Hi! This might be a long shot, but I had a similar problem with my new computer about a year ago. If you have a creative sound card, you might check for a program called dllml. It slows everything down a lot, and from what I understand, Creative has done away with it now. Anyway, as soon as I

Hi lisa, by default, I believe IE checks for updates every 24 hours, someone please correct me if i'm wrong. as far as slowing the machine down goes, that'll only happen if you allow attached files, for example, MP3 files to be automatically downloaded, otherwise, all that happens is an HTmL

Hi all. I downloaded Mp3 Clip from the programs page. I'm having trouble figuring out how to tell it how to split the files because I can't find where to put in the time for how long I want each split file to be. In fact, it doesn't seem very accessible at all to me so far. Any thoughts? Is

I normally use booksplit since it's a lot simpler interface, and you just basically use radio buttons to choose standard times ranging from 1 minute up to something like 20 minutes. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...Fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' -

Hi again. I've been having trouble with BookSplit which I also downloaded from the programs page. No matter which time selection I toggle to, when I click on autosplit it will only split a file into five minute chunks. I can't get it to split into 20 minutes, or 30 minutes, etc. Does that make

What version of booksplit do you have? The one I've got here is literally called: BooksplitV2.exe (without the quotes) When I just tested it with a 40 minute file splitting into 5 minute parts, it worked fine. Basically, I tabbed to the select file button, selected the gile there, tabbed to

Hi Freddie. I downloaded BooksplitV2.exe from the JAWS users programs page. Have you also tried to split the files into bigger files such as 10 or 20 minutes to see if it works? The thing is I have no problem splitting a large file into five minute files. But that's all it will do for me. I

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it. I wonder if it's a free program. All I want is an easy to use program that will split Mp3's into 20 or 30 minute files for my Zen Stone. It seems that for both you and me, BookSplit won't do that. Chris Feist - The one and only! -Original

I would assume that if you open the configuration manager (Jaws key + number row 6) while in outlook express, then go to the set options menu (Alt + S), then move down to synthesizer options, and open that dialogue, if you tab to the punctuation level combo box, change it to whatever, tab to

It's not all that simple to use, and the main thing to remember is that Ctrl + F6 will move screen section to screen section whereafter you tab around those controls to change things. Might be simplest to import around 4 5 minute sections one after the other (hopefully sequentially), and then
