[JAWS-Users] 360 Total Security and how to get rid of it?
Hi, Please, please, tell me there's a way that my husband and i can get rid of this on our own as totally blind people? We have the latest version of JAWS and are using Windows 10. When my husband got an i Cloud update this program got on our computer and it now is preventing us from updating to the latest TWBlue or using it at all. It's also slowing the computer down somewhat too. We have and use Viper and are amazed it allowed this on here. The program is not accessible with either JAWS or NVDA and we've tried to remove it the normal way to remove a program with no success. If anyone can help or knows anything about this, please email me either privately or on list? Thanks. -- Lisa E-Mail: lisapgeibel...@gmail.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/ldporter1 Twitter: http://twitter.com/LisaLisa429 Philmore box shared with hubby: 773-572-7897 God bless everyone!!!

[JAWS-Users] Help, please?
Hi, I'm dealing with this annoying issue in my emails. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium, JAWS 15 and Thunderbird 24.2.0. When reading emails, I hear this XWestern thing before any text of the email, on blank lines and such. When trying to demonstrate this problem to others by forwarding a message to them, they do not hear this. I've had my settings to read in HTML and Plain Text with the same results. It does not do this if reading messages with NVDA. Can anyone help please? It also did this with JAWS 14. Do I need to back Thunderbird back to a previous version, change a setting or am I just stuck with this? Thank you.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws saying wrong things at times
Hi, I have a different question about JAWS saying wrong things or not saying things. I'm running Windows 8 and JAWS 14 as I haven't installed the update yet. Sometimes I've noticed if I'm reading something and try to use ctrl left or right arrow instead of hearing the word, I hear >. In some messages I was sending today I would sign Lisa as I will here or things I'd put in the message it wouldn't read it till I hit left arrow and then it was there, but if I did the command up arrow-JAWS it would not read that it was there. My mail program is the latest beta for Thunderbird and I keep saying I'm going to downgrade it, but I might not have to. Have any of you seen this behavior or do you know of a fix? Thanks and sorry for the long post. Lisa On 10/29/2013 12:15 PM, maryjane griffith wrote: Hello I have windows 8 and Microsoft office 2010 the problem I am having is.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problems With Rakuten.com Site
Hmm, Just tried this with IE 8 and JAWS 10 and was able to add the product to the cart. I moved the virtual cursor over the word product in the button and used the left mouse click option to do a single click. Once I did this, the add to cart link showed up as visited, and I got a message from the web page saying the product was successfully added to my cart. You might try the above method and then refreshing the page with insert escape and see if this makes a difference, because sometimes links are activated but the info doesn't show up until you refresh the JAWS buffer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] focusing on buttons
Oh, I feel better, I thought it was just me and my antiquated JAWS 10 using IE 8. This is particularly bad on the schwans.com site, and sometimes even bringing up a list of links and pressing enter to activate the link that way doesn't solve the issue. If I try moving to the link instead, the cursor is actually one or two lines above the link, which explains why I was always going to other parts of the site totally unrelated to what I was clicking on. I usually refresh the screen and then move the virtual cursor right to the place where the link starts and then either left click or press enter. it's still hit and miss, though. Honestly, the only way to avoid this is to use another screen reader which won't be mentioned.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon funkiness.
Another solution is to have the site mail you your password, assuming you have the same Email address you had when the account was originally set up.

