[JAWS-Users] 32 vs. 64 bit
Hi all. If I buy a new computer, would it be better to get a 64 bit than a 32 bit one? I try to hold on to things for as long as possible and would rather be prepared for future growth, and not have to upgrade in a yearr or so. What considerations are there. For example, can I transfer all of my programs and info from my old , 32 bit computer to a new64 bit one? If all things will be 64 bit in the future, wouldn't it make sense to upgrade to that system now? Thanks for any thoughts.

[JAWS-Users] Changes with un-install of older versions?
Hi all; I have 11.0 and XP home. I was in the middle of un-installing my 10.0 to give me more space on my PC. As I was un-installing, the JAWS speech got very slow and I panicked, thinking I might be screwing up my settings, so, I canceled the un-instal. I still have the 10.0 and use the 11.0 version. Why did the speech get slow during this action? How or should I un-install my older versions? I assume I go to the ADD or Remove section and proceed with the directions of un-installing my 10.0. Oh, would this effect any of my merged settings on 11.0? Thank you for any help. Rich For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] I E and history
Hi all; I have 11.0 and XP home. I think I have I E 8. Just recently, when I go to look at the history in I E by hitting control H, I only get 20 items listed. Usually, I would hear History and get to choose which of the dates I want to look at. My settings are for 14 days but, I can not find any dates to look at when I open the history. Again, the only showing is a list of 20 items. How can I get it back to the original view? Thanks Rich For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] Book/place marks?
Hi all; I have XP home and 11.0. I noticed that on a particular web site, by hitting K, that the book mark [place mark]had moved down the page a bit. When I tried to change it back to the normal spot, by hitting control K, the book/place mark did not move . Has the key stroke changed in 11.0? Thanks!

Thanks, that is the info I was looking for. I just called Best Buy and they have a compact PC with windows 7 and 2-4 g RAM. for $280.00. Could I hook up my existing monitor and printer to this? What about the devices I have installed software for such as camera etc. Would these things be transferable? or, would I have to install the software individually? By the way, I presently have 384 M B RAM, for $60.00 I could bump it up to 768. Would this memory be too little? Thank you.

You could transfer all your programs and such with a program like PcMover. The problem comes in as far as the operating system. This is for technical as well as operational and security reasons. From a technical standpoint, you'd need to make sure that the hardware on the new machine would work with your old operating system. Also, you'd have to get a machine without an operating system which usually means building your own or having somebody build it to your specifications. That's doable, but these days, you can buy a system for less money than you can build it. From an operational and security standpoint, you now have XP Home. XP support is going away, the support will end in 2014. This means after 2014, you will no longer be getting any updates for security holes and threats. Additionally, XP is inherently more security flawed than Windows 7. The drawback to updating for you might be financial. For Win 7, you'll really need Jaws 11. For Vista, Jaws 8 is the earliest version I think, although Jaws 9 is better in my opinion. And, since most commercial vendors are peddling the 64-bit editions of Vista and Win 7, this means you'll need at least Jaws 10 since that is the first version that supported a 64-bit edition. Because Jaws and really any screen-reader, buries itself so deeply in the operating system, earlier versions won't work on 64-bit operating systems, even though other run-of-the-mill 32-bit programs will work.

Hi Steve, While the specs are nice, although those specs are the bare minimum in my opinion, the fact is, if you're going to run Jaws 11 on a computer running Windows 7 64 bit edition, there is absolutely no point in using that computer unless it's got at least 4 gigs of RAM, otherwise the thing will be slower than molasses. If she wanted a slow computer, she might as well keep the one she has and save her money.

When you open the control panel go into the view menu and use down arrow key and make sure either list or details is checked. In the view menu use down arrow to the arrange by menu, use right arrow key to move into the submenu and then find the name choice by using up or down arrow key. Press enter on the name choice. Of course, only do so if files are not in the sort order you want. This action should reverse the sort order for the control panel. Open HJ Pad and see if the files in the open dialog box are now sorted correctly. If not then go back into the control panel and when the icons are sorted by name in ascending order then go under the tools menu and open options. Use CTRL+tab to move to the view page. Use tab key to move to the button that lets you apply current view to all folders and use that button. Close out of the box and check HJ Pad again to find out if files are correctly sorted. I hope you get it working. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] HJ pad addition to last post
Thank you for your patience. I open HJ pad, then control O, then shift tab to list view. JAWS starts at the Z's and says not selected the name of the Z filer/folder 1 of 50. When I do the same thing for microsoft word, the list begins with the A's. I can get toHJ pad either by going to JAWS then run HJ pad or[I have a short cut key for this] Or, I can go to microsoft word and arrow to my files and open it up that way. Boy, this is weird, since I just tried the latter the folders were in alphabetical order, but when going directly to HJ pad they remained in the opposite order.

