Hello. I am using jaws 16 and windows 7 and windows live mail. I opened my windows live mail program and created a message. I misspelled a word so I could use spell check.

Re: [JAWS-Users] vista laptop and wind7 home
I do some tech work, unless you have a copy of Windows 7 32-bit already and just want to do it, sure. But, it isn't worth it, otherwise. If you need to buy a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit, you can find them for $90 on Amazon. I don't think you can do an in-place upgrade with an OEM copy. So, you'll need to backup your laptop, then re-format and install Windows 7. If you are going to pay a tech to do this, you're probably looking at a couple hours. You'd be better off buying a refurbished Windows 7 Home Premium laptop. I've seen some for $150 or so and possibly higher if you want better specs. You can see if your laptop will run Windows 7 by running the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor which you can dowload at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20 It will show you hardware specs, what if any software drivers may not work in Windows 7.

Re: [JAWS-Users] vista laptop and wind7 home
I should add, Kathy, that Vista will have security updates into at least mid-2016. Windows 7 is until early 2020 as I recall, and with the market penetration of Windows 7, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it got extended as XP's life cycle got extended. Next year, we'll see Windows 10 get released. I assume the next release of Jaws will have the ability to work with the new features in Windows 10. It should be nicer, from what I've read, than Windows 8. So, you can always save money and use your current laptop and get something newer in a year or so that will support all the features of the newer Windows including touchscreen gestures; which would not be available at all on your older machine.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2007 help
Ann, You can create new rules easily when using the later versions of Outlook. I am referring to the e-mail sorting capability. Other rules and alerts can be created. CREATING A RULE IN MICROSOFT OUTLOOK: 1. Focus on the message on which you would like to create a rule. I use rules to divide the messages and send them to folders. 2. Press the Applications key or use Shift F10. 3. Down arrow until you hear "Create Rule" and press Enter on that option. 4. Outlook gives you several options you can use which includes simply sending that particular message directly to a folder. To create a rule, tab until you hear something like, "When I get messages from, - - - -" Edit that information until you have only what you need to sort the message. For example, "jaws-users-boun...@jaws-users.com" Further along in the same dialog, is a checkbox indicating "Subject Contains". Using this option, you can edit the information to look for specific contents in the Subject field of any message. For example, I choose the name of the e-mail list and edit the field so that only that information is shown. 5. Continue tabbing until you locate the checkbox indicating "Move To Folder" and press spacebar to put a check there. 6. As soon as you check that option, you will be able to tab to a folder list. Press Enter on the folder name you would like to use. If you need to create a new folder, be sure to move up until you reach the top of your list marked "Personal Folders". If you Shift Tab at that point, you'll reach the "New" option. Press Enter and add the folder name when prompted. In this way, your new folder will be a part of the main list, not a sub-folder created within an existing folder. 7. The focus will be returned to the option marked "Move To Folder". Tab carefully through and make sure that the correct folder is chosen. Tab to Okay and press Enter. You may be asked if you'd like to apply the new rule to already existing messages. Press Enter and the new rule will be applied to the contents of your In Basket. IMPORTED RULES: There are rare occasions when a rule created in Outlook Express will work in Outlook but in most cases, they do not. One of the functions you will find in the Rules option is something called "Manage Rules and Alerts". If you press Enter on this function, you will eventually come to a list of rules. You can delete any of those old Outlook rules here. You may need to use the "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons if your list is extensive. When you press the Delete key, you will be asked to confirm your choice. In this section, you can also activate any or all of the rules you have created manually. MESSAGE CONTENT DISPLAYED: The Outlook defaults will usually provide most of the information you are looking for unless the View settings have been changed. Ann, be very careful with these settings. It is possible to inadvertently create a situation where your messages will not be read at all. There is a "Restore To Default" option. The condition of your screen will often determine how much information is being shown. When you open Outlook, make sure that the display is set on Full Screen, not Restored or one of the other options. You mentioned the .pst file. That file stores your Outlook environment. It contains a list of your folders and any other view options you may have chosen. The file is updated every time you open and close Outlook. I recommend that you do a file search and save a copy of the .pst file to another location before making any changes in the View settings. In that way, you can go back to the original by importing the .pst file you have saved. That is a fallback for you if you run into trouble with the settings in the View tab. The Import and Export options are located under the File tab on your navigation ribbon. I hope that this helps you, Ann. Someone else may have already answered your questions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] automatic maintence
Sorry Anna, This is something that I do not see in my system tray. I only see "Toolbar Solve PC Issues:", and then it will say "1 messages button". From here I press the enter key to get to the Action Center, then click on either Security or Maintenance to see what the problem is. It is usually something simple that needs to be addressed.
