Re: [Blind-Computing] defrag
Hi Anna, I have found that defragging using the Windows defrag tool that sometimes it won't defrag all the files for whatever reason. Try defragging in a 2 to 4 weeks see what happens at that time. Take care.

[Blind-Computing] defrag schedule
How do you change the defrag run schedule? I am using windows 7 home. When I launch defrag I hear the notice that the automatic schedule is 2 Am on Sunday and Tuesday. I guess that the the Sunday is for the c drive and the Tuesday is for the d drive. I can not locate anywhere to change the schedule. My computer is never left running all night. When I use the windows key and then type schedule a task schedule list is presented. Defrag is no where in the list.

[Blind-Computing] Defrag
Hi when I went to run a defrag it came up with this message Disc defragmenter has detected that chkdsk is scheduled to run on volume c. Please run chkdsk/f. What do I need to do to run the defrag on drive C? I do have an external drive connected but don't wish to defrag this. Step by step simple instructions to achieve the above would be appreciated.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Defrag
Have you tried shutting the machine down and then turning back on? Many times if chkdsk is scheduled to run it will do so at the next boot up. Otherwise go into system tools and schedule it for the next time you boot up Al -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com]On Behalf Of pmahu...@xtra.co.nz Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2011 4:56 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] Defrag For got to mention in my prior messages that I'm running XP.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Defrag
I don't know if this really matters but I do notice it scans a lot faster if you unplug the external from the computer before turning it on also.

Re: [Blind-Computing] defrag and JFW
I am using xp and service pack 2. with. Jaws 8. There is a blue screen defrag that restarts my pc when it is done where is it?

I unloaded JAWS, but when defrag stopped, I couldn't get JAWS back, and had to manually restart the computer. Where might my defrag log be in Windows XP, and what might it be called? Or is there one?

On the Microsoft Tools submenu (I am talking about the Start menu and not in a Microsoft application), you will find 2 scanning options, document Imaging and document scanning. The document imaging options will scan your document into a MS-Word doc as an image which is just fine if you are sending something to a person who does not use a screen reader. If you want to create an accessible scanned document, you will need to use the Document scanning option. It does a pretty good job, but not as good as Kurzweil or openbook. Another option for scanning software that is not all that expensive is text Cloner Pro put out by Premier Software. It can be found at readingmade easy.com You must use your own screen reader with Text Cloner Pro if I remember correctly.

For example, I scan a letter into my computer, then email it as an attachment to you. How easy is it to be read? Well Cathie, The answer to your question depends on how you (or anybody) scanned the document. Personally, I have Kurzweil 1000 and would use that to scan a document to save and attach as a text file -- this is quite accessible. I also have an HP multi-function printer/scanner/copier with dedicated software that will allow me to take a picture of a document or attempt to scan as text. I have no idea how accessible a document scanned as text via this HP software will be since I prefer to use Kurzweil for this. But I suppose it's possible that the HP scanning software would produce reasonably accessible text files. Of course, I'm answering this as somebody who is totally blind and depends on screen reading software to get anything meaningful from computer data. If you're scanning documents and sending them to persons that at least have reasonably functional sight there's probably no issue. And, if you were to send a photocopy image to somebody who has Kurzweil he/she could always run the attachment through the KESI Virtual Printer themselves to get a text rendering of the letter. I don't know if Open Book has a similar feature; a capability to have the Open Book Optical Character Recognition software serve as a printer to convert images into text.
