[JAWS-Users] page change announcements in Word not being read
This question was asked on David's Blind-Computing list. Can anyone help Susan out?! Hi everyone, In attempting to tweak settings in Word 2007, I'm finding that JAWS no longer reads the change of page when in navigation or say all mode. I thought at first that this was a JAWS issue but now think there is a weird Word setting. Any advice on fixing this problem much appreciated. Most of what I found in microsoft help had to do with headers and footers or table of contents, not quite what I'm trying to do. Also, using the classic XP margins as a default with single line spacing, in Word 2003 page length equalled 46 lines but I'm not seeing those results in 2007. Any thoughts?

[JAWS-Users] display adapters
Hi list: Here is a problem that I have noticed in Jaws 13. When going to the device manager and looking under display adapters, the F S mirror driver was installed four times on my computer. After calling tech. support and explaining my problem of findings the 4 mirror drivers installed on my computer. I began uninstalling them from the first one listed down to the bottom. I restarted my computer each time in-between removing the extra, 3 mirror drivers, tech. support told me that there should only be one F S mirror driver listed as being installed on my computer. I thought that it was funny after bringing this up to him because after he looked on his computer, he found out that he had 11 F S mirror drivers listed on his computer. He said that they would be researching the problem of why the mirror driver was being installed more than one time in Jaws 13. Has anyone else noticed this problem on your windows 7 computer running Jaws 13? My computer is running smooth now.

[JAWS-Users] sounds in device manager
Hi list: In device manager I went under sounds and removed a sound driver which I had installed when I upgraded my computer to windows 7. The reason I did this was to allow my new Bose usb speakers to work smoothly with my computer. What was happening was on start up my computer was ignoring the Bose usb speakers even though I had them set as the default speakers. Things are working fine now. My question is: after removing the sound driver and going back to the original driver installed on my computer. I was taken to the authorization page for Jaws. I had to put my authorization disk into the computer and authorize it again or I would have ran in demo mode. Why did my computer behave this way? What I did had nothing to do with Jaws. I am just trying to gain a greater understanding of how Jaws works with my computer. Everything is working smoothly now and I am very happy with jaws 13 and I am thankful for F S and all the hard work that they do for us.

I have three of those mirror drivers. I also have three versions of JAWS on the PC, as I always keep the previous version to the new one, and haven't gotten around to removing JAWS 11. Is that why the three drivers? Does it matter? PC seems to be running fine.

[JAWS-Users] Twitter's new webpage design, please help
Good morning friends. It has been awhile since I've bothered to play around with Twitter, primarily resulting from a lack of free time. One thing I've noticed since they've changed their webpage layout, is the lack of accessibility to accomplish certain tasks that used to be simple. For example, I would like to accept or decline a request to follow, but those buttons are now completely useless. I have tried getting around this issue via Twitter for IPhone, but to no avail, as that app doesn't even have a way to view and accept or decline requests. Does anyone have any suggestions for navigating this issue? I'd be very greatful.

Re: [JAWS-Users] sounds in device manager
Hi Jim, I don't know why but, whenever you make a hardware change it screws up the Jaws activation you have to re-activate Jaws. I was experimenting with sound cards, kept asking FS to reset my activation keys low behold, I received a phone call from FS wanting to know what was going on! So anyways, be prepared to re-activate Jaws whenever you make a hardware change. The lesson is, always make sure you have activation keys available before you make hardware changes. The steps for checking your activation keys are below; Checking remaining activation keys steps; I posted a question to FS about how to determine the number of activation keys remaining. In case any of you wanted to find out, here are their instructions, verbatim: Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific Support. We suggest going to FSACTIVATE.com http://www.fsactivate.com 2. Click on the continue product activation button. 3. Down arrow to: Verify the number of activation keys available for your Freedom Scientific product and press enter. 4. Down arrow to serial number and again down arrow to edit. Type in your JAWS serial number and press enter on the submit button. 5. Underneath the first seven digits of the authorization number, you will find the number of keys remaining. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] re-display adapters
Hey Jim, I have 2 of the mirrors, so should I delete the first one on my list? Hi Mike: Press the windows key and type device manager in the edit field, and press enter. Tab over to the tree view, press the letter D, until you hear display adapters closed. Press the right arrow key to open this list. press the down arrow key one time to hear your graphics card, press the down arrow again to hear the F S mirror driver. When you first open this section with the right arrow, listen to see how many items are under display adapters. My computer now correctly shows two items, my graphics card and the f S mirror driver. I hope this helps...

Re: [JAWS-Users] re-display adapters
I looked at device manager and only had two display adaptors, one FS mirror driver and the Intel driver. I had only installed 13 from the disk. I downloaded the most recent version and just ran that installation. Now I do have 2 FS mirror drivers showing. Is there a problem leaving them there?

Howdy Ricky, I believe that mirror drivers are used in XP. A couple of years ago Freedom Scientific Tech Support walked me through navigating to them. I had a program called Log Me In on the computer FS said that the mirror driver was messing with the Jaws mirror driver. But, I believe the mirror drivers for XP are buried in the registry.

[JAWS-Users] Help with 'find' feature in a MS Word document

However once I do the above each time I hit pg down or up or ctrl pg down or up it just doesn't move the document on the screen up or down as usual and instead keeps on jumping each time to the next location of that text in the doc. I don't want this. Once I have found the location I desire I want the ctrl pg up and down to act as usual. Is there a key stroke to snap the document out of this find mode?

There isn't really a solution other than that, since in Microsoft Word the find dialogue and the page control are (and have been for ages) two parts of the same dialogue.
