Re: [JAWS-Users] looking for email suggestions
Well I learnt this the hard way when I wanted to create a group on Yahoo. Everything went well until the word verification. I was shocked to see that Yahoo requires you to complete the word verification each time you want to do something, like set up a group. How come Google isn't like this? Can't Yahoo trust their customers enough, or what? - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, August 17, 2007 10:23 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] looking for email suggestions I have used AOL free webmail when I couldn't download my imap mail and it works as about as well as any. If you (or anyone else on the list) would like I'd be happy to provide instructions on how to navigate the interface as best as I know how. And as for Yahoo, the only thing I dislike is there use of word verification to complete an increasing number of things on there site, and them not providing an audio verification like AOL and some of the others do. I personally would just assume do the word verification myself using audio then have to call into customer service (or however they do it) every time I want to do something major.

[JAWS-Users] PC Maintenance XP Home
Hi All, It had been way too long since I performed PC maintenance on this XP Home with SP 2 machine using JAWS 7.0 and all the steps don't come trippingly off my fingers since I had Norton SystemWorks 2005 on my Win 98 machine and on the XP until about March when NSW was up renewal and my understanding that the 2007 versions of Norton products weren't accessible and my tech installed AVG. So, I was used to the Disk Doctor and Speed Disk Utilities with NSW, which is why the XP Scan Disc and Defrag haven't come easily. I believe I was able to complete the process using Denny's instructions on the home page for the list, but I ran into problems last night and am hoping I was just too tired when I started the procedures. All went well until I got to Check Disc. Denny's instructions say: 3. Check Disc The check disc should be performed before a scan disc is performed. To do this, go to the start menu and then to, run. When the edit box appears, type in: chkdsk /f and press enter. You will be presented with a dialogue that says, the check disc cannot be performed because the volume is in use. Would you like to perform this the next time your system starts? Just type the letter Y and press enter. Now you will need to shut down any open applications and restart your PC. When it begins to boot up and before Windows starts, your PC will perform a check disc. It will take a few minutes to perform, but when it is finished, Windows will start up normally. When I attempted the steps, XP started the checking process before I had a chance to re-start the machine and I'm just about positive it did the same thing the last time I tried it. The next problem was with scan disk where Denny says: 4. Scan Disc Windows XP doesn’t have an actual scan disc, but it does have something relatively close to it. To run scan disc, go to your desk top and then to, My Computer. If you aren’t using the classic start menu, you might have to go to your start menu and then to My Computer there. Open My Computer and highlight your C drive, sometimes called, Local Disc C. Don’t press enter, just highlight it. Now do an alt enter to bring up the properties. Next do a control tab to the Tools tab. You will be on, errors checking, check now button. Press your spacebar and it will say, Start Button, but don’t press enter yet. Instead, tab to the check boxes and check, automatically fix files system errors and the next check box which is, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. Check both of the boxes. Now tab to the start button and press enter. You will be presented with a dialogue saying that the disc check cannot pbe performed because the disc check needs exclusive access to some files. Do you want to schedule a disc check the next time you start Windows? Just press your spacebar on yes. Now tab to OK and press enter. Alt f4 out of the properties and shut down any open applications and restart your PC. Just press your spacebar on yes. Now tab to OK and press enter. Alt f4 out of the properties and shut down any open applications and restart your PC. Does perform the checking process with JAWS silent? Everything went okay until I got to It may take as long as an hour for this process to complete, depending on the size of your hard drive and how many errors you have, but be Patient and Windows will restart once the process is complete. I attempted the steps twice leaving more than an hour the first time and more than 4 hours the second time and JAWS wouldn't speak at all either time except for saying ALT-F4 when I tried it. A slightly weird thing is that the Insert key on the num pad hasn't been working since I tried the scan disc and I've rebooted. The insert key on the six pack works and num lock is off. I haven't been able to get a new keyboard since I have had to wiggle waggle keys from time to time to get them to respond and it could be strictly coincidental that the insert key in the num pad isn't responding now. Am I just missing something in Denny's instructions?

