[JAWS-Users] Question about windows live mail and how jaws reads it.
,Hi, I am using windows live mail on windows 7 pro and using jaws 11 standard in demo mode. I have my emails going into several folders. When I tab into a folder jaws will read the first email in the following way. Name of person, date and time received, subject, size and finally that it was sent to my email address and what folder it is in. I really don't want it to read all of that info. Also, jaws will not tell me how many emails are in each folder and after I read or delete one jaws says not selected, so I have to select each email in turn. Does anyone know if there is a way ot change this? I have done research online and cant find anything. Any help is greatly apprectiated, thank you in advance.

Oops, I forgot about that dongle. You're absolutely right Chris. You can run jaws normal on a Windows 7 model with Home premium but it won't work at all with Windows Professional or Ultimate. I remember reading that somewhere so I suppose that Chris is on top of this one too. My apologies, Val. I was concentrating on the machine not the software.

Re: [JAWS-Users] note book and jaws
Val, I'm using an HP notebook without any difficulty at all. The only thing that will take some getting used to is the missing number pad on your right. Because that is missing, you'll have to get used to a whole new set of hotkeys. but after a while, they become second nature. Another thing I'd like to mention is that the virtual mouse which is part of almost every notebook I have ever seen, is usually set with the sensitivity very high. So, if you touch it accidentally, while you're trying to learn the keyboard, your focus goes off into the fourth dimension somewhere. The sensitivity can be reset or the mouse can be turned off completely within the Control Panel. I dislike double tapping that Caps lock key to get the system to recognize a shifted word but other than that, I like mine very well. One thing though, and I know I'll probably hear about this from someone, I don't like the proprietary software that Dell loads onto their laptop and notebook computers. That, at times, can really give you some grief. All in all Dell makes good equipment but I wish there was a way to get it barefoot. Good luck and you can't go wrong with HP. that has been my experience. There are some on this list like Andy who don't like HP much but they have always backed me up better than any other computer manufacturer I have worked with. Andy is right though. they did make some serious losers a while ago. But their new equipment is really excellent and the prices are quite reasonable.

Windows Live may ask to be shown as the primary e-mail product. That kind of message will occasionally lock you out of an entire folder. If that happens, the only way around it is to delete the folder and then re-create it. You may lose content in the process. For some reason, I'm not sure why, Windows Live Mail doesn't play happily with other e-mail systems, even Outlook.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Upgrading my Windows program
Francis, A couple things to consider... First, is there a driving need for you to upgrade? Windows XP with SP3 will be supported by Microsoft into 2014. So, you could get another three years out of your current computer. Second, consider your computer. How current is it in terms of specs, etc? Run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor available at Microsoft.com to be sure your system will support Windows 7 and whether you need to update drivers for printers, scanners, etc. I've worked on some clients computer systems where we had to purchase new printers or scanners because their scanner didn't have drivers for Windows 7. This is particularly the case for 64-bit versions of Windows (the 32-bit versions are harder to find in pre-configured systems). Third, is their a particular reason you need Win 7 Pro? It does have XP emulation, but that may/may not be supported in Jaws, and it is rarely needed except for certain specific programs. I know some gamers for example who use it. Unless you have specific needs, Home Premium would be adequate. Note, with Win 7 Pro, you will need the Professional Authorization of Jaws. As for price, Professional will be about $200, versus around $100-125 for HP if you look around. Hint: you can actually do a full installation from an upgrade disk, which would save you some money. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway. Steve Lansing, MI - Original Message - From: "Francis E.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws with Windows xp mode in Windows 7
Hey Don, Partition Magic won't work in Vista or Windows 7, according to Norton. It hasn't been updated in five years, from what I've seen. I am sure it won't work in 64-bit systems. You can try http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html which works in 32-bit or 64-bit systems. Don't know how accessible it is, though. Also, Win 7 has its own partitioning software which should be accessible through the disk management aplet. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws keeps repeating
Could be your screen resolution, if the resolution is very high and the carat is overlapping the character on the screen Jaws will see it as a newly written character when the carat flashes off and repeat it to you each time.

It does this when I am trying to do a couple of other tasks also but, can't think if off the top of my head at the moment. I have key repeat unchecked in the configuration manager. I am running XPSP3 Pro & Jaws10 latest on this machine. How do I stop Jaws from repeating characters when reading character by character? All help will be greatly & graciously appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Is there an easier way to check yahoo mail using jaws?
Hi Randy, I don't use FireFox with Yahoo mail, so this might not be helpful. I use IE 7 and Jaws 10. Here are the steps that work for me. 1. type mail.yahoo.com 2. When the page loads, type b until Jaws says check for new mail and hit enter 3. type x which takes me to the first message in the mailbox. Yahoo mail isn't as easy to use with Jaws as it used to be, and I have no idea if these steps will work with Firefox, but I hope you can work this out.

Hi, you will have to first of all upgrade your Windows, then your JAWS license. If you are not on JAWS 10 at least then you will need to upgrade to that. The current version is JAWS 11.

