Ok, I found this on a Microsoft Answers site; hope this helps...

tion about the differences between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook
Express e-mail clients, click the following article number to view the
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
257824 OL2000: Differences Between Outlook and Outlook Express
Symptoms
When you start Outlook Express, some of your default folders (Inbox, 
Drafts,

and so on) or personal subfolders that you created may be missing from the
Local Folders list. The folders were previously visible.

Cause
This issue can occur if the Folders.dbx file is damaged or corrupted.

Resolution
To resolve this issue, rename the Folders.dbx file for the impacted 
identity
and then start Outlook Express. This allows Outlook Express to rebuild a 
new

Folders.dbx file.

To rename and rebuild the Folders.dbx file:

 1.. In Outlook Express, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click
the Maintenance tab.
 2.. Click Store Folder, and then make a note of the path to your Store
folder on your disk drive. You cannot type in this box, but you can move
through the box by using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard.
 3.. Close the Store Folder and Options dialog boxes, and then quit 
Outlook

Express.
 4.. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
 5.. Locate the Store folder (you noted the path to the Store folder in
step 2).
 6.. Right-click the Folders.dbx file in this folder, and then click 
Rename

on the shortcut menu.
 7.. Type Folders.old, and then press the ENTER key. Make sure that the
file is renamed to Folders.old, and then quit Windows Explorer.
 8.. Start Outlook Express. This automatically creates a new Folders.dbx
file; your folders should be displayed correctly.
NOTE: Always back up your data before you make any modifications to any
message store files, such as the Folders.dbx file. For additional

Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference for jaws users?

[Scorpio]

You have to remember that there's a number of events that happen when 
processes occur.


In terms of applications, especially when talking about internet and 
Internet Explorer, depending on how much RAM you have, it will always run 
that stuff in sequential order, plus you have things that are being written 
to the hard drive, so if you have a hard drive that spins at 5200 rpm, as 
opposed to a hard drive spinning at 72 or 10,000 rpm, you'll get faster 
access times from the latter two, then the former.


It'll also depend on how much cache memory that hard drive has, so while you 
may have a really fast processor, all those things are still effecting the 
status of the computer's performance.


I'm not even getting into the transmission speeds of internet services, 
website access times, and other background applications that may be running 
in the background, such as Dropbox or the Send Space Wizard, or both, and if 
you've got One Drive on your computer as well, your hard drive is being 
accessed by those applications also.


Let's not forget Java, the Adobe sweet of products looking for updates, and 
your anti-virus and drive cleaners, especially if you've got professional 
versions of those programs that are always active, so, it's not as simple as 
just processor performance.


No matter what you get, an i5, or i7 processor, unless you've got thousands 
of dollars to spend getting better than average other stuff on your 
computer, you'll still get that lag after a while.

On 7/23/17, Steve  wrote:

There are i5 processors that will do better than i7, for general computing
purposes, particularly if you put the extra cash into some more memory.

Typically, if you use large spreadsheets or do some video editing or
intensive gaming, then you want an i7 because it allows a lot more
hyperthreading; i.e. if you get an eight-core I7 it will run 16
hyperthreads, while an I5 is limited to four threads, even if it has four
cores.

If money is not an object, go for the fastest I7 you can get with a good
amount of memory.  But, if you are just using it for everyday things like
email and browsing, then go for a processor which might be a bit less
powerful but has a lot less energy usage so you can conserve your battery
for more operating hours.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Find & Find/Replace Have Changed in Word2010

[The Iowa Gal]

Hi Fernando, I really like the functionality you describe by doing the find in 
the navigation pane. It seems as though that is what I am currently doing from 
what Brian says, so I intend to leave it as is. 
Thanks guys for letting me in on something I did not know about Word 2010, your

I find that the Navigation Pane is more useful than the classic Find and 
Replace dialog when you don't need to use buildcards nor other advanced 
filtering methods.
When you press CTRL+F, a task pane called Navigation Pane will appear; if you 
have the Office Sounds add-on installed, you'll ear the sound assigned to the 
New View event.
To go to this panel, just press F6.
Regarding searching, when you start typing the caret in the document will move 
automatically to the results while you type. Press ENTER to go to the next 
result, and tab to the Previous Result button to go to the prior. The advantage 
compared to the classic Find and Replace dialog is that there are buttons which 
counts how many results are and, when tabbing, JAWS will read each result so 
you can press SPACEBAR on the one you want to directly move to it in the 
document. Moreover, in the Navigation Pane you can also move by headings. This 
last feature is not very useful in small documents because JAWS has the heading 
list with INSERT+F7, but for large documents where this JAWS keystroke times 
out and don't return results this Word feature helps a lot.

Hello Norma,

It sounds like you are still getting the navigation pane search feature when 
you use the CTRL+F command.  If you have some sight and can see the list of 
results using this pane then you might prefer it.  Otherwise, you might want to 
get CTRL+F to bring up the Find and Replace dialog like it did in earlier 
versions of Word.  If that is the case then here is another suggestion.


In addition to having CTRL+F for EditFind and CTRL+H for EditReplace you might 
want to make sure that the keystroke is removed from the NavPaneSearch item.  

After using Alt+F followed by Alt+T, pressing C for "Customize ribbon", and 
launching the "Customize keyboard" dialog box by using the Customize button, 
just arrow down to the Home tab.
Use the tab key to move to the list of commands for the Home tab.
Press the letter "N" and then use down arrow to find the "NAVPaneSearch"
item and check to see if the CTRL+F is still being used by that command.  If so 
you can remove it or replace it with another keystroke to launch the navigation 
pane search.  
You can then go into the EditFind item in the same list of commands for the 
Home tab and make sure CTRL+F is applied to that item.  

