Re: [JAWS-Users] trying to return an item to Amazon
My experience is that while AMAZON whill enforce the return garuntee as well as keeping the delivery date, it is often better to click on the link to contact the seller directly. They will often respond quickly with replacement as well as without mailing charges so as to avoid Amazon's mandates and negative reviews.Of course this will vary with the vendor and cost of the defective item. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf of Michael B.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Script Issue
Hi In JAWS 16, FS added code to determine if native JAWS code or events were being processed normally. After some specified time, if they are not being processed, this code assumes that something is in an infinite loop and will restart JAWS. I don't know if this code was added in a JAWS script, or in the JAWS base code itself. While a JAWS script is running, JAWS native code is not running. So in JAWS 16, there is a maximum elapsed time that a JAWS script can run. I have a JAWS script that looks for and documents debugging code I have added to scripts I've created which can run several minutes. I know it's monopolizing The PC, but I am willing to wait. I do not know if there's a way to change the default time a script is allowed to run or not. So there's no way I can run this script in JAWS 16. But it will still run fine in JAWS 15 and earlier. So if you're authorized for JAWS 16, you can run your script in JAWS 15 or earlier and then return to JAWS 16. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of East, Robin Sent: Friday, July 17, 2015 10:07 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Script Issue Folks can anyone tell me how to disable the JAWS new autoStart event. And, then how to re-enable it. I may be calling this event by the wrong name but it is the function that if JAWS crashes JAWS will automatically re-start. In the script below JAWS will crash and then re-start in JAWS 16. Using same script in JAWS 12 it does work. Please see see script for testing below and if anyone has any ideas for me please let me know. I thank you. Note, I have put this to FS and I am told to go back to basics of Scripting and that my variables are wrong and I need to use the LET . I am also told it is an infinite loop thus JAWS crashes. However, LET was dropped in JAWS 11 and this loop works in JAWS 12 and if one reduces the numbers you will find it does work in JAWS 16. However, with the current numbers of which I ned JAWS crashes, I believe, due to the new autoStart event. Just a guess. Put script in wordpad and attach a key var int i, int loopR, int loopC, int year, int colNum, int multiplier while loopR < 21 ;IniWriteString(ExtraScreenTitle,inttostring(loopR + multiplier), "Account #" + inttostring(loopR ) + "|0" + inttostring(loopR +6) +"|26|", extrafieldpath) delay(2) year = 2015 loopC = 1 colNum = 39 while loopC < 13 ;IniWriteString(ExtraScreenTitle,inttostring(loopR + loopC + multiplier), inttostring(year) + " for account #" + inttostring(loopR ) + "|0" + inttostring(loopR +6) + "|" + inttostring(colNum) + "|", extrafieldpath) delay(2) colNum = colNum + 3 loopC = loopC + 1 year = year - 1 EndWhile saystring(inttostring(loopR) + " completed") loopR = loopR + 1 multiplier = multiplier + 12 EndWhile saystring("FULL TEST completed") robin 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] returning item
If one has placed an order on the computer and is trying to return it on the computer one should not have to use the phone. Some of us don't want to spend time sitting on hold, slogging through menus and spend an hour doing something they should be able to do in minutes. I happen to be one of those persons, I hate sitting on hold, dislike the music and the advertisements, hate being transferred multiple times to finally get the right person. I'd love to have a person around who would do that kind of stuff for me, my late husband did mainly over the last years because I was working. I am not now but I want to just give up entirely after spending hours on such detritus. I want to order from the computer, communicate and walk away for a while. Given any choice at all I will use the computer over the phone for anything dealing with supposed customer support. Cousin loves the phone, thinks she gets something accomplished, I let her do it if at all possible and I spend time in another room. Customer service is, in my humble opinion usually so frustrating that I am tempted to have the phone taken out. Nothing worse than waiting and waiting for the correct person to assist and it happens all the time. Point being made is every part of a purchase or return should be accessible to everyone!

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws license for my computer
Hi, You have three key counters normally, when you install JAWS, you have to activate it which uses up one of these keys. If you run out of keys, you can contact Freedomscientific to request a reset. Not sure how many machines the licence covers,, may 1 or two installs, you could try contacting Freedomscientific to verify this, supp...@freedomscientific.com. If you format or wipe the machine, the installation key will be lost and you won't be able to retreave it. I hope that this is of some help. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of dan Sent: 18 July 2015 09:37 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws license for my computer hi, general question about jaws hone license. what ar the ristrictions. how many pcs can you use the same key on and what happens if you format the pc? e > On 18 Jul 2015, at 00:49, TheHangMan wrote: > > Hi Petras, > As you know California is 3 hour behind us here on the east coast states. > > So, if you call at 5 am, in florida is 8 am. > > Good Luck and nice of you to attend the NFB. > > Jorge > > -Original Message- > From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] > On Behalf Of petras > Sent: Friday, July 17, 2015 6:45 PM > To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws license for my computer > > From whaq time?

