Re: Trouble with "task switching"

My system does this as well on occasion, not sure what causes it, it is a Freedom Scientific issue. Best bet when the program gets goofy just reboot jaws

Re: purchasing computer questions

Just found out that HP has discontinued their HP Envy 15t and strong hint soon all Envy models of their laptops will be gone.
Other issue I am coming up against with Dell is the lack of a separate number pad like most HP laptops have when you get to the 15.6 screen size.

In addition to my last post, a separate video card is not necessary, but if you can get a little memories such as two gigs set aside for just video Freedom Scientific says this can be helpful to jazz performance.

I haven't been computer shopping in 7 years, so feel lost with choices. I will be teaching someone Jaws, but they first need a computer. I am looking for a Dell computer, both desktop and laptop. Top of the line isn't necessary but efficiency is. I know some computers work better with Jaws than others. I would appreciate some guidance. Also, now that Microsoft Word isn't on a disc, do you download it after purchase or can a computer already have it installed, as part of the package. Thank you very much.

HP has worked well for me as a desktop. Dell is a laptop. Depending on the application for this computer don’t skimp on the processor speed or memory. And video card is also helpful for jars. Microsoft word can be downloaded with
subscription or activate the trial if it comes on the computer. Not sure the fee for that.

Re: Actions recommended
Mario
my best guess is that the run a quick scan and check for security

updates refer to Windows Defender, and the security dashboard refers to the "action center" where you can check up on security settings.

Re: windows 10 pro questions
I may not have answers to all your questions, but for one thing I don’t think you can hide that play video button. Not sure about Windows Update in Action Centre, I wasn’t aware that it should be there and as far as I am concerned there is little reason for it to be there since it is easily accessed by pressing Windows Key+I for Settings, then the end button followed by enter which takes you straight there. As for uninstalling included Windows 10 apps, it is possible, but it is not easily done and according to the the article below not necessarily recommended. As the author pointed out, these apps take up so little space there really is no point and most likely they’ll be back after a major Windows update, but for more information read this article:

Re: iTunes will not update
Michael Mote
Hi Marvin! I’ve seen similar things happen when using iTunes on a Windows computer. What you may want to do is remove iTunes, and everything Apple from your computer. Don’t remove your music, just your iTunes program, and associated Apple programs. You can search in your programs and features to find these: Apple Application support, Apple Mobile Device support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, iCloud and iTunes. Once you have removed all of these files, I would try and reinstall iTunes again. See if this resolves your issue.

Re: How do I ID font formats?
Richard Turner
Actually, the keystroke is alt+windows+i.
If you bring up the quick settings with insert+v while in Word, and shift tab to the search box and type: text analyzer, you can toggle the settings for the analyzer. I searched the web for Jaws Text Analyzer and found the contents of a webinar that goes into more detail. At the following link, there is an option to download a zip file of the presentation:

Re: How do I ID font formats?
Ashleigh Piccinino
Hello Bill,
Does your version of JAWS have the text analyzer feature? If it does, press CTRL plus windows key plus I while in a word document. This feature, when used correctly, allows one to note inconsistencies within the writing. Such inconsistencies include missing capital letters and font such as boldface T type, etc. This is not a one time keystroke. It has to be pressed every time you wish to know an inconsistency in your writing. his should help, but I am not sure. Thank you for asking, Ashley

Hi, Windows+Shift+V hasn’t worked for a long time (from what I can tell). As for why this command is changing: the upcoming feature update to Windows 10 (Redstone 5) introduces cloud clipboard, a way to copy and paste texts and small files across devices. When this feature was introduced in a Windows Insider Preview build, Windows+V was assigned to cloud clipboard, thus Windows+Shift+V is now used to cycle through toasts (this reminds me: I need to make this clear the next time I send out screen reader advisories for Redstone 5…).

Hi, Joseph. Since Toast Notification will be changing from Windows Key plus V to Windows key plus Shift plus V, what will be used to cycle through notifications in reverse order.
