Re: Microsoft notifications
Rick Mladek
Randy,
I now truly believe my pc has gremlins hidden within.
Yesterday, while at work and on this desk top pc running windows 10 and jaws 2019. I could be closing any Microsoft application, including internet explorer, outlook, word and ExCell, when I would close the program, I would hear “new notification”. I could not find any notification with either cursor, jaws/pc/touch cursors.
Today, I turn on my pc and have forgotten about this, opening and closing various programs previously mentioned. Until I find your message here in Outlook, I had forgotten about this issue experienced all day yesterday. I began opening and closing these various troubled programs and nothing. No more “new notification” alerts.
So, the gremlins are sleeping in obvously and the problem has mysteriously moved on.
Thanks for the note and if this returns, I’ll be back hoping to find a resolution.

Hi Rick, sorry to hear you're still having all kinds of trouble. Although I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say maybe can we freeze it? :-) Randy Barnett owner of soundtique
Hi all,
Since I did that jaws repair, I have so many things different. One of the newest, as I close any Microsoft program, word, xcell or any browser, even firefox... I get some sort of notification that you cannot alt F4 to close, you just alt tab to another item open on the task bar and it disappears. I am not even able to know what is being said. So, how do I turn off these notifications? Within basic of jaws options, menu and control help is off and access key is also off.
Thanks for putting up with me... uhg!

Okay, thanks to somebody on another list, here's a link to a Drop Box folder that contains the installer for the complete suite of KitchensInc games for Windows 10.?? I installed them on my Windows 10 PC, and they work!:

JAWS 19 installation on windows 10
ARORA Meesha
Hello all, I have recently joined this group and find the information shared very informative. Hope someone can help me with the below query… I am trying to install JAWS 19 in my laptop with Windows home” basic after uninstalling JAWS 2018. The problem is JAWS is silent on various items on the PC like – on the start menu, it only speaks “Cortana” and nothing else. Then it is silent when I open system settings folder or open the option to connect to a network. I have already performed the full recovery couple of times however the problem persists. Has anybody faced a similar issue? I would really appreciate any insights to resolve this. Many thanks Meesha Arora

So, while I’m not 100% certain/wouldn't bank a ton of money on it, I'm willing to suppose that if you have something that works in Windows 7, you should be able to get it to work with 10 also. Windows is pretty downward compatible in general. I know some people have had trouble with games using directx, but even then, a little searching on the internet will usually provide all the components you need. The games are all right; not too stimulating to me for the most part, but the baseball game is ... oddly relaxing.

Sure. They work ok, except for the Battleship game, which I never got going because it crashes with an error when trying to set up the board, at least, on my machine.

OneNote 2013 with JAWS 2019 Questions
Walker, Michael E
Hi,
What is the fastest way I can get up and running reading OneNote documents with OneNote 2013 and JAWS 2019? The context for this question is that when I am at work, the teammate doing knowledge transfer with me pulls up a OneNote with the information. I am trying to help him understand JAWS. He thinks that if I just play with OneNote, I will learn it, but I also explained that there can be accessibility commands, depending on the app I am using, and “jumping in” can be a learning curve of its own. I do not have a lot of time to look at documentation for how to use OneNote or other programs, while he is just wanting me to be able to look at content within the program. I do not need to edit the OneNote either. I just need to be able to read it. What tips do you have for getting started?
Thank you, Mike
