jaws 13 start up after logging in
Hi, I installed jfw 13 yesturday and I am noticing after I log in, jaws either doesn't start or it takes a while before it starts. The necessary boxes are checked to start automatically for all users and etc. I have jfw 12 and 13 on here but have 13 set to start up at the log on window and after I log into windows but again, it is either lagging after windo logs in or it isn't starting. Any ideas? Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

No, the dongle is not version-specific. It cost me just a few cents over
US$58 to send it to my mailbox. Also I had to digitally sign a form
promising that I would never ever use the dongle in a way as to pervert the
use of it strictly for my purposes. Or something along those lines. They
guard those dongles with enormous zeal.

Interesting. I've got a PacMate that I rarely use any more, and never paid

I'll have to give it a try some time.

What's not to broadcast? This is not a secret illegal trick. At least to
two
people I've spoken with at FS have made me aware of this. I get there are
reasons to stay current. And I have no problem with being legal. I support
it fully, but I don't support paying for more than one license for a
single
user of the product. My question is if I am paying over and over for the
same authorizations and capacities, and it sounds like maybe I am. Perhaps
several of us are if we own both JAWS and a PAC Mate.
FS, while trying to sell me a new PAC MATE told me at a trade show that a
PAC Mate (a $3,000+ item I already bought before) includes a license to
run
a full version of JAWS so long as the PAC Mate is hooked to the computer.
Unhooked JAWS would run on the computer in Demo Mode. Sort of makes sense,
you can't use both machines alone if they are connected and each has JAWS
installed.
As I already had a $1000 copy of JAWS 11 on the desktop machine, I had no
way to test it. Sounds to me like I already spent $1000 too much when I
bought JAWS and the PAC Mate at the same time as each includes apparently
includes a JAWS license. Where I am unclear is as to what versions are
supported by the PAC Mate connection and how this is enabled.
I have been hesitant to install a v12 or v13 demo on this machine to test
as
I don't want to mess anything up on the full install of v.11. I was hoping
to hear from a PAC Mate user who tried this feature.
When FS called a while back to try and get me to buy a new SMA (and to
upgrade to v.12, just before V.13 came out) the sales guy confirmed JAWS
is
included with a PAC Mate in this way, so again, I think this is quite
legit., I just want to figure out any limitations and options with this
feature.

I can't comment on your Pac Mate point, and I'm not sure you want to

Here's a question I have: apparently one can enable JAWS to run from a
demo
copy (without the demo timer turning it off) by hooking up a PAC Mate (if
you have one). (A FS guy told us this at a trade show this past summer.)
Well, we have a "spare" PAC Mate that we basically never use because my
daughter prefers her BrailleNote Apex.
Does anyone know the deal with this? I mean, isn't demo JAWS the same as
$900 JAWS that just turns off after what, 30 or 40 minutes?
We bought JAWS 9 with the SMA that got us to 11 and we're doing okay for
now. I thought of buying the new SMA, but what does that gain for us?
We've
never called for support after the initial setup all the way from from
v.9
to 10 to 11 so I'm not seeing that as a justification, and this is on a
desktop machine so it isn't like we need to be mobile-- this is just
plugging in a USB cable, right?
What am I missing? We've never tried this because we've always had a paid
copy of JAWS and so far we haven't gone past v.11. Just trying to look to
the future.

People probably don't notice that much of a difference version to

To the person who suggested that SMA stands for send money again, I
got a kick out of that.

Joni,
Another way to look at your situation, is in how much money you
actually saved. If you had kept current, going from JAWS 6 through 15
would have been
5 SMA at $120 each for a total of $600. You got current + SMA for $100 less.
So you came out ahead. Congratulations!
Of course I'm not accounting for inflation and the value of the dollar
in all this, but still...

Re: Jaws 11 / Focus 40 BT
Thanks. I do find the contracted braille option there but that seems to be for just the display itself, not the keyboard input style. The display is showing contracted content. I noticed it was set to use a Pacmate display as the default and corrected it to a FOCUS display, but it didn't make any obvious changes to what is happening. Obviously the Pacmate display (when removed and used as a standalone) is just that-- a display. The FOCUS 40 BT is a Braille Keyboard and a Display.
Then again, the menu option only says "FOCUS", and I think all except the Bluetooth FOCUS display have no braille keyboard. Maybe the proper driver is simply missing? Hopefully I can get to them at FS on the phone soon. I think either a driver is missing or I must be overlooking some sort of keyboard preferences option somewhere...
I also have yet to get the keyboard working as a Bluetooth device. I can get it to show up as "paired", but something is wrong when I use it that way-- nothing happens except that the device does come on and the device name pops up in braille (and in the bluetooth list of the computer) so it is indeed coming on. It simply has to be plugged in via USB right now to be used.
Most of the problem is probably my lack of familiarity with all of this stuff. It is just all very different that what I'm familiar with. (I'm a Macintosh Graphics person. )
If I figure anything out I'll post it in case others are interested.
Thanks,
Richard

uncontracted as she flies along pretty quickly and it looks the same to
confused sighted parents like myself trying to keep track of our
braille-using kids.
Can someone tell me how to toggle between contracted and uncontracted (grade
2 / grade 1) please? I suspect it is a simple keystroke, but I'm not finding
the solution in the print manual, nor does my third grader see it in the
braille version. (She's actually often able to find things like this for
herself.)
Thanks so much for any help with this.

