Re: [JAWS-Users] low battery
Hi Petras, When you get down to a certain percentage of battery power (ten percent or so), Jaws should announce "Low Battery" and advise you to save your work and plug into an outlet. The message may vary depending on the model of the computer, but like I said, you should hear something like this. I've never had it happen when a sighted person was around, but I think it shows up on the screen as well.

Re: [JAWS-Users] 32 or 64 bit
Hi J, After pressing the Windows key and pause combination, try activating the Jaws cursor. I just did this on my Windows 7 laptop and hit the down arrow key several times. Doing so allowed Jaws to read my system type along with other basic information about my computer. I hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How can I make jaws to announce the extension of file?
Thanks, Flor. I didn't think of that, but it's a good tip. I tried it, and it definitely saves time as it removes that extra step of going into Control Panel.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How can I make jaws to announce the extension of file?
Hello Mohib, I believe the setting you want is in Control Panel. I'm running Windows 7/64-Bit, but depending on what operating system/configuration you have, the procedure may be slightly different. Here's how I do this. First, press the Windows start menu button and start typing Control Panel into the search box. When this pops up, press enter and then the letter F until you hear Jaws say, "Folder Options." From there, press enter again. You will be on the General tab, so press control tab until you hear something like "View Page." At this point, you can press tab to enter a tree view which controls how much information is displayed about Files/Icons. Hit the down arrow key until you hear something like "Hide Extensions for Known File Types." If this is On, press the Space bar to turn it off, tab to the OK button, and press enter. Now, you should hear both the name of a file and the extension as you described. I hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JFW and Foxfire
Hello, If this is what I think it is, there's nothing wrong with your version of Firefox. . I have Version 34, and this has happened to me in the past as well. From what I remember when the list helped me, the issue has to do with Full Screen Mode or something like it. The key command to fix this is either F11 or Control F11. I would start by trying those keystrokes while on a webpage in Firefox, and maybe others on here have a better explanation or other ideas as well.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding USB 3.0 ports
Anyone on here can feel free to correct me, but I don't think there's very much difference between a USB 2.0 and 3.0 port. It sounds like the colors are different, but other than that, they're probably alike except for speed. If I'm not mistaken, USB 3.0 is faster than 2.0. The computer and the connected device may share data more quickly, but that may be all.

[JAWS-Users] Firefox and Keyboard Shortcuts with Jaws.
Has anyone else had issues recently using keyboard shortcuts with Jaws to access Bookmarks and other features in Firefox? I tried to get to one of my bookmarks this morning and noticed that the key combination to get to the Bookmarks menu suddenly didn't do anything. I was able to use it without any problems earlier this week before the Jaws update. Could Firefox or something in this update have caused some change so that Jaws doesn't recognize this keystroke?
