The Video Card Issue

Hi All, Jonathan's message struck home with me. I'm responsible for supporting JFW in a campus environment where many of the computers that have JFW installed are not used exclusively by people who are blind. As the campus upgrades computer equipment I'm finding more and more trouble with vi

Tiffany, Do these problems only happen when you are connected to NetZero? Try loading Outlook Express without being connected for example. NetZero does open another Window for displaying of ads. On occasion I've found it messes with things but if I do a minimize all Windows the problem seems t

Hi All, I have recently started exploring JFW for NT and have a couple questions dealing with some quirks I've noticed. 1. When in Internet Explorer, any of the keys that bring up lists, that's Insert-F7 and Insert-F9, work as expected but JFW doesn't announce, "Jaws, select a link dialog." I'v

Hi, The most important key to know about the filter process is F6. That key allows you to toggle between the list of filters and the specific contents for any filter. You should already have the folder created where you want the filter to send messages, or at the very least be comfortable with

Yahoo's mail service now allows this. It still requires that you have your own smtp server for sending from the email program but you can configure your Yahoo mail account to allow for pop access for free. See http://mail.yahoo.com for more details. NetAddress at http://www.netaddress.usa.ne

Tab Marker in Word

Hi All, Does anyone know how to get JFW to recognize the symbol used to indicate tabs in a Word 97 or 2000 document? I've enabled the display of the Tab mark from the View tab of the options dialog. This is similar to the display of paragraph marks for which JFW will indicate that a paragraph m

In the worst case you can determine what's checked and unchecked by checking the amount of required disk space for each item as you adjust it. That install has several options for each item, such as installed on first use, installed immediately, or run from the CD. The context menu for each item

Do not do this. It is illegal as illegal can be. If a publisher stops selling a book I'm not allowed to simply copy and distribute it because I feel I have a need to do so. You are talking about doing the identical thing. The end does not justify the mean here. At 07:19 PM 7/1/99 -0400, you
