[Blind-Computing] Stopping: This message was converted to plain text, in JAWS

2009-10-08 Thread Chris Feist
Hi. With JAWS 10 in Outlook, when I open an email, I often get the message "This message was converted to plain text" before it reads the email. Is it possible to have this version of JAWS not say that? JAWS 7.0 doesn't ever say this, but the later versions all seem to. Thanks, Chris Feist - T

Don, Good points and ideas. The fingerprint etc you discuss would all be eliminated with the clean command, correct? After not being able to do what I wanted, I wiped the drive clean, re partitioned it and layed down new formats. I think I'm going to once again set it up with the factory disks and

I have not replaced a drive like you are attempting to do. I do know that Image for Windows is designed to do just that operation. In fact, it should also make replacing the drive with a larger drive a breeze. I have also heard Leo LePorte walk people through the process on his "The Tech Guy"

Your thought on the fact where a system has multiple hard drives sounds interesting and makes me think that is a possibility. Also I must point out that it would seem to me that the manner in which the drive in question has been formatted does play a part in the recovery process. You see as I u

Jon, No I haven't but may do so. I'm sure with some sighted assistance this issue can be resolved, I just kind of like the way the DVD disks could lay down an image without that type assistance. I'll keep you posted, thanks for the suggestions. al -Original Message- From: blind-computin

Have you tried contacting the author of the program for help? I have restored images to new, larger hard drives and it has worked fine for me. I did do it from an image that was on an external HD, using the Image for DOS boot CD and I had sighted assistance. But the restore did work and the n

David, After doing some research yesterday, I believe the source of the conflict is in having multiple physical disk drives in the machine I set the new image up in and then burned it. As you know, the BIOS assigns drive #'s and in my case the are 0 & 1. My suspicion is that when I go to restore t

Hi Mark, you can do the install without sighted assistance, but it is recommended that for the first few times when booting from the DVD you get someone to make sure that you're selecting the right options etc. Alternatively you can install inside your current version of Windows.

Windows 7 will be a much better version of Vista so to speak. Keyboard operations will feel like lightning. Those are my personal thoughts, and I think most people who are using it already in the RC or even RTM phase will agree with me. -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopher...@googlemail.com
