Hi everyone,
I have been using BitDefender for Mac on my iMac for a couple of years now. It is quite accessible with VoiceOver. I had an opportunity to upgrade to BitDefender Total Security which allowed me to install BitDefender on up to 5 machines. I installed it on my Windows 10 desktop, a Lenovo, All-in-one with touch screen.
I am not able to do anything in BitDefender. JAWS will read nothing. I had to use Be My Eyes just to be able to install it. I can right-click on a file or folder, and choose to scan with BitDefender, but the "Context menu Scan Results" are totally inaccessible. I cannot read any of the results. In addition, a BitDefender update window popped up, and again, I was not able to access the window in order to install the update. I tried NVDA, System Access, and Narrator, all with the same results.
Has anyone had any luck getting BitDefender to work with a screen reader in the Windows 10 environment? If not, I will be downgrading my subscription to just the version for the Mac, and will use Windows Defender on my Windows machine.
I am using the latest version of JAWS 2022 and Windows 10, Pro.
Thanks,
Russell

Hi  JM Casey

I was asking you if I ask my sister  to give me  the  m.facebook.com  website   address  links  to see if it is a new version  from her Smartphone   !! Well she did send me the  m.facebook.com   so I check it out  and find out it’s still the old version  !!

Well I like the notification page  better  than regular facebook  and  mbasic.facebook.com   website so I will have to get to used to  mbasic.facebook.com  website

Addison

Hi.

Not sure I really understood the question. It shouldn’t’ make a difference where you copy the address from. You have three options:

Mbasic.facebook.com – most stripped down version of facebook web available. Lacks many features, and many others are only half working. Facebook will not fix it.

M.facebook.com – I guess it still works somewhat, not sure, haven’t tried it in a while – a bit less stripped down nowadays but still static compared with

www.facebook.com – the full facebook web experience. Not necessarily pleasant to use, but should be workable with your modern screen-reader.

There’s also an app for mobile users. It’s huge for some reason and I don’t want it on my phone, so I have never messed with it. I do use the messenger phone app, but put it to sleep recently as it seemed to be sucking up battery life even when not in use.

JM Casey

If I can go  on my sister  smart ,pbo;e  phone  , Can  m.facebook.com  working can I get the website address bar link of it to put on computer . Will rthat works S?

Addison

There is no new version.

There is mbasic.facebook.com, which is even more stripped down, and it is also somewhat broken.

Facebook has no interest in maintaining this stuff. Best you can do is file a report that something is not working.

Funny that the disability suppot person mentioned google, too. Do they think google owns facebook now?

I have jaws2021  desktop and laptop windows10 , I have the old version  of  m.facebook.com

Hi Addison,

The link that you previously have, is no longer working since it is an older version of facebok homepage anbd google does not support it anymore, so I went to change the whole URL to the new onesm and saved it on your bookmarks as m.facebook.com. You can now try to see if it works.

Does anyone know the new version  of  m.facebook.com  ?

Addison

I would be very interested in knowing how to set it up so documents do not open in protected view.

Thanks!

Hello Claudia:

There is a marked difference between PDF documents as opposed to Word or Excel files. With regard to the latter two types of files, you can unprotect these files after they are opened in protected view. There is a way to set Word and Excel up so that these files do not open in protected view. If you want those details, let us know.

As for PDF files, you can set security up in Adobe Acrobat so that Protected View is not used. However, to be realistic, I can’t recommend a specific solution unless I can get a sample of one of those protected documents—something which your employer would not allow.

Sorry.

Kindly,

Hi,

I am using the latest version of JFW annual with Windows 11.

My job protects all documents, so every time I open a Word, PDF, Powerpoint, Excel file, protection is enabled.

There is somewhere on the screen to disable all features.

I need to do this, in particular, with PDF files.

If I can’t disable protection in order to convert my file from PDF to Word, can I use Jaw’s OCR feature to read the document?

