Re: [Bulk] [Bulk] yet another problem with JAWS
Terra Syslo <tlsyslo@...>
Hi, I have JFW 11 installed on this machine also. I didn't uninstall it,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
just JFW 12, and tried to go back to the previous version of JFW 12 before the latest update, but that's when I ran into the problem of it not reading anything in internet explorer. I had no idea it would be so complicated to just go back to a previous version. Had I known the latest version didn't work correctly with flash content, I never would have updated in the first place.

Re: [Bulk] IE 9 question
Dave...
It doesn't say anything, you say? I guess you meant it doesn't say "64 bit".
Aside from the grammar that you acknowledge, I suspect they are both one and the same. Just press Alt+Enter on each one and you'll see the underlying command to launch. I suspect each are the same. If they are, then delete whichever one offends you.

as far as I know, one is 32-bit, the one that just says "internet explorer" on your system.

Well, sorry. I was not precise.

The one shortcut icon, It says Internet Explorer. And the other one, it further says, Internet Explorer (64-bit). I imagined at first that I may have gotten the two icons when I upgraded to version nine, which was several months ago. But actually when you open the program via either startup icon, you are opening version 9 of the application. Thanks. Rik

Re: [Bulk] labs.google

I went to this link. And the top of the page, it says Google Labs was being phased out.

I don't really know what the Labs thing was even. But I was curious and went and looked. There was a ton of other things on the page that Google had and I did not check them out. So if you would not mind, what is or was Google Labs? I assume it is not pictures of dogs. <g> Thanks. Rik

Re: Update for Windows Live Essentials

I also did the update this morning.

So far I have not seen any issues relating to JAWS. My About says I now have Windows Live Mail version 2011 (Build 15.4.3538.0513) The only thing that happened to me was that the update changed the Start Menu where programs were listed. It took me awhile to find Windows Live Mail. But it was there. My update took about 15 minutes and a Restart was required. I suppose there must be a web page that lists what all was in the update. If someone has already taken the time to find it, and would post the link, I thank him or her in advance! Thanks. Rik

Re: [Bulk] JAWS Key/Insert + F11 and F12 Not speaking

Make sure that your system tray is enabled. I don't have Win 7 yet, but in
XP you can open properties of the taskbar by using Alt+Enter when on it. The items in that dialog called "Notification Area" pertain to the system tray. Also in that dialog you can see if the taskbar is positioned appropriately. Again this is XP; perhaps similar in Win 7.

Re: Method to the FS Madness
Dave...
Ed,
Good detective work, and yes it makes sense how these keystrokes could change based on the state of virtual cursor. Now the question still remains: If I was on the web page and in virtual mode and there was a graphic I wanted to auto-label (sorry for the run-on) -- how would I do it? I guess I'd have to route JAWS to the virtual cursor first, and then invoke the auto-graphic label function. I think the snakes of Freedom Medusa's hair are becoming more entangled, as FS tries to accommodate every situation to a keystroke. There are an infinite number of elements one could wish to have controlled by a keystroke, but a finite number of keystrokes possible with only 8 fingers and two thumbs. And only a few modifier keys on a standard keyboard. From my perspective, and from the perspective of still being royally tickedwith FS's debacle with Excel, I would greatly appreciate them not taking away key combinations in the interest of creating new ones. FS -- are you reading? Get some hair-straightener and design consistent code.
