[JAWS-Users] Silencing part of the screen.
This is pretty obscure, so not sure anyone will have a suggestion, but here goes. Firstly, this issue is occurring essentially in a terminal window, IE, when I am running in Cygwin, a linux-like command-line interface on a Windows box. On all of my machines, except for my newest 64 bit Windows 7 box, I have no problem. When I am using my email client, Pine, it shows the first screen of information, when you hit the space bar, it shows the next screen full of text. The top line of the screen stays mostly the same, showing the Pine version, message number, and a couple of other things, it also shows the percentage of the email that has been displayed so far. The bottom couple of lines of the screen is a command menu of sorts. In all of my boxes, except for the Windows 7 box, when I hit the space bar, JAWS just reads whatever changed on the screen. So, it doesn't reread the top line of the screen, except for the percentage which changes. And, it doesn't read the bottom two lines of the screen. On my windows 7 box, when I hit the space bar, it rereads the entire first line of the screen. This is rather annoying. I am not sure why the difference, since I am running the same version of JAWS on all the boxes. I have never messed around with JAWS frames, but am wondering, can I set up a frame that encompasses most of the first line of the screen and then sets it to silent mode or something like that. This is definitely reminiscent of VocalEyes back in the day. Any suggestions on how to go about this? Thanks. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Hi I downloaded and installed but unsure if I completed the install because no finish button. I did test the OE spell checker but I might do another install again if not working correctly. I looked under remove or change programs and did not see anything.

The spell checker does not work in Outlook Express. I do not have the Office CD. Any ideas how I might fix this problem? I am the worlds worst speller so I have to compose a message in word and then copy into OE. Just one pain.

Re: [JAWS-Users] weather bug
I really like http://braille.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/hdfForecast?brand=braill equery=37914 Just put in your own zip code and save the page to your desktop. It's updated at least hourly and provides info for anywhere in the world. I don't know how Weather Bug is these days, but it used to cause problems with JAWS for some of my students- grabbing and holding focus, if I remember.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Silencing part of the screen.
Once upon a time, I believe the jaws basic training had an example on how to create a frame around the clock in the system tray to silence that area. I have no idea if this is still included in the basic training or available as aaanother training module. Maybe Mr.Eric knows the answer to that. hth Doris At 12:35 PM 12/3/2010, you wrote: Insert + 9 will bring up the Frames Manager.

Hello Dan, While I haven't done this in a very long time, you are correct about using frames to silence parts of the screen. Well, it worked in much earlier versions of JAWS anyway. I don't remember how it is done but the documentation should refresh the memory.

This is pretty obscure, so not sure anyone will have a suggestion, but here goes. Firstly, this issue is occurring essentially in a terminal window, IE, when I am running in Cygwin, a linux-like command-line interface on a Windows box. On all of my machines, except for my newest 64 bit Windows 7 box, I have no problem. When I am using my email client, Pine, it shows the first screen of information, when you hit the space bar, it shows the next screen full of text. The top line of the screen stays mostly the same, showing the Pine version, message number, and a couple of other things, it also shows the percentage of the email that has been displayed so far. The bottom couple of lines of the screen is a command menu of sorts. In all of my boxes, except for the Windows 7 box, when I hit the space bar, JAWS just reads whatever changed on the screen. So, it doesn't reread the top line of the screen, except for the percentage which changes. And, it doesn't read the bottom two lines of the screen. On my windows 7 box, when I hit the space bar, it rereads the entire first line of the screen. This is rather annoying. I am not sure why the difference, since I am running the same version of JAWS on all the boxes. I have never messed around with JAWS frames, but am wondering, can I set up a frame that encompasses most of the first line of the screen and then sets it to silent mode or something like that. This is definitely reminiscent of VocalEyes back in the day. Any suggestions on how to go about this? Thanks. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
