Annabelle:
Using the Rebuild MBR function for any software
such as Minitool Partition Wizard or Disk Genius, should not change
the boot sequence in the BIOS.

I
bet if that happens, then I would need Markus's help to possibly fix something
in the Bios. Right now, I think it says the first boot device in the boot
order is the DVD/CD Rom drive.

Here's
what I get when I press Enter on "Rebuild Master Boot Record".
Create
new Master Boot Record(MBR) for current selected disk
(HD2:WDCWDS500G2B0C-00PXH0(466GB)). Existing MBR will be replaced.
Create MBR now?
Note: If there is a boot manager software installed on
MBR, it will be destroyed.
Yes No
What
shall I do next?

Annabelle may
not need to use the Windows recovery disk option.
there is a
program called "Disk Genius", which is very accessible with screen
readers. In the program, there is a function, which will rebuild the
MBR information for her system disk. Once that has been done,
Annabelle should hopefully be able to boot her system, using the
system disk thus, avoiding the hastle of reinstalling and
reconfiguring all her software. the free version of the program can be
downloaded from the download page at the following link:
Once the page
is loaded, press JAWS/INSERT KE+F7, to open the JAWS list links
function. tap the DOWN ARROW, a few times, and the 32 and 64 bit free
versions of the software are there.
I do not know
what the full limitations of the free version is but, I do know that
the option to rebuild the MBR information for a drive,
is not restricted because, I needed to use the function to
rebuild the MBR for my system drive a couple of years ago.

Hi,
Annabelle. Unfortunately, it will erase both programs and documents.
Your programs can be installed again, and can probably be easily
found on the Internet. But your data will most certainly need to be
backed up before doing the recovery.

had the rebooting problem before the Jaws

I
think her computer's MBR is messed up from an improper shutdown
from a power loss.

Hi,
Annabelle. I don't know why your machine is going into an endless
cycle of restarts, but this sounds more serious than a JAWS repair
or reinstall. You may need to do a Windows recovery using your
Windows 10 CD. You may also need to take your machine into a store
to see what is going on, since it is impossible to access your
BIOS without sighted assistance.

Re: Access Clasic Taskbar Settings In Windows

I
did that, but still nothing changed. What's even weirder is I have
to have the Windows 10 CD in my CD Rom drive while restarting my
machine, otherwise, if I don't, the machine seems to go into this
endless cycle of restarts. Could it be something got messed up in
the Bios when I pressed the reset button by accident when I meant
to press the power button instead?

Hi
again, Annabelle. One thing I forgot to say, because it is such
a habit with me is this. If you haven't restarted your computer
after the problem started happening, I would do so before doing
anything else. This often clears up problems in Windows, JAWS,
and other programs you may be running.

That's
strange! The problem disappears in default directory mode, or
whatever you said it is. So what shall I do next? Do I just
recreate the custom profile I made of Eloquence?

Hi,
Annabelle. I'm not sure how these things happen, but, as we
use JAWS, sometimes files are overwritten, and sometimes they
are overwritten incorrectly. One other thing you could try is
the following.
Put
JAWS temporarily into Default alternate user
directory mode. This can be accomplished in the following
way,
1. Press INSERT plus SPACE to enter
layered commands.
2.
Press the letter Z. JAWS will say,
Default alternate user directory
mode
It
will also unload any modifications you have made to the
default settings in JAWS. Because of this, JAWS may begin
speaking slower or with a different voice.
Now
that JAWS is in Default alternate user directory
mode, open one of the programs that was giving you trouble
with the classic
"Taskbar And Start Menu" Settings, and see if the trouble
continues in this mode. If it does not keep happening, the
problem was caused by something that was changed in the JAWS
settings. If the problem continues in this mode, it is a
problem occuring with JAWS, even in its default
state.
Now,
to exit Default alternate user directory
mode,
1. Press INSERT plus SPACE to enter
layered commands.
2.
Press the letter Z. JAWS will say,
Default alternate user directory mode
off.
If
the problem was absent when Default alternate
user directory mode was active, I would suggest a clean
reinstall of JAWS, if the repair does not work.

Hi,

screen reader such as Narrator or NVDA to see if the
problem occurs with those screen readers? It could be a
JAWS problem that could be fixed by using the JAWS
installer for your current version of JAWS to do a JAWS
repair.

Access Clasic Taskbar Settings In Windows
10?
I'm
having trouble accessing the classic "Taskbar And Start
Menu" settings in Windows 10. Every time I press enter on
"Taskbar and Start Menu", I'm taken to the new version
made in "Settings". Unfortunately that version is not easy
to access with screenreaders like JAWS. I wish there was a
way that I could access classic parameters made for
earlier versions of Windows, as they are more suitable for
the sight challenged. Specifically I'm trying to turn off
the parameter to "Click on submenus when I pause on them",
as it drives me mad! If someone could please make a
registry key for me, I would kindly appreciate it! Thank
you!
