Hi,
One way to do it is to go to your control panel. I think it is under programs. Scroll down to firefox and click on make default. You can also set it from the Fire Fox browser itself.

The Open menu under VLC should also do it. You get there by either right clicking or using the Alt Key. It gives you several options, one of which is disk. Look at that menu, choose your options, if any, then Enter on the Disk button; it should take off. You might also want to try the trick I mentioned yesterday, disabling disk menus, and going with the much simpler menu structure built into the program. You might also take it out of default, and allow Windows to ask what you want to do with the disk. That usually does it too.

Hi Mike
You get VLC to play the DVD from the open with menu option in my computer/this PC once the DVD drive is selected. Now here is what I wrote to the list regarding getting DVD’s to play. What you do is go to the menu bar and find playback. Activate that, then arrow down until you find the title sub menu open that and click on the title that you want to play. Also, don’t forget to google “VLC Media Player for windows keyboard shortcuts”

Hi All,
Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, VLC, & Jaws 16. For the life of me I can't get a movie on DVD to play with VLc. I've tried uninstalling VLC & reinstalling using the custom settings, & no go. I've set VLC as the default player, & checked the defaults select all checkbox, but when choosing Play with VLc from the context menu I can't get the DVD to start. Would y'all give me a swift kick as to how to get DVD's to play with VLC? I know this topic was discussed the other day, & I thought I had saved the notes, but apparently not! I've tried a new movie from Amazon & also 1 that had been burned for us, & I can't get either 1 to play. Thanks much. Take care.

I have used screen readers since about 1990. I have constant ear ringing, ongoing, relentless, ceaseless. With my current hearing aids, the tinnitus is reduced. As for JAWS, I have not found any specific problem with continuous use of it. Have you called Freedom Scientific, asked them if they'd ever heard of this problem in the past and if they could offer any solutions?

Re: Jaws and ear pain

You probably use the default voice, (Eloquence). You can download other voices from Freedom Scientific that may be more comfortable.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
There does not appear to be a overall pitch adjustment in Eloquence which sometimes helps with ear fatigue. Other voices may have pitch adjustment. Also, lowering the volume helps me some times. Other options would be to use different speakers, headphones, or even add a second sound device. There are some low cost USB speakers that are both powered by USB and have their own sound card. Sometimes the sound of some speakers just doesn't suit Eloquence. If possible, lower the bass and try different treble settings. You may have equalizer settings in your sound card's control panel and or tone controls on your speakers. Finally. Sometimes you just need a break. HTH. Bob

The Open menu under VLC should also do it. You get there by either right clicking or using the Alt Key. It gives you several options, one of which is disk. Look at that menu, choose your options, if any, then Enter on the Disk button; it should take off. You might also want to try the trick I mentioned yesterday, disabling disk menus, and going with the much simpler menu structure built into the program. You might also take it out of default, and allow Windows to ask what you want to do with the disk. That usually does it too.

Hi Mike
You get VLC to play the DVD from the open with menu option in my computer/this PC once the DVD drive is selected. Now here is what I wrote to the list regarding getting DVD’s to play. What you do is go to the menu bar and find playback. Activate that, then arrow down until you find the title sub menu open that and click on the title that you want to play. Also, don’t forget to google “VLC Media Player for windows keyboard shortcuts”

Hi All,
Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, VLC, & Jaws 16. For the life of me I can't get a movie on DVD to play with VLc. I've tried uninstalling VLC & reinstalling using the custom settings, & no go. I've set VLC as the default player, & checked the defaults select all checkbox, but when choosing Play with VLc from the context menu I can't get the DVD to start. Would y'all give me a swift kick as to how to get DVD's to play with VLC? I know this topic was discussed the other day, & I thought I had saved the notes, but apparently not! I've tried a new movie from Amazon & also 1 that had been burned for us, & I can't get either 1 to play. Thanks much. Take care.

Re: firefox
I have found JAWS seems to work much smoother with FireFo. I only use Internet Explorer as a back up browser. I have Chrome too for back up, and seems a lot smoother than IE.

I’m thinking that is a subjective question.
I’m sure you will get several answers so here’s mine.
I use both, IE and firefox but not chrome. Never really cared for chrome honestly. Firefox, I just use it for the capcha which is free and I’m aware of the rumola thing but I’m cheap. Internet explorer has what brought me to the dance so I will say for me at least jaws works well.

I have Firefox installed on my computer. Is it better with jaws for internet access than chrome? Judith
