Re: [JAWS-Users] "Research It" for JAWS 11 (Last security build)notworking
Hi, Pardon me for my lack of computer terminology. If the Firewall was blocking JAWS, shouldn't his earlier versions of JAWS not function at all? Right now, JAWS can interact fully with his desktop, the only problem is that Research It is not working as expected. Thank you for your assistance again.

[JAWS-Users] Upgrading to Windows 7
Thank you all for the advice and comments that I received yesterday on this subject. One of the first things I did was to download the windows site advisor so that I could see what needed to be done to my computer and I must say that the information received was comprehensive. My computer is about five and a half years old and I found out that the RAM was insufficient for upgrading. Anyway, I have decided to purchase a computer which we will have to assemble, acquire about 6 GB of RAM, using a 500 GB hard drive, and asking a friend who worked in the computer division of a bank where I worked to do the rest of the project. For the time being, until I get my new setup, I will use the computer I have. Hopefully, I should have my new computer within a month.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display Issue in Notepad and Perky Duck
Hi, I have a BrailleNote (32 cell). I did a test in Notepad writing text with no press of the enter key over multiple line-breaks, and indeed the new lines begin with an indent of 1 cell to cell two. This, after all, may be the default behaviour in Notepad (at least). I wonder if we turned off word wrap, and chose 'best fit', would that change anything. Now, it's true that most lines will not have the full 40-cell braille width; so for most purposes in most programs that won't matter much. I do some braille proof-reading myself, for which i use duxbury; and there the cells (including cell 1 when appropriate) are filled in with the beginning of a new braille line. I'm quite surew there is a technical explanation of why new lines on a braille display in Notepad and in other programs begin in cell two; but does anyone here know it? It's also quite true that Notepad is not an ideal means through which to read a text file on a refreshable braille display. - Original Message - From: "Jerry Berrier" To: Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 12:20 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display Issue in Notepad and Perky Duck Hi Flor, Thanks for helping me try to work through this. I just tried typing a long string of text without ever hitting the enter key. Each time the display refreshes, it always starts in cell 2. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2010 9:53 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display Issue in Notepad and Perky Duck Hi jerry, This may be because every new line - a hard line break, when the enter key is pressed - is treated as a paragraph break, thus making a new one begin in cell two or cell three (to conform with the correct brailling rules), in Notepad and in Perky Duck. If you have the full forty cells filled in one line, then isn't it likely that there will be a single space left in cell one of the next braille line to mark the word separation, which might be important if you have the display refreshing automatically? (I can't speak to perky duck, not having it.) the paragraph setting in Outlook and word may be set to two line-spaces rather than just one. if reading a print line in Notepad of more than 40 characters that wraps, I believe the remainder of the print line will start over on cell one of the next braille (as it will happen, shorter) line. the braille line beginning in cell two or three may be quite correct for beginning a new paragraph in braille. I do have Duxbury braille Translator, and I know that there are settings available there to enable beginning a parargraph on cell one. - Original Message - From: "Jerry Berrier" To: Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 12:51 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display Issue in Notepad and Perky Duck Hi, I think the margins are only for printing.

[JAWS-Users] Microsoft Security Essentials on my netbook
Hi everyone, I have been using AVG paid version on my netbook and have been having some sluggishness with Openbook 9 with the pearl. A very trusted tech friend, informed me that now, Microsoft Security Essentials, is the best way to go. He said that many times programs seem to become bloated, growing larger as you use them and they add more to their program and can slow down your processor. Awhile back I heard much talk about, Microsoft Security Essentials, on this list. Would someone send some information on this? Possibly a link to the program? Lastly, is it safe to uninstall AVG just using the uninstall on the program itself? Thank you Russ P.S. I look forward to your daily tips!

He rang me to tell me that his "Research It" is not working. When he typed in a definition of a word, for example, Happy, Wiktionary returned with no result. When he tried to use the currency conversion, the same thing happened. Is there a setting I need to help him activate so the 22 services can function properly? Thank you for any assistance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display Issue in Notepad and Perky Duck
Hi Flor, Thanks for helping me try to work through this. I just tried typing a long string of text without ever hitting the enter key.
