Subject: Re: good registry cleaner Hi Mike, Adrian and all, I looked a Wise cleaner more carefully, and I have found it somewhat accessible using Mike and Adrian's advice. I was originally using the Wise Care 365, which includes more tools than Wise Cleaner; however, it is not accessible at all. You can go ahead and download Wise Cleaner from CNET at: http://download.cnet.com/Wise-Registry-Cleaner/3000-2086_4-10605508.html?part=dl-&subj=dl&tag=butto Go ahead and run the program. Next you have to allow it to run the program. Go ahead and allow it. At this point you will land on the "Set Up Window." Find the "next button" or press "alt+N" to go to the next window. Now you should be at the "agreement window." Read and agree to the terms and press "Next." You can press next on the next window as well unless you want to subscribe to the Wise Cleaner newsletter. Also press the next button to go to the next window unless you want to change where Wise Cleaner is installed by default. On the next window, you can choose to create or not create a start menu entry. Whatever yourchoice, press next. On the next window you can also choose to create a destop shortcut. Again, make your choice and press next. Now you should be at the instalation window. Find the instal button or press Alt+I. Next you should get a window that says, "Wise Disk Cleaner is a user friendly, fast and easy to use application developed to free up disk space by deleting junk files that are no longer used by any software on your system. Both Wise Registry Cleaner and Wise Disk Cleaner are designed to be used in tandem, allowing users to streamline their Windows Registry and optimize their hard drive. We recommend to run Wise Disk Cleaner before Wise Registry Cleaner." Go ahead and press next. On the next window, you have the finish button, go ahead and press finish. It will next take you to the Wise Cleaner website. Now you have to download and installed Disk Cleaner as recommended in the message above. I'm not writing the steps to installing it since it's similar to the steps above. Alturnitively, you can download it from CNET at: http://download.cnet.com/Wise-Disk-Cleaner/3000-2094_4-10613345.html?part=dl-&subj=dl&tag=button Now go ahead and open Wise Disk Cleaner. At this point, You should be at the choose your language dialog box. Here you have to Rout JAWS to PC by pressing JAWS key plus Dash on your numpad. Once you have done this, press control+End key to get to the bottom . Now you want to make sure you're on the ok button. Here you want to press "Slash from your numpad. This will take you to the next window, which I believe is the newsletter sign up window. I honestly didn't mess around with it since I don't want to sign up. I doubt that you'll have success if you want to sign up. If you're on this window, I would just press "Alt+f4. Thereby, you'll land on the "Wise Disk Cleaner" interface. Now it's time to run Wise Disk Cleaner, so rout JAWS to PC. Using your down arrow key, find the "Start Scan" button, and press the "Slash" key to activate it. Once the scan is done, it will give you the results. You should find the Start Cleaning button, and press "Slash" to clean it. Next it will say, "Cleanup was completed. Close it up. Now it's time to run Wise Registry Cleaner. Go ahead and open it up. The first thing you will see after the allow notification is going to be the "Choose your Language dialog Box." Follow the same stepps above used with Wise Disk Cleaner. It's the same deal with this program. You also get the newsletter window after pressing the ok button in the choose your language dialog box.

If it finds issues, press the "Start Cleaning" button. I hope you guys find this helpful. It might not be good at all, but I have done my best.

Hi Ariel,
When you are on a button or a checkbox try doing a single left mouse click using the numpad slash key & see if that works. You can also try opening the menues with the alt key while in the program to see if that brings up any options. This program sounds interesting & I'm curious to see just how accessible it is.

Hi Mike, As of now, I'm using the Wise Care 365, which includes the registry cleaner and drive wiper. I didn't try accessing the menus by routing the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor, but now that you brought it up, it does seem to be reading it. I'm not sure if you can actually activate the check for issues button or whatever it's called, but it might be worth trying.

Hi Tom, Much respect to you. You could very well be correct and I could be wrong. I have always looked at the Registry as the part that keeps your computer running, and tells your computer what to do when certain events occur. I appreciate your reply.Mechanic is definitely great. I used to have it, but I no longer do. Thanks, A On 12/18/2012 11:07 PM, Tom Lange wrote:

So as time went by, the registry grew both in size and complexity. It's nothing to trifle with, and it's always a good idea to back it up first before using any kind of cleaner program or, heaven forbid, using the registry editor to do any tweaking.
Another good registry cleaner that I've heard highly recommended is Registry Mechanic. It's not freeware and I don't have a link to it, but I'm sure a Google search will turn up something about it.