Several strategies for dealing with passwords are: Use the same password everywhere but add the name of the site to the end of the password. Use a password vault. That way you only have to remember one password, then you can grab the password out of the vault, and you don't have to remember each individual password, or username for that fact. And, you can make the passwords extremely complex since you don't have to remember them. You could do the whole spreadsheet thing. Also, one thing I did years ago, when I got frustrated because any username I came up with was never accepted on every web site, there are only so many combinations of Dan rossi DRossi DRossiBirthDay blah blah blah. I just recreated all my accounts with a nonsense word that no one else would ever use. Now I have the same username on every account. Which is helpful.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Amazon funkiness.
Hi, Dan. This has been going on quite a while, at least it has for me, but I'm using an older version of JAWS, still with IE 8 and XP, though. If you click the my account link, you're taken to a page containing a list of links that lists all of the info you can see pertaining to your account. You can choose from Orders, Address and payment, etc. Once you click on one of these options, a new page loads with the fields for user name and password. So for example, when I click the my account link, I wait for that page to load and choose the Orders link. When the page loads, I move to the bottom of the page with control plus the end key and press shift plus B and land on the Continue button. Shift tabbing from here will take you to the password and user name fields respectively. Hope this helps. It's an extra step that's completely unnecessary, IMO, but you can get around it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows 8 / JAWS 14 Installation Problem
Hi Tim, I did not have the same experience as you, but once JAWS was installed, the authorization box popped up so I went through the steps to authorize it, restarted JAWS as it said and then the authorization box came up again after telling me the authorization was successful. I called FS as didn't have any more authorizations left. For some reason I'm only getting 1 at a time which makes it difficult if something comes up on the weekend and I have none. Good thing have NVDA as a backup I guess. LOL Anyway, FS had never heard of this and she said she would bring it to the attention of those that needed to know as it could be a bug with JAWS 14. Has this happened to any of you? Also, MS Word told me yesterday I had to register it again so hope that doesn't stick. Have today left and my time will be up, it said.

I downloaded JAWS 14 64 bit using another machine and installed it on my Windows 8 machine. It said there was a problem with the internet connection and some components were not installed. I have removed and reinstalled JAWS several times with the same error. The internet connection is fine. When I try to update authorization it says there is a problem with the internet connection. If I do a check for updates on the help menu it says there is a problem with the internet connection. The internet connection is working with no problems. Only JAWS can't find it. I don't think it's trying to use the connection because it comes back instantly and says there is a problem with the connection. I have successfully installed JAWS 14 on a Windows 7 laptop using the USB modem and the Verizon software. (VZAccess Manager.) Not sure what to check or why JAWS doesn't recognize the connection.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows 8 & JAWS questions
Hi David, I'm using Win8 now and know what you mean about it's similarity to 7. I just have one question and maybe I'm missing something, so please correct me where needed? I've heard this stuff about not having a start menu. What do you mean by that because when I press my Windows key I get a start up list just like with the 7. Oh, it's not exactly the same, but it mostly is and although it doesn't say edit search or whatever it did in 7, if I just start typing what I want as soon as I press the Windows key, it turns search on. I'm going to try Outlook as I really don't like TB much because of issues. Really wanted to use Windows Mail, but not since it won't echo anything when am typing in a new message with JAWS or NVDA, I won't be using it and hope that gets corrected with an update.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS & sending emails
Hi all, I'm using JAWS 13 as don't usually run beta programs. I'm using it on a Windows 7 Dell laptop and my mail client is Thunderbird, the latest version. Whenever I try to send a message to certain people in my address book JAWS will put a ( before the address and a ) after it thus causing the message not to be sent. If I clear the address from my book I can then create a brand new message manually typing it in and it goes just fine. Thank God I also have NVDA on my system to do little tests like this and I hadn't even planned to test it, but I ended up in here with NVDA and was able to create a message with one of the addresses JAWS gives me problems on. The message was sent successfully. Any ideas on what's up here and any possible fixes? Please? Thanks.

it doesn't. You don't see any of the recommendations based on your shopping preferences, product reviews, list mainia stuff or what other people searched for and eventually bought. Plus you can't download MP3 music from the access site. if I'm in a hurry and know I'll be distracted, I'll use the access site for a quick search and price check.

Re: [JAWS-Users] is there a way to open a link in a new window
Well, I use IE 8, and honestly, i can't tell the difference between a new tab and a new window if all I want is a link to be opened in a separate window from the page I'm currently on. The functionality is the same either way. Control+W will close the window regardless, or if you have multiple tabs open and forget and do an Alt+F4, IE will prompt you about closing all tabs or the current tab.

