Re: [JAWS-Users] My comments on Vipre.
Hi Ron May I ask where you picked up this deal up at? Sounds like something I would be interested in. Thanks. Mike Sent from my iPhone On Nov 26, 2015, at 5:51 AM, Ron Kolesar wrote: Hi to all. Or should I say good morning. I ust couldn't sleep, so while trying to find time to get everything set up for the new pc, I thought that I'd also try to keep up with all of my mail as well. SMILES. I think Ihave about fifteenmailboxes now. SMILES. I just recently pick up a HPNT win10 pc. It has a a 10 processor. But we were told that the A 10 processer is equal to a intel 7 processor. So it has some kick up and go der the hud. SMILES. It has a two trick hd in it. I would looking for a little larger hd. Maybe around a three or a five trig hd. But my dad spotted this awsome deal and he was the one that picked it up for me. My brother was with him and he got himself a new win 10 laptop. I don't know what all the stats are on the laptop. I have ten USB ports and I have twelve gigs of memory. My dad told me that he can uninstall my older vid card from my older unit. Because I use Microsoft flight simulator and you need a high end vid card to use that simulator. But I will see if the vid card that came with the unit will give me any problems first. One thing I have to tell everyone about. The USB wireless keyboard that comes with the unit. Sell it to the first sucker that comes across your path. SMILES. Even the It guy who came and inported my older mailboxes and mail for me couldn't belive this stupid keyboard. For example. The insert key was on the top roll and you had to count seven over from right to left tofind it. There was now spacing like there normally is in a computer or even from those olden days of large print a typewriter keyboard has keys spaces apart and grouped together. Please for give me for the A915Felling errors. I do have two major medical issues, and it is now starting to effect my hands and fingers while I trying to type. The i.d.number once again is 722401 and it was the computer itself ws on sell for $599. So a awsome deal. Pluse, I got a nice email letter from the saleman and also a second letter from the team for with the extra $120 or in that neighborhood on the extra insurance. So, that is what is up from here. I almost forgot. The I.T tech who did my mail for me is a new employee at our local sight center and he keeps their pc's running for them and for others as well. HE only works on Thursdays, and since this thursday is thanks giving he worked yesterday and I got lucky to catch him at work. Plus he only lives down the street from us and said to call him for any problems. But he's running win 10 and he's only runnning defender that comes with win 10. HE's saying that he would pick up vipre or any other program and don't know what one would with defender running. So that was his two cents when I had asked him about it. Because the first to rules on computers is safety and to back up back up back up. SMILES. So that's my adventure since about the 18 or 19th of November.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Toshiba or hp laptop?
That sounds like a good plan Lenny. The larger HDD and higher amount of RAM will serve you well. hp is as good as a Machine as you will find. from my iPhone On Nov 23, 2015, at 11:03 AM, Lenny McHugh wrote: Mike, I do not remember the ram in the Toshiba but it has a 500 hd and the hp has 8 gb ram and a 1,000 hd. I am leaning towards the HP because at the end it will be the same price. If they do not have Bluetooth I think an adaptor is not too expensive. I would like the larger HD because I could slowly move all of my saved stuff on the old desktop to a storage area on the laptop. Maybe then just use the laptop as my main computer and recycle this boat anchor. If I get rid of the desktop, I have a copy of the oem windows setup disk. I would then be able to create a dos partition on Karen's macbook and install windows. She likes windows much better.

Hi Lenny, Toshiba and hp are both good machines. You should not have any trouble out of either one. If the laptop has blue tooth capabilities, then you should be able to connect from 3 to 5 devices to the computer at any one given time, maybe more. If something refuses to connect, then disconnect something that you are not using at that time and try again, the device should connect then. Either machine will work equally well with Jaws, I am curious what makes up the regular price difference. Does one laptop have more memory than the other, or maybe a larger hard drive? If so, go with the one with the largest amount of RAM. I find that I can get by with a fairly small hard drive, but having enough memory is crucial to having the computer operate well with jamming up and it can minimize crashes. Good luck with your new laptop, that is the type of deal that I have been looking for. I may have to check it out myself.

