You have to download the JAWS for Thumb drives and install it on the drive in the Removable disk partition. When you insert the drive, an auto run dialog will pop up and you may have to alt-tab back to it to get focus back to it. When the dialog comes up, the first item will be JAWS using the program provided on the device. Then, just press enter and JAWS wil then start. As far as I can tell, the U3 launch pad is not that accessible; you have to use the JAWS cursor to be able to use it. Even when you use the JAWS cursor to click on the buttons (which are not always labeled as buttons), you can only access some of the launch pad's functions. Other than that, JAWS works well with a U3 smart drive. HTH and have a great day!

Hi Katrina, This is one of many situations where there are tradeoffs. As for me, I can have a spoken login, but because JAWS is not on the network, I can only use it on this computer. If my office is being painted, floor waxed, etc., I am computerless until I can get back in to my office. But because JAWS is on your network, you can use any computer on your network. That's really neat too. I am not sure why you can't access JAWS help.

I think that the fact that JAWS is running on the network is the problem. If JAWS is running on the network, you won't be able to access it until you have accessed the network. The only thing that you can do other than installing JAWS locally on your machine would be to just stay logged in at all times, which will, of course, bring forth the wrath of your network admin.

I have recently started using a new computer on a new network at work. I'm not sure what the network is, but the OS is Windows XP Pro. The system is running a network version of JFW 7.1 and IE 6. Seems every day I encounter another problem. The thing that bothers me the most is that I can not set JFW up to run on start up. I'm not even given that option under the JFW Basic Settings. Perhaps the Network Administrator could access this setting...I'll definitely ask. However, the Network Administrator tells me that FS reports there is no remedy to the problem. Approximately 6-10 employees use JFW on this network, and only two of them can set JFW to run on start up. My understanding is this is because they have JFW running from a dongle (sp?) rather than from the Jaws Network. Another issue that bothers me is that I am not able to access Help in the JFW application. The Network Administrator is supposed to be contacting FS about this so hopefully they can figure it out. Any thoughts or suggestions about using JFW on a network would be appreciated.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws reading log-in screens
I think this happens because the keyboard is locked. Hitting CONTROL-ALT-DELETE should get the speech back. At my work, the IT folks have the computers programmed to lock after 20 minutes of inactivity. If I am in the office when it happens, I hear JAWS read the screen that pops up, and then it goes silent. Fortunately, this does not effect the Braille display, so I can read that screen with the Braille display, even though there is no need to, because all I have to remember is to hit CONTROL-ALT-DELETE and enter my password, hit ENTER, and then everything is bakc to normal for at least 20 more minutes. The interesting thing though, and a bit off topic, is that for some reason, this automatic lock thing is defeated by Window Eyes.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Why is Jaws slow to speak?
There are many possible reasons. Is this a new problem? Did you change anything recently, I. e. install or remove programs? did you add any new hardware, like a second HD? You might try having fewer programs load at startup. You can run MSCONFIG and uncheck unnecessary entried in the startup tab. If you have several programs in the sys tray, try disabling some. I once had this problem on an old computer, and doing a disk defrag helped. If none of these things help, it may be a hardware issue, like a dying power supply or HD. I doubt that JAWS has anything to do with it.

[JAWS-Users] Re: Copying songs from a CD
Hi Shirley, Well, I use CDEX, but I would imagine that the procedure would be similar in any such program. When you place a CD in the drive, you are presented with a list view of the tracks. You simply use regular Windows commands to select the tracks uyou want to rip. If you want to rip the whole CD hit CONTROL-A to select all of the songs, then hit the command to rip, which in CDEX is F9. If you want to rip one track, just arrow down to it and hit the command to rip. If you want to rip noncontiguous tracks, while holding down the CONTROL key, hit the down arrow, and hit the space bar to select only the tracks you want to rip, then after you have selected all of the trakcs, hit the command to rip.

I have a vast collection of music, and my current project is to compile only the songs I really enjoy hearing, and then burning them to CD. Could someone please explain the procedure, and/or tell me what to read to understand how to rip a song or two from a CD and place it into a folder for future use? I do have Roxio Easy CD Creator, and if Victor would be kind to this damsel in distress, maybe he could give me an outline of the steps necessary to burn a CD of MP3s.

