MS Outlook 2010 and latest Jaws 2018
Jim L
Heya folks,
The world is a strange place when an update fixes one thing and causes other quirky things to happen in my MS Outlook 2010, if anybody else is running this outlook are you unable to hear how many emails and unread messages with the Jaws key and numpad 3 any more since this new 2018 update? Also my top and bottom sound is gone even though its enabled.
The one thing it did fix though was the OCR scan thing but I always had Kurzwell doing that for me anyway so this Jaws key/numpad 3 not giving me email info now is truly annoying, so anyone else have this problem?
Cheers,
Jim

Re: accessible software for creating and restoring system image
Steve Sweeney
Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I had the same problem. I tried just about every package out there and found nothing jaws will work with. When I asked tech support, they just said jaws didn't support any software to backup or image or clone hard drives??? I thought that was a basic function of all PC users but apparently jaws does not:-( -Steve

Some people say Windows Backup works, but I cannot verify it. I can, however, heartily recommend, with verification, the following:

Re: Has anybody had experience with Teamviewer?
Steve Matzura
The best thing to use with the screenreader user being the support person and the non-screenreader user receiving said support is NVDA's Remote Assistance add-on. The non-screenreader user can start NVDA and get into the Remote Support add-on with proper instruction, then the support provider can terminate the remote copy of NVDA when the session is over.

Hi,
So I’ve just done a new install of windows 10, but I usually use the key combination of alt and tab to cycle through the list of running programs on my PC, but now for some reason when I tab like this it only tabs through the two most currently used programs and ignores anything else I have open. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do to fix this?

Chrome now works in J2018
Stan Holdeman
Starting in late November Chrome stopped working with J2018. Jaws simply would not focus on any web content. All still worked fine in J18.
After repairs, re-installs, updates and several sessions with VFO tech support, I finally gave up and used J18 only.
I am pleased to report that after installing most recent update, J2018 works fine in Chrome.
In the event any others had this problem, I urge you to install latest 2018 update.

Procedure to Enable or Disable Fast Startup in Windows 10 Enabling or disabling this feature is quite easy and if we count the numbers, you just need 4-5 steps to do this. Just follow the below listed procedure. • Open your Control Panel. Look for Control Panel in start menu. • Now in Control Panel look for Power Options. • Look for an option that reads Choose what the power button does and click it. This will open up a new Window and here you can see more options. • Now look for the check box with text Turn on fast startup. • Check it if you want Fast startup enabled and uncheck it if you don’t want it enabled. This is as easy as this. So, you just have to follow these options in order to Enable or Disable Fast Startup in Windows 10.

Visually the desktop comes up almost right away after I put in my PIN, maybe 5 seconds, I guess the rest is Jaws loading up. Regards, Sieghard