I am able to get history information quite well. Although identified as buttons, the choices like home, update, history, and others are really treated as page tabs. The graphics are near the top of the window just under the status that says your computer is protected. You can use CTRL+Tab key to switch pages and eventually get to history. You can also use tab key until you find any of the following controls and then use right arrow key to find history: Home, update, settings, help, and additional help. Of course, if you use tab key and find the history choice then using right arrow is unnecessary. After labeling, the history choice will be identified by JAWS as "history", but if you route JAWS to PC and read the current button, JAWS says "Summarize view of the items detected in previous scans and the actions that were taken." If you tab from the history button, you will find a group of radio buttons. Use up and down arrow keys, but if you choose "all detected items" then tab to the list view of those items. Use down or up arrow key in the list to review items found that the program considered malicious. With focus on an item in the list, use tab key to move to a read-only box that gives information about the item. In that box, such things as category, description and recommended action are given for your review. Continue to use down arrow in the read-only box to find a list of files associated with the item selected in the list. Move back to the list and choose another item. Each time an item is selected in the list, you can tab to the read-only box that contains information about the given item. If you tab past the read-only box, you will find a button for deleting the history. If you tab back to the group of radio buttons where you chose to view all detected items, use down arrow key and you will find quaranteened items. Use tab from that selection to find a list of items that the program moved to quaranteen. Use tab to move to the read-only box for information about the item you select in the list. use tab to move to the "Remove all" button. Use tab key to move back to the group of radio buttons and use down arrow to find allowed items. If you have allowed any then tab to the list of items you allowed. If you move back to the radio buttons group and use down arrow from the choice for viewing allowed items, the next three times you use down arrow you will basically get a description of what each of the first three items did.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MSE history
Hi. I'm using JAWS 10, so the following may not work exactly depending on the JAWS version. You may not see anything because MSE doesn't show anything in the history unless MSE detects something. I tab to history, press enter and then tab again. JAWS says "View the list of following items that Security essentials detected as potentially harmful." My version of JAWS doesn't show this, but there's a list of check boxes for buttons. The choices are: All detected items, Quarantined items, and allowed items. Use the down arrow to read and select the option; it's checked automatically as soon as it's arrowed to. this is when I route JAWS to PC. There's a table listing the item, the recommended action and the alert level. The list you get would depend on which option you check and what, if anything MSE found. It's been a while since I've had any items listed, but I believe you route JAWS to PC and then left click on the item. Either that or you click on the detected item column in the table I mentioned above.

Re: [JAWS-Users] update on trying to install and run mse on windows xphome with sp 3 and jaws 7.
Mich, I get that sometimes even with JAWS 10. It won't read the system tray icons accurately when I use the insert f11 key, I have no clue why not. You can always minimize every thing then tab to the system tray from the desktop. Once on the desktop, I tab once to start button, twice to land on the taskbar, and the third time is the system tray. You'll hear whatever icon is currently active. When I tried it just now, the icon telling me I had new Email was there because I'd just gotten new Email. Use the down arrow key to move through the system tray choices, then press enter when you hear computer at risk. This should land you in the MSE main window. If this doesn't work, you could always just unload and then restart JAWS or reboot the PC. This has helped with the issue of JAWS not reading system tray icons properly. Otherwise, I'm stumped and someone else with more knowledge will have to give it a shot. This does sound like more of a screen reader issue, though.

I am not hearing anything when I click on the program. also when I go to the system tray it says computer at risk. but this icon only shows up for a minute and then when you go back to the system tray it is gone. I tried even going so far as to download a copy demo of jaws 11 to see if another blind friend of mine could use the tandum feature to see what was going on. also when I did click on the icon that says computer at risk it brings me in to the context menu of active sink witch it shouldn't do and I get choices like tyal windows vertically etc. I have even tried clicking on Microsoft security esentchels in the programs menu and nothing happens it just says enter and start button. so in short this is really weird and quite frustrating. I am running windows xp home sp 3 and jaws 7.0. I hope that this info helps out to see where or what options I have left to solve this. from Mich. - Original Message - From: "Lisa belville" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2011 5:43 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] help with getting mse to work.

Re: [JAWS-Users] help with getting mse to work.
Mich, Someone posted a link to this application on this list back in August because so many of us were having issues uninstalling AVAST. I tried this program and it worked beautifully. I removed AVAST and installed MSE within minutes. The program's interface is like a web page, and the instructions are very straight forward. Plus it's shareware, or was when I used it in mid August, 2010. The link to download it is http://appremover.com/. I'm currently running MSE, but my brain is blanking on the URL to download it. You might try going through Windows Update. Lisa IF THE HOUSEWORK IS DONE - THEN THE COMPUTER IS Broken!