Thanks. No, I didn't ever ask. Seems a bit late in the game for a refund to be an option, but at least maybe I'll avoid continuing to upgrade the second license in the future if I can make this work properly.

In answer to one part of your current message, installation of JAWS 12
didn't have any impact on 11 on my desktop. I didn't experience it, and no
one has reported it.
Have you broached FS about the possible duplicate purchase with a view to
obtaining a refund?

Don't know any answers, as it's more to do with IE7 and IE8 layout than

I have not figured out why I seem to get "stuck" in the tool bar. I'm
running 13 now but seemed to have the same problem with 12. Sometimes I can
just hit tab a few times and get down into the page, other times hitting tab
just cycles through the toolbar. Somtimes switching to the virtual cursor
helps, other times nothing helps.

5 times, that gets me out.
Well, it gets me out of my "stuck" condition in a captive Web
application that I have to keep running all the time.
If that doesn't work, then F-5 (which is a very handy key) will
sometimes work.
Still, there are times when Alt plus F-4 is the only option. Very
frustrating!

Subject: Re: getting stuck in the tool bar
IF tabbing does not get you out and just cycles through, it's usually
because the page has not finished loading. Try F5 to refresh.
I've also cursed at the whole IE interface every time I get "stuck" up
there in that area. I've turned off everything I can think of and still
there are elements that grab my cursor if I'm careless enough to tab
beyond the bottom of a page.
Don't know any answers, as it's more to do with IE7 and IE8 layout than
JAWS.

I have not figured out why I seem to get "stuck" in the tool bar. I'm
running 13 now but seemed to have the same problem with 12. Sometimes
I can just hit tab a few times and get down into the page, other times
hitting tab just cycles through the toolbar. Somtimes switching to the
virtual cursor helps, other times nothing helps.

Re: getting stuck in the tool bar

I have this too. Refresh doesn't often work. To focus the virtual pc cursor, Rout Jaws cursor to the document and left click, hoping not to hit a link and move to another page.

Here are the instructions FS sent me for deleting all settings.
To set JAWS to the defaults:
If you are using any third party scripts, back them up first.
1. Press the windows logo key to open the Start Menu.
2. Press the letter P for Programs or go to the all programs sub-menu.
3. Press the letter J till you come to the JAWS version you are
looking for and press enter.
4. Press Enter on Explore JAWS.
5. Down arrow to explore my settings and press Enter.
6. Press control+A to select all settings then hold down the shift key
and press the delete key. If prompted, press enter on yes.
7. Restart JAWS.

How does one reset user dialog items to default? I could not find that in

I wonder what happens if one deletes everything in the user folder including
all the sub folders. Would Jaws recreate them or would this really mess it
up?
For example:
PersistenceLevelInfo.ini
SettingsCenter.ini
Classic.SMF
PlaceMarkers File Folder
PersonalizedSettings File Folder
Sounds File Folder
transient-session File Folder
transient-focus File Folder

Kimber,
Agree that the suggestion is nebulous, but it just underscores that they
don't have a clue, or that they can't duplicate what you're experiencing.
The latter is usually what happens to me -- their exact setup matching
mine
works just fine for them.
As to their suggestion of "resetting the JAWS user settings" all I can
think
of is either clear out all your user-defined scripts from the ENU folder
(which you only do after backing them all up somewhere), or using the
settings center and setting the user dialog items to their default values.

Hi All,
A week or so ago I posted to the list an issue I was having with Jaws
13 where in my braille display freezes at random times in random
applications. I emailed FS tech support as well and here is the answer
I received.
"Please try resetting your JAWS user settings. This often clears up
issues of this type."
Now maybe it's me, but what the heck kind of tech support is that? I
mean this is a brand new release and I'm reporting an issue that has
never happened in earlier releases and *that* is the answer I get?
Really FS needs to do better by its long-time customers.

You can authorize JAWS using your Pacmate. I'm not sure how it works but it can be done.

Another way to look at your situation, is in how much money you actually
saved. If you had kept current, going from JAWS 6 through 15 would have been
5 SMA at $120 each for a total of $600. You got current + SMA for $100 less.
So you came out ahead. Congratulations!

Richard, I appreciate the explanation. If FS sanctions the use, there's
clearly no problem.
In answer to one part of your current message, installation of JAWS 12
didn't have any impact on 11 on my desktop. I didn't experience it, and no
one has reported it.
Have you broached FS about the possible duplicate purchase with a view to
obtaining a refund?

