Re: [JAWS-Users] Laptop or desk top?

[ChB]

I have a desktop pc, a laptop and a netbook. I like them all and each is
great for what occasions I use them for.
So, if you ask 100 people you will probably get as many different answers,
because it depends so much on where and how you mostly use your computer, if
you plan to take it places and so far.

 Hi
 I started on desktop computers in 1987 and a couple of years ago
 bought my first laptop. It is wonderful! Then I needed a second/third
 computer. So, I bought the acer laptop that was on sale at the computer I
 love it also. The HP laptop does have more features though.

 God bless,

Re: [JAWS-Users] greeting message

Make sure you are in the very first 'if' line, then make sure you go to the
end of that line before you hit enter hit enter once. This will create a
space between that line and the next one. The  StartupGreeting () needs to
be pasted into that. If you have done this as well as all previous stuff
right it should compile directly.

Re: [JAWS-Users] successful win 7 install, works well with jaws 10

I did a clean install, because I also created a couple of new partitions and

booted from it.
for an upgrade to install over existing os, I guess you can use jaws and

Re: [JAWS-Users] successful win 7 install, works well with jaws 10

[ChB]

I had help putting in the license and stuff it asks, right at the beginning.
Then I just let it run its course. Then I got the jaws cd and just popped it
in and went from there. I don't know if one can do this totally unassisted,
I just always get it done with the initial launch of the installs, when
someone is available to help with the numbers and stuff. There is a thing
called unattended installs or at least used to be for xp, have never tried
this though. This is what companies also use, when they have a lot of
computers to install the same systems on, so they do not have to watch them
all while installing is in progress.
As far as clean installing, main thing is to make sure you have all your
files saved before wiping the drives clean. And then have all drivers handy
you may need. With win 7 I did not even need my additional windows 7
drivers, I had already downloaded prior.

How much slower depends to a great part on the machine you
plan to run windows 7 on. If you have acomputer that can
barely handle xp, of course win 7 is not going to be faster.
On the other hand win 7 will be much more of a power saver

 I think it would be more correct to say that Microsoft
took
 too long to
 develop Vista, released it too soon, and made many PR
 mistakes rolling it
 out.  Vista works well now, and much more secure than XP.
 For me, it's main
 remaining problem is that it requires too much resources.
 It seems that
 Microsoft has learned from their Vista mistakes.  Windows
is
 a streamlined
 version of Vista and needs less memory CPU and hard disk!

 The only free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 is if you
 purchased a computer
 within the last few months.  I have not heard of any other
 free upgrades,
 and doubt if they would do that.  There was a pre-order
 upgrade for $50, but
 that offer is no longer available.  These upgrade packages
 can be applied to
 either Vista or XP.  Windows 7 Premium is the most logical
 upgrade for most
 people.  There is now a family pack available for about
$150
 that allows
 upgrading 3 computers.  I hear that there is also a
discount
 student version
 for around $30.  It seems that all that is necessary to
 qualify for this
 discount is an email ending with .edu.

I have never had any problems installing updates. They are
good to get to keep up with the latest improvements and
security patches. If you do not want the latest IE, then
unmark this and it won't be included in the updates any
more, in the future.

Betreff: Re: [JAWS-Users] how to set up Avast so it works better with Jaws

Thank you for this info, Mike.  I have it running but am now wondering about

updates.  Since this is the free version, do I need to update it myself once

a week or so, or does this update definitions regularly?

And is it normal for it to take a very long time to do a thorough scan?  I 
think this is what it's set on, and it barely moves percentage-wise and has 
so far taken about an hour.  I have 2 hard drives in here so maybe that's 
the norm but just wanted to know.

Thanks again.

How fast is your processor/ram? It takes me about 20 -25 minutes for a
thorough scan and I have a huge drive, 500 gigs.

Chrissy and others, I think I may not have all the check boxes correct. 
Would I just check the archive and hard disc ones, or leave them all 
unchecked?  I definitely don't have folders checked because it looked pretty

confusing when I did try, but wondered how you have your check boxes set up.