I know a couple smart people like Londa and Dave could help me with this small problem. So, I hope I haven’t lost all of that mail. Many Many Thanks. Also, one weird thing that I am still receiving even on the newer computer. When I go to type a address in the to field. Even those I only type in the address once, and it could be because some times I type in the address by the address and other times via the nickname for that pers. But, it doesn’t matter how I do the address in the to field, it still comes up two copies of the address. The first address is fine, but then without a space at the end of the first copy of the first address I get a greater than sign then the second copy of the address then a lesser than sign then a colon. Then I usually have to cut the entire line out of the to box and place it into the cc box or where ever. Go to the greater than sign and space it once so it isn’t near the original copy of the email address that I want and then deleete the greater than and crap out, and then cut the original copy of the email address that I want and place it back into the to field once again, then double check it to make sure there’s no colons or spaces at the end of the address. Then only then can I ship out the letter. Also, To the left of the body of the letter it states that I have a personal business card. I never put it into any of my out going mail. So how can I kill that as well? I thank anyone who can help me out in advance.

That sounds like a Lott of space. I am sure that it only takes around 256 MV of RAM to download and much less than 1 TB of hard drive space to store and run the program.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Cancilation of win 10
Oh, I see, well anyway, if the installation file did get downloaded to someones computer, and they then chose not to install the update, then they could simply delete the file from their computer and be done with it. Then they could pay for the software when they decided they did want it. lol.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Cancilation of win 10
The only thing that will happen as a result of your reservation, is that the installation file will be downloaded to your computer. yYou have complete control of when, where, and how you choose to install the OS or not. It will not automatically be installed onto your computer. If you should decide that you do not want Win 10 at all, then simply delete the installation file from your downloads folder.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Successful windows 10 upgrade
Mario, I don't see why you can't. You can still reserve today if you wanted to. That didn't end on July 29, that is just the day that the update became available for download. I didn't reserve my Gateway laptop until August 9, and then I turned right around the same day and used the Creation Tool to download the file and use it to install the update. I did all of that in about 3 hours time, and it worked perfectly. Go ahead and give it a try, I am almost certain that it will work for you..

Re: [JAWS-Users] Battery Status
It is good for the battery to unplug the computer every so often, and pretty much drain it, then plug it up and let the battery recharge.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Successful windows 10 upgrade
Kimsan, I did get speech on the screen where you select the typical or custom setup using narrator. It will start via the Windows + Enter shortcut. Remember here, you are not uninstalling your previous Windows to install 10, you are just updating, therfore much of your Windows functionality still remains during the update. You can choose the typical setup using Narrator, then let it finish the update, and the next thing you will get will either be the Windows log in screen or your desktop, depending on how your computer is configured.

Re: [JAWS-Users] WINDOWS 10, IS IT WORTH UPGRADING NOW?
No, I don't know that I would say exactly that Kevin, but during my first update to Windows 10, There was a point after JAWS told me that the update was downloading, that I could continue to use my computer, etc, then that it was preparing the update or whatever, then it stated that it was starting to install the update. At this point, JAWS was closed in order for the update to take place. But, I did not panic, I had already read that this would probably happen, so I just waited for some time. After about an hour, one of my family members happened to be passing by, so I asked her to tell me what was on the screen at that time, and she said that the computer wanted to know if I wanted to go with the typical set up or a custom set up. So, I thought OK, let me try to start JAWS again, which would not work, so then I tried the Windows Enter shortcut for Narrator, and sure enough, it opened up and read the screen to me, so I made my selection, and it announced something like "Installing files" or something similar, so I just sat back and waited. Microsoft had suggested that the computer should pretty much do everything itself, and that not much interaction should be required, so this is what I tried to let happen. After the computer stated that it was installing the required files, no more than 10 or 15 minutes later, JAWS again began to speak, and was asking me to log in. I input my password and pressed Enter, and a few seconds later, the computer announced again that JAWS for Windows was running. From this point, I used Windows + D to get to the desktop, and found that the only thing there was recycle bin, so I started wondering where all of my icons had gone, but after a few minutes of trying to figur it out, the desktop repopulated itself, and everything was there just as it was before the update. During the update to my second computer, after JAWS stopped speaking,I simply waited for around 15 minutes to let things happen, then I started Narrator on that computer, and things went much quicker. There never was the opportunity to customize your set up or make the selections that you get when doing a first time or clean install of Windows, everything pretty much reverted back to where it was before the update. I was asked to select a desktop background for some reason, and my sound scheme has changed, but I honestly like the scheme that it changed to better than what I was using before, which was Windows default.