Give us step by step directions exactly what you are doing to get to these files/folders that are screwed up. The only place that files are stored in HJ Pad is in the File Menu in Recent Files.

Unfortunately, I am not at a system with XP Home but I know that with XP Professional the arrange by choice is present. Make sure that after using CTRL with O to bring up the open dialog box and that after you use shift with tab to move into the list view that there is nothing selected. If a file or folder name is selected then the context menu that you get when using the application key will have choices specific to that file or folder. If JAWS doesn't say not selected then try using CTRL with spacebar to take the selection off of the file or folder. Of course, if nothing is selected and you use the CTRL with spacebar command then you will be selecting as it is a toggle command. When nothing is selected then use the application key and check for a choice with a submenu that would have to do with setting the order of the list such as the arrange by or sort by. If you don't find such a menu then perhaps someone else with XP home can give you a suggestion. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Word question
I have JAWS 10.00 and XP home. My sighted wife noticed that in Word, that paragraph symbols are appearing and can not be removed. She also says when she tries to go to another line, she is dropped 3 to 5 lines down. I've noticed, while in JAWS, I may try to edit an existing document and the curser controls do not move as it should. For example, I will delete a letter and when I go to read the work many more letters will have been deleted. Thanks for any help.

Hello Marilyn; Here are my 3 messages that I did not receive any replies. --- 2/28 Hi all; I have XP and 10.0 When I copy an e mail message from O E then paste it in to HJ pad or Word, When JAWS reads it to me, there are added symbols in the message body. These symbols are not read while in O E but only after I put it somewhere else. 2/28 Hi all; I have XP and 10.0. I have a cordless keyboard and mouse. My sighted wife noticed that while using the mouse, the curser on the screen was scrolling automatically and she could not control it with the mouse. I noticed, while using the keyboard, when trying to click on links with the enter button, nothing would happen. I also tried using the JAWS curser which did not work either. While having this trouble, when I hit the tab key, JAWS would announce virtual curser. The batteries are fairly new in the keyboard. Any thoughts? --- 1/31 Hi all; I have XP and 10.00. I think I have the most recent IE. I've been trying to put Free weather as my home page. In the past, when IE loaded, Free Weather would come up ready to read. Lately, the title will be Free Weather, but it does not read until I tab a few times. One of the tabs is ,compatibility view is checked. I can either keep tabbing or, hit the space bar and the Free Weather will be able to read. So, what is the compatibility view? and, what should it be set on?

Would you be able to give specific directions on how to perform a restore? My fear is that is the way I lost this information in the first place when I used Fast Access DSL to go back in time. If I originally went back to 12/11/09, What point would I now go back to in order to possibly retrieve the lost information? Thank you for the help.

I can tell you right now if they are not in a deleted folder or some other folder. Then you won't get them back. A restore may do the job, but wouldn't count on that method either. See emails unless saved separately are not stored as a file on the harddrive. The email program saves the folder as one file with no backup. The restore may be able to pull that file from its archives, but even that would be luck and worth a shot. At 11:02 PM 1/8/2010, you wrote: I downloaded this utility and ran it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Web search, and book reading?
Thank you all for the great suggestions. I have tried some of these already and try some more.

Your best bet may be - if you can't get a printed copy of their book and don't have OCR - to download a .pdf version of what they're using (if such can be procured) and use it as the basis for pagination purposes, at least. (The .pdf might be a more accurate rendering of the printed book. HTML, being computer based and on the computer screen, cannot really be.)

Hi everyone; I have XP home and 9.0. When I shut down the computer, I hit the alt F4 buttons. I get a message that says no window is active. It seems to take a long time to properly shut down and I have to alt tab around to speed things up. Is this normal? and, Is there a faster way to shut down to get out of different applications?

