[JAWS-Users] Once nie thing about Freedom Scientific
Hello all. No, I am not here to bash. I just want to comment on one very nice thing that Freedom Scientific does. They encourage absolutely anyone to download the latest JAWS version, or even earlier JAWS versions if your computer will not work with the latest for some reason. You simply download the full package and install it. Without a license it will just run in 40 minute demonstration mode. The same is true if anyone wants to try MAGic or OpenBook. There you go. Comment finished. -- From Chris H in Derbyshire For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] Forms mode problem in O E
Hi all. When I use Outlook Express in my XP virtual machine with JAWS 12, I don't recall experiencing this problem. This is the only JAWS I have on my XP virtual machine currently. If anyone wants me to try it with earlier versions please let me know. Many thanks.

[JAWS-Users] server protocols needed
If anybody knows the server protocols for the ISP optonline.net please let me know. I am in the middle of setting up a friend's email account and he can receive mail just fine but he can't seem to send out. I used: pop.optonline.net and smtp.optonline.net since I had no idea what to use for sure and figured those were the most common settings. When I left he had already downloaded over 1200 messages since he had been off line for a good while so incoming seemed fine. I hoped out going would turn out the same but unfortunately it didn't.

Hello all! I have noticed that the groups pages on Yahoo works a lot better with the JAWS 12 public beta. An example is when you manage the members on a group.

Ok I figured out my voice profiles question, but I'm still left puzzled.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 12 Keyboard Manager
Ok, can anybody else duplicate this? Don't know if this is a bug or just a weird gremlin on my machine. Using beta 12: 1. Bring up the Jaws Settings with insert-6. 2. Type in keyboard manager and open the keyboard manager. 3. Go to the key labels tab. 4. My list of keys is completely empty. Of course, the mute and change label buttons are there, but I can't seem to select any keys in the list view.