I appreciate your help.

Run it and open your winzip archive that you are trying to get the password
to. Leave minimal password length set to 1, max any number you like but make
sure it is higher than your passwords usually are.
Check all boxes for symbols, except user defined. the process takes longer
but this way you are all covered. Hit 'attack'and mark automatic which is
the default, brute force can be selected as well, your call.
Then hit go and specify where to save the found password to.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Sound for when a download is complete

[ChB]

If it is a windows event sound you can use any sound file in
wav format to use for events that are supposed to have a
sound accompany them. For instance I downloaded a toliet
flush wav sound and assigned it to my empty recycle bin .

Howdy everyone,

I just bought a new Asus EEE Netbook computer.  I installed the latest
version of JAWS I won (7.10).  

The machine is loaded with I.E. 8.0, and I can't get JAWS to read anything.
Other applications seem to work fine with minor work-arounds, but I.E. is
impossible.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

The keys elaine gave are correct. Windows key + M minimizes all open

Re: [JAWS-Users] outlook express.

[ChB]

That I don't know. With regualr folders they usually go back automatically
to the original location.
I just found this tutorial in a mail forum, you may want to give ita try.
Have not checked to see if this will work as I'd hate to mess with my
outlook setup but since the damage was done already it can't hurt to try:

Explore to the Local Settings folder for your identity, then Application
Data - Identites The location for the settings folder is: Documents and
Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities.
There will be several folders with #'s for names with subfolders Microsoft -
Outlook Express. Once you find the one with your e-mails. MOVE, Delete or
Rename the Folders.dbx file. The next time you open OE it will rebuild the
folders list (and the missing links). You'll have to re-sort everything, but
the missing folder should show up.

As always, use at your own risk, hope this helps

If in your recycle bin try and open the bin, arrow down to the item and hit
the application key, the first item that comes up is 'restore' hit enter on

[JAWS-Users] Windows 7: Start Menu and recommended settings

[ChB]

Hi listers,
yesterday I read an article about what all has been changed in windows 7 as
opposed to vista, what has been omitted, added and so forth.
One of the things it said was that windows 7 no longer has the option to
change the start menu to classic start menu. Does this cause any problems
with jaws?
Also, does anyone who has had experience trying out windows 7 have some sort
of list or manual I can check out about what the recommended settings and
changes are that I should make to the OS, in order for it to run smoothly
with jaws?
Using jaws 10.

The 160 means you have 160 giga of hard drive space. It has nothing to do

Do you use firefox? There is an option under options in advanced options

'search for text when I start typing'. It may have to with   that when you

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and net books

[ChB]

In nhave a lenovo netbook to take on tripsand stuff.
I like them a lot. The keyboard takes some getting used to since it is
smaller than a regular notebook's. but I have stuck some dots on significant
keys so I can navigate better.
You can run any jaws on it, I am currently running jaws 9 on mine and it
works perfect.
You could also hook up a portable braille display. I do that to mine a lot
and this also works no problem.
Netbooks usually come with either a linux version or windows xp.
I prefer xp becchaue I never used linux and am really not crazy about this
os. But that is all a matter of personal choice, like much everything else.

If you get a netbook that has a decent processor and 1 gig of ram which is
what most come with then there should be no issues. It will be as powerful
as a notebook with the same specs.

Betreff: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and net books

Hi folks,
 
I am considering dumping my old iron horse Dell laptop and
antique Packmate for a net-book.
I can install either Jaws 9 or 10 latest. The unit would be
used primarily for business including a fair amount of
wireless connectivity.
Software would be pretty much limited to MS-word, Outlook,
PowerPoint and Excel.
 
First of all how feasible is a net-book for a blind user?
Does it play well with jaws?
What software compatibility issues can I expect?
What are the features and benefits?
 
