Sorry, the "full" "run command" line was: c:\j17.0.1377enu-x64.exe /type repair I was just so concerned about spelling the version number correctly, I forgot the rest of the line. Jim H

That’s how we did it back when.  Thanks, Tony.  That’s a feature of DOS I’ve missed.  Do the old switches still work?

Run CHKDSK in a DOS prompt and the output will stay on the screen

Press the Windows key, type cmd, press enter.

This will give a prompt that is something like

C:\Tony>

Type CHKDSK and press enter

After you view the results, press EXIT to close the window.

True, but you run the risk of the hidden update getting unhidden if automatic updates run. I have found that turning off the option to "get recommended updates the same way as important updates" is helpful.

The method I described maintains automatic updates after a single operation. It also saves having to download another piece of software. It is about as easy as it gets.

I will second the vote for using GWX Control Panel, whether as a portable standalone program or as in installed program.  Here's the User Guide.  I believe the installed version does ongoing active monitoring whereas the standalone version will require you to re-run it every time another GWX installation occurs through Windows Update.

The gentleman who created GWX Control Panel has been pretty assiduous, and quite fast, at picking up the various Windows Update KB numbers that need to be blocked to keep GWX [Get Windows X (Ten)] from installing.  It's not that the manual technique of uninstalling various specific KB number updates doesn't work, but you have to keep up on them and Microsoft keeps bundling GWX in different updates.  In addition, turning off automatic updates can be problematic in its own right, and with GWX Control Panel you can avoid having to do that.

Hello I am checking to see if anyone has experience with, “Softphones” such as Zoiper?”

 Related to this, does anyone have experience with Google Voice and/or Google Hangouts with JAWS.  Freedom Scientific just waved its hand when I inquired about this.  I recently set up a Google Voice number for a client who needs a temporary second phone number during an internship.  However, we've found no way to answer calls using JAWS on the computer.  I believe we'll end up using the Hangouts app for iPhone, but I'd love to have a method to work with regular Hangouts on the PC.

Thanks for the info. It is about 84 degrees and sunny here in the Virgin Islands. Been there, done that. No more!

Subject: Re: Word 2013 formatting.

HH,

          I use Legacy form fields rather than Active X ones when designing forms.  That being said, if absolute immobility of items relative to one another matters, text boxes are a far easier way to get that result than form fields, though one can use those with some effort.  A check-writing template is probably best accomplished with text boxes if ease of creation is a major consideration.

          I recently had a client who was enrolled in a program that required her to fill out client information forms, all of which were MS-Word documents, but none of which utilized true form fields, and were thus completely inaccessible.  I whipped up the same forms using form fields with descriptive text and help text for each field (most of which she'd probably never need, but) so that she could either fill the form out herself or be able to easily zoom through one filled out by someone else to find exactly the piece of information she was looking for.

Brian, off to tutor yet again (and at least I'm a day ahead of the "Great Storm" - we're set for a possible 18-24 plus inches of the white stuff)