 I thought I would mention this because I wasn't sure if you want CTRL+F to 
launch the navigation pane or the Find and Replace dialog box.  

Take care.

to
manage, but after you become familiar with it, it isn't too bad.  It lets
you direct-add subscribers in chunks of 10, it used to have a captcha, but
now it is only a question that you must check saying "I am not a robot"
and
it also lets you easily invite people, in addition to the normal

I just wanted to mention that the email list that Tom mentioned, which had

people who had Gmail accounts. However, it, too, had its own server and
there were several providers, including mine, who blocked its messages as
spam. The problem was solved by moving the list to io Groups.

Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference for jaws users?

[Steve]

I doubt that in itself would make much difference.

You have other issues to consider:

First, amount of memory.

Second, type of hard-drive.

Memory is pretty self-explanatory.

In terms of hard drives, most laptops come with a 5400RPM drive; whereas 
desktops come with 7200RPM drives.  This, essentially, slows down the speed 
at which data is retrieved and transferred to your computer's processor and 
cache memory.

almost-weekly basis.

But, I got tired of having to use the Jaws cursor to click certain things in

the Googlegroups setup a few years ago and have since moved all my groups 
either to Freelists or Groups.io.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Find & Find/Replace Have Changed in Word2010

[Brian Lee]

Hello Norma,

It sounds like you are still getting the navigation pane search feature when
you use the CTRL+F command.  If you have some sight and can see the list of
results using this pane then you might prefer it.  Otherwise, you might want
to get CTRL+F to bring up the Find and Replace dialog like it did in earlier
versions of Word.  If that is the case then here is another suggestion.


In addition to having CTRL+F for EditFind and CTRL+H for EditReplace you
might want to make sure that the keystroke is removed from the NavPaneSearch
item.  

After using Alt+F followed by Alt+T, pressing C for "Customize ribbon", and
launching the "Customize keyboard" dialog box by using the Customize button,
just arrow down to the Home tab.
Use the tab key to move to the list of commands for the Home tab.
Press the letter "N" and then use down arrow to find the "NAVPaneSearch"
item and check to see if the CTRL+F is still being used by that command.  If
so you can remove it or replace it with another keystroke to launch the
navigation pane search.  
You can then go into the EditFind item in the same list of commands for the
Home tab and make sure CTRL+F is applied to that item.  

 I thought I would mention this because I wasn't sure if you want CTRL+F
to launch the navigation pane or the Find and Replace dialog box.  

Take care.

Well I may have resolved this issue. Following Brian's instructions, I

Control+F for find but Control+H was set for find/replace so I left it.
After closing down and restarting Word, Control+F does bring up the search

If the two commands mentioned above already have the correct keystrokes

am left in the ribbon or in a drop-down menu on the Ribbon, and I cannot
complete a Find or a Find/Replace.  I am in some type of edit box that

Do not use the latest Skype scripts, use the classic Skype install and it is
on their page, just google download skype desktop and it should be right
there on their front page. Then for scripts, you want to download D Lee's
Skype scripts and the link is  dlee.org/skype
Go to your links list when on the page with insert/F7, go to the end of the
list with control/end and then arrow up 2 times and download that set of
scripts, it will be called, Script version 622b executable installer.
Don't forget to go into Skype tools and options with alt/t, O, go to the
bottom of the options with control/end to turn on accessibility, tab in once
and check the accisibility box and you should be good to go.

Have you checked the memory usage? If it's relying on the swap file

Brian,

I gave it a try.  It appeared that Control+F and Control+H were in there,
but I reentered them for good measure.  I closed out of Word, and when I
re-opened it, there was no change.  When I use these commands, I am in the
Ribbon or a submenu of the ribbon.

Hi Brian,

Good thing Norma replied to your message.  I never got it.  I'm not sure
what that is all about.  

Towards the bottom of your message you said to use Control+r for Replace.
Control+R is for Right Justify.  

I'm going to take a stab at your instructions and see where they get me.

Hi Brian, I am having the same problem with Control F not bringing up the
find in Word 2010. If this key combo was set to go to the navigation pane, I
am puzzled as to why we are seeing this issue now, given the age of the
program. Previously, the Control F to do a find command worked fine. I just
started having this problem yesterday. I will attempt to follow your

they are not as they should be. Thanks, Norma

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 and PDF?

[Humberto Rodriguez]

Hello Michele,

After you open the PDF document, press Insert-Spacebar, you will hear a
click, then press the letter O and after that letter D to scan the entire
document.  It will open another windows into which, dependeng on the size of
the document, soon will appear the test.  From there you can copy it and
paste into a text editor or word processor.

Open Book will open PDF documents directly, just open the program, go to the
File menu to open a d ocument or press Control-O and open it from there.

Regards,


Humberto

Hi everyone. I'm still getting my head around JAWS 18. How do you access
Convenient OCR? Also, I purchased OpenBook a few months ago and am still on
the waiting list for training. Can anyone give me a few pointers to get
started with PDFS?

Thanks

Michele

> Hi, Vicky. I'll answer with a qualified yes. I'm assuming that JAWS 16
doesn't have the Convenient OCR feature, but I could be wrong. With
convenient OCR, JAWS makes it easy to convert PDF files. The typical
sequence of keystrokes is JAWS key+spacebar, then o for OCR, then d for
document. You wait a while, not long at all for short documents and maybe a
few minutes for longer ones, and then the text of the PDF file is displayed
in a new window.

Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference for jaws users?

[Joseph Lee]

Hi,
In this case, processor may not be the culprit; rather, it might be disk
usage, programs you're using and what not.
Cheers,
Joseph

Currently I am using I5 laptop, what I face some time, after opening several
programmes like Kurzweil, few internet explorer tabs, my Dell laptop perform
very slow. Is that the result of i5 processor, would it run smoothly with i7
in this scenario?
