Re: Firefox 102
Chris Hill
Not the same as firefox at all. This is actually the first major problem I've had with firefox in several years of use. Its main advantages are: easier to get to my bookmarks, menu interface more like windows and less like a dog's breakfast, and the facebook container plug-in, which is nice for keeping facebook from knowing every website you visit on the web. If I had to use a chromium browser full-time, I'd use brave as much as I could. I do use chrome for a few things, but they can't fix a poor design.

Hi Amir,
If you are open to talking on the phone, I’ll help you. It is not as difficult as you may believe.
I am not sure where you are located so the two opportunities below to call.
I’ll watch for your call.

That is a very broad question. If you have never created a spreadsheet before, I recommend listening to a couple webinars from Freedom Scientific on the topic. Here is one I found on the webinar page: https://www.freedomscientific.com/webinars/excel-tips-and-trick-for-jaws-users/
After that, we can help with issues.

Hi again, Eileen. What I might suggest is that, when you get the notification of the latest FS podcast in JAWS, instead of clicking the play button, go to the FS podcast archives, find the latest episode, click the link, find the link inside, and right click it to download. If the file is sitting in your Downloads folder, and you press ENTER on the file to play it, it may play all the way through without any problems.

Hi Curtis,
Haha, I don’t think I’ll wait on MS for a repair. You seem to be indicating that Media Player is the cause of the problem I’ve been having. What exactly is VLC Player? I should have stated in my previous message that I primarily am using MS Edge these days. I am not married to Media Player just want to find a reliable solution.
Thanks.

Hello All,
I updated my Jaws a few days ago and as usual, this morning when I turned on the computer I got the dialog from Jaws that the FS Cast for June was available to listen to. As always I clicked on the listen now option and it began playing in Windows Media Player. I am using the most recent version of Jaws on a Windows 11 desktop that I got last December.
The problem is and has been for months on this new computer that mid-way through the playing it just bombs out. The only message that is shown says something like, “Windows Media Player has encounter a problem with the file.” I did call FS tech support this afternoon and they recommended going to the Freedom Scientific web site and trying to play the FS Cast in my browser’s pod cast player. I have yet to give this a try only because its time consuming and I haven’t had time today to spend another half hour fiddling around trying to get it to play through to the end. Has anyone else encountered this problem and any thoughts on if just playing in the browser’s podcast player will be the fix? I know on my old Windows 10 computer I always could listen to the entire thing using Media Player. Not sure what the problem is now that could cause this.
Thanks for any input on this.

Have you tried to stop JAWS after your startup has finished and then restarting again? I'd be curious to know if you then get the update window. There is some possibility that at startup, JAWS is trying to get to the information but cannot because the Internet connection is not yet fully active. Just a thought. Best regards, Curtis Chong

Re: I no longer get that pop up update jaws window when my jaws first starts up asking me if I want to update to a newer release of jaws 2022

Hello back,

Thanks for all the helpful replies. But as I was mentioning earlier, even though I am still using the October or November 2021 release of jaws 2022, I am no longer getting that automatic pop up window when my jaws first starts up asking me if I want to yes or no update my jaws to a newer release of jaws 2022? I was until about 3 or 4 days ago getting this automatic pop up window asking me if I yes or no wanted to update my jaws every time when my jaws first started up, but now I am not. This has got me stumped because as I was saying, I am still using the last October or November 2021 release of jaws 2022. I have already checked in jaws under basics, and the automatic notification of jaws updates is yes checked. I am really hoping that maybe someone has an idea on how I can get back this automatic pop up window asking me if I want to yes or no update my jaws to a newer release of jaws 2022 when my jaws first starts up? Would be very, very appreciative for any help on this matter. Much, much thanks in advance for any possible help on this. With kindest regards, Hank

Re: Issue With Getting The FS Cast to Play.
Bill White
Hi again, Eileen. What I might suggest is that, when you get the notification of the latest FS podcast in JAWS, instead of clicking the play button, go to the FS podcast archives, find the latest episode, click the link, find the link inside, and right click it to download. If the file is sitting in your Downloads folder, and you press ENTER on the file to play it, it may play all the way through without any problems.

Hi Curtis,
Haha, I don’t think I’ll wait on MS for a repair. You seem to be indicating that Media Player is the cause of the problem I’ve been having. What exactly is VLC Player? I should have stated in my previous message that I primarily am using MS Edge these days. I am not married to Media Player just want to find a reliable solution.
Thanks.

If you want to stick with Media Player, then you would be best served by working with Microsoft to fix the problem. I myself only use Media Player when I do not any other choice. For me, VLC Media Player works just fine. There will be a learning curve for VLC, however, so be forewarned.

Hello All,
I updated my Jaws a few days ago and as usual, this morning when I turned on the computer I got the dialog from Jaws that the FS Cast for June was available to listen to. As always I clicked on the listen now option and it began playing in Windows Media Player. I am using the most recent version of Jaws on a Windows 11 desktop that I got last December.
The problem is and has been for months on this new computer that mid-way through the playing it just bombs out. The only message that is shown says something like, “Windows Media Player has encounter a problem with the file.” I did call FS tech support this afternoon and they recommended going to the Freedom Scientific web site and trying to play the FS Cast in my browser’s pod cast player. I have yet to give this a try only because its time consuming and I haven’t had time today to spend another half hour fiddling around trying to get it to play through to the end. Has anyone else encountered this problem and any thoughts on if just playing in the browser’s podcast player will be the fix? I know on my old Windows 10 computer I always could listen to the entire thing using Media Player. Not sure what the problem is now that could cause this.
Thanks for any input on this.

Re: Issue With Getting The FS Cast to Play.

Eileen,
I thought I’d drop in to simply say that this is not a Media Player problem. I do not have problems and I prefer MS Media Player. Also, when streaming bits as these FS podcasts are streamed, it is commonly the host you use where you either have not enough bandwidth or your down stream / download connection is the problem with not being enough to keep the show in play. If Jaws is freezing up, it is the TTS software but with my pc, I’m still using Windows 11 with the latest Jaws version. I often do switch back to 2019 version when I am using zoom, for example, and never have a problem but often I do have issues with the current. Sometimes you can try different versions and figure out which is working best for whatever program you are using. Regarding the FS podcast and Media Player, I truly do not believe it is Media Player since I use exactly what you have and without any problems.
Good luck,
Rick
