[Blind-Computing] resolved/Re: Problem with webvism
Hi Bharat, I am using the current version of Webvism. I did as you did and still nothing. I had a sighted person look at the page and he said there was something obscuring the CAPTCHA image when viewing the page with Firefox. So he couldn't even solve the CAPTCHA in Firefox, we had to bring the page up in I.E. and he read the CAPTCHA to me. Anyway, I'm glad I got it taken care of, and thanks for your input.

Hi Jacob, Yes, I am connected to webvism, and Firefox indicates same when I start the browser. Following your steps, I am getting the same result as I originally posted. Any other suggestions?

Re: [Blind-Computing] makeing a compilation cd
I think I can help here. CDex is used mostly for ripping CDs; i.e. taking files from a CD and putting them on a computer. There is a setting in CDex where one can have CDex automatically select all files when a CD is inserted. So, if you want to take tracks from several CDs to make a compilation disk, you'll either have to change that CDex setting or keep in mind that you'll have to unselect tracks you don't want to rip. The send to option one sees after hitting the Applications Key will not show up if you are trying it while in a track list in CDex. You would need to be in a folder, such as My Music, for the send to option to appear. Sorry for the long post, HTH...

If you have 10 on your computer then this should work. It looks like a lot to do, but it really isn't. Good luck ... 1. select tracks that you want to make into an audio cd, and copy them all into an empty folder. 2. Press control A to select all the files in that folder, and then control C to copy them. 3. Put a CDR disk in the drive. If your computer is configured to show a dialogue box after a few moments prompting you to choose an action, tab to the cancel button and press the spacebar; or arrow down to "Take No Action" and press enter. 4. Go to My Computer; press enter on your cd burner. Once the burner opens, JAWS will say, list view, zero items. Paste your files here with control V. (Give it time to copy the files into the burner list) 5. You can now arrow up and down through the files to make sure they are in the order you want them to burn. If not, you can delete the file that is out of order by arrowing to that file and pressing your delete key. Then go back to the original file you copied the files from, select the file you'd like to put back into the CD burner where you want it.

[Blind-Computing] Password Agent and associated issues
Hi group, I installed Password Agent a week or so ago and decided to uninstall it because I didn't like the functionality. I now believe that the program has messed with my entire system because I am unable to access sites where I must enter a password. All I set up with Password Agent was the Master Password, I gave it no other information. Is anyone familiar with Password Agent? Does simply installing the free version eliminate all my passwords? I know this sounds crazy, but I'm at a loss here as to where to go with this, short of contacting every admin on every site I need to get into that has password access. Thanks everybody...

Re: [Blind-Computing] WinTrans not translating
Hi Arianna, I installed Win Trans a week or so ago and tried the program once and got about the same result you did. I was attempting to translate a brf file into text and only got 4 lines of gibberish at the top of the document. I wonder if somehow the download got corrupted. I guess I don't know what we should do, except maybe to uninstall and do a reinstall and see if that helps. Regards, Norma At 09:19 AM 1/22/2010, you wrote: I just installed WinTrans into my computer and when I press the translate button the program won't translate the text file into braille. Any suggestions?

[Blind-Computing] Opening drives in My Computer
Hi group, I'm using Win XP and am having difficulty opening drives under My Computer. When I go to a drive letter and hit enter, I get a search box rather than a list of folders and files in the drive. If I want to open the drive, I need to bring up the context menu and hit open just to open the drive. Would someone please tell me how I can resolve this issue?

Will it work on w seven? -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike & Barbara Sent: Sunday, January 17, 2010 3:31 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Question about deletingaddresses whenforwarding email Hi Don, Below are the steps that I typed up for someone who had never used Email Stripper so, they are a little long winded. Email Stripper has a Hot Key built in so, it can be accessed quickly. The Hot Key is control, alt, + E. 1. Open the Email and press control + F to forward it. 2. Enter to whom you are sending the Email to. 3. Tab to the subject line and press the home/7 key to take the cursor to the beginning of the line 4. Press the delete key to remove any FW: stuff that is in front of the message title. 5. Tab to the edit field. 6. Press the control + A keys to select the whole message. Now , press control + C to copy the whole message to the clipboard. 7. Open the Email Stripper program. 8. Tab 1 time, Jaws will say "paste". Press the space bar to paste the message into the Email Stripper program. 9. Shift tab 1 time, Jaws will say "strip it". Press the space bar to strip the Email of the computer language crap. 10. Shift tab 1 time, Jaws will say "edit". 11. Press control +home/7 keys to take the cursor to the top of the page. 12. Arrow down to the first line of the message and arro up once to give yourself some space if possible. 13. Press the home/7 key to take the cursor to the beginning of the line. 14. Press the control + home/7 keys to select from the cursor to the top of the page and press the delete key to clean the top of the message. 15. Press the control + end/1 keys to take the cursor to the bottom of the page. 16. Arrow up to the last line of the message and arro down once or twice to give yourself a little room. 17. Press the home/7 key to take the cursor to the beginning of the line. 18. Press control, shift, + end/1 keys to select the text from there to the bottom of the page and press the delete key to remove the crap at the bottom of the message. 19. You can proofread the message if you like to make sure it is the way you want it. 20. Shift tab and Jaws will say "copy". Press space bar to copy the message. 21. Press Alt + F4 to close the Email Stripper program after you have copied the message. 22. You should be back to your original message. Now press control + A to select everything here and press delete to erase that message because you are going to put a new message in here. 23. Press the control + V keys to paste the message you had cleaned up earlier using the Email Stripper program. 24. Now you can send as usual. I know this sounds like a lot of steps but, after you get the hang of it, it is really simple. Trust me. People will totally appreciate the fact that you are sending them clean Emails. Using this program will not disturb any clickable links that may be in the message. Hope this helps. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] system to go
The run option should show up on the start menu. On my XP Home machine, I bring up the start menu, hit R and the run dialogue opens.
