2013-06-15 Thread Alana Jovanovski
Hi,

When selecting messages in outlook 2010, I get the message To select the
item press the arrow keys.

Any way to get rid of this message using JAWS 14?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Shut down problem

2013-06-15 Thread Rich

Hi Tim,
  I ran Super antispyware and C Cleaner, Check disc then disc defrag.
The same problem occurred. I hit windows, arrowed to turn off hit 
enter arrowed to turn off computer. I heard the tones but, the computer 
never fully shut down. My sighted wife said the screen said shutting down. 
after 30 minutes, I had to physically turn off the computer.


Thanks for any other tips.

Sense your doing hard shut downs. I would run scan disk and defrag. Then 
try a restart and if that works do a full shut down.

[JAWS-Users] password protect a folder

2013-06-15 Thread Tom
  I went on line, and looked up “how to password protect a folder in win 7”, 
and it certainly gave the instructions on how to do it, but was hoping a jaws 
user, using win 7, that password protects folders already, could give me a 
hand, or at least give me a link to an easier way to do this. thanks, t

Re: [JAWS-Users] Backup

2013-06-15 Thread David Ferrin
My impression from your first message is that you created a system backup
image using the default option built in to windows 7. That is accessible to
do quite easily. You should have received a prompt at the end of that
procedure to create a repair disk which is not explained at that point but
that is something you will need to boot the system from to reload the image
you just made. 

You only need to create that disk once and everything I have discussed here
is doable by a blind person. 

The reload process is not accessible, for that you will need sited help. I
imagine it is possible to memorize the steps involved in the reload process
although I have not been able to do it myself as of yet. Even if that were
possible you will need help to figure that out as well. 
I have done system reloads using that process here and it is quite efficient
just not accessible like I said.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Shut down problem

2013-06-15 Thread Steve

Rich,

This used to be pretty common in Xp before SP1 was released.

Even so, there appear to be several unfortunately random issues that could 
be culprits.  I am including a link that seems to have a pretty 
comprehensive listing of possible solutions.  I've had this issue myself, 
but it has become less frequent and it doesn't seem to repeat.  But, the 
site below might give you some ideas to start with.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Backup

2013-06-15 Thread David Ferrin
The backup option we're discussing will restore your computer in the event
of an operating system crash or some other such reason you need to recover
it IE a virus ETC. 

Image for windows is still my option of choice as I can do it without any
third party assistance, but this method is faster if my wife is here. I am a
bit fortunate in that respect but I am a hands on kind of guy who likes to
do things for himself. 

The method image for windows provides is not too much different from what
you are doing. The fact is this method will backup to CDs or DVDs which I
admit I have not tried as of yet. I believe that is something I will take a
look at in the near future. If I do of course I'll let the list know what my
findings reveal. 

I'm feeling the possibility of another tutorial if it works that it can be
made out to be a blind friendly project, keep your collective fingers
crossed.

[JAWS-Users] backup on windows 8

2013-06-15 Thread Lenny McHugh
Well I just installed the demo version of jaws on my grandson’s new win 8 
computer. I only wanted to create the restore and backup dvds. Well in win 8 
there is no recovery and backup as on win 7.
I need to purchase an external drive for him. There is a feature that will 
automatically backup files and the desktop to the drive. I did see a few 
recovery options that can put the computer back to factory or reinstall windows 
and keep your files and folders.

