Hello,

Before one can answer your question I need a little more information. What version of the operating system is the computer running? Is it Windows 7 or 10?

In the Options Menu under Basic Settings, is the Check for Updates checked?

Please answer these questions and I could possibly help you a little further.

Hi, I have a question maybe someone has some advice. Back when jfw 20
21 came out, I with the help of my Dad signed up for, I think it was the next four or five updates. I haven't got any update so far. But my friend signed up for a different plan and says he's been getting all the updates for 20 21.

Hi, Curt. Under JAWS key plus J>Options>Basics, is your JAWS set to remind you of updates? This check box should be about five presses of the TAB key in Basics.

Subject: Re: Is there a substitute key, for the windows FNE key?

She can use the Jaws commands:

 

Jaws Key + Spacebar followed by V and then J - this will raise Jaws volume

Jaws Key + Spacebar followed by V and then S - this will raise system volume

Subject: Is there a substitute key, for the windows FNE key?

 

Good morning everyone, 

 

My girlfriend has a Logitech wireless  keyboard  that she uses with her HP. Laptop  computer. However, this particular keyboard, doesn’t have a windows FNE key on it where in order for her too raise the volume, she would have too press both  the FNE    key and the F7 key too increase the volume level.  My question is, is there another key that she can use too substitute for this purpose?  She’s using Jaws 2021, and the latest windows 10.

 

 

Any and all help and suggestions and advice will be much appreciated, 

 

Al

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how I go back to Windows 10? Is it something that I
can do simply using Jaws and my braille display like when I do a
Windows update, or would I need sighted assistance? Upgrading is
generally fairly easy/simple to do (though I realize that this might
not be the case for everyone) and if downgrading is the same then I'd
much rather do that then get help to uninstall and then re-install
Windows 11 because this seems far less risky and nerve-wracking. Plus
I didn't have this issue when using Windows 10 and Jaws
2022 and I know that Windows 10 will be supported for awhile longer.
Really hope
someone can help me just as you have all tried to do to fix this
issue, I really appreciate it, I just wish that someone's suggestion
had worked and then it wouldn't have had to come to this. Thanks
Madison

If it is on different lists, she has done not one thing wrong and I support her asking as many as needed to get the answers sought. Remember, your delete key is, as you all often state, your option. Is a cross is done and yuou seem to be on more than one list, again, hit your delete key. She has done nothing wrong and just because you get a second or a third identical message from all you hold membership within, you are the individual with many memberships, she has not done one thing in error within any one individual group list. Get over it and move on...

And let's all keep in mind that not everybody is an old hand at using mailing lists. I happen to know that Madison is quite young so instead of criticizing let's tell her that cross-posting or posting the same question on multiple lists at the same time without giving one list a chance to provide answers is considered bad etiquette because many of use are on the Jaws and WinAccess lists she is in any case asking the same people and she may not realize this. We are all here to either educate or be educated and it's always a good idea to give somebody the benefit of the doubt at least until they have really proven they are not able or willing to get it. I think, for example, if somebody had replied explaining how this is considered to be bad list etiquette sending it privately is even a better approach.

Whether cross-posting, or multi-posting, the end result is the same.  And the article I referenced gives a better explanation of why this has been considered "poor form" for as long as I've been participating on technical support forums or emailing lists.

And the warning the gentleman who wrote that article gives is, I can assure you, quite true.  You can and will eventually be ignored once you have a reputation for multi-posting/cross-posting.

Well, after the long off topic thread about down grading Windows 11, I’ve decided to stop dealing with the lack of moderation on this list and unsubscribe.  The JFW list is far better moderated.

Take care,

Richard