Keep in mind that Freedom Scientific will charge more for JAWS for use in Windows 7 Pro than it does for Windows 7 Home Premium.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws with Windows XP mode in Windows 7
Ok well was trying to install Partition magic is why was wanting to use this mode since it's not compatible with Win 7 or even Win vista; but, wasn't able to install the program. So do I need to go into windows xp mode first then run the program from the setup.exe or install file of Partition magic to make it work? I was able to view the win xp mode screen when first clicked on the icon until changed the display option think it was and then had no speech. So guess this mode isn't going to be compatible with any screen readers? Will check out the help info too to see what can do. Many thanks for your tips and or suggestions.

If you type "run programs made for earlier Versions of Windows" (without the quotes" in the start menu search box you can start the compatibility wizard. Chances are good that if you just type "run programs" that the first choice in the results will be for starting the wizard. Press enter on the choice. Tab to the "next" button and press enter. You might need to wait a few seconds for the list to populate. One of the choices in the list will be for "not listed." If you use that choice you will then be able to browse for the program. I have used the compatibility wizard for a reading program that was bundled with other software that worked in Windows 7. The bundled reading program didn't work in Windows 7, but when choosing to use settings for XP SP3 with the compatibility wizard the program worked well. An alternative to using the compatibility wizard is to modify the properties of the program's shortcut. Use Alt+enter key on the shortcut icon and then use CTRL+tab to move to the compatibility page of the dialog box. You can choose to run in 256 colors, 640 x 480 resolution, and you can pick an earlier operating system with which the program was compatible. You can also disable display scaling on high DPI. There is also a button to run the same settings for all users and a checkbox for running the program as an administrator. You will have to respond to a UAC prompt every time you run the program. If you have some vision and if older programs give fuzzy results then go into the properties of the program, click compatibility tab, and then select "disable display scaling on high DPI settings." Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] sma status
In order for the JAWS window to show the correct number of upgrades available, the JAWS authorization on that computer must be up to date. If you're not sure that it is, you can do Update Authorization from the JAWS Help menu. This does not reduce the number of authorizations available.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws 11 windows 7 and office 2010.
HI At least in the Outlook 2010 beta, to select which e-mail account to send a message, do the following. When positioned in the send/to field, press shift+tab 4 times until you reach the From button. Press enter. Route JAWS cursor to PC cursor Move the JAWS cursor one word to the right and you will be at the top of the list of e-mail accounts. Arrow down to the account you want and press enter. To verify you've got the right account, do another route JAWS cursor to PC cursor and do a say line. The biggest problem I've had with the Office 2010 beta since JAWS 11.0.1430 came out with scripts for Office 2010 is that often in outlook and word 2010, when I do a Say All, it will only read one line and then stop. I have put entries in my own confignames.ini file to use the Office 2007 scripts for office and word. Say All works much better with those scripts. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kliph Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2010 11:01 AM To: jaws-users-l...@jaw-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws 11 windows 7 and office 2010.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws with Windows XP mode in Windows 7
Hello Don, Although JAWS might not work too well in XP mode of Windows 7, the Windows 7 compatibility wizard might take care of most older programs that won't normally work in Windows 7. If you type "run programs made for earlier versions of Windows" (without the quotes" in the start menu search box you can start the compatibility wizard. Chances are good that if you just type "run programs" that the first choice in the results will be for starting the wizard. Press enter on the choice. Tab to the "next" button and press enter. You might need to wait a few seconds for the list to populate. One of the choices in the list will be for "not listed." If you use that choice you will then be able to browse for the program. I have used the compatibility wizard for a reading program that was bundled with other software that worked in Windows 7. The bundled reading program didn't work in Windows 7, but when choosing to use settings for XP SP3 with the compatibility wizard the program worked well. An alternative to using the compatibility wizard is to modify the properties of the program's shortcut. Use Alt+enter key on the shortcut icon and then use CTRL+tab to move to the compatibility page of the dialog box. You can choose to run in 256 colors, 640 x 480 resolution, and you can pick an earlier operating system with which the program was compatible. You can also disable display scaling on high DPI. There is also a button to run the same settings for all users and a checkbox for running the program as an administrator. You will have to respond to a UAC prompt every time you run the program. If you have some vision and if older programs give fuzzy results then go into the properties of the program, click compatibility tab, and then select "disable display scaling on high DPI settings."

I have tried this several times and it does seem to work. 1. In the view Option, go down to Layout and make sure the Reading Pane is checked. 2. There are options for placing it either at the bottom or to the right of the message. Choose the bottom option. 3. If you encounter a message that won't read, activate the Jaws cursor. There may be a lot of other information in the page that we don't usually hear. If you are experiencing that, press the Page Down and you can read the message. It's annoying but it does work.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws with Windows xp mode in Windows 7
Hi Mo, To join the Windows 7 list send a blank message to blindwindows7-subscr...@yahoogroups.com. Now, from what I understand, XP Mode comes with a set of tools and drivers so that it runs better with Virtual PC and provides automatic logging onto the guest operating system. The other thing it does is to behave as if it's running in a terminal (remote desktop) session. It is this behaviour that is confusing JAWS and thus you cannot currently run JAWS in XP Mode, unless you use some other XP Mode implementation like there is in VMWare. Hope this helps.