John, Here's my take on your questions, after having updated 2 of my computers to Windows 10 in the past week. 1 of these computers was a Windows 7 machine, and the other was an 8.1 machine. 1.We know that Jaws doesn't work with the Edge browser or with the e-mail client at this time. 2.

Re: [JAWS-Users] WINDOWS 10, IS IT WORTH UPGRADING NOW?
Hi Kevin, No, I have not tried removing the Windows.old folder from my computer yet, if for some reason you wanted to revert back to your previous operating system, this folder is pertinent to doing so without having to do a complete reinstallation. I have deleted these folders in the past however, and have never had any problems in doing so. There should not be anything to prevent one from deleting all of the contents since they should not be linked to any currently installed programs, but you never know how Microsoft does some of these things that they do, making this transition to Windows 10 as easy as it has been, and through a fairly sinple update, could have included some different links between Windows 10 and either 7 or 8.1 which will not allow the complete deletion of these files as of yet. I am sure that after some time has past and updates have been made, that this would become possible to remove. Microsoft Accessibility might be able to give some good insight into why this is happening. You might want to call them on it. If you do, please let all of us know what was said.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Cortana was RE: WINDOWS 10, IS IT WORTH UPGRADING NOW?
Hi Londa, Actually no, I have not tried sending Emails with Cortana as of yet. I am glad to hear your experiences trying this however. I would have to assume that she is configured to work with the default mail client, And maybe Outlook as well. I suppose this is something that could be configured in the account setup process. I will have to check into this to see what is involved. Like you, I have multiple accounts, and am thinking that the default account may be the one that she is going to want to use. Interesting though. I will post anything that I find during the process so other listers may benefit from it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and email question
Hi Michael, I am running WLM 2012 and JAWS 16, and I get the same thing when selecting multiple messages. The name of the sender is called out, but not the subject.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Outlook Express and Outlook.
Windows Live Mail is free, and is part of a suite of programs called Windows Live Essentials, which includes Mail, Writer, One Drive,Photo Gallery, and Movie Maker. You can choose which of these you want to install, and to me, Mail is the only one that I would have. I haven't used Outlook Express, but I do know that Windows Live Mail, when developed, was taken straight from the Outlook Express program. In fact, when you open your Inbox in Windows Live Mail, JAWS reads "Outlook Express message list view". The web address for the download of Windows Live Essentials is: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/essentials The last version of this program is 2012, but it is still a very good suite of stuff.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Cortana
Cortana is a new part of Windows 10. She is a personal assistant like Siri on the iPhone. Pretty much works the same as well. You can ask her to open a web page for you, start a particular program, I believe she will write an email for you and such things as that. She is voice controlled.

Re: [JAWS-Users] successfully upgraded to windows 10
Hi Jim, What did you do when you had to select between a Typical setup and a Custom setup? I installed Windows 10 just as you did, but when the actual installation started, I lost JAWS for speech, and could not get Narator to start. Several hours past before I could complete the installation. I finally had someone with sight to read my screen for me, and it was obvious what I needed to do, and the remainder of the installation only took a few minutes from that point. Once it did finish, JAWS restarted and prompted for my sign in information. So far, I am liking Windows 10, but I did have that one little hiccup which required some sighted assistance to get through.

