Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 11 going silent in Outlook
I'm wondering if operating system has anything to do with this JAWS hanging up problem. At work there are 2 of us having this problem and we are both using Windows XP. I have a friend who is using Windows 7 and he does not have the problem on either his desktop nor laptop.

You could smoke a cigarette while you wait for a message to open.

However the problem is much worse in 2007 with JAWS 11. I have found that I have to do a complete shut down, and not a restart to fix the problem for a while. I only have this problem at work using the above stated combinations of JAWS and Office, and not at home using JAWS 11 Office 2003. At work I am also having problems where JAWS 11 is taking a very long time to start reading an e-mail message in 2007 that I have just opened, and when I press Enter in the body of a message while I am composing it. I've not found a fix for this besides just waiting it out. Sometimes it appears that after waiting for a while, the only way to get JAWS to say anything is to press the up and down arrows. It does not make sense to me.

If I use the JAWS pointer, I can see there is material there and read it that way, but the virtual cursor does not work, and the arrow keys do nothing. Total lack of any feed back at all. Restarting JAWS doesn't fix it. Rebooting the computer will fix it until next time. JAWS 9 does not do this. In fact, if I don't feel like going through a reboot, I just turn off JAWS 11 and launch JAWS 9 and it will read the email just fine. I have made sure that the settings for JAWS 9 have been ported to JAWS 11. I have heard at least two other people express this problem, but none of us has solved. it. I checked the JAWS support pages and they mention that undocked tool bars, or large font sizes can cause this effect. However, I do not have undocked toolbars, and when I adjust the font size it doesn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas?

[JAWS-Users] Combo boxes

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Try opening it by first turning forms mode on and then using Alt plus down arrow. You should hear something about the combo box being open. Now arrow down to the choice you want. If it's the type of combo box I'm thinking of, you can just press tab to move away from that box and it should open the page with whatever choice you selected.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using Jaws on two computers
Lennie, As I understand it, you can use Jaws on more than one computer, but not simultaneously. 2. When you get the 64-bit computer, you can put your DVD in as Version 11 will automatically detect whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit system. Once it installs Jaws, go and do the update for the latest version first.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Yes, probably. One of the places you can encounter them is at the FedEx.com website. If you delete your cookie for Fedex, the one that remembers your current location, you will be broght to their main homepage. At this point, you are presented with a combobox to choose a location. When you try to open the box, it immediately jumps to the first option and places you in the Afghanistan locale. I didn't discover this until a few days later, after wondering why my tracking number kept coming up with no results. I think I had to go into their sitemap to find reference to an accessible page, which treated the combobox in a customary manner. There is another site that I use a lot when I speak about web accessibility. Mr. Damry is aware of this site. If you go to the Cisco Linksys website and attempt to download new firmware or drivers, you are presented with a completely inaccessible combobox. I can kind of but not always get it to work with System Access, but not at all with Jaws or Window-eyes so far. It is kind of a combobox that scrolls when it is opened. Often, Jaws doesn't even recognize it as being a comboboox.

Hi All; When I want to access a combo box I use Alt +down arrow to open, arrow to my selection and use Alt + up arrow to close. If the combo box does not close, I press the PC cursor key to exit the combo box / forms mode. Hope this helps. Take care. Mike, It's tax time!

