Loyre: Until the upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8, you had to pay for each new version of DOS or Windows. In addition, you needed a new key for each version as well. If you upgraded from

Bill: A good example is the setting to change the network profile from public to private. Dave

I always wondered what happened to Artic. I got my first Windows computer in 1994. It had OpenBook with an Arkenstone scanner, and Artic Vission was my screen reader. As I recall, I could never

People come on, do you really think NVDA or any other screen reader will recommend another one? As for Narrator, I still can’t get it to work without it not using any terminology close to the left

I used the echo synthesizer.

Well it's not behind their backs. I have brought it up on a NVDA list where maintainers monitor and post and they all demonstrated no interest in including Jaws shortcuts as a selection, and state

I work with and teach dolphin, NaRrator, JAWS, NVDA, and ChromeVox. I just want to point out that most maintainers of NVDA are screenreader users. You may disagree with how they set up the system and

I too always thought XP was the bestWindows. Were all the Windows upgrades paid upgrades? It seems like they were, until Win10.

Soronel: I cannot stand the ribbons Microsoft has designed. For some illogical reason, I cannot get to grips with them, probably, it is because I am a linear person, which is why I prefer

Ceigard: I'm sorry, I cannot agree with you. With windows 10 I have had icons disappear from my desktop without warbing and for no reason, JAWS stops speaking for periods from a few seconds to almost

Glen: It always was a failure of MS, ever since the first version of DOS. In the late 1980's, I had a Sinclair QL computer,unlike MS, before copying or moving a file or files to a microdrive, it

Back then, there's really a lot of screen readers. Back then, Dos was the foundation of a lot of OS, in simple, command line was the foundation of a lot of OS. You want to load drivers, you need to

Curtis, thanks very much this worked!

- If what's been offered does not work, another option is just forwarding the message you wanted to attach. That's generally what I do, anyway, and in the message that references it I say something

Yeah, as I believe we discussed before, when I tried to use ORCA on an old system some years back, it was crashing constantly, so my Linux adventure was a bit short-lived. However I'd go back to it if

Kevin: I do this in Outlook, so if you’re using something else, my instructions may not work. Focus on the message you want to attached without opening it. Copy this to the clipboard with

Hello, I’m using the most recent versions of windows10, office2016 and Jaws2021. I need to reply to an email and attach another one. On the internet I only found instructions of doing a drag and

I very much prefer menus because it is so much easier to discover the entire set of options a program exposes through them. Ribbons are not necessarily linear (items can be grouped into blocks instead

That is what I like about Linux, especially Ubuntu Mate, Linux still use pull-down menus and almost all the keyboard shortcuts are the same. I use Orca screenreader with Eloquence by another name, in

I sort of get that. I guess XP's file explorer didn’t' have a ribbon (I barely remember, honestly) and some people don't like those. But I barely use menus directly, instead using keyboard commands