[JAWS-Users] Windows 10 can share WyFy password
I took this from another email that I read, and thought that it might interest this list with all of the Windows 10 talk lately: If you're taking up Microsoft on its offer of a free upgrade to Windows 10, you should know that the new operating system has a feature, called Wi-Fi Sense, that automatically shares your Wi-Fi passwords with others. When Wi-Fi Sense is enabled, anyone you have in your Skype, Outlook or Hotmail contacts lists — and any of your Facebook friends — can be granted access to your Wi-Fi network as long as they're within range. Microsoft added this feature to save users ' time and hassle, but as independent security blogger Brian Krebs put it, some security experts see it as "a disaster waiting to happen." MORE: Windows 10 vs. OS X El Capitan: Why Microsoft Wins Krebs and others worry about the potential for strangers or untrustworthy friends being given access to users' home Wi-Fi networks. Microsoft has tried to reassure them by pointing out that you have to agree to enable Wi-Fi Sense every time you join a new network, that those people to whom you grant network access can't pass along that. In my mind, this is just like the Pwersonal Hotspot feature on the iPhone. It does the same thing, making your WyFy available to people who you share it with when they are in your area. I do not use this on my phone, and I will make sure that it is disabled on my computer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Want to cancel Windows 10 reservation
Here's some information for everyone who has not reserved their copy of Windows 10, or who think that they want to cancel their reservation. I thought that I was all set to get Windows 10, having reserved it when the icon first starting popping up. Then today, I noticed that upon opening Windows Update, I had 2 important updates ready for installation. Upon checking to see what these were, I made note of the numbers of each. Then I installed them, or so I thought. After the first install attempt, I then clicked on Check For Updates again, and the same 2 updates appeared again. I went through this process about 3 times, then called Microsoft Accessibility. The technician, Barry, told me that there was an error code there that JAWS was apparently not reading to me. He checked the code out, and there happened to be a Fix-it for this particular one. He ran the Fix-it, and it did indeed repair Windows Update for me. After again checking for updates, I again received these same 2, plus 2 more which I had not seen before. They all 4 installed successfully, and did not reappear again. However, after once again checking for updates, I received a list of 141 important updates that needed to be installed. This took about 4 hours to complete. Barry called me throughout the afternoon to see where the progress was, and upon completion, we again checked again for updates, but none were found. One of the 141 updates was the Get Windows 10 update, and I was able to reregister to receive the update for free, and I did receive an email notification that I had sucessfully registered for the update. The email told me that when my update was ready, I would receive a notification in my system tray that it was now available for installation, and it would prompt me to do so. This morning, someone had stated that if you had not registered for the free update, that it is to late, but that is not true, because I did it today, and the process worked well. Also, anyone worried that they might get the update without knowing it through Windows Update, that is not going to happen. You will first see the notification in your system tray telling you that it is available first. I hope this helps some of you to better understand the process.

Re: [JAWS-Users] need help!!! not able to get windows 10
According to Microsoft Accessibility support, it is not your option to update when you want to, it will be available to you when it is time for you to upgrade. There are so many people trying to upgrade right now, that the servers are pretty well jammed packed with the requests. It depends on when you res erved your copy, and which categotry you might happen to fall in as to when you will receive your notification. There is also a factor of luck in this as well. The systen picks some names at random and throws them in the mix too. The first group who were specifically targeted to get the update, are the people who took part in the Beta testing of the product, but I was not told who would be next, I suppose it might be those of us who reserved their copies. Also, the time frame for reserving a copy is not yet over. It is not clear when it will end, but it will extend into the next year for at least a while, and the free installations will cease on July 29, 2016. So, don't rack your brains out worrying about getting the thing until it becomes your turn, or until someone notifies you that your copy is ready to be installed. The purpose of entering your email address during the reservation process was to be notified when the update was available for installation by you. I was told that the bulk of the process should be over within the time frame of a couple of weeks, so I suppose it could take that long for some to get their copies installed.

In fact, it will take several days for all to get a chance to update to it if wanted right now. Also, in yesterday's issue of the Flying Blind email, there was a good article on "How to Install Windows 10", and it covered doing it from Windows 8.1 and Windows 7, the two processes are quite different. From other material that I read from Freedom Scientific, it seems that but for the Edge browser and the Mail app in Windows 10, Jaws and the new operating system should get along very well at this time.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 2010 or Office 365 with Jaws
Hi Chris, Both versions of Office work well with JAWS. In my experience, having used both versions of Office extensively, The Office 365 seems to run more seamlessly than an installed version of either Office 2010 or 2013. When I was using either one of these versions, I would get little glitches in some of the programs from time to time, and would usually have to consult someone from an Office support group to get these resolved. However, since subscribing to Office 365, Hone version, I have experienced no problems with any of the included applications. It is currently installed on 3 different computers, and as far as I know, they all work well. When one considers what you get for the price, I find it hard to go wrong with this subscription, and I believe that I will be using it for a long time.

