Re: where are window-eyes sounds stored by default?

2017-04-14 Thread net bat via Talk

I want to change my sound scheme, but my other scheme doesn't have the
window-eyes start / stop, and other 4 sounds in it. Where are they
stored when WE is installed?

Re: Alternative to Eset

2017-04-14 Thread Brenda via Talk
I hear Sophos Home works well with window-eyes and is free for up to 10 
users.  I guess it runs like a web page.  there are folks on the 
blindtech and this list that use it.  You have to go to their website to 
download it.



I prefer something that I load to my pc from disk so I chose Vipre.  
They have US based tech support and will help you with issues.  Also, 
they at least know what screen readers are.  The really good deal I got 
from HSN helped me make my final decision.



I hear some jaws and NVDA users have some success using vipre and I have 
"sighted assistance" if I have issues.One person said it made his 
fan run alot, but noone else has said that.



I have been trying to find an accessible antivirus/security program 
lately, and this is all I can tell you.

I think, I could be wrong, but you need to install WE 9.00 before installing

However, since you purchased the disc, perhaps that part is taken care of

Hi, List,

I bought and downloaded WindowEyes 9.5.4 and installed it over the top
of my 8 something version of WindowEyes.  It didn't work with my
programs as well as the old version did.  I didn't realize that I needed
to have version 9.3 in my PC for the upgrade to work.  I had 9.5.4
uninstalled and went back to WindowEyes 8.0.0.  I have gotten almost
everything set up the way I like it, but I do have some questions.

1.  I used to hear a harp sound before I heard the speech say,
WindowEyes, but I don't hear the harp now.  Why?

2.  Yesterday, I extracted some talking books onto my cartridge.  I
heard the progress beeps but the speech and braille didn't show the
percentage of the download.  How can I fix this?

3.  When I open my inbox in Thunderbird, I hear "Thunderbird.set
associated none."  Should I change the association to thunderbird.set?
Everything else appears fine, but it seems odd the association should be
shown as none.

That's all for now.  Thanks for any help.

major issues with Window eyes 9.5.4

2017-04-14 Thread David Crowell via Talk
Hi Everyone, 

I am having major issues with the most current version of  window eyes.  

 

My all in one computer developed some kind of issue and my computer guy had
to do a reset to windows 10.  Unfortunately this caused anything not
Microsoft to be deleted from the computer. 

 

When I went to reinstall window eyes again I got several error issues about
the program being blocked.  I realized the CD I had was only WE 9.5.3.  So
since I did not have the certificate fix it would not allow me to download
WE 9.5.3  

My computer guy googled Window eyes and it gave directions to go to
AIsquared website and find the certificate fix and down load the program
from there.  

 

We did this and now I have speech once again.  

 

But here are two major issues I am having.  In the start options I have
window eyes to start at the log in screen and run window eyes after the
login screen for all users.  The in the after logging inI have chosen run
window eyes using the global start up options selected.  

 

But what is happening is window eyes will say Window Eyes Treview at the log
in screen and then once the desktop is up window eyes does not speak and I
have to do a control alt W to get speech.  

 

Any help would greatly be appreciated.  Dave

Re: gun shy about new laptop

2017-04-14 Thread Lloyd Rasmussen via Talk
I am typing this on a 7-year-old Toshiba laptop that cost about $700 at the 
time. Had to have it repaired once when I messed up the touch strip above 
the function keys.
The technology and features keep changing, so I'm not sure you can 
generalize about brands very much.
I wouldn't get the smallest, thinnest and lightest laptop I could. I 
probably wouldn't get one designed for gaming, either, which is largley what 
they talk about in PC World, since luxury computers pay the bills for the 
subscription magazines like that.
I was fortunate to go into a Best Buy store and work with a salesman for 
more than a half hour on a Saturday morning, starting up Narrator on their 
demos and seeing how responsive the speech was, what sort of keyboard the 
laptop had, how many ports and of what type, etc.

about the quality of Toshiba laptops.  Then again, a computer tech friend 
of mine says most laptops for personal use are not built to last more than 
a few years.  I miss having my desktops that easily lasted. 7-8 years or 
longer.

Hello, on a similar note, I have been reading up on to Sheba and some of 
the losses that have occurred because of various things like bad 
management, etc. How risky is it now, to buy a to Shiba computer for 
business purposes question does anyone have a clue after hearing Jonathan 
Moseman's podcast in November 2016 question thank you, I have liked to 
Shiba in the past but wonder if I couldn't get a business computer and 
still have the portability that I like? Thank you so much.

Hi,
A couple years ago I purchased a Toshiba.
There were some thigs i liked.
1.  Toshiba had a  utility where I went in and turned off the function key 
myself.

2.  It has the 10 key number pad.
3.  it has the applications key.
Here is the link, you can get it refurbished for about  $350.00 It has 
windows 8.1 on it but you should be able to install Windows 10.

Late last summer I got a new HP laptop.  The primary thing that drew me to 
it in the store was the keyboard layout of having the 10-key number pad on 
the right, yet only being a 15 inch screen.  What I did not realize until 
after I got it home and paid money for a tech to come help me set it up 
was two things.  First, it does not have the application key, which I have 
learned to get around with the Shift F10 keystroke. The bigger problem was 
the whole thing we've talked about with now having to push the FN key in 
order to get the function keys to work the way I want.  (I had not found 
someone who was comfortable going into the bios to help me see about 
changing this.)  The biggest problem Is that this function key thing also 
applies to the Insert key, as it is right next to the F12 key.  I've 
gotten pretty good at using the caps lock key instead, but this requires 
some real finger gymnastics to activate certain Window Eyes command. 
Aside from all this, there is also some w

 ird clicking thing that the keyboard occasionally does that is annoying. 
All this to say, it's
