Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS-Users] JAWS and Windows 8
My experience has been that copying files from one location to another is also much faster on Windows 8.1. Processor speed accounts for some of it but not all. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Moore Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2015 5:55 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS-Users] JAWS and Windows 8 Hello. I am replying to the message about whether Windows 8.1 is harder to use than Windows 7. I really think that Windows 8.1, make sure you have 8.1, is much easier to use than Windows 7. Here are some reasons why. There are many more search edit boxes where you can put a few words in and find what you want. You don't have to go through all of the drives and folders to find things. Also, the desktop is exactly the same as Windows 7. Also, there is a setting that you can easily find that will put the computer on the desktop by default when the computer is first turned on. The files explorer is much easier to use, because you look for this PC in the tree view, and everything you need is right under that, like documents, music, and so on. There is a search field in the control panel. You don't have to look for anything in the control panel. You can go to the control panel and put a few words in the search and find what you are looking for in the search results. The start screen is much better, because there are all kinds of apps on there that you can use with JAWS. Starting with JAWS 15, the touch cursor is available which simulates touching the screen by using the keyboard. Also, I have had no better security than I have experienced with 8.1. It is much faster. Also, there many more windows key commands which can get you to where you want to go much faster. I really suggest 8.1 over Windows 7 any day. Go and get it now.

I have always recommended to my clients (both sighted and blind) that they wait at least until service pack one is released for any new operating system or major software package. It blows me away how many people want to jump right in to a new operating system (be it Microsoft or Apple) on the first day that it is released. And then for months, they bombard the lists with complaints about things not working as they expected. As I have said for more years than I care to mention, if it is doing the job that needs to be done, leave it alone. That is why I am still using Jaws 14 on my main desktop, even though I have the SMA to upgrade it. I did not like some of the issues I found with Jaws 15 and 16, and 14 is working just fine for me. Also, there are plenty of high-end Windows 7 laptops and desktops available from sources such as NewEgg and eBay, that can be purchased for a fraction of their original price. I recently purchased two beautiful Lenovo Thinkpads, for about 15% of what they sold for new just three years ago.

Please note. Windows 10 is still a work in progress. Freedom Scientific will certainly keep tabs on things as they develop and make the necessary changes. THE EDGE WEB BROWSER: Microsoft has already made massive changes in this new web browser and they admit that it is not as good as was hoped.

THE NEW WINDOWS 10 CONFIGURATION: Microsoft has heard us and is trying to bring back the older configurations like Windows XP and Windows 7. According to an article published by Microsoft, their attempt to design a Start menu which worked well with smart phones and IPads, resulted in numerous complaints from PC users. The version of Windows 10 scheduled for release can give you a taste of what is coming but that too is currently in a fluid state. I asked a Microsoft representative why they are sending out a product which is still imperfect or incomplete. His response was, Look, we're going to hit most of our customers at home with this new software. Some will buy it because it is new. Our free upgrade will add many more customers to our list. What we're trying to do is get away from 8.1. We have had so many problems with that version of Windows. We almost had to do this to keep from losing too many retail customers to the Apple software.

That doesn't mean we won't work to fix these issues but we won't be able to do it right away. I asked him how we should proceed in the meantime. His suggestion was to maintain our current versions of Windows or, ideally, load Windows 10 but change the Default browser to Internet Explorer, still available in this new release.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Copy attachment
Hi D J, Karen gave you one way to do it. In my opinion, this one is a bit more navigable for someone who isn't familiar with the process. 1. Press ALT+F to open the File menu 2. Tab down to the Save Attachments dialog and press enter 3. Locate the Okay button and press Enter again Note: You have now isolated the attachment. 4. If you press Enter on the Save button, Windows will save the attachment to the default location, usually Documents 5. To specify a saved location, tab over to the folder tree and locate the one you want it placed in 6. Back space to the Save button and press Enter. That seems more complicated but it is easier to work with. I have found that Karen's method sometimes works while at other times, for whatever reason, the attachment file doesn't show.

Hi Neal. About learning Windows 8.1. If you get on Freedom Scientific's web site, there are webinars and podcasts that will walk you through using JAWS with Windows 8.1. All of this training on their site is like having someone sit down beside you. All of the free archives of the free webinars done by Dan Clark and Ryan Jones are the best.

Re: [JAWS-Users] WINDOWS 10, OBSERVATIONS AND ANALYSIS
John, I completely agree with you. I have always recommended to my clients (both sighted and blind) that they wait at least until service pack one is released for any new operating system or major software package. It blows me away how many people want to jump right in to a new operating system (be it Microsoft or Apple) on the first day that it is released. And then for months, they bombard the lists with complaints about things not working as they expected. As I have said for more years than I care to mention, if it is doing the job that needs to be done, leave it alone.

Re: [JAWS-Users] WINDOWS 10, OBSERVATIONS AND ANALYSIS
Just about my plan. I think I am going to get IE loaded and Outlook. This list has been a life saver to help me get some kind of understanding about what I am facing and things to do about it - oh yes, Adobe, PDF and Installer. I might have thought of Adobe and PDF, but for this list, I would not have known about Installer, and I want to read my cousin's book, which are available online. So I have compiled a list, which I adjust from time to time. Then after the first of the year, I'll get JAWS 17, then trot myself to the local computer builder, printed list in hand (punch sheet, as it were), and have a little talk to see what we can do. I can always get a computer from another supplier, if I can't get the help here that it appears that I will get. One thing favorable is what my husband knows, and he'll be with me, but thinks I need to get professionals to set things up to make sure that JAWS is king, even though he did load JAWS on this rebuilt one, which has done fine.
