Re: Where'd I go wrong with JAWS 2021?
Shirley Tracy
Thanks, Tom. JAWS 2021 is running now, but I have no idea what happened. I had forgotten the steps for starting it with the run command. Thanks for refreshing my memory. And all is well. At least I’ll know what to do if it happens again.
Cheerfully,

Re: downloading Adobe Reader

Hi Tom,
There’s a box you have to uncheck. It’s been so long ago that I downloaded it, I forgot exactly where—but it’s there, part of the choices they offer you in the download, I think.

Hi,
Using: Jaws 2021 and W10 20H2 64 bit.
I have been attempting to download and install Adobe Reader from the site but each time it attempts to also download the McAfee anti virus program which is not wanted.
Any ideas how Adobe Reader can be had without the anti virus program?
Thanks

Where'd I go wrong with JAWS 2021?
Shirley Tracy
Hi Everyone,
I downloaded JAWS 2021 from the link on the website several days ago. It’s on my desktop. And I thought it was working fine. Suddenly, I just happened to see that I’m running 2020 and not 2021. And when I click on 2021, it simply throws me back into 2020. Where’d I go wrong? How to fix?
Help!

missing settings
Don H
Running Jaws 2021 on a win 10 20h2 system. When I installed jaws 2021 I migrated my settings from version 2020.
I just did a tadem with another user that was trying to help make a setting change and we discovered that his settings and my settings are not the same. Seems that my copy is missing some categories or options to work with. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Re: Markdown editor with Jaws?
Hi Jason,

After poking around a bit, I think I will just pay for the writage. It is so much simpler than any other options I've found so far, runs pretty much invisibly inside of word, etc. So it's probably worth the one time purchase cost. Thanks for your suggestion, though. I appreciate it. ~Ann

Hi, Don. This is just another instance of the dreaded JAWS Lost Focus problem that has plagued us for a long time, and just keeps getting worse. If you want to at least know what is going on,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
1. Start the JAWS Basic Options. 2. Press JAWS key plus V to go into Quick Settings. 3. Either type the word focus into the search box, or 4. Go down to General Options, and check the Focus Loss option. Bill White billwhite92701@dslextreme.com

One way is if you find the shortcut on your c drive, press the applications key, or shift+f10 and arrow to send to, then choose desktop.

Using narrator to set up a Win 10 computer
G. Gray
Greetings All-
OK thanks to many on
this list I got my H.P. computer up and connected to the net and
installed JAWS and NVDA...and things went well.
Looks like 'This PC' is what was 'my computer' on my Win 7 desktop. I don't see or understand how to move a shortcut for 'This PC' to the desktop.
Honestly why Microsoft has to change names, etc. is beyond me. I live by these seven words..."If it ain't broke, don't fix it." So if you can enlighten me on how to do this, I'd appreciate it...that would be great. Thanks...

Re: requesting money pay pal
Adrian Spratt
I had my first problem getting to the payment field with PayPal a week ago. Using Edge, I eventually managed to get there, though I didn’t remember how. Another lister (I wish I could remember whom) suggested going to the first edit field, then tabbing from there. That way he got to the payment field without a problem. I’ll be trying that next time. It sounds right. I’ve found this very same solution works on another website (WordPress).
I haven’t used Firefox in years and hope never to return to it.
