Re: [JAWS-Users] Saving a Word 2010 docx File Permission Error
Hi Liuda, First, did you run a virus and/or a malware scan on your computer? If so, and the problem persists, then try running a repair on your office installation. To do this: 1. Open Control Panel, and navigate to Programs and Features. 2. Open this and press the letter M for Microsoft. You will land on the first item which begins with the letter M. 3. Now, arrow on down until you find Microsoft Office 2010 4. open the Context menu by pressing the Applications key or the key combo Shift + F10, and arrow down to Change, and press Enter on this. 5. Here you will be prompted to repair your Office installation, and you can just follow the prompts to complete this task. I hope this fixes your problem, usually, if something suddenly starts to happen that did not before, and a virus and/or malware scan did not fix the problem, then this will do it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook 2010 Question
Tom, I have discovered the answer to your question I do believe. As it turns out, an IMAP account cannot save messages to the drafts folder by default in Outlook, and it cannot be made to do so at this point. As I stated earlier, they are stored in the Outlook Data File. Here is a link to some discussion on the Microsoft Answers website dealing with your exact issue: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/outlook-2010-imap-drafts-saved-to-incorrect/e6fd8117-8054-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5 This should clear the whole thing up for you.

Perhaps because I perform regular maintenance, I was fortunate in that the program did not find much in the way of items recommended for removal. As someone already pointed out, thank you Steve for the great directions, especially for that part where all running programs will be stopped, including JAWS. It is my understanding that the program does not actually install, rather, it is an executable file that is periodically updated and should probably be re-downloaded before running again: Is this correct? If so, it is kind of like Stinger or Microsoft's Safety Scanner, except much faster and more manageable.

In my experience, you have to tell windows what you want to run. For example, Run CMD takes you to an old-fashioned DOS command line. Run Msconfig takes you to the main Windows configuration file. Also, the command remembers the last several programs you ran, so, if you use a particular command frequently, you can save keystrokes. ted -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of anna vimini Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2014 2:28 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] flash player Hi Jim, I got to the run dialogue and typed run but the flash did not come up I even pressed enter on run and still flash player did not come up did I do something wrong?

Jim, Those instructions can't be right. Typing RUN from the run dialog won't open anything. There are two ways to see what version of flash you are running: 1. Go to control panel and look for flashplayer. Under the advanced tab, where the update settings are, you can see your current version using the Jaws cursor. 2. Open your browser. Go to the Tools, Add-ons page. Look under all add-ons, or currently loaded add-ons if you know Flash is running.

I don't know Windows 8.1. There may be another word which actuates the execute file in flash player. Try other variants of the term - flash, flash player, adobe flash... Or go as if you would delete the program. Ask for details. You may hear its version before you actually hit the delete button. You may also go to the adobe site and find out the latest version. If you did not download an update in the last few weeks, you may not have the latest one. As a last resort, go to the adobe site and download the latest version, If you already have it, you'll be notified.

I'm always on the lookout for a good computer purger. I decided to try Adwcleaner based on your recommendations. First, since neither your message nor the Adwcleaner website mentioned the price, I was glad to find it was free. Second, your tutorial told me exactly what to expect. Third, my results showed me some registry entries I had never noticed so I decided it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and clean them. Finally, my computer is still working fine. So I think this is a keeper. Thanks for your recommendation.

When IE11 crashes for me, I usually only have 1 or 2 tabs open and I have a GB of ram. I haven't loaded 16 because the initial reports were not positive, but will do so now.

[JAWS-Users] Reading guitar tabs with Jaws
Hello list, So Im trying to figure out how to read tabs for the guitar. Ive always played by ear or memorization, but figured Id finally learn tabs. Doing so however seems a bit challenging with Jaws. Im sure it in part has to do with my lack of familiarity with tabs in general, but with all the Es, bs, gs and dashes and so on, it sounds like Jaws is just reading a bunch of gibberish. Can anyone recommend a better method or tips on how to decipher these hieroglyphics with JFW. My guitar learning was all done in Spanish. So Im also trying to get used to the notes in English.
