[JAWS-Users] jaws 12 repeating file names!
Hi All, Any ideas on why jaws 12 might be reading filenames twice. For example as you arrow down through a list of documents it might say something like File 1, file 1 and File 2, File 2. It just keeps repeating the name twice like its bouncing off of each name. This machine uses Windows XP with all latest updates. Any ideas would be most welcome.

[JAWS-Users] daily information
Daily Tip: Excel: Change Decimal Places (Worksheet) To change the decimal places in cells, select them and then click the Home tab, if it isn't already selected. Click the Increase Decimal or Decrease Decimal icons. Daily Term: cache The cache memory areas on and near your microprocessor are a vital component for giving the microprocessor improved speed and performance. The cache (pronounced cash) provides high-speed, temporary data storage areas the microprocessor can access quickly. You can think of the cache area as a high-speed memory subsystem for your computer. Cache memory areas are able to improve the performance speed of a microprocessor through four means. First, the cache memory consists of memory technology that works more quickly than the traditional RAM in your computer; it's also far more expensive. (Cache memory typically consists of SRAM [static RAM] versus the DRAM [dynamic RAM] usually used as the computer's main RAM.) Second, the cache memory areas are much closer to the microprocessor than traditional RAM, meaning they can deliver the data more quickly. Third, most cache areas run at nearly the same clock speed as the microprocessor, letting them work more closely in tandem. RAM runs at a much slower clock speed than the microprocessor. Finally, because the microprocessor typically only uses a small portion of a program or a data file at a time, storing the commonly used portion in cache is useful, even if the original program or data file is far too large to fit entirely in cache. Today's microprocessors make use of two cache areas: L1 (level 1) and L2 (level 2). L1 cache is also known as on-die cache, on-chip cache, and primary cache. L1 cache usually sits directly on the microprocessor and is a smaller memory area than L2 cache. L1 cache is the first area the microprocessor checks when looking for data stored in memory. The L2 cache usually resides on the motherboard, although some manufacturers include L2 cache as part of the microprocessor's packaging or on the microprocessor itself, and is the second area the microprocessor checks for data stored in memory. To improve the performance of the L2 cache, microprocessor manufacturers a few years ago began connecting the microprocessor and the L2 cache with a backside bus. The microprocessor checks both cache areas before checking RAM. When the microprocessor finds the data it wants in the cache areas, it's called a cache hit. If the cache doesn't have the needed data, it's called a cache miss. As the microprocessor's data needs change, it updates the data it stores in the L1 and L2 caches, overwriting the oldest data in the caches. In newer microprocessors, such as the Pentium 4 from Intel, the microprocessor uses prediction technology to determine the best sets of data to place in the L1 and L2 caches. This prediction technology is important to overall performance because it increases cache hits and minimizes the amount of time the microprocessor must wait for memory searches. Cache memory first appeared in a computer-the IBM System/360 Model 85-in 1968. Nearly every PC built since then has included some type of cache memory. The Intel 468DX microprocessor, which Intel introduced in 1989, featured L1 cache on the chip for the first time, but it only had 8KB of cache memory. Off-chip L2 cache areas appeared soon after with 486DX4 and Pentium microprocessor chips from Intel in the early 1990s. Intel's Pentium II microprocessor, introduced in 1997, was part of an SEC (Single Edge Contact) Cartridge that included a high-speed cache memory chip. Today's microprocessors usually have 128KB or more of L1 cache memory and 256KB or more of L2 cache memory. Because of the expense of cache memory, some low-price computers from a few years ago might be missing the L2 cache on the motherboard or microprocessor. Intel's initial Celeron processor, for example, didn't include L2 cache. However, as microprocessor components have continued to shrink and memory components have continued to be less expensive, almost all recent and current microprocessors contain L2 cache. With microprocessor components continuing to shrink, nearly all future microprocessors probably will contain an on-chip L2 cache. Newer Athlon microprocessors from AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), for example, include the L2 cache on the chip, improving its performance by about 300%. Some industry analysts think that as on-chip L2 caches become commonplace, computer manufacturers will begin including an L3 cache on the motherboard. Terms associated with cache: cache buffer: A cache buffer is the area of RAM (usually 2MB or less in a PC) that exists within nearly all newer hard drives, CD-RW (CD-rewriteable) drives, and DVD-ROM drives, giving the microprocessor faster access to data that's normally in permanent storage. The cache buffer usually maintains a copy of the latest data the microprocessor retrieved from

[JAWS-Users] `how to write chinese characters with jaws 12, word 2003 and windows 7
Hallo friends, can somebody tell me how to write and correct chinese characters with word 2003, jaws 12 and windows 7. As long as I could use windows XP and jaws 9 on my old notebook everything was ok. With my new notebook I still can write some chinese characters, but they don't make sense and I do not find a way to correct them. The keyboard commands which I used with windows XP do not work anymor. it seems to me, there is a keyboard conflict. I am a german sinologist. I hope somebody of you has chinese as his/her mothertongue and knows what to do in this situation. FS in Germany cannot help me, they ssay in Germany I would be the only of their users who wants to write chinese and has this problem. . I feel sorry about my poor english. Hope to hear from you.
