Now for the challenge and hopefully some list advice. Since it is an Acer computer the unit came with XP preinstalled along with a bunch of stuff. So I do not have a driver disk with all necessary drivers for the system. I know I could go with a Win 7 upgrade but I have never been a proponent of that. I feel that is just asking to migrate any issues I've ever had on the XP box into the Win 7 OS. I favor a clean install over a freshly formatted drive. I believe in the past I had read of some software available that could be run on an existing OS and copy all necessary drivers to an export file or CD?

Re: [Blind-Computing] How do I saveandcopymusic filesand otherfilesto A USB Flash Drive?
If memory serves me correctly, To play music files from the cartridge, you may need to create a folder named: audio+podcasts and put the files in it. You cannot shuffle the files playing, they will play in order.

I've got some mp3 files I want to store there, and I was able to create a folder a week or so ago, but couldn't find it today. So I tried creating another one, but couldn't seem to do it the same way. I guess I need to have a better understanding of where and how to create new folders. I thought I needed to open "Libraries," and create them there. Today, I saw the usual folders--documents, music, video, and something else, but as I stated earlier, I couldn't seem to create a new folder. Ideally, I'd like to have an "Audio" folder under the "Libraries" folder. Any clarification much appreciated. Dave From: Steve Easiest way is to just do as you always did for Xp. You can go to the directory where you want to create the folder by browsing from Windows Explorer which you open with control-E. Hit alt-f for file, w for the new submenu, and arrow to folder. The library is there for a centralized spot where you can find all the files of a given type. Each library type, for pictures, documents, music etc. has its own default location. However, the library actually just points to the location of the various files of that type; in other words, you could have several spots where you have pictures - on your documents folder under mypictures, possibly at some location on-line like a facebook album, etc. and you could have the pictures library point to all those pics no matter where they are. If you open the library for my music, you can see or change the default location. But, you don't need to store your mp3's there. You can store them in your default music folder under documents, username, mymusic I think it is called. Steve From: Gene You can make folders in libraries or you can make folders while wor

Re: [Blind-Computing] DVD drives missing.
Hi Carliss, 2 things come to mind here, which I can't imagine happening without user participation, although I have seen stranger things happen with a computer. 1. The view in folder options has changed, or 2. the drives have been disabled. Look at the view first, here's how: 1. while in, "Computer", go to the tools menu, and then folder options, and hit enter. 2. you will be on the general tab, so shift tab once, and then right arrow once until you hear, View tab. 3. Tab to the tree-view, and then hit the letter H, and then down arrow to: Hide empty drives in the Computer folder This should be turned off, and the spacebar will toggle the state of this control. If you need to change this, do so, then tab to apply, and then okay to close the dialogue. Now, even if your computer view is set to category, the drives should show, unless they have been disabled. If you want to have everything in a list view, go to the view menu,and then down arrow to list, and if it is not checked, press enter to check it. Now, return to the view menu, and down arrow to, group by, and press enter, then arrow to none, and press enter again. Give this a try, and let us know what happens, then we can look at the other option.

[Blind-Computing] Winamp Won't Play Next File in a Selected List
Recently a member posted about Winamp not playing the next file in a selected list of files automatically. It has been suggested that deleting the .ini file in the Winamp directory will correct this problem. I have encountered this problem before, but I didn't understand why it happened with no apparent reason. Well, here is the most likely cause, which is much simpler Winamp has a command for this particular behavior, and I discovered it while editing ID Tag information in Winamp. Winamp shares a command keystroke with Windows, which is Control + V I verified this in the following versions, 2.8, 5.04 and 5.62. Maybe because of screen echo settings with Jaws or otherwise,the user is not hearing this command when it is activated. I haven't looked for a way to disable this keystroke,so I don't even know at this point if that is possible. While in Winamp, if you look in the Playback sub-menu, you will find the command listed.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Automatically Compacting OE Folders
Hi Steve, As far as disabling it, no, but I believe there is a.reg file that will allow you to change the frequency of the compaction. Personally, I just compact them manually once a week, since I don't receive an extraordinary amount of mail, and don't open OE alot in any given day. My advice to anyone using OE would be to manually compact the messages on a regular basis, avoiding the automatic compaction. As far as backing up the folders for OE,I simply back up the Documents and Settings folder every day, doing this gets me more than I need, but I get the important stuff in one sweep, like: OE identities Jaws settings Address book custom dictionary Desktop Favorites Start Menu, and the SendTo folder. I use Karen's Replicator to perform this job, and E-Backup to save the internal settings for OE.

