Gezim, I don't think I read your original post about your missing new Passport hard disk. I'm assuming this is an external USB disk drive. Does it have its own power so it must be plugged into an

That setting was turned on, and I rutned it off according to your instructions;however, I still cannot find my hard disk. Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance, Gezim

I just tried your recommendation. Three disks appeared on the list, but JAWS says that ‘change drive letters and paths’ is unavailable. Anyway, I am not sure that my Passport Ultra is one of those

I'm a big fan of Windows Run commands. You can press the Windows key + r to open a run command window and type diskmgmt.msc in the text box and press enter to bring up a file explorer window with your

Brian, I really don't have any specific examples as is typical when a curmudgeonly dinosaur like me goes on a rant. I think I'm more remembering my sighted days when upgrading between really older

James, I'm right there with you. UI changes are the bane of my existence. It's as if the developers forget that they have an existing user group who has bothered to learn how a program operates

There are realspeak solo voices available from the following Freedom Scientific page. You can also use any SAPI 5 and probably SAPI4 voice that is not tied to a specific piece of software, but they

Hi, Does any one know where I can get more voices for OpenBook? Thanks. Andrew

I strongly now agree with Bill and the Brian H, who I think wrote the software you are talking about. You have been very lucky so far that migrating settings hasn’t messed you up. HTH,

Hi all, I just bought a My Passport Ultra hard disk, but I cannot see it I my laptop. I am using the latest JAWS version, if that has any relevance. I hope this is not too off-topic, and I

When I migrated from 2020 to 2021, it caused the Calculator app not to work properly. Had to delete the settings to fix the problem.

I do not mind improvements in security or in software improvements. What gets my goat is when programmers rewrite the entire or most of the entire interface. If a program has a good menu system

Hi, I purchased Leasy and am reading through the installation documentation. It starts by talking about installing JAWS. The directions say that we should never migrate settings from a previous
