Re: [JAWS-Users] My DVD Problem
Could be worth a try, as you have tried everything but changing the drive out, all US disks are region 1. However, with nothing selected, the drive should play any region. Mike mike@comcast.net -Original Message- From: Trish Sent: Sunday, March 08, 2015 7:57 AM To: Jaws Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] My DVD Problem I did a google search for this problem I am having, this is what I found. I did come across this region and nothing was selected, so wanted to ask yall if I should give this a try? I have an Asus N35SV laptop with Windows 7, Slimtype BD E DS4E1S model Bluray drive. I've checked their website which has no driver. I found them elsewhere and installed the newest and previous to that drivers in various ways. Tried Windows Update. Nothing works. No disc put into my drive will read. If I double-click in My Computer it ejects and asks me to insert a disc. CD, DVD, Bluray, video, audio, or data. Same results. response.. If you've tried all the discs, and none of them is working. You may try changing the location once. Right Click on My computer Click Manage Go to Device Manager Right click on Optical Drive and go to properties Click on Region By default i'll show no region selected, Change it to US, i'll show a binary value 1, save the changes, further check if it works Posted: July 30, 2014 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] CD Drive not Working
That doesn't sound too difficult. The stand alone devices also are duable. Nice to have options. Thanks for all of your help/suggestions, if it didn't solve the problem, least I gain some knowledge on how to look and check out drives and other devices.

[JAWS-Users] printer access
Since I changed internet providers I had the new modem/router installed in my grandson’s bedroom. First he does a lot of gaming and secondly it is more centrally located in the home. Because of that I am using a wireless usb card in my desktop computer and also have the printer set up wireless since it is in the back room. Can a wireless printer also be set up to be hard wired to a remote wireless desktop? Almost all of the printing and scanning is done by myself but he sometimes does print. If I could have my computer hardwired to the printer printing time would significantly be faster. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Read the steps first to familiarize yourself with the program. 1. find the program you want to uninstall in a list of programs that first comes up when you start the program. You need to use first letter navigation to do this or, use your arrow keys because I haven't found a way to put all the programs into list view. 2. With the program highlighted that you want to remove, open the context menu and press enter on uninstall. You will get a dialogue asking if you're sure you want to remove this program, tab to the yes option & press the spacebar. 3. Now it's time to choose the level at which revo uninstaller does its job. So, Shift + tab, into the options list. you have 4 modes Built-in, Safe, Moderate, & Advanced. I always choose advanced because some programs love to leave registry entries and little traces of themselves everywhere. These are radio buttons, so just choose the appropriate one. 4. Hit the next button and Revo will go to work and uninstall your program, so sit back for a minute or two. 5. This is when the fun really starts. After you hit the next button, Revo will display a number of left over files and registry entries from the program.hit the tab key and you should find a select all button, and a delete button. so first hit select all, followed by delete. You'll get a warning asking if you really want to do this? Answer yes. It'll then delete any files left over. Now depending on how the program is, it may next ask you to delete registry entries, this is the same as left over files. Don't worry, this is safe to do because it only deletes the registry entries that are for the application you're uninstalling, it won't delete anything else but that. So do the select all and delete thing again and answer yes. Sometimes, you might even see a screen that just has a tree view, but it has nothing displayed. In that case just do what you would normally do and hit select all and delete and that'll do it. After all that is done revo will display a dialogue with a finish button. Hit that, and you're done. you can then delete another program or close the program it's up to you. Sometimes you need to use the, Insert + F10, keystroke to open the Jaws task list & find the Revo remove option & press enter because you'll have landed on a blank window so you need to bring Revo back into focus.

Re: [JAWS-Users] google chrome
The menu you get when hitting alt is definitely different, but for the most part, you can browse the net and do most everything one is starting to not be able to do so well with Win XP-vintage explorer any more.

Since the drive says "Disable" in the context menu of Device Manager, that means that it is enabled of course. To find where to change the drive letter and path, you will need to go to Administrative Tools in Control Panel, open this, and close Component Services, and arrow down to Storage, and inside of this, focus on Disk Management. Everything I have read, says to tab to open Disk management, and this works, but I do not find the DVD drive in this list. I have seen it here before, but tonight I did not. Normally, in Disk management, you can focus on the drive in question, and right click it, and then find the "Change drive letter and path" item. You can check your computer to see if your DVD drive appears here or not. I will do some further research to try and find the correct answer to this question.

Both of these problems can be addressed in the device manager context menu when focused on the device. You should be able to open the context menu, and press enter on Enable, and take care of that problem. There is also the option to change the drive letter in the context menu as well.

Re: [JAWS-Users] CD Drive not Working
Thank you Mike for all your help, it is a mystery, which since everything seems to point to the device is enabled, it must be the device it's self or this Slimtype software hindering it from working. I plan to purchase the canned air and see if that makes any difference. If it's the device gone bad, is this something easily replaced or does it require some tech person to install?

Since the drive says "Disable" in the context menu of Device Manager, that means that it is enabled of course. To find where to change the drive letter and path, you will need to go to Administrative Tools in Control Panel, open this, and close Component Services, and arrow down to Storage, and inside of this, focus on Disk Management. Everything I have read, says to tab to open Disk management, and this works, but I do not find the DVD drive in this list. I have seen it here before, but tonight I did not. Normally, in Disk management, you can focus on the drive in question, and right click it, and then find the "Change drive letter and path" item. You can check your computer to see if your DVD drive appears here or not. I will do some further research to try and find the correct answer to this question.

Both of these problems can be addressed in the device manager context menu when focused on the device. You should be able to open the context menu, and press enter on Enable, and take care of that problem. There is also the option to change the drive letter in the context menu as well. If you cannot figure that one out, contact me off list, and I can guide you through the process.

But now in my system's tray, it is showing, the battery meter. I do not have a battery installed, I am running strictly from the power adapter cord. So, wondering why this is showing up? It only used to state, "no battery detected" Is this anything I should be concerned with? I entered on it, and was given 4 options; adjust screen brightness, power options, window's mobility center, and turn on/off task icons The screen brightness is at 40%, is this where it should be? Power options are for, sleeping and hibernating, etc. there is one item checked which states; balanced (recommended) other links to change these settings I already have it set to not go to sleep, no need for a password to wake it up either. Just wanted to run all this by yall.