Is there any discernable advantage to using the Office 2013 cloud version offered through the Office 365 Small Business plan or the standard disk instalation with Office 2010? I’ve got a 2010 package with one system install available to and am not quite sure if I should go ahead and load this version on to my new system or if I should simply run the more recent 2013 cloud downloaded version.

I’ll be using the latest Jaws 16and for the time being sticking with Windows 8.1 until Windows 10 gets its first few bug fixing related updates.

Re: [JAWS-Users] one line column view
Kevin, All I ever change in the View tab of WLM is the Message List dropdown, and I make sure that the 1-line view is checked. This gives you the Senders name, the subject, and the date and time that the message was sent. It also tells you if the message has been read or not. This is the only change that I have ever made to the way that my messages are displayed, and this sounds like what you are wanting. You only have to change this once, and all other folders follow suit.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Recovering SSD
Yeah, I keep forgetting that, but I do understand why it is. Find the information below from Crucial Technical Support: Hello Michael, Thank you for contacting Crucial. In most cases, your SSD can be returned to normal operating condition by completing a power cycle. The process will take approximately one hour. We recommend you perform this procedure on a desktop computer because it allows you to only connect the SATA power connection, which improves the odds of the power cycle being successful. However, a USB enclosure with an external power source will also work. Apple and Windows desktop users follow the same steps. 1. Once you have the drive connected and sitting idle, simply power on the computer and wait for 20 minutes. We recommend that you don't use the computer during this process. 2. Power the computer down and disconnect the drive for 30 seconds. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 at least one more time. 4. Reconnect the drive normally, and boot the computer to your operating system. 5. If the latest firmware has not been updated to your drive, do so. Go to http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd for our firmware updates. A laptop computer will also work, but you’ll have to connect the drive and navigate to the system's BIOS menu. (Please refer to your system manufacturer’s documentation on how to access the BIOS.) Allowing the drive to sit in the BIOS will improve the odds that the power cycle will work. For laptops, we don’t recommended using a USB enclosure powered via USB. In addition, Apple users must hold the Option key while they power on the system (with the SSD installed). This will boot the Mac to the Startup Manager screen. The Startup Manager screen works like the BIOS screen on a laptop, in that it gives the drive power without any data throughput. 1. Laptop users will need to be in the BIOS menu, or Mac Startup Manager as stated above. The computer will need to stay powered for 20 minutes. We recommend you don’t use the laptop during this process. 2. Power the computer down and disconnect the drive for 30 seconds. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 one more time. 4. Reconnect the drive normally, and boot the computer to your operating system. 5. If the latest firmware has not been updated to your drive, do so. Go to http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd for our firmware updates. In the event that we need to set up a warranty RMA exchange, please provide us with your shipping address (no PO boxes, please) and contact information. -Original Message- From: Michael B.

So, I did this, and when finished, the drive was cleaned of its contents, of course, but the available space did not return to the 105 GB that I expected, it stayed at 32.1 GB. I then consulted some articles on how to recover the lost space on the drive, and concluded that the partition had not been removed from the drive, and I performed the necessary action to remove it through disk management. Well, low and behold, the entire drive disappeared from my drive list in This PC, and nothing I have tried has been able to make the computer recognize the drive again. When I plug the drive into the computer, I get the normal connection sounds an such, but the drive is not appearing in the drive list. So, it seems to me, that the drive is hidden in some fashion, and I am not surehow to go about getting it to appear again. From what further reading I have done on the subject, I believe it may be something in how the computer changed the binary code on the drive, since any given empty drive should be written with all zeroes, mine was apparently over written in some fashion with all ones or a combination of both. In any case, I am now at a loss as how to recover the drive if possible. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