Hi everyone, I'm just going to throw this out there. It's often not the fault of a program. Sometimes it's better to live certain parts of the computer if you do not know much about it specially your registry. Your registry is what keeps your computer running. The registry is what executes orders for your computer when certain events occur. There are various things which could eventually slow down your PC's performance. As some of you know, if you use your computer a lot, a lot of unnecessary and unwanted information gets written to your registry. Furthermore, updating, uninstalling, or installing software on your computer will affect your computers performance over time. Registry cleaners can of course help sort some of these issues, but you should always be aware of what you are doing. If you don't have experiences with the registry, leave it alone, or ask some one who has experience. The registry is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. One mistake can cause your PC to stop working. I have seen various cases in which they didn't know what they were doing, so I had to reinstall Windows all over again. The point that I'm trying to make is that if you don't know much about the registry, please leave it alone. Always keep in mind that registry cleaners are less than perfect. There's always a chance that registry cleaners may remove needed data during the cleaning process. Leaving it alone will prevent you from unwanted headaches. However, if you really want to do it, than by all means do, but always do a registry backup, or Google it if you don't know what it is. Note that I'm not throwing it to bother anyone. For those interested in a good registry cleaner, check out the link below. It's an awesome one, but be sure to ask someone if you lack the knowledge, backup registry, or Google it before any actions. Thanks, A

one thing I don't like about CCleaner is that it does not give enough information about the registry items it finds. I didn't find that part of the program to helpful. It's good at cleaning unwanted files but I leave the registry alone now.
Also, Despite all advice from blind users, I am unable to select items in the registry to remove with the space bar and have to use the mouse cursor instead.
Someone mentioned another program called Abexo. Interesting that download.com does not have it. I wanted to see how popular it is and what sort of reviews people have about Abexo. I found lots through a web search but don't know the sources enough to trust them.

Re: buttons on touch pad using dell lattitude
Dave, I'm positive that it used to work. As a matter a fact, all of the other combinations with the fn and function keys do what it suppose to do accept this one. I can't seem to find a way to disable this darn thing lol. I was told from someone that I might have to install something called the del quickset.

Hi Tom, Much respect to you. You could very well be correct and I could be wrong. I have always looked at the Registry as the part that keeps your computer running, and tells your computer what to do when certain events occur. I appreciate your reply.Mechanic is definitely great. I used to have it, but I no longer do. Thanks, A On 12/18/2012 11:07 PM, Tom Lange wrote:
Hi, Actually, the registry isn't a program that runs and executes instructions. Think of it more as something like a convoluted database that stores an inventory of your existing hardware and software and related settings. In the early days of Windows there was a registry, but a lot of this information was stored in initialization files which were essentially straight text files with a .ini extension. These files would be scattered all over the place, and if, through a program error or just plain user error these files got destroyed or relocated, all sorts of weird things could happen. So as time went by, the registry grew both in size and complexity. It's nothing to trifle with, and it's always a good idea to back it up first before using any kind of cleaner program or, heaven forbid, using the registry editor to do any tweaking.
Another good registry cleaner that I've heard highly recommended is Registry Mechanic. It's not freeware and I don't have a link to it, but I'm sure a Google search will turn up something about it.

Hi everyone, I'm just going to throw this out there. It's often not the fault of a program. Sometimes it's better to live certain parts of the computer if you do not know much about it specially your registry. Your registry is what keeps your computer running. The registry is what executes orders for your computer when certain events occur. There are various things which could eventually slow down your PC's performance. As some of you know, if you use your computer a lot, a lot of unnecessary and unwanted information gets written to your registry. Furthermore, updating, uninstalling, or installing software on your computer will affect your computers performance over time. Registry cleaners can of course help sort some of these issues, but you should always be aware of what you are doing. If you don't have experiences with the registry, leave it alone, or ask some one who has experience. The registry is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. One mistake can cause your PC to stop working. I have seen various cases in which they didn't know what they were doing, so I had to reinstall Windows all over again. The point that I'm trying to make is that if you don't know much about the registry, please leave it alone. Always keep in mind that registry cleaners are less than perfect. There's always a chance that registry cleaners may remove needed data during the cleaning process. Leaving it alone will prevent you from unwanted headaches. However, if you really want to do it, than by all means do, but always do a registry backup, or Google it if you don't know what it is. Note that I'm not throwing it to bother anyone. For those interested in a good registry cleaner, check out the link below. It's an awesome one, but be sure to ask someone if you lack the knowledge, backup registry, or Google it before any actions. Thanks, A

Agree that CCleaner is potentially dangerous. However, You can exclude files programs and folders as well as some items in the registry. I wish FS would publish info about anything that should not be touched by a registry cleaner.
one thing I don't like about CCleaner is that it does not give enough information about the registry items it finds. I didn't find that part of the program to helpful. It's good at cleaning unwanted files but I leave the registry alone now.
Also, Despite all advice from blind users, I am unable to select items in the registry to remove with the space bar and have to use the mouse cursor instead.
Someone mentioned another program called Abexo. Interesting that download.com does not have it. I wanted to see how popular it is and what sort of reviews people have about Abexo. I found lots through a web search but don't know the sources enough to trust them.
I just tried a couple programs that supposed to clean and optimize but they were not accessible without scripting. One was System Checkup 3.3 iolo technologies, LLC 12/5/2012 The other was SlimCleaner Free

Hi Tom, Much respect to you. You could very well be correct and I could be wrong. I have always looked at the Registry as the part that keeps your computer running, and tells your computer what to do when certain events occur. I appreciate your reply.Mechanic is definitely great. I used to have it, but I no longer do. Thanks, A On 12/18/2012 11:07 PM, Tom Lange wrote:

Another good registry cleaner that I've heard highly recommended is Registry Mechanic. It's not freeware and I don't have a link to it, but I'm sure a Google search will turn up something about it.