Re: [JAWS-Users] internet address bar??
Yes. Alt+D to move to the address bar, Control+A to select it, Control+C to copy it to the clipboard. Now press F6 to move focus back to the web page, you'll need to press it twice at least depending on how you have IE set up. Once the address bar is copied to the clipboard, you can paste it into wherever you need it, Email message, document, etc. Lisa The early bird can have the worm and the second mouse can have the cheese.

Hi. you shouldn't need flash just to download or upload stuff to sendspace.

Re: [JAWS-Users] My serial number for activating
Hi. if you've done a fresh install, it's actually asking for the authorization code. This is a long series of numbers and not the serial number. It should be on the CD you got with the original purchase of JAWS. Or, if you were using JAWS back in the day, the first version to have this code was I think 6.0. I had to do this last year and I had the same issue until I found the 6.0 CD. The auth code is written in Braille and presumably large print on the inside of the CD holder. I don't remember if I used the CD or if I just typed in the numbers, but that was the code I needed to make the software stop acting like a demo. HTH Lisa I HAD A THOUGHT! No. Wait. False alarm.

Re: [JAWS-Users] www.guidedog.org
Hi, Beverly. I'm using JAWS 10 with Windows XP Home and IE 8. I'm having the same issue. I needed to turn off forms mode and review the page with the JAWS cursor. The choices corresponding to each check box are as follows: 1. Print; 2. Large Print; 3. Braille; 4. E-mail; 5. CD ROM. There are three groupings of check boxes with each of these choices because they're wanting your first, second, and then last resort choice. However, I cannot interact with these checkboxes while out of forms mode. I can go back into forms mode and find this part of the form and check the corresponding box as long as I know which choice I want. It would be nice to give their web master a technical reason this isn't working with JAWS. I noticed that JAWS refers to all forms as mouse over links, regardless of the type of form, i.e. edit or check box. I'm a GDF grad, so I'd be happy to pass the info along as soon as I can give a specific reason for the inaccessible forms. Lisa I HAD A THOUGHT! No. Wait. False alarm.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Desperate for Yahoogroups tutorial
Alan, I moderate a list that was moved from a private server using the Mailman software to yahoogroups. Yes, Yahoo's group pages are not the most user friendly, but it's more due to the layout of the pages rather than accessibility. Yahoo is all web based, so it's a matter of knowing your browser and your screen reader of choice, as well as a bit of memorization when it comes to negotiating some of the pages specific to mods. They just added an audio code that allows anyone with the proper mod privileges to add members without going through the captcha or invite process, so that part is at least accessible. What version of JAWS and what browser are you using? I might be able to help if you have specific questions. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

Yes, it is set up , pesky captures and such, but it was with a great amount of assistance from others, and I need to learn how to manage it myself, and also the people I have assigned as "moderators" need to learn all about the different functions. Yahoogroups is not what I would call a JAWS friendly program. And I would compare it to learning Microsoft Word or Excel! Word and Excel are easier in my opinion! At least they have command keys, and menu bars! Can anyone please help me find a "Tutorial" for learning how to manage a yahoogroups list? We would even be willing to pay for it. Can anyone also give me Kathy, oh I forgot her last name, the lady that does the "Special Access" training, and produces "tutorials email address so I can find out if she can assist us? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Combo boxes
this sounds weird, but have you tried not using the virtual cursor and just using the JAWS cursor? Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding some web sites that don't show me things like the contents of a shopping cart unless I disable the virtual cursor an use the tab and the JAWS cursor. It's like being back in the mid nineties again, but it gets the job done. Constipated accountants work it out with a pencil.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Saving settings in IE8 for individual websites
Isn't that only for a temporary change? I seem to remember trying and giving up because settings would revert to their former position once I alt tabbed away from the site.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Saving settings in IE8 for individual websites
Actually, the JAWS help does a good job at this. While in the dialog for personalizing web sites, you can tab back and forth from the tree view to a read only field that describes the function of each item and what the various options do. This isn't like the Windows Help system, so no F6 is necessary, just tab and shift tab should get you what you want. Constipated accountants work it out with a pencil.
