Re: [Blind-Computing] Modification to the guidelines
Hi Alan, If we don't draw the line somewhere, this list will be nothing more than a copy of the blind-tech list, which was not my desire when I created this list in 2007. At the time the list was started,the focus was laptops and desktop PCs and their peripherals. Now that the list belongs to Dave, he will always have the final say in any decision and the management team will follow his lead. If you think about it, technically, most of todays electronics can be considered computers of sorts, but they are not within the scope of this list. Cel phones may be used for many things these days, but they are still phones. HTH, Richard Q.

[Blind-Computing] List Reminder
If you want to post to the list, and are not sure if your post is on-topic, then you need to contact the management team to find out before posting. Simply putting off-topic in the subject line, does not make it alright to post. This also applies to the posting of articles and goods and services for sale. Additionally, send any questions or concerns to the management team, and not the list. Thank you, Richard Q.

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc) Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. Also do not include any member names in the subject line. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! 12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them.

I know you can save it as another kind of file, but I'd like to try the Adobe reader and see how it does. Is there any kind of tutorial or guid that tells you how to do things step by step?

If you know anyone else that has a iPhone let them know about this. Patti Users got more than an improved Siri and the new Passbook app when they upgraded to iOS 6. Apple's latest mobile OS has given advertisers a brand new way to track your Web surfing. It's called Identifiers for Advertisers, or IFA. When you upgrade your existing gadget - or buy a new iPhone 5 - that gadget will be assigned a random IFA number. When you look at a Web page or an app, advertisers see your number and the site you were browsing. Once they know that, it suddenly becomes easy for them to target ads directly to you. Apple hasn't advertised this feature much, so not many people know how to turn it off. Plus, the setting isn't where you'd expect. You have to go to Settings General About Advertising. Look for the section labeled Limit Ad Tracking. Confusingly, by default this is set to Off. In order to stop advertisers from seeing your unique number, you have to switch the slider to On. Advertisers have tons of annoying ways to track you online. Here are three more ways you can opt out. list of 3 items . Tracking cookies can tell advertisers tons of information about your browsing. Protect your browser from them. . Some advertisers give you a way to opt-out of tracking automatically. I'll show you how. Turn on Do Not Track on IE 9 Do Not Track is an easy way to tell advertisers you're not interested in them tracking you. This handy website allows you do it on Internet Explorer. Simply load the site and follow the instructions. Once you're done, any sites that have agreed to honor Do Not Track will no longer track you. Fewer advertisers will grab your personal information when you post on social media. Not only does this site help you turn on Do Not Track, it will show you whether you've done it properly. It displays a graph that will show you whether Do Not Track is enabled on your browser. ie.microsoft.com A hug - is a sign of love. A laugh - is a sign of happiness. And a friend like me?

So it really needs to be SAPI 5 compatible. Any suggestions for a good English voice? I'm also looking for a better Norwegian voice but that's currently not a high priority. Thanks!

Can anybody on the list give idea of the 'Temp' folder. And my actual doubt is 'what merits / demerits / issues we need to face if we delete the files or delete the temp folder' If we have any issues, how to fix them. 2. When I installed NVDA 2011.3, I'mn't able hear the voice of NVDA, but when I load some other program, I hear and do only hear the beep sound. 3. I installed WE 7.5.2 in my system, but I get error saying that I cannot uninstall it when I tried to uninstall it. Can anybody on the list suggest me how to tackle with the issues Thanks and regards, Silpa. -- Message: 3 Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2011 07

In recent days, I have un-subscribed several members, for not following the guidelines regarding messages. As I mentioned several months ago, this is the manner in which improper postings will be handled. The reason for this, is that folks continue to post to the list, disregarding the list guidelines. I started doing this because it takes less time to un-subscribe someone than it does to sit and write messages like this one. So, it would be to everyone's benefit to actually read the list guidelines, and understand them before asking a question, or answering one. If you become un-subscribed, don't write to Dave privately, that doesn't carry any weight, instead, as is stated in the list guidelines, direct to the management team any concerns, that way all of us will know what is going on. This is the last reminder! Thank you, Richard Q.

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc) Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. Also do not include any member names in the subject line. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! 12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them.

Re: [Blind-Computing] digital signature
Some people just can't help themselves, and those are the ones that aren't welcome here. I just mentioned last week that people that like to belittle, or talk down to others need to have the decency to do it directly to those people off-list, and if they couldn't do that they should leave, or we would show them the door. Dave is a little under the weather right now, , but he would agree that the actions of this individual are not in line with the intended spirit in which the list was built.

It looks like you can create multiple signatures but, when you want to assign a certain sigmnature to a certain email address that you would go into Tools, Options, control + tab to the Signature tab, tab a couple times until you hear, signature list , list view , then arrow up down this list to select which signature you want to use for the email address of choice press enter on okay. Then, when you want to change your signature you do the above steps again. Now, let me preface this by saying, this is how I assume changing signatures works, because I haven't actually done it.