I now choose to answer your current round of combo box related questions. My answer to each question is in parentheses after it. What is the difference with hitting enter and using the alt. down arrow? It sounds like you have to do both. (You do, usually.) (See your final question and my answer to it.) Is the alt. down/up arrow like a switch? and one does not have to use this combination when navigating the particular list? (No. While navigating the list, you use just the arrow keys. Alt+down opens; alt+up closes.) Is a combo box only present for using forms? (Very theoretical, that question. You will need to 'edit' by choosing an item from the combo box. At the moment that requires that you hit the enter key or left-mouse single-click. JAWS interprets this as 'forms mode on'.) Thanks again.

The box then collapses and the selected entry is shown. In JAWS, first you need to press Enter in the combo box to enter forms mode. Then press Alt down arrow to have the entire list open or drop down. Use the down and up arrows to select the entry you want. Then press Alt up arrow to close the combo box. Sometimes, a page is designed to change immediately based on their selection as soon as the value is selected. This is a problem for JAWS users in that if you just arrow down through the selection, the page will update immediately on a selection that is probably not desired. To prevent this, you absolutely need to use Alt down arrow to open the list and Alt up arrow to close the combo box. The page will update at this point on these dynamic pages.

When in Windows Media Player press Alt-P to bring up the play menu. Use up arrow a couple of times and press enter on the volume menu choice. Use down arrow and find out if the mute choice is checked. If so then press enter to remove the checkmark. If function key 7 was accidentally pushed while playing an audio file in Windows Media Player then the program might have been muted.

[JAWS-Users] FW: Question about JAWS, 7.3, and the Blackboard Discussion Board
Has anybody had a similar problem with Jaws and Blackboard If you want to reply off-list, my email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks Rich -Original Message- From: blkbrd-l - A list for Blackboard course administrators and faculty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Glen Parker Sent: 06 September 2007 14:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Question about JAWS, 7.3, and the Discussion Board I was posed the following questions about a students experience with JAWS and the 7.3 discussion board. Does anyone out there have more experience with JAWS and what is reasonable to expect from Blackboard? I was supporting a student yesterday that uses the JAWS reader to navigate her laptop. She was having difficulty replying to a post within the discussion board of her course. Prior to this semester, she was able to post replies without encountering any problems. Now, when she navigates to the reply section her JAWS reader does not see any editable forms (like text boxes) and turns the Forms option off. She is able to manually restart it, but it confirms that no forms are available. Here are the things we tried to resolve the problem: * Backed out of Blackboard and logged back in. A few times this worked. Probably 2 out of 10 attempts, but I believe this was due to the fact that her cursor was over the Message box already and she may have hit her touchpad causing it to select the form. * Tried logging in as a different user and checked how the reader performed in a different discussion board. No differences were noted. * I was able to manually select the field utilizing her touchpad, but this isn't an option for her. * I turned down the sensitivity and tapping option of the touchpad believing that she may be inadvertently hitting the touchpad causing her cursor to select the page outside of the Message text box she was trying to edit. Is it possible that her JAWS problem with viewing the reply section within 7.3 is due to the recent upgrade? Have any other students utilizing readers expressed similar problems? We did other sections within 7.3 and all seemed functional.

[JAWS-Users] Firewalls?
I have JAWS 6.0 and XP I am on DSL. . After reading one of the messages, on this list, I looked in my control panel and found that my Windows firewallwas off. I clicked it on. Since then, I have had a terrible time with my MacAfee and Spybot. My MacAfee says that I am not protected and I can not click on the fix symbol. Even my sighted wife says it doesn't work with the mouse. For some reason, prior to this, I was getting a message from MacAfee that it was updating and downloading a anti spam file. I also have been getting a lot of messages from Spybot that ask if I want to allow or deny certain files that have a MacAfee title to it. I usually click allow. I recently updated the new beta version of Spybot. I went back to un check theWindows firewall but this did not change the MacAfee or Spybot messages. My questions are. Do I need the Windows firewall checked? and why or why not. Also, if I want to un install Spybot how should I do it? It seems to be interfering more often. Thank you.