Hi everyone, I'm just going to throw this out there. It's often not the fault of a program. Sometimes it's better to live certain parts of the computer if you do not know much about it specially your registry. Your registry is what keeps your computer running. The registry is what executes orders for your computer when certain events occur. There are various things which could eventually slow down your PC's performance. As some of you know, if you use your computer a lot, a lot of unnecessary and unwanted information gets written to your registry. Furthermore, updating, uninstalling, or installing software on your computer will affect your computers performance over time. Registry cleaners can of course help sort some of these issues, but you should always be aware of what you are doing. If you don't have experiences with the registry, leave it alone, or ask some one who has experience. The registry is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. One mistake can cause your PC to stop working. I have seen various cases in which they didn't know what they were doing, so I had to reinstall Windows all over again. The point that I'm trying to make is that if you don't know much about the registry, please leave it alone. Always keep in mind that registry cleaners are less than perfect. There's always a chance that registry cleaners may remove needed data during the cleaning process. Leaving it alone will prevent you from unwanted headaches. However, if you really want to do it, than by all means do, but always do a registry backup, or Google it if you don't know what it is. Note that I'm not throwing it to bother anyone. For those interested in a good registry cleaner, check out the link below. It's an awesome one, but be sure to ask someone if you lack the knowledge, backup registry, or Google it before any actions. Thanks, A

Also, Despite all advice from blind users, I am unable to select items in the registry to remove with the space bar and have to use the mouse cursor instead.
Someone mentioned another program called Abexo. Interesting that download.com does not have it. I wanted to see how popular it is and what sort of reviews people have about Abexo. I found lots through a web search but don't know the sources enough to trust them.
I just tried a couple programs that supposed to clean and optimize but they were not accessible without scripting. One was System Checkup 3.3 iolo technologies, LLC 12/5/2012 The other was SlimCleaner Free

Re: good registry cleaner
Hi Mike, I also use CCleaner on one of my machines. It works pretty good for the most part. I have also written to them, but no luck. However, it's mostly accessible with JAWS and other screen readers. I will be writing a message in a few minutes about Wise Disk Cleaner and Wise Registry Cleaner. Thanks, A

In my case, I turn off all the touch-enabled devices, as they drive me crazy.

Re: Problem reading capital letters using Vocaliser Samantha voice
That crash problem sounds intriguing. Eloquence is going to load whether or not you use it. Does FS have any ideas on the subject?

Re: Problem reading capital letters using Vocaliser Samantha voice
Hi Everyone,
Here's what I do for capital letters in JAWS 13, you might like it. I play a sound for capital letters. How to setup JAWS to play a sound when you type a capital letter or arrow over one. Press Insert+6 to go to setting center. Arrow down to speech and schemes. Right arrow to expand speech and sound schemes out. Go to modify schemes.. Press space bar. The dialog box that opens should have your current scheme in the focus. Tab to edit selected scheme. Press enter. Should be on general tab. Control+tab to misc tab. Arrow down to the second caps choice. Tab to the radial button and select play sound, to select the radial button arrow down. Tab to select wave file button and press enter. Select wave file to play . Pressing space bar or alt+P will play the selected wave file. Press enter when wave file you want is selected. Tab to ok and press enter. Tab to save selected scheme and press enter. Tab to ok and press enter, do this twice.

Well Jaws should be changed to switch to a different voice for capitals perhaps as a way of notifying you. Or it could just say cap T to indicate a capital letter.
Also it does seem to have pitch capability - try typing a question mark ? and the pitch definitely rises when it reads it back by character.

Hi dale..
Unfortunately that's the way it is with the vocalizer voices. They don't allow for pitch change. I love samantha, but won't use her because of this limitation.

Hi,
I have the latest version of jaws v14 and am now using the Vocaliser US Samantha High Premium voice.
Eloquence had started crashing my Windows 7 64 bit computer far too often after the latest JFW14 upgrade so I have switched to Vocaliser and no crashes anymore.
However Jaws is no longer indicating capital letters either when typing (I have read by character on for typing) or when reading text even character by character. There is no change in pitch and it doesn't say cap like it did when using eloquence.
I have made no changes except swapping over to Vocaliser voice.
Any idea what could be going wrong? Are others having a similar problem at all? Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks, Dale.

Re: How to remove jaws 13 and 14 from computer?
Aidan Maher <aidan.smarttalk@...>
Weather you do it from programs or control panel, its the same thing, I'm proud of Emma, that is so rite, choose yes if you want to remove both versions, unless if you have another product such as openbook instaled.

1. Go to start menu with Windows key or control+escape.
2. P for programs.
3. Press j until the desired version of JAWS is announced. Press enter.
4. Arrow down to Tools. Press enter.
5. Arrow up to Uninstall. Press enter.
6. Follow prompts, including the query whether you want to delete shared components.
One note to Addison Gethers. If you want to delete more than one version, I believe the safer practice is to start with the earlier version. In which case, rinse, wash, repeat!