Over Ten Thousand Stations - Original Message - From: David davidwhitehead1...@cogeco.ca To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 7:44 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Radio? Sure! Over Ten Thousand Stations Radio? Sure! Over Ten Thousand Stations Document Source: Fred's Head from www.aph.org It's no secret that I love internet radio and streaming music over the web. I am still amazed that you can click a button and hear radio stations from the other side of the world. I've found another Windows only application that is screen reader-friendly and will tune into more than twelve thousand stations! If you can't find something to listen to, you're probably not looking hard enough. The following directions from the AccessContent Blog will have you listening in minutes! http://blog.accesscontent.ca/archive/2010/10/20/online-radio-revisited.aspx Launching Radio Sure: If you've been successful with the install, the program should launch automatically afterwards. An online radio station should start playing. First thing to do is stop the music and configure a few things. TAB through the screen until you hear play Button. Press the SPACEBAR and the stream will stop. TAB to options and press the SPACEBAR to activate the option pages. General Tab: Remember, you can move between the tab pages by pressing CONTROL+TAB. A few things you might consider modifying in the general tab. . Whether you want the program to start with windows. Don't see the advantage of this, as I'd rather control when it's playing. . Whether you want a stream to start playing when you launch the program. . And my favourite, Global hotkeys. I would urge you to enable this, as it then gives you the option of controlling RadioSure from anywhere. See Global Hotkey List at the bottom of this entry. . Minimize the program to the system tray is handy, as it takes it out of the way. You can summon it back to the foreground with one of the global hotkeys listed below. We will skip the Skins tab, as it makes no difference to screen readers. Recording Tab: Yes, you can record the streams with this program. One thing you might consider changing on this tab: . The recording folder. The default is to put it within a folder called music under the RadioSure program. You can point this folder to any folder of your choice with the unlabelled browse button. You can look around the other options on this tab at your leisure. The Advanced Tab: . You can choose your preferred audio device. Leave this one alone, unless you are having audio issues, or prefer to use a specific device. . I'd suggest checking the Always show station in the window title, so you can easily hear the station name by pressing INSERT+T withmost screen readers. . I'd uncheck Show pictures related to songs, but that's just personal preference. Press SPACEBAR on the OK button and the setup is complete. Yay! Let's start listening and finding radio stations. The Main Window: The first area on the program window is the list of all stations; over 12000 from across the globe. No non-terrestrial station as of yet, but who knows. Navigate this list with the UP and DOWN ARROWS. PRESS ENTER to start playing. Volume Control: TABBING brings you to the volume control. It's independent from the system volume, which means it will not interfere with the screen reader levels. Use Page up/Page DOWN for 20 percent increments. Use LEFT and RIGHT ARROWS for 5 percent increments. And finally, use UP and DOWN ARROWS for 3 percent increments. Searches: Another press of the TAB will bring you to the search area. Simply type a station name, a genre or even radio call letters and the station list will be populated with the results. No need to even press ENTER when done. Press SHIFT+TAB twice to get back to the modified listing. To get back to the full list of stations, erase the search term. Those are the main features of Radio Sure and should give you a good base to get started. All in all, a nifty little program if you like listening to online radio, but are too lazy to go surfing the web to find them all. As promised, here are the global hotkeys. They make using the program even sweeter. . (Shift + Alt + H) toggle hide/show Radio Sure . (Shift + Alt + Number pad Plus) volume down . (Shift + Alt + Number pad Minus) volume up . (Shift + Alt + M) Mute . (Shift + Alt + P) toggle Play/Stop . (Shift + Alt + S) Stop . (Shift + Alt + B) Back . (Shift + Alt + N) Next . (Shift + Alt + R) start/stop Recording.

AppRiver is reporting a new threat that falls into this latter category--a fake DHL shipping receipt designed with a malicious file attachment. DHL is not as recognizable in the United States as FedEx, or UPS, or plain old US Post Office shipping, but it is still an easily identified brand. On a global scale, DHL is better known, and there is a fair chance--although not significantly high--that any random e-mail recipient may have either shipped something with DHL, or may be expecting a shipment from DHL, and those are the users that are most likely to fall victim to this ploy. the message translates roughly to, Due to an error in the shipping direction, we were unable to deliver your package. It can be picked up at the post office, but first you must print the postal label attached to this email. Clicking on the file attachment results in opening a compressed folder. The victim then must open the folder and execute the malicious file it contains in order for the attack to work. Sounds convoluted, but you'd be surprised how effective it can be. Years of malware scams have proven that there are more than enough gullible users on the Internet--gullible users who speak Spanish and are expecting a DHL shipment. With the recent focus on the , the , and the , it's easy to forget that rudimentary attacks like this work just fine as well. are another effective method of propagating malware that are being used effectively in recent malware attacks. Let's recap the common sense approach to avoiding malware attacks like this fake DHL shipping notification. A) If you don't speak Spanish, just delete it. B) If you do speak Spanish, but you aren't expecting a DHL shipment, just delete it. C) If you speak Spanish, and you're expecting a DHL shipment, think for a second about the poorly written message and whether or not DHL would actually send such a thing. D) Remind yourself that no reputable company will send you an email with a file attachment like this. Bottom line--delete the e-mail. If you speak Spanish and you're expecting a DHL shipment and you honestly feel it could be legitimate, delete the e-mail, then visit the DHL Web site or give it a call and check on the status of your package.

