Re: J2021.2012.57.400-any installation problems & questions!

Hi, You may need to un install 2021 altogether and begin fresh. Remember to leave shared components. Did you get the update through the auto update in the program or did you download the file from Freedom? I have gone to, and Vespero agrees, getting the update directly from web site as auto update often has problems after a new install.

Hi all!
First I’ve reached out to Vispero support and asked my questions. Unfortunately am attending a summit so can’t place a phone call to them til Monday.
Has anyone experienced problems with the J2021.2012.57.400-any that was published Tuesday?
I grabbed it yesterday and installed it last night. I had the early January jaws 2021 running successfully on my system.
Anyways, after installing it I rebooted and now jaws2021 will not run. So I started the J2021.2012.57.400-any again and it immediately said that it needed to run a repair. So I did. But it comes back immediately and crashes.
Yes, I’m working on an account that has admin rights on my system.
So looking for things I can do to get the repair working etc. or things I can try while waiting for Monday so I can talk to Vispero support.
My work station is windows 10 19.09 patched up to date. Reason for older windows 10 build is corporate company requirements.
Thanks all for your suggestions.
Have a good day.

Do you have an earlier version of Jaws like
Jaws2020 installed on your computer? If so, try removing J2021 and
reinstalling to see if that'll work.
Stay safe and take care. Mike.

Re: YouTube subscriptions questions and best practices
JM Casey
Hi.
I’ve got a google account, which of course is connected to youtube (youtube being a google service). I have subscribed to many channels at this point. If you do this, you will usually see links to new content those channels post on your youtube homepage. It’s also just a good way to keep track of the channels you like and visit frequently. Apparently this is considered an “old-school” way of using youtube nowadays, but I only really started taking advantage of it in the last year and change. Did you have any more specific questions about it?

Re: I can't get jaws 19 or 20 to install.
Orlando Enrique Fiol
At 06:43 PM 1/19/2021, Jim Rawls wrote:
I am running windows tem and have jaws 18 on the computer. I tried installing 19 and 20 from the Internet, and also tried the off line I've encountered this problem with every JAWS build since 2018. The simplest solution to try first is to use Apps and Features or CCleaner to remove all Freedom Scientific components. If that doesn't work, download Microsoft's Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter. This is a utility that attempts to uninstall applications by removing their registry entries. Once you run the utility, select Advanced mode, leave the box checked to run in administrator mode, press enter, select Uninstall, wait for the list of applications to populate and use first-letter navigation to select the first of a dozen Freedom Scientific components. Tab to Try Uninstall and wait a few minutes. Once the component has been removed, the utility will prompt you to close it. Sadly, there's no way to select multiple applications/components or to continue using the same instance of this utility, so you must repeat the entire process for each component. Some of the Freedom Scientific components will require a reboot, but you can uninstall them all, then reboot once at the end. Once all those components have been removed, navigate in the control panel to Add/Remove programs and remove all instances of the Microsoft C++Redistributable components. There will be components by year, sometimes going back as far as 2008. Microsoft also makes a command-line utility that uninstalls and reinstalls them all. This is apparently necessary because when JAWS installs, it also installs these components, so they must be gone before the JAWS install starts, else it will fail. Hopefully, these solutions have worked; attempt to reinstall JAWS after removing each set of components. But, the ultimate solution is not pretty. First, manually delete all Freedom Scientific directories from Program Files, Program files (X86) and Program Data. Then, open Regedit and search for Freedom Scientific or JAWS. Delete all the registry keys. After that, Regedit will keep searching the registry for a long time, but don't be discouraged. You will then begin to see other Freedom Scientific entries. Some will appear in the value pane. When they do, shift+tab to the tree view and remove their corresponding keys. All this is necessary because JAWS often does not install or uninstall properly, so it can't be reinstalled.

I say this because, in my opinion and experience, it is critical for any computer user to know "what controls what." And the commands used to do this status bar tweaking work whether or not a screen reader is involved in any way. Obviously, the JAWS+PageDown command is a screen reader command that is processed by the screen reader unless you were to use pass through, in which case it scrolls approximately half a page at a time (presuming JAWS=Insert, which I will) as a native Word command. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ André Gide

By the way, if you are someone who uses the Navigation Pane, you need only hit F6 two times to get to the status bar. The first puts you in to the edit box for searching in the Navigation Pane, the second to the page count item in the status bar.

Hi Leo,
Have you updated J2021 with the update that came out yesterday? I don't know if this will fix your problem but, give it a try. This update stopped that popping sound that so many people were having, so maybe it'll clear up your issue as well. The download link and what's new with this release is below. 32 & 64 bit download link: https://jaws2021.vfo.digital/2021.2012.57.400/4AD070D7-B284-424D-97A4-85ACBB926A1E/J2021.2012.57.400-any.exe What's new: Enhancements in JAWS 2021.2012.57 (January 19, 2021) This update addresses a few key issues that were reported shortly after the January 2021 release. To download the latest release, click on the link above You must be logged on as an administrator to install this software. list of 8 items • A new feature was introduced earlier this month, designed to let a user change the volume of JAWS speaking or the system volume itself using a layered keystroke: INSERT+SPACE, V followed by J for JAWS or S for System. Since this change, Eloquence users reported hearing Ticks when reading and typing, especially around the letter O. We also had reports of the volume randomly changing when reading documents or web pages. These issues are now resolved. • Resolved an issue where pressing INSERT+ALT+SPACEBAR was not starting the Voice Assistant in JAWS or Fusion. • The JAWS voice commands to speak faster or slower now adjusts the speech in larger increments. • Addressed an issue where JAWS was not reading table headings in Excel. • Added a new JAWS Dictionary entry for "DocuSign." • When spell checking a document in Word, resolved an issue where JAWS was not reading as expected when navigating by word through the text containing the error. • Resolved an issue where attachments were not being reported correctly in the Danish version of Outlook 2019. • In the Italian version of JAWS, addressed an issue where the keystrokes to access the Braille and Text Viewer layer, as well as the Volume layer, were not working as expected. list end Stay safe and take care.

Instead, I press F6, then arrow down two or three times- And this is another instance where another of the native MS-Word shortcuts works and, to my mind, is preferable. If the Navigation Pane is not open that F6 throws focus to the status bar and then you can use the left/right or up/down arrow keys to traverse the various components of the status bar. You can count on the program's native shortcuts, regardless of the program, to work reliably unless there is something really odd with the program installation itself. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ André Gide

insert-numpad3 reads the status line.- I didn't think you could remove word count and page count from the status bar, but perhaps you can. The zoom information is a part of the status bar as well, but it's at "the opposite end" from the page count and word count. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042 One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ André Gide