I'm using internet explorer 6. The problem started Wednesday morning, the 24th, around 9 eastern. I have been able to download things successfully in the past. The last updates that were installed were about a month or so ago, but I'm not quite sure what they wer. The only thing that I had noticed from that installation was that when my outlook express compacts, I see dot bak files files of all the folders that I have in my outlook program. Such as deletd itemse.bak, recipes.bak, sent items.bak, games.bak, and so on. I could still download after this installation though. I download things from send space, just some things that people put up there. Could I have gotten a virous from there? The only things that i have installed in the past week was dvd audio extracter, and winzip. I have not reconfigured anything. I don't know how. heh heh heh. I am using nod32, and the windows firewall which is on. I have jaws 7.1 pro, and windows xp pro. I can go to the internet and look around. For example, if I go to the jim kitchens web site, I can look at all of the games he has, but when I would try to download one of them, this is what use to happen. Say for instence i enter on the siman game, I should come up with a dialogue box that says do you want to open or save this, I would click on save. Then I would come up with a box that wants to know where you want the file to be saved to. At that point I would pick the place and enter on the download button and the game would be downloaded. Now, this is what's happening. I go to kitchens site, and enter on a game that I want to download. A dialogue box comes up that says, File download dialogue, getting file information. It acts as though I've already selected the save option and told it where to put the game, but I do not get that choice. Then if i let it set there for almost a minute I get a message that says, internet explorer can not open this file or the site can not be found. I would appreciate any suggestions. I will gladly give someone my phone number if they would be willing to call me, or I would call them. Thanks.

[JAWS-Users] Closing MS Outlook
I am using a Dell Optiplex GX620 PC with 1 GB RAM running XP PRO on a LAN. I am using MS OFFICE 2003. I am using JFW 8.0. When I attempt to close MS Outlook, either by hitting ALT-F4 or through the file menu. The program disappears from the screen, but it still running in the background. When I go into Windows Task Manager, Outlook is not listed among the running applications, but is listed among the running processes. I need to hit the end task button to get it to close completely. Interestingly, when using Window Eyes, Outlook closes normally after hitting ALT-F4. I wonder what it is about JAWS that prevents Outlook from closing normally.

I think it may be something to do with the codes the number pad transmits. The other issue I had was that it kept repeating numlock on with each press. Finally I just bit the bullet and got comfortable with the notebook keyboard. Fortunately this one has the six pak at the top right corner easy to access and more or less the inverted 'T' at the bottom right corner. Working with the various cursors is less convenient and any amount of entry is slow so, for some specific things I still use it but the Say Word and Spell Word just don't work with the number pad. If this is a necessary feature I suggest you find a shop with several number pads to choose from and bring your computer along and methodically test each until you find one which does as you need.

However, your suggestion to reboot with the numpad plugged in, seem to do the trick. I am now able to use the cursor keys and the Jaws key okay now. However, I notice that I cannot do a read current word, or read current character. I am however, able to do previous word and next word, along with prior and next character. Current line etc is also okay. Obviously, I can cope with this, but it would be nice to know why it does this and how to fix it? Do you have any ideas? With David's instructions, I checked that desktop layout was selected. As I thought, it already was. I am actually using an Acer notebook, not a Toshiba smile. I bought it in 2001 and have never really used it. However, now I need to use it for my work. This brings up another question I have. At work, we do intake work(I am a counselor and a conflict mediator). The forms I need to fill in on the computer is in MS word format. At the moment I am going to be entering the work onto my laptop(hence the numpad). I have the form templates to try Jaws with. I find on my desktop running Windows XP and Jaws 7.0, that I have trouble navigating the forms. At work, I can tab through and enter the text in the required fields. I would however, need to keep track of all the tabbing to do and sometimes there is a lot. Do you or anyone else, know why I am having trouble with these forms at home? If I can't work it on my desktop(which is a more up-to-date system), I am not sure how I will go doing it on my laptop, which is using Windows ME and a very older version of Jaws. I do however, intend to upgrade Jaws to 7.0 like is on my desktop. I hope you or someone else can help me.

I have the same thing, an external num pad via USB port, and I get the same thing. In fact, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear that you were using a Toshiba laptop as well. Anyway, first and foremost, I would make sure that you reboot the computer with the num pad connected to it. Once it's connected and rebooted, see if it does the same thing. If it does, press the num lock key at the top left hand corner of the num pad. This should be where the num lock key is on the num pad. Anyway, try that and see if it works for you.
