Tom Behler
Thanks, Mike.
I actually did it via Brian’s instructions, but these instructions are a good second choice.
Will save for future reference, since it’s always good to have multiple ways of doing something like this in case one does not work.

Re: Cisco IP Communicator?
Michael Mote
Hi James! I have limited experience using Cisco IP Communicator just like you. In my experience though, I have had to use another application in conjunction with communicator to make it work. In the menus, you can set up things like audio settings, but after that, it’s virtually useless for a screen reader user. I’ve been told that the Cisco IP communicator looks very much like a desk phone. In order for us to use it, we need another application like the cisco Desktop agent to make things work. I hope I’m helping you with this.

That can be typical on some websites when switching back and forth between browsers. I have all of my students make sure that they have at least two browsers installed.

Hello list,
Until now, I was using IE11 with the BestBuy Canada web site. I just made a purchase using Firefox. The link to get to the shopping cart is labeled differently in FireFox then from what it is in IE11.
In Ie11, Jaws announces the second link after the search box as: link cart
In FireFox, Jaws announces the same link as: link GG 1
I also noticed that Jaws announces the first link differently in Ie11 from FireFox. That first link after the search box is the submit search link.
In FireFox, refreshing the screen does not change anything.
I thought that the screen reader used the alt text field in the HTML code. Why does Jaws announce differently the same link in the same web page in IE11 from Firefox?
Can anyone explain what is happening? Thank you.

How To Set A Particular Web Page As Your Default Web Page In Internet Explorer
Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.
Due to some recent computer issues here, I had to take internet Explorer 11 back to its default settings.
I would like to make a certain web page my default web page when Internet Explorer is launched.
How do I do this in Internet Explorer 11?
I’m using Windows 7 and Jaws 18 here.

New Scouting Report on Silverlight Instability
Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
Some of you may remember this thread from several months ago. Brian, one or two others, and I were discussing the problem. First, it still crashes. However, properly handled, recovery won’t necessarily involve rebooting, saving time, aggravation, and wear-and-tear on your hardware and OS. The first step is to get the focus on the offending program, which may require patience. When you see it, Double click, space, or both, to make sure it’s properly highlighted. Press Alt-F4. Check your JAWS cursor to see if you have a message that IE is not responding, followed by the appropriate choices. Click on Close program. If you don’t see the desired effect immediately, perform the steps again, or until the program closes.
At this point, you may have lost JAWS, and think your irretrievably frozen, but you might actually b on the verge of salvation. Simply try reloading JAWS. If it comes back, try alt-tabbing around. If that works, you have saved your session, and can begin reloading Internet programs. If you run multiple tabs, only the offending tab should have shut down.

HI George We no longer own Quicken, so I can't make statements for Quicken 2017, but the team made significant changes for Quicken 2015 and Quicken 2016 to work with screen readers. There is a small JAWS script that should come as part of the JAWS package that helps with a few components. Are you having problems with a specific task? Also, the Quicken apps for iOS and Android work pretty well and can be much quicker at basic tasks than the desktop product.

I have used JAWS 14 prior to yesterday with IP Communicator/Microsoft Link when JAWS Version 18 was installed. I kept JAWS 14 as well. I really don’t currently observe any differences.

One way you can tell is by listening, and seeing if some of the words are cut off, or the speech is a bit sluggish. If this is the case, you may want to go into the advanced settings, and uncheck the Remote access boxes, and then reboot your machine. After the computer comes back up, go back into settings, and reenable the remote access options by checking the appropriate boxes. Reboot again, and then try to connect to the remote desktop. I had to do this once when using Citrix Xenn Desktop and it solved my issues. I should also point out that when you log into a remote desktop session, in most cases, you don't need to worry about the log on screen anyway, because the remote computer should already be on.

Hi James! In my experience with Cisco IP Communicator, JAWS doesn’t read it at all. It does read some of the settings, if you go to the program group, and look for audio settings and things like that. The IP communicator doesn’t really do anything that I can tell without another application like Cisco Desktop agent or something like that.