Re: [JAWS-Users] PC Maintenance XP Home
Margaret, it looks like you were following the instructions very well, so this must be a freak incident, whereby the insert key isn't responding. Anyway I was under the impression that both check disk and scan disk were the same in Windows XP, so goodness knows why Denny included both procedures, but there you are. Maybe someone can shed some light on this, smiles. - Original Message - From: Margaret Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2007 12:08 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] PC Maintenance XP Home Hi All, It had been way too long since I performed PC maintenance on this XP Home with SP 2 machine using JAWS 7.0 and all the steps don't come trippingly off my fingers since I had Norton SystemWorks 2005 on my Win 98 machine and on the XP until about March when NSW was up renewal and my understanding that the 2007 versions of Norton products weren't accessible and my tech installed AVG.

Re: [JAWS-Users] PC Maintenance XP Home
Margaret, When you type in, chkdsk /f, or you leaving a space between the chkdsk and the /f? As for the sccan disc, you said that you heard Jaws talking when you did the alt f4. Actually, Jaws shouldn't speak at all until after the scan disc process is completed since Windows doesn't load until it is. It sounds like 1 of a couple of things is happening. One, either you didn't restart your computer after starting the scan disc process, or two, it ran through the process after restart and Windows loaded and you didn't realize it. Do you hear the Windows shut down sound when you do a restart?

[JAWS-Users] Skype vs. SkypeWatch?

I am only interested in connecting with friends using just the basic that my old version provides for me now. So, I guess that what I am asking, can I just upgrade to the basic without SkypeWatch and what is SkypeWatch anyway? Thanks for any help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Skype vs. SkypeWatch?
SkypeWatch is part of the JAWS support for Skype. When you install Skype scripts, there's a feature that allows JAWS to monitor contact status changes etc. This is known as Skypewatch. So yes, you can upgrade to the latest version and never be affected by what you want to use it for.

Re: [JAWS-Users] PC Maintenance XP Home
Denny, I got the chkdsk /f to work this time. I have egg on my face since I thought I had dutifully cut and pasted the command as it appears on the tips and tricks page, however I have punctuation turned off and a bit of a hearing problem and only got the chkdsk and not the rest of it. I think I got the scan disk to work this time and tried defrag. No luck; I got an error: Microsoft Management Console MMC cannot open the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\dfrg.msc.graphic 580 This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file. OK I have administrator rights on the computer. Thanks for any ideas on what I might be messing up now.