Re: [Blind-Computing] re-post of question about jaws 12
Hi Tom, You didn't say which version of Windows you are using, but, if it is XP, then you have a 32-bit system, and with Windows Vista or 7, it could be either one. Which version you install will be determined by your system. If your system is 32-bit, then that is the version of Jaws you will need to install. Likewise with a 64-bit system. An easy way to determine the type of system you have is to do the following: 1. Press the Windows key + The Pause key, to open the system properties dialogue. The pause key is usually located near the top of the keyboardnext to the scroll lock key,but this will vary from keyboard to keyboard, especially with laptops. If you are not sure where the Pause key is, then turn your Jaws keyboard help on, with Insert + 1, on the number row, so Jaws will echo the keys as you press them. This is a toggle, so when you are finished, use the same keystroke to turn it off. 2. Route Jaws to Pc, and then arrow down to find the relevant information. Once you have what you need, press escape, or Alt F4 to close the properties dialogue.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Initial setup of new computer
Hi Lenny, Yes, you can perform the initial setup with Narrator. It's certainly not going to be as fast as using Jaws, but you can get it done. 1. Boot the computer, and wait a minute or so. 2. Press the key combination, Windows + U, this will open the Ease of Access Center. 3. Now press the combination, Alt + N, to bring Narrator into focus. 4. Once you have Narrator talking, you can Alt Tab,around to find the dialogue for the initial setup. 5. Take your time, and listen closely, and input the proper info and you should be okay. Don't remember the dialogues word for word, but if you find a skip button, you can spacebar it, and complete the setup later with Jaws. Like I said, take your time, you'll get there.

Think of it this way: Defragmenting sweeps the floor and Disk Cleanup takes out the trash.

Mike, If I'm reading this correctly, The .Net 3.5 service pack shouldn't install, since it appears to already be installed. as to the other one, I wouldn't be to concerned since as I said before, it probably is not critical to Windows.

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?

Re: [Blind-Computing] OE Identities Question
Mike,
I would leave the empty folders alone,
sometimes Windows or other programs will create folders or files for a
specific reason
as part of their normal operation, and if those folders or files are not
there it can cause problems.

Yo Bro,
Thank you for your reply. No, not the wrong place. This Identities folder
I'm speaking of is where I said. The 1 you are talking about is there as
well but, that is why I'm asking if these folders can be removed.
Here is the path to 1 of the folders I'm talking about:
C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Application
Data\Identities\{B711DCB4-8A1F-4B52-8C34-57F67F4102A6}
What is weird about this folder is that it doesn't have a folder for my
default identity. Thanks again, take care.

Hi Mike,
Wrong location!
Here it is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities
Here is what the entire path might look like for the folders in one

C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Local Settings\Application

I looked in an Identities folder at the following location:

There are 8 folders here, & they are all empty. I made sure that all

I thought I had used Insert + F7 for years to spell-check individual words& now, I must been hallucinating or something! I guess I've always been highlighting the individual word & using the F7 key by itself! I know that Insert + F7 is supposed to bring up the links list! I need to take my sorry A** back to bed! It's to early in the morning to be this screwed up!!! Take care.

I have never had this happen before now, all of the sudden it starts pulling this crap! Can anyone tell me what is causing this & how I can fix it?! All help will be greatly appreciated.