Re: [JAWS-Users] modes of communications (returning item)
I have a phone can't get rid of it without dumping my internet, and I have a cell phone, however, I dislike trying to get customer service to do anything. I watch my cousin and her husband grab a phone call and spend more than 30 minutes just getting directed to the correct person, I could do a lot of things in that same period of time, read a book, clean, walk, write 20 or more e-mail, shop and buy on the internet. It absolutely annoys me to listen to someone telling the same story to five different people listen to that horrid stuff they call music and it isn't in my book, and then maybe get your issue solved to your satisfaction. I avoid it whenever possible and sit here tense and ready to toss anything at anything else when I must do it. Due to a hearing problem, hard to listen to something else while waiting. I feel like I am wasting time, even though I am now no longer working, and can waste time, I dislike doing it on something I dislike so much. Friends may call me, I may talk for hours on the phone, not all that often, but, I hate customer service phone calls.My time is as valuable as theirs. Sorry, this is definitely a hot button for me. I have had to make some of these calls since my husband passed last year to change utilities to my name ... and I usually end up angry or depressed after I have had to sit for hours and, some phone conversations have lasted more than an hour and a half trying to accomplish something that should have taken no more than 15 minutes.

Some of us don't want to spend time sitting on hold, slogging through menus and spend an hour doing something they should be able to do in minutes. I happen to be one of those persons, I hate sitting on hold, dislike the music and the advertisements, hate being transferred multiple times to finally get the right person. I'd love to have a person around who would do that kind of stuff for me, my late husband did mainly over the last years because I was working. I am not now but I want to just give up entirely after spending hours on such detritus. I want to order from the computer, communicate and walk away for a while. Given any choice at all I will use the computer over the phone for anything dealing with supposed customer support. Cousin loves the phone, thinks she gets something accomplished, I let her do it if at all possible and I spend time in another room. Customer service is, in my humble opinion usually so frustrating that I am tempted to have the phone taken out. Nothing worse than waiting and waiting for the correct person to assist and it happens all the time. Point being made is every part of a purchase or return should be accessible to everyone!

[JAWS-Users] Automatic updates
Hello Gang: I called the Microsoft Disability HelpDesk this morning. They downloaded all updates, including IE 11: I am having no problems in the things I use. So, it seems wonderful. I have elected to have updates automatically downloaded. In the past, I had elected to not automatically have them downloaded. Is automatic downloads a good idea?

Allow Application Reserved Keystrokes explained: Certain interactive Web sites may offer hot keys to perform some common tasks. For example, on the Facebook Web site you can press P to post a status, L to like a story, C to comment on a story, or J and K to scroll between News Feed stories. However, these keystrokes also conflict with JAWS Navigation Quick Keys.

I will agree with you on one point. You are correct, there are no stupid questions. SMILES. The reason why I couldn't find settings because of the following. I thought when you were talking settings that you mint settings for the pc and not jaws settings. I now have the new feature set. So a huge huge thanks. Ron U.S ham radio station KR3DOG-WCECTM.

The only stupid question, is the question that is not asked. Noone knows everything. There are 2 ways to get to the Settings Center that I know of: #1. Press, Insert / Jaws Key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard. #2. Press, Insert / Jaws key + the F2 Key, to open the Jaws Manager, arrow down to, Settings Center, & press enter. Or, while in the Jaws Manager press the letter, S, until you land on Settings Center & press enter. To open the Settings Center - Default All Applications: After opening the, Settings Center, press, control, shift + D. HTH Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

I'm running win 7 64 bit. Asking a stupid question. Where would the setting center be at? I've tired to find each step of your instructions and everything comes back empty. So, I sadly can not take advantage of the new jaws feature that you are talking about in your letter. Could you help me out? Many thanks.

Where to find, & it's explanation is below. 1. Open the Settings Center & then the default Settings Center for all applications. 2. Arrow down to, Web / HTML / PDFs, & press right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to, Miscellaneous, right arrow to open. 4. Arrow down to, Allow Web Application Reserve keystrokes, & press the spacebar to check it. 5. Tab to, Apply, press the spacebar, tab to the, Okay button, press enter to save & close. Allow Application Reserved Keystrokes explained: Certain interactive Web sites may offer hot keys to perform some common tasks. For example, on the Facebook Web site you can press P to post a status, L to like a story, C to comment on a story, or J and K to scroll between News Feed stories. However, these keystrokes also conflict with JAWS Navigation Quick Keys. When this check box is selected, any JAWS keystrokes that are also defined as hot keys by a Web site will perform the site specific task instead of the JAWS command. This check box is cleared by default HTH Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. Go Dodgers!