If so, how do I do this?

On my previous job, Jaws would automatically ask me if I wanted this to be done.

Or will it not OCR the document, since the PDF is most likely accessible, once I enable all features?

Thanks.

Claudia

Greetings:

The steps below will prevent Word, Excel, and PowerPoint from opening attachments in “protected” view. You only have to do these steps once for each program. If you don’t care much about spreadsheets or slides, then you can just do the steps below for Microsoft Word.

Microsoft Word Procedure

1. Open Word into a blank document.
2. Press Alt with F followed by the letter t to go into the Word Options menu.
3. Press down arrow about ten times until you hear JAWS say Trust Center.
4. Shift Tab three times to land on Trust Center Settings and then press Enter to open up Trust Center Settings.
5. Now, press the Down Arrow key to get to Protected View and start tabbing. Here, you will find three checkboxes. Tab to each checkbox and uncheck the box by pressing Space.
6. Tab to and press Enter on the OK Button. Then, press Escape.

That’s all there is to it for Microsoft Word. If you don’t need to worry about spreadsheets or PowerPoint slides that are emailed to you as attachments, you can ignore the rest of this.

Microsoft Excel Procedure

1. Open Excel into a blank document.
2. Press Alt with F followed by the letter t to go into the Excel Options menu.
3. Press down arrow about twelve times until you hear JAWS say Trust Center.
4. Shift Tab three times to land on Trust Center Settings and then press Enter to open up Trust Center Settings.
5. Now, press the Up Arrow key to get to Protected View and start tabbing. Here, you will find five checkboxes. Tab to each checkbox and uncheck the box by pressing Space.
6. Finally, Tab to and press Enter on the OK Button. Then, press Escape.

That’s it for Excel.

PowerPoint Procedure

1. Open PowerPoint into a blank slide.
2. Press Alt with F followed by the letter t to go into the PowerPoint Options menu.
3. Press down arrow about ten times until you hear JAWS say Trust Center.
4. Shift Tab three times to land on Trust Center Settings and then press Enter to open up Trust Center Settings.
5. Now, press the Down Arrow key to get to Protected View and start tabbing. Here, you will find three checkboxes. Tab to each checkbox and uncheck the box by pressing Space.
6. Finally, Tab to and press Enter on the OK Button. Then, press Escape.

That’s it for Excel.

All done.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

If an apps are pinned to your task bar they will be in an order. You should press windows key plus T to go to the task bar and then use your right arrow to go through them in order. I just looked at my task bar and Word is in the third position. I can launch Word from anywhere by pressing windows key plus 3. You should only pin those items you use most frequently since you can only use numbers 1 through 9. I have Word, Chrome, and Out look pinned to my task bar. Quite often your computer comes with apps already pinned to the task bar. If you don’t want those apps on the task bar you can unpin them. To do this go to your task bar and find the app you want to unpin. Press your application key or shift f10 and arrow down until you find “unpin” and press enter. That will change the number of all the apps that are pinned after it. I gave the example that Word is Windows 3 so if I unpin the app that is in the second position Word will move to that position and I will use windows key 2. I am sure this explanation is confusing so if you want to talk instead of emailing you can send me an email at marianne@....  

I have also wondered what the advantages of are in pinning apps to the taskbar?

At work, they recommend that we do this, but what is the difference in pinning them there and pinning them to your Start menu?

Thanks.

Claudia

Hi, Rosie. Just put whatever you have on your desktop on the Task Bar instead, then delete the icons that are on your desktop.

I keep my desktop as clean as possible. It helps my machine load faster. I pin apps to my task bar.

For copying a partition, I find the DD command in Linux the easiest.

Hi John!
I agree that diskpart is very good, I use it for things that disk
management can't do, but it is almost just as anemic as disk management
is in some areas, copying or moving partitions in particular, and that
is what I need to do or I'd use either one of Microsoft's tools.
