Eric, I hope you follow this thread. For reasons that will be clearer below, I encountered the same issue while trying to renew my prescriptions at Express-Scripts.com. I added the RX's to my cart, but then I couldn't get Jaws to check out. There was an item that said "four items", but no matter whether I hit enter on it, tried left-clicking it with the Jaws cursor, used Convenient OCR, etc. I could not get it to activate. Jaws recognized it as a Span Element, whatever that is. I didn't want to send the screen to Tech Support because it would obviously reveal medical information. But, if that is necessary to resolve this issue, I can probably set up a reminder in my calendar and do that in mid-February when I can add thing to the cart again. I was able to use System Access which recognized the "four items" as a link. Unfortunately, once I did that, I couldn't duplicate the issue because I had no more prescriptions to fill. Therefore, I cannot reproduce this issue at this time, but Express Scripts is a large mail-order pharmacy that I'm sure fills a lot of prescriptions for others.

First thing I'd do is go run the housecall free online virus scan from www.trendmicro.com, always good to have a second opinion. Next thing I'd do is find out where the machine blows air out, and sucks it in; with it turned off block the fan with a paperclip so you can't spin it too fast and blow in through the output ports with a can of air, it could be full of junk and overheating.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox freezing with Jaws 14
First of all, no need to reboot your computer when firefox crashes. Hit ctrl-alt-escape, find the firefox in applications, hit the applications/context key on it and choose end task. Second of all, having used both firefox and ie9, I'd say that ie9 gives more information on webpages where there is any difference at all. I have yet to find one that is more accessible with firefox. If you are having a lot of crashes with firefox as your default browser, caused by clicking on links, you might want to change to ie as the default. You can download ff17.x off of mozilla's ftp site, you have to dig for it though. If it weren't for a couple of plugins that allow me to block ads and control what javascript I wish to allow, along with how it deals with rss, I'd use internet explorer instead of firefox. I've used firefox for many years, so I don't say that lightly. I have yet to try the release version of ff19, but the beta crashed just like ff18 did. On 2/21/2013 05:49, Sharon Gosling wrote: I guess this sounds like I just have to put up with the IE 9 as a default since most of the freezes occur when clicking links in email. One I especially remember is a Kim Komando page that led to another page and then the youtube link yesterday. There were others I remember from Lookout Mobile Security. Can't remember them all. The most aggravating part is to have to restart the computer to shut down Firefox. The computer doesn't freeze, just Firefox. I could still use more advice if anyone has any ideas. I know there are many avid Firefox users on this list. I presume that to roll back to Firefox 17 I would have to remove FF 19. But where would I get 17. And is 17 the best version for Jaws users? In old emails I had read about really low versions but it seems like they would have many security holes as newer versions of browsers generally have better security. Using a different link for youtube would not help me since I never go to youtube and search for videos. I click links from friends that take me to interesting youtube videos. If I keep IE 9 as the default I may never realize how much more accessible the page might be on Firefox. Now, I only try Firefox when I know there are form fields or other information I know should be there. I imagine there is a great deal more information that I don't even realize I am missing using IE 9. If others experience similar problems then perhaps I should contact Jaws or Firefox about it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] iTunes problems
It may be much simpler than that. Itunes is and has always been a pig, year 2002 hardware isn't likely to do it justice.

I wander if we should invalve either NVIDIA or better yet perhaps EVGA in this. Very interesting. I can't even tell you if it's an old graffics card issue since I don't keep up too much with NVIDIA moddles. I could perhaps ask Ryan Shrout from PC Perspective about it. Let's see what he says. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Shane Hecker Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2013 4:23 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] iTunes problems I have not told Apple about it.

That happened to me with an old computer but only when playing a DVD. I assume it's not a DVD we're talking about here? I was horsing around and trying out the Plextalk PTR2 as a DVD player when I ran into that since the PC's DVD player didn't work. It did something symalar and the PTR2 got hot, and locked up. I guess it was due to a slow transfer rate. So, what media are we talking about here? Could there be some lag in the moving of data someware perhaps? -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Shane Hecker Sent: Friday, February 15, 2013 8:49 PM To: jaws-users Subject: [JAWS-Users] iTunes problems I've got 2 systems, one running Windows 7, the other running Windows Xp Sp3. Both have iTunes on them. The windows 7 system works fine, the xp system does not. The xp system will start to play a tv show, then stop, then stutter, then start playing again. It does this at random. I've downloaded the latest sound, video, and chipset drivers. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and everything related to it. I've tried running iTunes in safe mode. I have tried setting Quicktime to play using wav out and gdi safe mode for the video out, but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and here's what it might sound like if I'm playing a video on Windows xp. Hello, are WeWeWeWeWeWeWeWeWeWeWe having fun YetYetYetYetYet?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unable to copy cd content
Bad burn or a bad drive on your laptop. I'd try burning at a slower speed and see if the laptop will read that. If you just need to move files, their may be simpler ways to do it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] clearification behind external headset question
You just have to go into the utility menu and ecamine your sound card choices. Just because something says headphone it doesn't have to be the one you want. Read all the choices with your usb headset attached and not attached, same goes with your external sound card.