Please read them carefully, repeat offenders will be removed from the list without further notice. Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted.

Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts!

If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly.

This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. 8.

If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! 12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them.

I am offended at such posts because they are urban legends which are just passed on to people who know no better. I am that age myself. Both penicillin and television, and cocaine did exist. In 1947 the first television station aired in our town. I knew a man who purchased one in 1947. When I was a young child I saw an electric typewriter, and tasted instant coffee. many parents weren't married when their children were born. Proving illegitimacy existed in 1951. The dollar was worth more then. But what does that prove. When long distance calls weren't often placed because their cost was prohibitive. In fact they had to be encouraged by the telephone company. The reason stamps cost so much more now days is because so much business is done on line. Nullifying the need for stamps. When I was born in 1951, there was no SSI or SSDi either. We blind had to depend on whatever the individual states decided would be our stipend. Which meant most of us never did live lives independently from our parents. The disabled in America were still forcibly sterilized. In winter, if you didn't have money to pay your gas and your electric bill you were allowed to freeze to death. There were those in this country who lived without central heating or indoor plumbing. Just because marijuana wasn't called grass didn't mean it wasn't used. There were limited resources for drug rehabilitation if they existed at all. There were no emission standards for automobiles. So one had to breathe all the exhaust from all the cars. Not to mention all the second hand smoke. There were advertising slogans such as Why not have a Lucky instead of a sweet. After one got cancer from all the junk one breathed, there was no chemo therapy. Cancer was pretty far advanced before it was detected. There was no sonography. There was no microsurgery to save lives of fetuses. Believe me, you could tell when you entered a city verses leaving the suburbs just by smelling the exhaust fumes. It was not uncommon for women and children to be beaten without censure by anyone. Racial segregation still existed. And in at least 15 states marriage between the races was forbidden by law. If marriages between the races occurred both the couple as well as the person performing the marriage was fined up to 500 dollars. Pole taxes were levied, and if they couldn't be paid by poorer people, those poorer people just didn't vote in southern states. There were also literacy tests conducted to determine voter eligibility. A white voter was asked to sign his name or to read a simple passage. While a black potential voter was given a section of the constitution to interpret. The Church bombing killing four young innocent black children occurred in 1964. This was 13 years past 1951. in either 63 or 62, I can't remember which The governor of Alabama stood in the doorway of a state institution of higher learning and said: Segregation now, and Segregation forever. Blacks on vacation were forced to eat in their cars because they weren't served in southern establishments. Black children weren't allowed to go to the same holiday events as were white children. Even in northern cities Black women weren't allowed to try on hats in department stores, because it was believed they might have lice. Ghettos existed. Even where they didn't many people refused to rent to people with children. Ethnic jokes were common, and many clubs prohibited Jews and Catholics entrance. Lynchings were still conducted. With the body parts of the lynched victim handed out as trophies. Can anyone say Emmett Till. Or is his story forgotten. I fear it is. At least by the person forwarding this post. No matter how old black adults were they were often called boy or girl by southerners. Rather than sir, as the post suggests. The older blacks were called Uncle or Aunt. Black blind college aged students were never sent to college by their states. Rather, they were funneled into the sheltered workshops, or told a viable employment plan was to sell pencils and or magazines on the streets. My late Husband's black blind Aunt did such in that year. Native Americans were forbidden by law to drink hard licker. This ban wasn't lifted till 1954. So next time you want

Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7.

If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! 12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Error Message after log-in with Windows 7
I have changed the subject line to reflect the topic being discussed. Please be more specific with your subject line. I just posted a reminder on this within the last day. Please refer to the list guidelines. Thank you, Richard Q. Justice-list moderator blind-computing@jaws-users.com jaws-users-l...@jaws-users.com - Original Message - From: Kimsan blindgu...@gmail.com To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 12:37 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] help please Hi, I have a problem and I have been looking all day to see how to resolve this issue but I am not making any waves. The situation is that after I log into windows on my windows 7 64 bit machine using the latest build of jfw 11, I receive the following errors. HPAdvisor.exe - Bad Image C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\MSCOREE.DLL is either not designed to run on graphic 775 Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. OK. So right here I would press space bar on the ok button and this message comes up. MOM.exe - Bad Image C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\MSCOREE.DLL is either not designed to run on graphic 775 Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. OK. Finally, I would press space bar on the ok button and this last message comes up. HPWAMain.exe - Bad Image C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\MSCOREE.DLL is either not designed to run on graphic 775 Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. OK. What in the world should I do?

Re: [Blind-Computing] a question about Belarc Advisor
I wanted to change the subject line, since a question, subject line is not informative. It is beneficial to everyone to be more descriptive with your subject lines, because someone with the answer may very well ignore such a vague subject. Also, having descriptive subject lines makes browsing the list archives so much easier. Richard Q.
