Re: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible
Hi Chris, Thanks for posting this information. I just un installed AVG 7 point 5, and installed Avast 4 point 8. I did like you said and everything is working great! There was only one thing that was not accessible though. When your ask to type in the 3 digit code, I was unable to find it. But once I was able to get a pair of eyes in the room and get the 3 digit code, things went smoothly. Again, thanks for the posting. Take care, Roger C Bachelder 3rd [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Hallsworth Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 2:46 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible Hi all, please accept my apologies for the duplicate posts, however I feel that the more people that get the below instructions, the better. So here we go. Hi all, do the following two things to make Avast more accessible. Configuring Avast to not use the skins for the simple user interface: 1. Start Avast. 2. Wait for the memory test to be completed, then close the web page that appears. You should now land on a dummy check box. 3. Press the applications key to open a context menu, down arrow to settings and press enter. The Programme Settings dialogue box appears, with the categories tree gaining focus. 4. Tab until you hear, enable skins for simple user interface check box checked. Press space to uncheck it. 5. Tab to ok and press enter. You'll land back on the dummy check box. 6. Close and restart Avast. You should now be able to tab through the controls in this programme. Configuring JAWS to read lists in Avast: 1. Make sure that you're focused on the Avast Simple User Interface. 2. Press JAWS key 6 to open Configuration Manager. 3. Press enter to accept the New Configuration File dialogue box. 4. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press a. The advanced Options dialogue box appears. 5. Shift tab till you hear, Rely on MSAA for List Views check box not checked. Press space to check it. 6. Press enter to activate the ok button. 7. Either press control s to save your configuration file immediately, or press alt F4, pressing enter to activate the yes button on the confirm dialogue box. By doing these steps, you'll resolve an issue on some machines whereby JAWS stops speaking when focused on any of the lists in Avast. Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group?

Sorry - this email mistakenly went to the list rather than me forwarding it to my friend . Sorry for any inconvenience. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Griffith Sent: Friday, 09 May 2008 23:01 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible Dear Rob S As you know I found your Avast anti virus inaccessible so I could not check it. I saw the below email which seems to be instructions on how to make Avasst accessible for Jaws. May be worth a try. You might need Annette's help.

So here we go. Hi all, do the following two things to make Avast more accessible. Configuring Avast to not use the skins for the simple user interface: 1. Start Avast. 2. Wait for the memory test to be completed, then close the web page that appears. You should now land on a dummy check box. 3. Press the applications key to open a context menu, down arrow to settings and press enter. The Programme Settings dialogue box appears, with the categories tree gaining focus. 4. Tab until you hear, enable skins for simple user interface check box checked. Press space to uncheck it. 5. Tab to ok and press enter. You'll land back on the dummy check box. 6. Close and restart Avast. You should now be able to tab through the controls in this programme. Configuring JAWS to read lists in Avast: 1. Make sure that you're focused on the Avast Simple User Interface. 2. Press JAWS key 6 to open Configuration Manager. 3. Press enter to accept the New Configuration File dialogue box. 4. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press a. The advanced Options dialogue box appears. 5. Shift tab till you hear, Rely on MSAA for List Views check box not checked. Press space to check it. 6. Press enter to activate the ok button. 7. Either press control s to save your configuration file immediately, or press alt F4, pressing enter to activate the yes button on the confirm dialogue box. By doing these steps, you'll resolve an issue on some machines whereby JAWS stops speaking when focused on any of the lists in Avast. Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible
Corey, you have to go to their site and email them and ask for a license key. They are very good in sending it and telling you what to do. There's no graphical box, but they do give you a 60 day trial. Let me know how you make out.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making Avast More Accessible
Hi all, don't worry about it being private or not, but yes shift F10 will also work. The reason I stated the applications key is that this key is pretty much standard on most modern keyboards, but let me stress that shift F10 *will* work to bring up the skin's context menu. Hope that helps. Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group?
