What this means to you folks is that things might be a little out of sorts for a short time as our internet protocol or I. P. address is going to change. It is very likely that services will be disrupted while things propagate with all of the various servers around the world. What that means is with the new address all of the servers need to be made aware of the new address and until that happens things will not be as smooth until all of that activity is resolved. The web site and the mailing list will both most likely be effected. Not to worry as all will return to what passes for normal around here in short order.

To download the latest release, visit the Downloads web page. JAWS •Added an "Explore Utilities Folder" item to the Utilities menu located in the JAWS window. In Windows 10, this enables you to quickly open the folder where you can explore various JAWS settings folders, launch the Synthesizer and Braille Manager to add or remove speech synthesizers or braille displays, remove product activation, and more. Previously, you would have to search for "utilities" in the Start menu to locate this folder. This menu item is also available in Windows 7. •In Windows 10, resolved an issue where JAWS would unexpectedly become unresponsive for several seconds when switching between apps. •Addressed a reported issue where text in the Virtual Viewer could not be copied with MAGic running. •Resolved a customer reported issue encountered on certain computers where the HJPad spell checker was not loading the dictionary. •In response to requests from customers who are creating domain specific scripts, added a new function, GetElementXML, which returns the XML for the element at the Virtual Cursor. •When using the Windows touch keyboard, resolved an issue encountered with some international versions of Windows where Touch Typing was not working as expected. With Touch Typing, a key is typed when the finger is lifted from any of the keyboard buttons. In addition, if a triple tap is performed on a keyboard button, the panel of alternative characters now opens as expected. Braille •In response to customer feedback, if you type "girlfriend", "boyfriend", "girlfriends", and "boyfriends" using contracted braille, these are now properly translated. •Resolved an issue where JAWS would sometimes not detect a Focus Blue braille display after bringing the computer out of hibernation. •Resolved a customer reported issue where the contents of the Windows Secure Desktop or the Windows Lock screen were not being shown in braille. •Resolved an issue where the Placement of Status Cells option in the Startup Wizard would become unavailable if it was changed to None. This option should only be unavailable if a braille display that does not offer status cells is connected. Microsoft Outlook •Addressed a reported issue where the checked or unchecked status of shared calendars was not being shown in braille. •When pressing INSERT+H from a message list, resolved an issue where Outlook specific hot keys were not being displayed.

I see no reason to doubt their objectivity. "Updating to Windows 10 - NO! At meeting of computer consultants on Oct 27 we discussed windows 10 updates. - Not clean installs but updates from 7 or 8.1 to 10. Every consultant recommended waiting. Despite that, many had tested the update on their own non-crucial systems. Also, some clients had updated accidentally or against advice or demanded the consultants update them. The consultants had experience with 33 update attempts. 11 failed. Most failures could be reversed and returned to their previous condition, but some lost their computers completely. This isn't a large sample, and computer consultants might not have heard from clients who updated successfully, so my guess is that much less than 33% fail. Probably more like 10% or 15% and of those probably 80% can return to their old operating system and continue to run fine, but it still seems crazy to do this with an important machine. Furthermore, possible that if you aren't getting the latest versions of all your software, you could have some incompatibility there. Tech support centers say that the problems caused by the Windows 10 update are double that of most other Windows operating system upgrades. This is probably not because the upgrade process is worse, but because people are being forced to do it. Wait a few more months before you succumb to the Borg."

You may remember that, last week, I posted a quiry to the list regarding an increasingly sluggish Windows 7 desktop computer with Jaws, to the point that it became unusable. I originally thought the problem related to some sort of a virus I had gotten, since it seemed that something in internet explorer was constantly running. I think that might have been part of the problem, but after taking the computer to a local computer repair shop, it seems that the biggest problem is with Outlook 2010. I am not sure how he found this out, but the computer repair person indicated that my Outlook data file is unbelievably huge! It contains something like 10 gigs of material, and is constantly running, and trying to refresh itself. I access both my work and personal g-mail accounts via Outlook 2010, and am very good at deleting e-mails that are no longer of use to me. I also periodically check my all mail folder in my personal g-mail account to be sure that deleted e-mails are not showing up in there. I guess my question is this: Should I totally un-install Outlook 2010, and re-install it again? Or, is there some way I can correct this issue with my currrent version of Outlook 2010? My University currently uses Office 365, which I know contains a version of Outlook, so I'm wondering if that might be another way to go. The computer tech at my local computer repair shop advises me to forget outlook, and just access my personal g-mail via the g-mail web site, but I have not had the greatest luck navigating that web site with Jaws 14. I'm not sure if such an approach would work with my work e-mail account either. Any wisdom that can be shed on this issue would be appreciated. Thank you.

What you need to do is have someone change everything over to classic view. This will make everything look and behave just like xp. I did this when I was using vista and use windows 7 now and my cousin did that for me. It works great. You don't even know it's windows 7. Give it a try and let me know how it goes. As a word of caution, if you are using an earlier version of JAWS, you may find that it is not fully compatible. I han into this issue when I got windows 7 last year. I was using a version of JAWS 11 that was not fully supported, so I was getting some error messages, but JAWS still worked. My cousin just called Freedom Scenentific and they let him download a newer update that fixed the problem. So like I said, use windows 7 in classic view.

So, I've been reading through the help information in JAWS about running JAWS with Citrix. I get the basic idea. My question is, A: Assuming I have multiple keys available for my current version of JAWS, do I install JAWS as me on the Citrix server? IE, using my authorization? Or do I need to purchase a completely new copy of JAWS to run on the server? 2: Do I need to purchase the remote access license for just quote my copy of JAWS quote, IE, I purchase one remote access license and it is good for both the server and client? Or do I need to purchase the license for the client and server separately? Thanks. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Senior Oracle Database Administrator Carnegie Mellon University.

[JAWS-Users] RPGLE With JAWS
Is there anyone working with RPGLE when using JAWS. If Yes, here is my question. When in PDM how do you access F13 (Function Key 13). I am running JAWS 13 and connecting to work by CITRIX and JAWS 13 is also Installed on work Server. Do I have to define a new Key Combination to represent F13.? Thanks for any help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] RPGLE With JAWS
The Shift + F1 sends me into a Windows Search. The Shift + (F1 - F12) should make the application treat it like F13 - F24. I remember the 3270 days just like it was yesterday.

[JAWS-Users] Punctuation
I am running JAWS 13 and somehow a setting was changed. When I read the Time or Date the punctuation is spoken. It says Colon in Time and Comma in Date. What do I need to change? John For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
