressed 8, 2, 0, 3, let 
up
  on the alt key, & there was the " ? ".  I then copied it & went from 
there.
  If you are creating 8203 symbol differently please let me know & I'll try 
to

  duplicate what you're doing.  The " ? " is what I get when invoking the 
Alt
  + 8203 keystroke and I'm curious if you're getting a different symbol. 
Take

  care.

Hi.  Turns out I was able to create the Unicode character 8203 in Word. 
I
then was able to copy it and put it into the JAWS dictionary.

However, I'm stuck once again.  It requires I put something in the edit
field for it to be spoken as.  But to just use the spacebar doesn't work
because then it splits up the voicing of words since this Unicode
  character
randomly appears in the middle of words on Facebook.

What I'm trying to do is have JAWS totally ignore character 8203 as if 
it
wasn't on the screen at all.  But if I have to put something, even a
  space,
in the field for how I want it to be spoken, it's still speaking
incorrectly.  Not sure what to try next.

If I can just figure out a way to have JAWS ignore this character, then 
my
Facebook struggles will be over, at least in this particular case.
-Original Message-

Hi Chris,

If you can't copy the character there will be no way to put an entry 
into
the dictionary manager for it.  I made a mistake when I said the ASCII
character 8203 was a, mail symbol. I used the word mail, spelled,M, A, 
I,
  L.

It is actually supposed to be, M, A, L, E, as in a man's symbol.  I did 
an
ASCII character 8204, & it is a female symbol.  I have no idea what or 
how
Facebook works since I am not involved with any Social Networking 
groups.
  I

do certainly hope that you can get the problem resolved but, from the 
way
  it

looks the dictionary manager won't be of any help.  Take care.

My guess would be that the criteria that was used from an old Daily Oldie

Hi.  Turns out I was able to create the Unicode character 8203 in Word. 
I
then was able to copy it and put it into the JAWS dictionary.

However, I'm stuck once again.  It requires I put something in the edit
field for it to be spoken as.  But to just use the spacebar doesn't work
because then it splits up the voicing of words since this Unicode
  character
randomly appears in the middle of words on Facebook.

What I'm trying to do is have JAWS totally ignore character 8203 as if 
it
wasn't on the screen at all.  But if I have to put something, even a
  space,
in the field for how I want it to be spoken, it's still speaking
incorrectly.  Not sure what to try next.

If I can just figure out a way to have JAWS ignore this character, then 
my
Facebook struggles will be over, at least in this particular case.

Hi Chris,

If you can't copy the character there will be no way to put an entry 
into
the dictionary manager for it.  I made a mistake when I said the ASCII
character 8203 was a, mail symbol. I used the word mail, spelled,M, A, 
I,
  L.

It is actually supposed to be, M, A, L, E, as in a man's symbol.  I did 
an
ASCII character 8204, & it is a female symbol.  I have no idea what or 
how
Facebook works since I am not involved with any Social Networking 
groups.
  I

do certainly hope that you can get the problem resolved but, from the 
way
  it

looks the dictionary manager won't be of any help.  Take care.
Mike

  HI.  When I read current line, what it says Is question mark, or

  it acts like a question mark and makes the word sound like it's asking 
a

  But if I put the cursor on this character, it says absolutely nothing.
Not
  even blank.  It's completely silent.  But if I hit the current 
character
key
  three times, it tells me that it's ASCKI character 8 2 zero 3.

  I tried to copy this character, but it just says "nothing selected".
  So,
as

  I can barely read statuses on the mobile site of Facebook anymore

[Blind-Computing] Can I use the JAWS dictionary to notread Unicode characters?

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Chris,

I was able to make what you are wanting to do work in Outlook Express & 
Word.  Below are the steps I used to do it.  I did use the default 
dictionary manager instead of 1 of the application dictionary managers.
1. I created the "
♂ " & copied it to the clipboard.
2. Pressed Insert / Jaws key + D, for the the application dictionary 
manager, & then pressed control, shift, + D, for the default dictionary 
manager.
3. Tabbed to the Add button, pressed spacebar to open the Actual Word edit 
field, pressed the back space key a few times to make sure this edit field 
was empty, pasted the, "
♂ " character.
4. Tabbed to the Replacement Word edit field, pressed the spacebar 1 time, 
tabbed to the okay button & pressed enter.
5. Invoke the control + S keystroke to save, & Alt + F4 to close.

This is how I created the " ♂ ."

I turned the numlock off, held the alt key down, pressed 8, 2, 0, 3, let up 
on the alt key, & there was the " ♂ ".  I then copied it & went from there. 
If you are creating 8203 symbol differently please let me know & I'll try to 
duplicate what you're doing.  The " ♂ " is what I get when invoking the Alt 
+ 8203 keystroke and I'm curious if you're getting a different symbol.  Take 
care.
Mike

Re: [Blind-Computing] how do I get my control panel to read with firstletter navigation in windows 7 home premium?

[Mike & Barbara In Arcadia]

Hi Jim,

Below are some notes that I have saved on your issue just in case I got the 
nerve to graduate to Windows7.

From: Ann Byrne
This is from Inthane's grab bag of windows 7 amazing things:

tentive instructions:
go into control panel, tab to appearances and personalization, and
enter on it.
now tab to task bar and start menu.   and enter on it.
now control tab to start menu tab, go to "customize", scroll down to
"control panel", and instead of
"display as a link" check "display as a menu". You will get a list of
control menu items.

Subject: Re: [blindwindows7] Control Panel
Date: Wednesday, August 04, 2010 3:50 AM

You can set it to show as a menu. Here's how to do it:
1. Press alt+enter on anywhere but the desktop. Try the start button.
2. Ctrl+tab to the start menu page and click the customize button.
3. Down arrow to Control Panel, make sure it is opened, down arrow to
display as menu, press space to turn it on, tab to ok button and
activate it.
Hope this helps.

From: Don Marang
I do not think it is possible to view the Control Panel as a list in
Windows 7.  It is possible to view it as a grid of icons.  At least in
this view, first letter navigation works.

Do the following:

1.  Open the Control Panel.

2.  Press Control + e, to get to the Search box.

3.  Tab once to what is labeled the "Category" button.

4.  Press Space on this button.  It is actually a drop down list.  Arrow
down to "Large icons", and press Enter.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
*Don Marang*

From: "tim" <
z200...@gmail.com>
Yes, you just check list in view menu and its the same in folder
options. They did add a few more to the view tab menu list, but still 
doable.
Tim

Hope these notes help fix your problem.  Take care.

  I am wondering how come no one has recommended just going to the check

  It seems to still work without any problems from what I can tell.
  I believe this is simpler than going to the website all of the time as

  Am I missing something? :)

  Unless you need to download the Adobe program onto your system,  I
  believe this is the easier way to go.
  I am using Jaws 8 with Windows XP Home SP3, and it downloads and installs
