[JAWS-Users] Installing IE 9 and IE10 upgrades
I am using W7, IE 8 and latest jaws on a 64 bit computer and cannot upgrade to IE 9 as I have tried many times. Is it possible to skip ie 9 and install IE 10? I can install IE 9 64 bit version and jaws says it has been installed and I must restart my computer. I restart my computer and bring up the desktop and everything seems fine to this point but nothing works after this. Restarting again does nothing. I will appreciate any info or suggestions on this.

[JAWS-Users] BingBar / Search Providers In IE 9 10
Hi All, There has been a discussion on removing / turning off the BingBar below are some notes on changing your search provider that might help in stopping Jaws from reporting BingBar or whatever it says when doing a search. From: Roger Loran Bailey Because of this thread and Gene's comments I just did something that I did not know how to do and didn't even know that I wanted to do until now. I changed my own default search engine in Internet Explorer to Google. My default search engine has been Bing ever since I got this Windows 7 computer, but I prefer Google. I handled the problem by just ignoring Bing and making Google my home page. Because of this discussion I decided to check to see if I could change the default search. I went to tools and then to manage add ons. I then arrowed down until I saw search engines. I tabbed and found Bing checked as default. By arrowing up and down I saw that there were other search engines and Google was not one of them. So I continued to tab until I found a link labeled search for other search engines. I clicked that link and came to a Microsoft page about add ons and at first I didn't think it had anything to do with search engines, but down the page there was a link to search engines which I clicked. I then got a list of search results and again Google was not one of them. Apparently Microsoft wants to make it hard for you to use Google. In exasperation I pressed the E key to go to the only edit field on the page and typed in Google. Again I got a list of search results, but this time the first one on the list was Google search. There was a link right after it for adding it to Internet Explorer. I clicked it again and there was a page listing some things about Google. By this time I was getting tired of the hoops I was jumping through, so I didn't read that material very closely and now I can't really tell you what it said, but at the very bottom there was another link offering to add Google to Internet Explorer. I clicked it again and a dialog came up. Tabbing through it there were several check boxes to either check or not to check and one of them was to make Google my default search engine. I did check that and went through the rest of the dialog and click finish or save or whatever it said at the end. I then just closed the browser and opened it up again. I don't know if that was necessary, but that is how I did it. Then I check by pressing f6 for the address bar and, indeed, it showed Google. I typed in a word off the top of my head and pressed enter and I got a list of Google search results. So there is how to make Google your default search engine in Internet Explorer. I would have done this a long time ago if I had thought of it or even known where to look. Roger Original Message - From: Karl Smith Does anyone know how to change my search engine from Bing to Google in IE 10? Karl From: Carlos Go to the Internet Explorer Gallery http://www.iegallery.com/en-us/addons?callback=truefeaturetype=2 and add a new search provider like Google for example. There's a link labeled Add to Internet Explorer on the page after you select a search provider. When you click on this link, check the Make this my default search provider checkbox. Carlos From: Grant Hardy Yes--if you hit ALT+T for the Tools menu while in IE 10 and choose Manage add-ons, you'll find a radio button for Search Providers. Select this radio button and then TAB until you hear find more search providers. Activate this link and you'll be taken to the Internet Explorer gallery where you can find and add other search providers to IE including Google. To add the Google search provider, activate the Google link to bring up the information page and then choose Add to internet explorer. You'll be prompted as to whether you want to make this the default search provider. Grant HTH Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

[JAWS-Users] coming additions to the audio page
I sometimes have trouble deciding what tutorials are needed and that I can do justice to the subject matter. The question came across the list last night regarding changing your output sound cards in Winamp or Windows Media Player. I believe I am capable of doing justice to that subject so this afternoon or soon as possible I will begin work on the recording. Give it until early or the middle of next week as these things take time to polish. Oh yes I can do one in a relatively short period of time, it's the editing process that takes the effort. Believe me if I didn't edit the things, well let's just say it wouldn't be good. Thank you for the idea who ever asked the question.

Re: [JAWS-Users] coming additions to the audio page
You know, I think I would even like to hear that.

The question came across the list last night regarding changing your output sound cards in Winamp or Windows Media Player. I believe I am capable of doing justice to that subject so this afternoon or soon as possible I will begin work on the recording. Give it until early or the middle of next week as these things take time to polish. Oh yes I can do one in a relatively short period of time, it's the editing process that takes the effort.