Actually, Jaws shouldn't speak at all until after the scan disc process is completed since Windows doesn't load until it is. It sounds like 1 of a couple of things is happening. One, either you didn't restart your computer after starting the scan disc process, or two, it ran through the process after restart and Windows loaded and you didn't realize it. Do you hear the Windows shut down sound when you do a restart? Denny -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Margaret Thomas Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2007 6:08 AM To: jaws-users Subject: [JAWS-Users] PC Maintenance XP Home Hi All, It had been way too long since I performed PC maintenance on this XP Home with SP 2 machine using JAWS 7.0 and all the steps don't come trippingly off my fingers since I had Norton SystemWorks 2005 on my Win 98 machine and on the XP until about March when NSW was up renewal and my understanding that the 2007 versions of Norton products weren't accessible and my tech installed AVG. So, I was used to the Disk Doctor and Speed Disk Utilities with NSW, which is why the XP Scan Disc and Defrag haven't come easily. I believe I was able to complete the process using Denny's instructions on the home page for the list, but I ran into problems last night and am hoping I was just too tired when I started the procedures. All went well until I got to Check Disc. Denny's instructions say: 3. Check Disc The check disc should be performed before a scan disc is performed. To do this, go to the start menu and then to, run. When the edit box appears, type in: chkdsk /f and press enter. You will be presented with a dialogue that says, the check disc cannot be performed because the volume is in use. Would you like to perform this the next time your system starts? Just type the letter Y and press enter. Now you will need to shut down any open applications and restart your PC. When it begins to boot up and before Windows starts, your PC will perform a check disc. It will take a few minutes to perform, but when it is finished, Windows will start up normally. When I attempted the steps, XP started the checking process before I had a chance to re-start the machine and I'm just about positive it did the same thing the last time I tried it. The next problem was with scan disk where Denny says: 4. Scan Disc Windows XP doesn’t have an actual scan disc, but it does have something relatively close to it. To run scan disc, go to your desk top and then to, My Computer. If you aren’t using the classic start menu, you might have to go to your start menu and then to My Computer there. Open My Computer and highlight your C drive, sometimes called, Local Disc C. Don’t press enter, just highlight it. Now do an alt enter to bring up the properties. Next do a control tab to the Tools tab. You will be on, errors checking, check now button. Press your spacebar and it will say, Start Button, but don’t press enter yet. Instead, tab to the check boxes and check, automatically fix files system errors and the next check box which is, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. Check both of the boxes. Now tab to the start button and press enter. You will be presented with a dialogue saying that the disc check cannot pbe performed because the disc check needs exclusive access to some files. Do you want to schedule a disc check the next time you start Windows? Just press your spacebar on yes. Now tab to OK and press enter. Alt f4 out of the properties and shut down any open applications and restart your PC. Just press your spacebar on yes. Now tab to OK and press enter. Alt f4 out of the properties and shut down any open applications and restart your PC. Does perform the checking process with JAWS silent? Everything went okay until I got to It may take as long as an hour
[JAWS-Users] JAWS Sluggishness Problem - Fixed!
Hello everyone, I posted earlier about JAWS being sluggish in responding for typing echo and when using keyboard navigation. Well, when I was looking on Freedom Scientific's website at JAWS Technical Notices and fixes (for nothing in particular, I saw the link on the JAWS-Users tips and tricks page and thought I'd take a look) I came across something about JAWS being sluggish with keyboard echo and navigation in Windows Vista. So I went to that page to see what FS had to say on the topic and they said that some computers with the Sigma Tel Audio Codec exhibited said problems, and that the way to fix it was to download an updated driver. Well I don't have the Sigma Tel Audio Codec, that I know of; I have a Realtec High Definition audio card, so I thought What the heck, and went to the Realtec website and downloaded the updated driver. Installing the updated driver required sighted assistance (or a Braille display/external synthesizer, if you have one), as the installer was going to uninstall the old driver before installing the update. When my computer restarted, JAWS for some reason wanted to re-activate the authorization; I let it and when it was done I realized that the problem was fixed! I just wanted to post this information so that anyone else on the list who is having this problem has something to go on for fixing it. My advice would be to go onto the website of your sound card manufacturer and try and get an updated driver just as I did. To the webmasters of the JAWS-Users list, I'd strongly recommend putting a link to FS's notice on your website as this seems to be a problem a lot of people are having.

[JAWS-Users] sound card and activation was Re: JAWS Sluggishness Problem - Fixed!
Hi Michael. Thank you very much for this bit of information; it's very useful. JAWS did the same thing to me regarding the JAWS activation wen I replaced a sound card on a computer recently. It did that to me once when I installed an internal wireless card in a laptop. It seems JAWS is pretty quirky when it comes to things like that. I wish it were not so. I wonder if anyone knows of a way to prevent deactivation of authorizations on hardware installation. I'll look into this and post if I find anything.