Hi, You have 3 keys which can bwe used for 3 computers. As far as installing the 64 bit version of jaaws, The installer should detech the 64 bit and install the rite version. After you install it then you should be able to activate with the same key assooming you are using home if that is what you are using. You can then run jaws updates to get the latest build. HTH.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Hi Dale, and any one on list, that has trubble's with the combo boxes. I have visited the webpage that you linked to, and have tryed out the combo boxes there, and there are two different ways to work, whether you are using Jaws 10 - 11, or earlyer version's. Well, if someone have disabled the autoforms mode in Jaws 10 - 11, than it work's just as in the earlyer version's. So let me begin with the older versions: When getting to a combobox, press enter, to activate the forms mode. Than press alt+down arrow to open the listbox, and then arrow down through the combobox. You can also use first letter to jump to a particular letter, and than use the arrow key's to find what you are searching for. Now press alt+up arrow, to close the listbox, and often the webpage automatically click's here, otherwise, tab to a button that can be named go or search or something else, and press enter here. On webpage's where there are multiple of comboboxes, you sirtainly need's to make your selection's in any one, before selecting the go/search ... button. When you have activated the form's mode in the earlyer version's of Jaws, you only can tab through the fields on the page, and if you want to read anything of the text information between the field's, you must press the pc cursor bbutton, to leave the forms mode, and come back to the virtual cursor. When you then again meet's a combobox, you must again activate the forms mode, by pressing enter. In Jaws 10 - 11 there are an automatic forms mode, that gives a sound, when the cursor are placed on a combobox. Here just press spacebar, to select the combobox, and than alt+down arrow, and just continue as described above. When there are pressed alt+up arrow to close the listbox, the combobox automatically are left, and you can continue to arrow down the page, or tab, just as you want your self. I hope that this advice can be helpful to someone.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Hi, these must be combo boxes that work by java script instead of incorporating a regular submit button designed using html plain. This has the advantage of the screen changing immidiately when the user flipps through the available choices. A screen reader needs to parse the java script before making a choice in order to present the user with a virtual list of choices from which one is able to pick without actually manipulating the situation of the web page itself. Jaws does have a mechanism for that. I am courious to know the vo solution for this one.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using Jaws on two computers
Hi, as long as you have activations left you could install it on serveral computers along side each other. I don't know and don't believe that it is legal though. Anyway they won'gt notice or care I suppose. Just download the latest and greatest and go ahead to installing and activating. Only problem is when you need to reinstall on one of these machines and you don't have activations left. Then your Jaws dealer needs to suply you with more keys.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
Hi Hans, I am using Jaws 9 on this computer but it doesn't work like that here for me. First letter navigation works but immediately I am thrown out of the box to some other part of the page without the selection being read. For example I wanted to select Toronto. Toledo was the first 'T', it was selected once I turned Forms Mode off and relocated the box. Hit enter again to get back into Forms Mode and hit 'T' again and off focus goes somewhere else. Turning off forms Mode again and relocating the combo box confirmed that Toronto had been selected. then down to the next box to select Buffalo Airport or at least discover it it is an option. As it turns out it is an option but the second one so again another round into and out of forms mode. I do have Jaws 11 but have only installed it on my work computer. The joys of Jaws 11 come with composing documents and spell checking MS-Word 2003. Ultimately things just go silent, I cannot close jaws, cannot save my work and close Word, mostly the keyboard stops working or if it doesn't the computer stops talking so I can't tell what the keyboard response is. Only resolution is to hit the power button. Since Jaws 11 comes up as the default I often forget when working in Word to close it and load Jaws 9. Sometimes I become aware that something isn't keeping up with me as I type, I get the occasional beep from the computer as if I hit two keys simultaneously. When this begins to happen it reminds me to save my work, kill Jaws and bring back Jaws 9 and all goes well. I am conflicted about replacing 9 with 11 on this machine not sure of the advantages.

Once it installs Jaws, go and do the update for the latest version first.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using Jaws on two computers
It is perfectly legal to install Jaws on different machines. I run Jaws on three machines (work, laptop and home PC) simultaneously. Further more, FS was quite happy to reset my three activation keys just in case if I need to reinstall. I suppose the real cause for concern for them would be if one Jaws license is used by multiple users and quite rightly so.

I don't know and don't believe that it is legal though. Anyway they won'gt notice or care I suppose. Just download the latest and greatest and go ahead to installing and activating. Only problem is when you need to reinstall on one of these machines and you don't have activations left. Then your Jaws dealer needs to suply you with more keys. But since machines do crash and do get upgradedd it was never a problem with Papenmeir.

[JAWS-Users] Problem with time search and MLB Scores
Hello all. For the past two weeks or so I have not been able to use the Time Search feature successfully. No matter what I search for, I continue to receive a response that says, for example, no time found for San Francisco. Also, as of two days ago I am not able to get MLB scores even though games have been played on the day I have conducted the search. I am currently using Jaws Version 11.0 and Windows XP sp 3. Any suggestions as to how I can once again conduct these searches successfully would be much appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox and Buttons not working
Hi Scott: I have the same problem with Firefox and Jaws 10. It also occurred with Jaws 9. When it happens to me, I can't click on buttons or links. Sometimes, if you close Firefox and then reopen it, the problem will be gone. Most of the time, I just close Firefox and open IE and do what I need to get done. This problem is why IE is still my primary browser. I'll be interested if anyone else has a solution to the problem.

Just want to extend my thanks too Roger, Northstarand Mike and barbara, for those keystrokes for virtualizing window. Now, I'll try and explain why I need it. Over the last few weeks or so, I've been getting bounced offa list for the blind called acb-l list. When I contacted the moderator of this list, he suggested that I call roadrunner and ask if they had a setting that I could change which might prevent me from being bouncedoff this list on a continuing basis. The guy who answered the call said that it might have somthing to do with a setting in my norton antivirus 2009 which I received as a gift from my friend on my birthday last year. I even asked him if there was a setting on there end which might be causing this problem, and he told me that they hadn't changed any settings on there end to cause a customer not to beable too receive or block any email addresses that they send email from. I at this point in time, don't really know what else to do. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