Re: [JAWS-Users] backup on windows 8

2013-06-15 Thread Rick Justice
Hi Lenny,
Years ago, when you purchased a computer, it would come with multiple disks 
which contained the operating system disk,
drivers and installed software.
Later, manufacturers chose to image the operating system drive once the 
computer was all set up,
and ship the image disks (recovery media) with the computer.
Today, unless it is a custom built system, the consumer is responsible for 
creating their
own recovery media by using a utility already installed on the system.
This utility is supplied by the manufacturer, and is not a part of Windows.
Creating media with this utility is simply an image of the operating system 
drive as it came from the manufacturer
and will not backup any personal files.
The image is created from a recovery partition on the hard drive.
One of the first things a person should do when they purchase a new computer 
is create this media.
This is the process that Trish referred to me helping her with.
Once I have created my recovery media, I prefer to create a basic image of 
my system
that includes Jaws and a few programs that I use on a regular basis, as well 
as any configurations I have made to Windows.
I use Image for Windows for this, and install other software as needed.
I don't create an image of the operating system drive with absolutely every 
piece of software simply because I prefer to keep the image
to the minimal amount of disks to make the recovery process easier,
and usually by the time I need to use these disks, I don't re-install all of 
the software I was using anyway.
Keep in mind, this is just my personal preference, and larger images can be 
created to include all of the software you want.
Also, if you have a data partition as I do, you could create an image of it 
as well, but if the data on
that partition changes on a daily basis, it would be pointless.
I use Karen's Replicator on a regular basis to keep my personal data backed 
up to external drives.
Bottom line, back it up, and then backup the backup.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Bottom line, back it up, and then backup the backup.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] backup on windows 8


Well I just installed the demo version of jaws on my grandson’s new win 8
computer. I only wanted to create the restore and backup dvds. Well in win 8
there is no recovery and backup as on win 7.
I need to purchase an external drive for him. There is a feature that will
automatically backup files and the desktop to the drive. I did see a few
recovery options that can put the computer back to factory or reinstall
windows and keep your files and folders.

Re: [JAWS-Users] backup on windows 8

Hi Lenny,
No, I am not using Win8 right now, but did find
it on someone else's when they first bought it.
If I recall, it was not the easiest thing to locate, and the interface  left 
much to be desired with Jaws.

are you using win 8? I could find no backup capability. It is an HP
computer. I know that the os is stored somewhere in a non dos partition. I
do not remember the file backup or recovery that is used.

Hi Lenny,
Years ago, when you purchased a computer, it would come with multiple disks
which contained the operating system disk,
drivers and installed software.
Later, manufacturers chose to image the operating system drive once the
computer was all set up,
and ship the image disks (recovery media) with the computer.
Today, unless it is a custom built system, the consumer is responsible for
creating their
own recovery media by using a utility already installed on the system.
This utility is supplied by the manufacturer, and is not a part of Windows.
Creating media with this utility is simply an image of the operating system
drive as it came from the manufacturer
and will not backup any personal files.
The image is created from a recovery partition on the hard drive.
One of the first things a person should do when they purchase a new computer
is create this media.
This is the process that Trish referred to me helping her with.
Once I have created my recovery media, I prefer to create a basic image of
my system
that includes Jaws and a few programs that I use on a regular basis, as well
as any configurations I have made to Windows.
I use Image for Windows for this, and install other software as needed.
I don't create an image of the operating system drive with absolutely every
piece of software simply because I prefer to keep the image
to the minimal amount of disks to make the recovery process easier,
and usually by the time I need to use these disks, I don't re-install all of
the software I was using anyway.
Keep in mind, this is just my personal preference, and larger images can be
created to include all of the software you want.
Also, if you have a data partition as I do, you could create an image of it
as well, but if the data on
that partition changes on a daily basis, it would be pointless.
I use Karen's Replicator on a regular basis to keep my personal data backed
up to external drives.
Bottom line, back it up, and then backup the backup.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Re: [JAWS-Users] How Can I Get Yahoo Classic Mail Back?

2013-06-15 Thread Scorpio Forever

I was told a neat trick by a Yahoo Tech who told me to lower your screen
resolution down to a 800 by 600 dpi, and the site will automatically switch
you back to the old mail style.

I haven't really done in-depth experimentation on just how high the dpi has
to be before it reverts back to the new Yahoo mail, but, like I said,
bringing the screen resolution to 800 by 600 should to the trick for sure.

Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] Using the vocalizer voices, can I stop it from saying capital?

2013-06-15 Thread A. F. Childs
Hello,
I installed a vocalizer voice, and I was wondering if there is a way to 
make it stop saying the word capital, when typing a capital letter?
I am hoping someone can help me to change this, or tell me if there is a 
place on the FS web site, that tells how to do this.
Thanks to everyone,
Allen
