Well I learnt this the hard way when I wanted to create a group on Yahoo.
Everything went well until the word verification. I was shocked to see that
Yahoo requires you to complete the word verification each time you want to
do something, like set up a group. How come Google isn't like this?

The check disc is more of a surface scan whereas the scan disk scans the
files and folders.
The process takes a lot longer using scan disc than it does with check disc.

Wow, thanks for telling me! All along I've been using just the scan disk

Hi All,
I am a little confused. Is there a difference between Skype and
SkypeWatch? I am currently using an older version of Skype and I want
to upgrade to a newer version. I am only interested in connecting
with friends using just the basic that my old version provides for me now.
So, I
SkypeWatch is part of the JAWS support for Skype. When you install Skype
scripts, there's a feature that allows JAWS to monitor contact status
changes etc. This is known as Skypewatch. So yes, you can upgrade to the
latest version and never be affected by what you want to use it for. Hope

Hello everyone,
I have noticed since I have installed JAWS8.0 on 3 different computers (2 XP
computers and now this Windows Vista) that when in say all, the page down key
slows down speech and the page up increases speech.
I checked FS's technical notices archive all the way through 09/21/2007
Yes this appears to happen on my Windows XP machine running JAWS 8, and page
up/down with the say all increases/decreases the speed of the voice. If you
look in the JAWS help, then I'm sure it will tell you. Hope that helps.