TNX

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and net books

[ChB]

The speakers are not state of the art of course. So I would recommend
listening to music you might want to put on your netbook over earphones or
something. But it is ok for jaws and audiobooks and so forth.
My netbook has two usb outputs but you can get small usb hubs, which is what
I use sometimes when I need to hook up more stuff. For on the go, the two
usb ports are, for me usually, enough.

Hi larry,
no it does not. I don't think they usually come with one, because that would
require more more and hence make it not as compact. I have a usb external cd
rom drive, which was like 15 bucks or something which I use when I need to
install the os again or anything that requires a cd. Normally I use usb
sticks to copy files and such.

I just realized I goofed when I said any jaws will work.
Of course it would have to be a jaws version that can handle xp (or linux if
one gets this os).
Sorry did not want to confuse anyone. I did run jaws 7.10 on the netbook
when I first got it, before I upgraded to 9 finally and 7.10 worked well
too.

Hi list,
I did a system restore on my Desktop. Afterwards, I found that Jaws 10 had
stopped loading automatically at start up.
I found the Jaws 10 icon on my desktop and pressed enter. I then went
into options and then basics. I checked the run Jaws automatically check
box. However, when I reboot my computer, I find Jaws 9 came up. Am I
following the correct steps to get Jaws 10 to start automatically?
P.S Jaws 10 was starting automatically before the system restore.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Make jaws stop saying everything?

[ChB]

You have to change the verbosity settings. You can do this by pressing jaws
key+V. to change verbosity settings overall and save all changes
permanantely you need to go into configuration manager. In the jaws options
menu go to help programms and arrow down to configurations manager. There
you can set your individual options. There are also set profiles for
beginner, advance and expert verbosity settings.

Depending on what you mean, you could change the tutor messages from
within the basic settings in the jaws contextual menu, alternatively, if
your jaws is perhaps set to speak all text, you could change that to
highlighted with the long insert key [jaws key] pressed together with
the letter s.


Highlighted is the default.

I tried to post to a messageboard. I would manage to get into the
messagefield and no further. Jaws will say forms mode on where I would then
normally be able to fill out and write but somehow it does not work. Just
will not type no matter what I do. Guess it has to do with the messageboard

[JAWS-Users] yahoo messenger jaws reading commands

[ChB]

Hi listers,
my buddy can only have chats using this chat otion straight from her yahoo
classic mail account. So I downloaded yahoo messenger and also made sure I
installed version 7.0 which is supposed to work with my jaws 7.10. so far so
good.
When I now hear the pling sound that someone wrote and focus on the window
it does not auto speak the last message. I did figure out that I can press
f2 to get the very last message read. But is there a way that I can also
keep reading older previous messages in that window?
I know that in windows live all I have to do is hit alt+ 1, 2, and so on to
get to the older messages but is there a command like this for yahoo as
well? Also is there a tutorial for all the key commads available that will
work with yahoo?
Again my jaws that I am using is 7.10, with windows xp. Yahoo version is
7.0.
Thanks in advance

was able to post a test message from my account with no problems, so it is
definitely something to do with that it may be inaccessible to users with

Funny thing is this is simliar to windows live, which is what I tried first
to apply to yahoo messenger. Somehow it would not work, for example to get
into the message window to see her last message I used F2 instead.
I guess I have to sit down and learn this thing some more. Right now my jaws
has a life of its own anyways. He just started reading me, automatically,
the time every minute now. Nice thing but not needed. Lol

To find out what version of IE you are using:
Open internet explorer, hit alt to get to the menu, arrow

There you should hear what your currently installed version

There are some terms being interchanged here, that shouldn't

1. Windows, refers to the operating system installed on your

There are many different versions of Windows, such as XP and
Vista.
And to further complicate things the version of Windows

2. Internet Explorer, commonly referred to as I E,is an
internet browser, 
used for accessing the internet.
There are several versions of I E, such as versions 6, 7 and
8.
Version 8, is the latest version.
3. Outlook Express, commonly referred to as O E, is an
e-mail client, used 
for sending and receiving e-mail messages.
As Flor stated earlier, there is no version higher than 6,
because Microsoft