From: Roger Loran Bailey Because of this thread and Gene's comments I just did something that I did not know how to do and didn't even know that I wanted to do until now. I changed my own default search engine in Internet Explorer to Google. My default search engine has been Bing ever since I got this Windows 7 computer, but I prefer Google. I handled the problem by just ignoring Bing and making Google my home page. Because of this discussion I decided to check to see if I could change the default search. I went to tools and then to manage add ons. I then arrowed down until I saw search engines. I tabbed and found Bing checked as default. By arrowing up and down I saw that there were other search engines and Google was not one of them. So I continued to tab until I found a link labeled search for other search engines. I clicked that link and came to a Microsoft page about add ons and at first I didn't think it had anything to do with search engines, but down the page there was a link to search engines which I clicked. I then got a list of search results and again Google was not one of them. Apparently Microsoft wants to make it hard for you to use Google. In exasperation I pressed the E key to go to the only edit field on the page and typed in Google. Again I got a list of search results, but this time the first one on the list was Google search. There was a link right after it for adding it to Internet Explorer. I clicked it again and there was a page listing some things about Google. By this time I was getting tired of the hoops I was jumping through, so I didn't read that material very closely and now I can't really tell you what it said, but at the very bottom there was another link offering to add Google to Internet Explorer. I clicked it again and a dialog came up. Tabbing through it there were several check boxes to either check or not to check and one of them was to make Google my default search engine. I did check that and went through the rest of the dialog and click finish or save or whatever it said at the end. I then just closed the browser and opened it up again. I don't know if that was necessary, but that is how I did it. Then I check by pressing f6 for the address bar and, indeed, it showed Google. I typed in a word off the top of my head and pressed enter and I got a list of Google search results. So there is how to make Google your default search engine in Internet Explorer. I would have done this a long time ago if I had thought of it or even known where to look.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Google instant
There is a way to turn off Google Instant permanently. On the Google home page, scroll up from the search edit field to the Options link and hit Enter. Scroll down to Search Settings and hit Enter again to access the Search Settings page. Once you are on the Search Settings page, turn off the virtual cursor by pressing JAWS key-Z. Then tab repeatedly until you reach a series of three radio buttons for Google Instant, and arrow down to the radio button labeled Never show instant results. If you tab to the next field, you can increase the number of results per page if you wish by pressing the right or left arrow keys to increase or decrease the number of results per page, respectively.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Start screen in vista
Hi Arianna, On my Win7 systems the same thing occurs,it's just that the start button, is where Jaws is focused. I am not sure that you can change that behavior, it seems to me that it is Jaws, not the computer. I just alt tab, and the Jaws window gains the focus, since it is not running in the system tray. In earlier versions of Windows and Jaws, if I put Jaws in the system tray, the focus would go to the desktop. Just to clear up any confusion, we are talking about the start button, not a start screen.

Re: [JAWS-Users] BingBar / Search Providers In IE 9 10
I just followed the directions below and under Tools/Manage Add ons/Search providers, Google is listed as 'enabled' but as 'not available'. I closed IE, but the setting did not change. I'm using IE10- any suggestions? Cher -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike B. Sent: Friday, November 15, 2013 9:31 AM To: Jaws-Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] BingBar / Search Providers In IE 9 10 Hi All, There has been a discussion on removing / turning off the BingBar below are some notes on changing your search provider that might help in stopping Jaws from reporting BingBar or whatever it says when doing a search. From: Roger Loran Bailey Because of this thread and Gene's comments I just did something that I did not know how to do and didn't even know that I wanted to do until now. I changed my own default search engine in Internet Explorer to Google. My default search engine has been Bing ever since I got this Windows 7 computer, but I prefer Google. I handled the problem by just ignoring Bing and making Google my home page. Because of this discussion I decided to check to see if I could change the default search. I went to tools and then to manage add ons. I then arrowed down until I saw search engines. I tabbed and found Bing checked as default. By arrowing up and down I saw that there were other search engines and Google was not one of them. So I continued to tab until I found a link labeled search for other search engines. I clicked that link and came to a Microsoft page about add ons and at first I didn't think it had anything to do with search engines, but down the page there was a link to search engines which I clicked. I then got a list of search results and again Google was not one of them. Apparently Microsoft wants to make it hard for you to use Google. In exasperation I pressed the E key to go to the only edit field on the page and typed in Google. Again I got a list of search results, but this time the first one on the list was Google search. There was a link right after it for adding it to Internet Explorer. I clicked it again and there was a page listing some things about Google. By this time I was getting tired of the hoops I was jumping through, so I didn't read that material very closely and now I can't really tell you what it said, but at the very bottom there was another link offering to add Google to Internet Explorer. I clicked it again and a dialog came up. Tabbing through it there were several check boxes to either check or not to check and one of them was to make Google my default search engine. I did check that and went through the rest of the dialog and click finish or save or whatever it said at the end. I then just closed the browser and opened it up again. I don't know if that was necessary, but that is how I did it. Then I check by pressing f6 for the address bar and, indeed, it showed Google. I typed in a word off the top of my head and pressed enter and I got a list of Google search results. So there is how to make Google your default search engine in Internet Explorer. I would have done this a long time ago if I had thought of it or even known where to look. Roger Original Message - From: Karl Smith Does anyone know how to change my search engine from Bing to Google in IE 10? Karl From: Carlos Go to the Internet Explorer Gallery http://www.iegallery.com/en-us/addons?callback=truefeaturetype=2 and add a new search provider like Google for example. There's a link labeled Add to Internet Explorer on the page after you select a search provider. When you click on this link, check the Make this my default search provider checkbox. Carlos From: Grant Hardy Yes--if you hit ALT+T for the Tools menu while in IE 10 and choose Manage add-ons, you'll find a radio button for Search Providers. Select this radio button and then TAB until you hear find more search providers. Activate this link and you'll be taken to the Internet Explorer gallery where you can find and add other search providers to IE including Google. To add the Google search provider, activate the Google link to bring up the information page and then choose Add to internet explorer. You'll be prompted as to whether you want to make this the default search provider. Grant HTH Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 8 safely remove hardware
Truth is, you haven't needed to do that since xp. Both 7 and 8 are smart enough to not cache external devices, just give them a minute after you close the program that was using them in case the program takes longer to close than you think and pull them. --- Blogging at tech-mysteries.blogspot.com On 11/15/2013 16:50, Lenny McHugh wrote: I just had my grandson download and install ITunes to backup his IPod.

[JAWS-Users] Looking for how many days are left in the Antivirus
Hello, I am using XP Pro 32 bit, Office 2007 with AVG antivirus. I'm running the 3 year AVG antivirus and I cannot remember when I first installed it. The date might be getting close on this Dell laptop. When, I update it takes for ever and no done button sounds. So, I run the update again and it does it again, then by the third time I hear the done button. And recently just started telling me after jaws comes on to press the spacebar cause no antivirus is installed. And this is not a antivirus balloon message to press the spacebar. I don't want a blue screen surprise. I been looking around the AVG menu, but I had no luck. If, anyone knows how to figure how many days of antivirus are left, would be great. Thanks, in advance.
