Re: [JAWS-Users] Wireless Adapter
There are also some settings in the control panel of windows 7 under power I think, advanced options that will let you change the wireless adaptor settings. Not sure if these are just another way to control the power management of the device through the control panel but it may be worth checking. Let me know if you need more presise instructions on how to find them. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Patricia Zoellers Sent: 30 July 2013 06:57 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Wireless Adapter I found it.

Might look under device manager, find your wireless adapter, bring up the context menu, go to properties. Under one of those tabs should be something similar to allow power management of this device. Try unchecking that and see what happens.

Re: [JAWS-Users] windows media player
Hi Steven, I assume you mean windows media player 12 on windows 7. In windows media player, if you open the context menu of a track, then open the add to sub menu, then a number of play lists are shown on this sub menu. Unfortunately, only the last eight of so playlists which have been created are shown. However, the last item on the menu is additional playlists, and if you open this, you can select any playlist in dialog. As an alternative, you can: 1. select the playlist, and choose play from its context menu. The items in the playlist are then placed in the currently playing list (which is on the right side of the screen). 2. You can add tracks to this now playing list by opening the context menu, open the add to sub menu, and choosing playlist. The shortcut for this is ctrl+7. 3. When you've finished adding tracks, tab to the save list button, and press it. Alternately, press alt+s. David. original message: Using wmp 11 and windows 7.

[JAWS-Users] Strange Behavior in Word and Outlook 2010
Hello, I am using JAWS 14 and Windows 8. I have noticed some strange behavior when using Outlook 2010 and Word 2010. When I am typing in a document or message, my cursor will occasionally jump to a different place in the document, resulting in me inserting text where I did not intend to. Sometimes, the text that I have just typed will just suddenly disappear. A few minutes ago, two paragraphs just disappeared from the bottom of a Word document. I thought that I might be accidently hitting the touch pad and moving the cursor or selecting text that way. However, even if I am hitting the touch pad, I know that I am not pressing the mouse buttons at the bottom of the touch pad. Just touching it shouldn't move the cursor or select text, should it? This can be very frustrating. I would appreciate any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong and how to fix it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] free antibirus software
I've tried Avg, Avast, and MSE. I'd go with MSE. I had AVG on the computer for a while and it caused my system to run extremely slow, especially when going through emails. To this day, I can't figure out why. All I do know is that as soon as I made the switch, the computer became much more responsive. On 7/30/2013 2:26 PM, Damien O'Connor wrote: Hi there.

[JAWS-Users] wells fargo update
Thanks so much to those who replied to my wells Fargo issue. I had a call this afternoon from the very patient Wells Fargo tech guy I spoke to yesterday. It seems that the problem stems from the use of the Tab key. I would normally tab from edit field to edit field when logging in. Instead now, I still use the E to get to the edit field and enter to turn it on, but then I have to turn mode forms off and use the arrow key to move to the next edit field instead of using the tab. Not a real problem, just a changing of habit. Thanks again. Becky For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
