Re: Driver update utility which is useable with JAWS
Gene Stevens
Ok... it's been a while since I used Windows 7. So tell me how you get that it is using the FS driver as the quote default display driver?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I can't remember the Windows 7 device manager well enough to be sure but on Windows 10 doesn't have a 1uote default driver that I can find. It simply lists the FS driver and the driver for the video hardware currently in use.

Re: On Line Bankingg Update
Kevin Hourigan <kevinthourigan@...>
Hello Shannon, I wrote to the help line on the site, first I received an instruction to insure I pressed the confirmation button. Then I replied that it was not coming up and that I was using a screen reader. I was told that the issue was probably particular to my software, and was left to my own devices, so I wrote to the technical help address on the site, and during our email exchange I offered to come into the branch laptop in tow. Actually all I really needed was sighted assistance to report the account selection box that JAWS did not. The best advice I could give after this is to use the insert control and L for list, T for table, B for button etc., And sadly, sighted assistance when you are stuck. Cheers Kevin.

Thanks Melissa. Because my sister gave me the computer on loan, and it had to be reserected twice from the blue screen, my first thought was it’s died. Not a good thing when you have a remote scheduled in 9 hours and it all happens in the wee hours of the morning, think I have to cut back on the coffee. LOL.

Can I separate the arrow keys from the number pad?
Shannon
Hello, I would like to know if I can separate the arrow keys from the number pad? I want the PC curser and the virtual pc curser to use the inverted T arrow keys and have the various JAWS curser, Invisible curser, and the Touch curser to use the number pad keys. Can I do that and if so how do I do it? Thanks Shannon

Re: Speeding up the JAWS starting time?

There are times when Windows is busy cleaning up some mess or finishing updates that take longer than expected.
My old machine was taking 4 minutes to jaws speech. It was not a slow machine but had been running for two years without much in the way of cleanup. I installed a SSD and the boot time dropped to24 seconds without making any other changes.
My new Xeon Win 10machine with a faster SSD and more RAM takes twice as long to boot. So much for progress.

I did look in Device Manager! And yes, both drivers are listed. And by the way, when I downloaded and installed the updates from Microsoft, included among them was a specific driver for the particular model of the toshiba laptop but, despite downloading and installing the updated driver, Windows has chosen to keep the Freedom Scientific Mirror Driver as the default graphics driver. Yes, the monitor does work! Thank you for your suggestions. Sincerely: Dave durber

Hello Hermin:
I have already been to the particular driver
download page for the Toshiba laptop. However, there are at least half a dozen
display drivers listed for that particular laptop. Given that there are so many,
which one do you choose because, if you download the rong one, you could cause
software conflichs with the graphics/video adapter or worse.
Thank you for the tip anyway!

Re: Driver update utility which is useable with JAWS

Hi dave,
rather than using third party utilities to get the job done, i’d go for the
manufacturer’s website to find drivers for said laptop model.
I am sure Toshiba’s site will have a service and download part where you
can enter model numbers to get the latest software for your model.

Well, I've noticed it takes Jaws a lot longer to generate speech than was the case even in recent times. I sometimes load Jaws with a shortcut key, and this is where I notice the delay. I'd say it takes at least 10 seconds before I hear speech.

I have the latest version of Skype, the auto update gave me a new version a few days ago. I am running JAWS 17, latest version, and Windows 10 with all the latest updates.
I have an important Skype call coming up as soon as Friday, and I was wondering if there is a JAWS accessible way of recording the call, including the video of the other participants, and play it back? If there is a non-accessible way that involves a sighted person clicking something, please let me know that as well and I will make the necessary arrangements to have someone here to do that. Lastly, can I set up Skype to record all calls without me having to manually start each time? Please advise, and much thanks.
