Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessing the information on the screen before the start up screen?
Now if they mean the boot information. That is not doable. Now if its a new startup or non speaking log in screen. You can use narrator. The keys for it is windows key + u, then wait a few seconds and do a alt + n. This also works on any windows computer vista and up.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Acrobat Reader
Hi Jerry: I just seen your e mail regarding adobie. I think version 11 is; I'm currently using 12 on the server, but for the home computer I have 13. All depending how a PDF is formatted determins how jaws will read it. If the file is burned to the screen like an image of something, unless you have version 13 with the OCR feature, it's highly unlikely that this file could be read. If there is actually text on the screen, then it should be okay; I've used PDFs as far back as jaws version 7 when I was in college; a lot of my books came that way. The only thing is that if it's a huge file as you probably know, it takes a while for those types to open. It also depends on the structure lay out as wel. I hope this will give you some insight. - Original Message - From: "Jerry Martin" To: Sent: Friday, August 31, 2012 2:33 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Acrobat Reader To All Users: I had downloaded a book in PDF Portfolio format.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and Internet Explorer 9
i think i remember someone else saying that they had such a trouble, but if you reboot and make sure your running at least jaws 13.0.852 you should have no real troubles, so i think a bit of clearing up on your machine should get things working. i jumped from 7 to 9 when i got my new computer and have had little trouble with it, and most time a housecleaning (emptying the batches of file build up ) along with clearing out the history and temp files folders usually clears the troubles up.

I have just upgraded to Internet Explorer 9 and have ran into an issue with Jaws not reading any buttons on any of the pages I have visited. I am wondering, is that a weird issue with IE 9 and Jaws or is it just my computer.

[JAWS-Users] identifying colors on webpage
Is there a way to identify font colors on a webpage? For example, if there is a table and the table items" values are shown by colors, can JAWS identify these colors? I'm not finding a way to do this. I'm using JAWS 13. Thank you. Tara For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] real speak voices from jaws 9 on win7 64 bit?
Hi, I have the real speak cd that came with jaws 9. I'm trying to install it under win7 64 bit. I've run the install as admin and changed the compatibility mode to xp sp2. It says this program won't run under 64 bit. I've been told it can be done, ideas? -- Adam Morris Phone: +61 2 888 93939 email: a...@damorris.com Skype: adamwilliam Twitter: awmorris msn: a...@damorris.com For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] identifying colors on webpage
Hello Tara, You can try using the color scheme. Use Alt+JAWS key+S when on the web page and choose the color scheme. You should hear the foreground color and then the background color announced when they change. You will first hear the colors and then the text affected by the color change. It seems to work quite well when using up or down arrow key or when using the SayAll option. If you use the JAWS key with the number 5 on the keyboard number row you will hear the foreground and background colors for the current character. Hold down JAWS key and press number 5 on the number row twice quickly and you will hear the three digit representation for the red, green and blue colors in the foreground and background. The first three colors are for red foreground, the second three digits are for the shade of green, and the third set of three numbers is for the quality of the blue color. The last three sets of numbers are for the red, green and blue background colors. In the RGB values numbers for each of the colors ranges between 0 and 255. Lower numbers indicate darker shades and higher numbers indicate lighter shades of color. For example, if you hear 000 000 000 on 255 255 255 you have you have the darkest black foreground on the brightest white background. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] WordPress.com and Jaws?
Good day, I'm looking for some help please! This is the free version, not WordPress.org which I believe makes a difference. Still I've read in the past that it is Jaws friendly so there's got to be something I'm not doing since so far its a Jaws bad dream. I'd like to post on my blog, I've got the basic blog set up but posting on it is a massive headache! I'm running Jaws 11. If anyone has suggestions I'd really appreciate them. Thanks, Joy For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