[JAWS-Users] jaws deactivation and hardware
Question: Why would JAWS run fine with a properly activated ILM license, then suddenly start asking for activation and run in 40 minute mode? Answer: A properly activated Internet License Manager (ILM) based license may cease to work if: * You are using a network license and the network connection is down. * You choose Remove Product Activation from the Start Menu, Programs, JAWS, Tools menu. * You change an important hardware component. The Freedom Scientific Internet License Manager (ILM) activation scheme relates directly to the identity, or fingerprint, of your computer. Changing certain hardware components can modify the unique computer fingerprint. For many hardware changes, such as installing a new video card, you can simply reactivate your ILM license by selecting Update Authorization from the JAWS Help menu. Some hardware changes require more than simply reactivating your license and this document provides you with information on dealing with this situation. These changes include the following: A. You install a new hard drive and port the current drive image to the new drive. B. The size of the drive or drive partition where Windows is installed changes. C. Any of the following items existed when you last activated your license, but no longer exist now: * IDE device * Video adapter card * Sound adapter card * CD-ROM drive (desktop only) * PCMCIA adapter card (laptop only) * Windows Product Activation file (Windows XP only) If any of the above hardware changes, with JAWS 6.10 or later you are asked to reactivate your license after the hardware change. After you reactivate your license, JAWS runs as expected. You do not need to perform the process below. If you are using JAWS 6.0 or 5.10, and the above hardware changes, you must remove the currently stored activation information using the FSLicenseClean utility. 1. Press WINDOWS Key+R. 2. Type or copy and paste one of the command strings listed below. Be sure to type the quotation marks and the spaces. If your Freedom Scientific product activation files are stored on a drive other than C, substitute the appropriate drive letter. For a local license with JAWS 6.0: C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Activator\1.1\FsLicenseClean.exe jaws 0 1 For a network license on a designated license server with JAWS 6.0: C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Activator\1.1\FsLicenseClean.exe jaws 1 1 For a local license with JAWS 5.1: C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Activator\1.0\FsLicenseClean.exe jaws 0 1 For a network license on a designated license server with JAWS 5.1: C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Activator\1.0\FsLicenseClean.exe jaws 1 1 3. Press ENTER. The next time you start JAWS, the activation process begins and you can reactivate the license as requested. This information specifically applies to a limited set of products using Internet License Manager (ILM) based activation, available from Freedom Scientific starting Fall 2004. This information does not affect products using dongle and Quella (3.5 diskette based) authorization methods. Last updated March, 2005 Tony Hernandez I believe that the Bible is the Word of God.

Hello everyone, I posted earlier about JAWS being sluggish in responding for typing echo and when using keyboard navigation. Well, when I was looking on Freedom Scientific's website at JAWS Technical Notices and fixes (for nothing in particular, I saw the link on the JAWS-Users tips and tricks page and thought I'd take a look) I came across something about JAWS being sluggish with keyboard echo and navigation in Windows Vista. So I went to that page to see what FS had to say on the topic and they said that some computers with the Sigma Tel Audio Codec exhibited said problems, and that the way to fix it was to download an updated driver. Well I don't have the Sigma Tel Audio Codec, that I know of; I have a Realtec High Definition audio card, so I thought What the heck, and went to the Realtec website and downloaded the updated driver. Installing the updated driver required sighted assistance (or a Braille display/external synthesizer, if you have one), as the installer was going to uninstall the old driver before installing the update. When my computer restarted, JAWS for some reason wanted to re-activate the authorization; I let it and when it was done I realized that the problem was fixed! I just wanted to post this information so that anyone else on the list who is having this problem has something to go on for fixing it. My advice would be to go onto the website of your sound card manufacturer and try and get an updated driver just as I did. To the webmasters of the JAWS-Users list, I'd strongly recommend putting a link to FS's notice on your website as this seems to be a problem a lot of people are having.

Well I don't have the Sigma Tel Audio Codec, that I know of; I have a Realtec High Definition audio card, so I thought What the heck, and went to the Realtec website and downloaded the updated driver. Installing the updated driver required sighted assistance (or a Braille display/external synthesizer, if you have one), as the installer was going to uninstall the old driver before installing the update. When my computer restarted, JAWS for some reason wanted to re-activate the authorization; I let it and when it was done I realized that the problem was fixed! I just wanted to post this information so that anyone else on the list who is having this problem has something to go on for fixing it. My advice would be to go onto the website of your sound card manufacturer and try and get an updated driver just as I did. To the webmasters of the JAWS-Users list, I'd strongly recommend putting a link to FS's notice on your website as this seems to be a problem a lot of people are having.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem With Say All and JAWS 8.0
Think it started in 3.7 mate. You have to actually start say all before you can use page up/down to increase/decrease the voice rate. You can also do it without say all, but using control alt page up (increase voice rate) and control alt page down (decrease voice rate). Another one of those rare keystrokes there for you to try smiles. - Original Message - From: Dale Leavens [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2007 5:45 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem With Say All and JAWS 8.0 This is normal behavior for Jaws and has been for many versions, I think since the first one I owned, 2.something.
