Re: [Blind-Computing] how much memory will windows xp actually recognize?
Weird! Thank you very much! Maybe I'll get a different tech, this time a friend who will look at it for free or for a meal out, to double check on it. If you or anyone else has tips on how to force windows to recognize it, that would be very much appreciated. If not, hopefully my friend will know something this other tech didn't, or I'll just blame it on the extra memory on the video card and try to move on with life.

My old card had 256 mb of ram on it, and the new card supposedly has 512 mb of ram on it. I had a company come and install the new video card last Wednesday. Prior to the change in video card, I would have sworn that my computer was recognizing 3.0 gb of ram. I had read on more than one occasion that win XP, especially the 32 bit version simply won't recognize the full 4 GB of ram I chose to install when I built my system, and was OK with that. After the change in video card, however, my system is only recognizing 2.5 GB of ram. The technician actually came back out to investigate, as I was convinced that a ram chip may have come lose during the installation of the video card. As it turns out, all of my memory is physicly fine; is recognized by the motherboard and by software like cpuz with no problem. The tech informed me that the decrease actually happened when I installed sp3, but I can't help thinking that this is inaccurate, since, like I said above, I am pretty sure that I can remember having 3.0 gb of ram before the video card change. I realize that on the whole, the ram decrease probably isn't a big deal, but it does seem that JFW loads a bit slower when I start my system.

[Blind-Computing] changing video cards
Hi! I'm pretty sure this has been discussed more than once, but can't remember any answers that may have been given, so I'll throw the question out to you all and see what happens. (smile.) For reasons too stupid and complicated to go into right now, I'm planning to change the video card in my computer some time over the next couple of months. Are there any considerations i will need to take into account for JFW, or will it just reinstall its video manager thingy after the video card swap. Basicly, I'd be swapping out 1 nvidea dx-10 card for a different model. Thanks in advance for any advice you may have, and I hope that everyone is having a really great day!

Re: [Blind-Computing] Computer slowed down drastically
Hi! This might be a long shot, but I had a similar problem with my new computer about a year ago. If you have a creative sound card, you might check for a program called dllml. It slows everything down a lot, and from what I understand, Creative has done away with it now. Anyway, as soon as I got rid of that, my computer started working beautifully again.

Re: [Blind-Computing] strange issue with youtube videos
Hi! You might find it easier to add videos you like to your bookmarks list. That's the way I do it when there are videos I want to watch over again but don't have the time/energy to actually save their files. Good luck, and I hope this helps. Missy - Original Message - From: "jason smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, June 27, 2008 3:51 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] strange issue with youtube videos Hi list, wonder if anyone has experienced the following problem. I will find some youtube videos that I like. I know we can't directly download them to our desktops without using a third party software. I am currently getting used to how to do that. In the meantime, I have been going into the file menu and choosing save as, and then saving the video as a web archive single file. This puts it in my documents. This obviously is not the actual video, but just serves as a quick link for me back to the video. The problem I have noticed is as follows. I can watch the video a few times. If I later come back to it, youtube gives a message saying "this video is no longer available". At first, I just thought it had been deleted for some reason, and so didn't think more of it. However, if I go into history in Internet explorer, I can find the video no problem, and it plays fine. I can then resave it through the file menu and it is back in my documents. However, some of the videos will play, while others might give the "unavailable" message again. However, like I said, if I go into the history again, I can play the videos fine. I know I will save myself some grief, when I learn how to download youtube videos onto my desktop. I was just wondering, if there is a reason why they will always play if selected from the history, but seem to expire when chosen from my documents?

Re: [Blind-Computing] About wireless speakers
Hi! I'll try to get someone to tell me the manufacturer name of my speaker. it's a really generic brand, but as I said, it works great. The speaker itself runs on 4 C batteries, and the transmitter can either run on the provided AC adapter or on AA batteries; I don't remember how many batteries the transmitter takes because I'm using it with an adapter right now. Next time I have a sighted friend around, I will try to remember to get the brand name for you. I found the speaker on Ebay, and could try to search for it again if you want. I paid $80 for mine, which included shipping.

Re: [Blind-Computing] About wireless speakers
Hi! I just got a wireless speaker that might be of interest. It uses the 900 MHZ band, and even though I have a cordless phone that also uses that band, there hasn't been any real interference. I'm not sure of the manufacturer of the speaker I have, but it's weather resistant, and has really good sound. Both the speaker and it's transmitter are capable of running on batteries, so it's probably the most portable sollution you're ever going to find. I hope this helps a little, and that you're having a great day.

[Blind-Computing] Problem installing Openbook 7.02 update
Hello, all. I apologize in advance if some of you already received this message on the blindtech list, but I wanted to send my question to as many appropriate lists as I could think of in hopes of finding someone that can help me resolve this issue. Now that I've got my new computer up and running, I decided to install my openbook 7.0 CD. I had no problem with the install, but when I tried applying the Openbook 7.02 update, I received the following error message. Cannot Install Update The version information for the current version of OpenBook could not be found. Setup will now abort. OK I downloaded the 367 MB update file from Freedom Scientific's web site, so am not sure why it wouldn't install. I remember having this same error occur on my old computer system, but I never actively pursued getting the issue resolved when I first encountered it. Now that I've got my new computer and the Officejet 6200 scanner, though, I would really like to have openbook available to use, and I would really like to update to version 7.02, because I remember from back when I was still running under Windows 98 that that version was significantly more responsive than plain old version 7.0. Is there a documented bug that won't allow the update to install under windows xp? I wrote to Freedom Scientific about this as well, but thought it couldn't hurt to post to this list as someone may have encountered this problem and found a way around it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have, and I hope that everyone is having a really great day!

Re: [Blind-Computing] MOTHER BOARDS
Hi! I'm using an Abit motherboard, the quad GT, and although I've only had it for a week, it seems to be doing fairly well. Abit also just came out with another board, the ip35 pro, which is an ATX board with 3 PCI slots and support for Intel's newest processors. A small part of me wishes that I would have known the new board was coming out so soon; I would have put off my computer purchase for 1 more month. Anyway, the quad GT seems to be a good board; I simply can't imagine how the motherboard is in any direct way responsible for any of the minor JFW focus and sluggishness issues I'm experienceing with my new system. I know you were asking about Asus boards, but I just wanted to share about the Abit board because it seems to be a really good choice so far.
