PEACE John Carvalho - Original Message - From: Victor Gouveia To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, January 01, 2007 2:10 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: xp upgrade question Hi John, If you are having a hard time finding things like the control panel, than that means that you haven't configured your XP computer to look like Windows 98. I'm not sure if you knew this was an option or not, but for a while, Freedom Scientific was recommending everyone using Jaws switched their XP environment, such as the display, appearance and theme to Windows 98 or standard. Even the files were supposed to be set to Windows Classic. If you need help in switching the format, just let us know and we can give you step by step instructions on how to accomplish this. On the other hand, you can also go to the JFW Lite website, under the helpful hints page, there is a file there on how to configure your computer to work with Jaws on an XP machine. I'm not sure if David has the same type of setting instructions on his tips and tricks page, so he'll have to let you know about that. While the text file on the JFW Lite site is a bit outdated, as I believe Freedom Scientific no longer recommends everyone switch to the 98 look, you can still use it's display settings to create your own 98 environment.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws 8 is saying selected
Scott - If I'm understanding your message; and I don't guarantee that I am; this might be either a corrupted installation or your video drivers. Whenever I hear about a problem like this, my first suggestion is to track down and install the latest set of video drivers. If you find a set that's later than those already on your computer, there's only one way to install them and here are the steps. Don't even begin this process unless you feel confident that you can successfully complete the installation process--get sighted help if you're not 100% certain: 1. To locate drivers, go to the web site for the manufacturer of your video card. If you don't know this, get a copy of Belarc Advisor and run it and it will tell you. You may have to Google the manufacturer's name to locate their web site. 2. Download the latest set of drivers for your model of video card. Chances are that this will be in the form of a .exe file that you run in order to install the drivers. Don't run it yet. 3. Press INSERT+J to open the JAWS dialog. Under Options, select Basics and uncheck the Automatically Start JAWS item. 4. Go to the Start Menu>Programs>JAWS and open the submenu. Arrow down once to Tools, then arrow right and locate the Video Intercept Manager. Press ENTER. 5. When Intercept Manager opens, select Uninstall Video Intercept and press ENTER. When this process completes, JAWS will not be running, so you must turn on Narrator in order to have speech during installation of the new drivers. Press Windows Key+U to turn on Narrator. 6. Now is the time to run the video driver installation program. Follow the prompts as Narrator reads them to you. You will have to be patient when using Narrator, since it doesn't have the capability of reading individual lines, etc., that you'll be used to in JAWS. 7. After running the installation program, you should receive a message indicating that the new drivers have been successfully installed. Shut down and restart your computer and again, start Narrator. 8. Go to the Start Menu>Programs item for the same version of JAWS as in step 4, above, Select Tools and then Video Intercept Manager. This time, choose to install video intercept support. 9. The Video Intercept Manager should give you a message indicating that this action was successful. Now, press INSERT+J to open the JAWS dialog, select Options>Basics and again check the Automatically Start JAWS item. 10. Now, restart your computer again. JAWS should come up talking. Note: I don't know about other manufacturers, but if your video card is from ATI, you will have to install Microsoft's Dot Net Framework before you can install the drivers. ATI provides a link to the latest version of Dot Net Framework on the same page where you download the drivers. - Original Message - From: "Scott Meyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 11:06 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 8 is saying selected Hi Jaws 8 is saying selected when edit mode and in outexpress arrows don't read words back.

Hi Walt, I have my eloquence set to intermediate and my punctuation set to some. In point of fact, when I set my verbosity level to intermediate, it automatically set my punctuation to some. I didn't have to do anything with it. I remember that because I realized that I had to change the punctuation just after I did that and it had already been changed. There is a possibility that I changed it before I changed the setting to intermediate, but I don't think so. In any case, thanks for pointing out that the punctuation has to be set to some or one to get rid of those lines.