Richard,
Interesting. I've got a PacMate that I rarely use any more, and never paid
much attention to that option to "Use Authorization from PacMate" under the
Advanced button in Options/Basics. Very interesting, indeed. And here I just
purchased and received my dongle to avoid those annoying non-authorization
issues.
I'll have to give it a try some time.

As Joni explained earlier this afternoon, there are unsung reasons to stay
current with JAWS, specifically the behind-the-scenes adjustments that FS
makes to developments on the Web.
Your daughter would soon find 40-minute mode frustrating because she'd keep
being interrupted in the middle of her thought process by the need to
reboot.
I can't comment on your Pac Mate point, and I'm not sure you want to
broadcast it, even assuming the suggestion works.

Joni,
Another way to look at your situation, is in how much money you
actually saved. If you had kept current, going from JAWS 6 through 15
would have been
5 SMA at $120 each for a total of $600. You got current + SMA for $100 less.
So you came out ahead. Congratulations!
Of course I'm not accounting for inflation and the value of the dollar
in all this, but still...

Both jaws 12 and 13 work fine with the latest firefox. I use FF for
nearly all browsing, the only exceptions being a few sites that just
refuse to work with it.

Re: What kind of tech support is that?
For selfish reasons, I'm sure I'm not alone on this list in wishing you'd
accepted the offer. But better you be happy.

Adrian, Yes, the FS tech rep should have explained how to run the test with the /default switch and then explained how to remove the user settings if necessary. As others have pointed out, not very good tech support. Their tech support seems to vary a lot depending on which tech support person you get. I had an opportunity to be one of those support people once upon a time. I'm glad I stayed where I was!

Gary,
I'm glad you clarified. It crossed my mind to be clearer this morning,
but it was early and my mind was a bit foggy.
Do you agree with this? FS should have suggested that Kimber first
try the /default switch method. If nothing changed, it would show that
neither her user settings nor third party scripts were at fault.
However, if the result had been an improvement in performance, the
settings and scripts needed to be copied to another folder and deleted
from the user settings folder.
Then,
as you say, the individual files could be copied back one by one to
find the culprit.
I think I'm just restating what you said, but I want to be sure. I do
think FS's proposed initial step was too drastic, causing a lot of
work for many users who would receive it and perhaps discouraging
others completely.

Subject: Re: What kind of tech support is that?
Adrian,
The two solutions that you are comparing don't have the same purpose.
Running JFW with the /default switch just lets you test the program
temporarily with only the default settings and scripts. This helps
you determine if any settings or third-party scripts in your user
settings folder are at fault.
The other posted solution tells you what to do if the test you just
ran proves that user settings or third-party scripts are the cause of
your problem. It tells you how to get rid of them and start over with
the default settings and scripts. Backing up any third-party scripts
preserves them for placing back in the user settings folder later,
preferably one at a time if you suspect that one of them may be at
fault.

Hi. I'm glad you posted FS's instructions, but I think the suggestion
Matthew posted the other day on this topic is safer and less
time-consuming.
Here's what he wrote:
I believe you should be able to simulate resetting your Jaws settings
if you unload Jaws and then use the run dialog with Windows key R,
then type
jaws13
/default This way, it will reload Jaws, but it will act like it did
when first installed. Then you can see if the problem clears up.

Robert,
Here are the instructions FS sent me for deleting all settings.
To set JAWS to the defaults:
If you are using any third party scripts, back them up first.
1. Press the windows logo key to open the Start Menu.
2. Press the letter P for Programs or go to the all programs sub-menu.
3. Press the letter J till you come to the JAWS version you are
looking for and press enter.
4. Press Enter on Explore JAWS.
5. Down arrow to explore my settings and press Enter.
6. Press control+A to select all settings then hold down the shift
key and press the delete key. If prompted, press enter on yes.
7. Restart JAWS.

one reset user dialog items to default? I could not find that in

I wonder what happens if one deletes everything in the user folder
including all the sub folders. Would Jaws recreate them or would this
really mess it up?
For example: PersistenceLevelInfo.ini SettingsCenter.ini Classic.SMF
PlaceMarkers File Folder PersonalizedSettings File Folder Sounds File
Folder transient-session File Folder transient-focus File Folder

Kimber,
Agree that the suggestion is nebulous, but it just underscores that
they don't have a clue, or that they can't duplicate what you're experiencing. The latter is usually what happens to me -- their exact setup
matching mine works just fine for them.
As to their suggestion of "resetting the JAWS user settings" all I
can think of is either clear out all your user-defined scripts from
the ENU folder (which you only do after backing them all up
somewhere), or using the settings center and setting the user dialog
items to their default values.

Subject: What kind of tech support is that?
Hi All,
A week or so ago I posted to the list an issue I was having with Jaws
13 where in my braille display freezes at random times in random
applications.
I emailed FS tech support as well and here is the answer I received.
"Please try resetting your JAWS user settings. This often clears up
issues of this type."
Now maybe it's me, but what the heck kind of tech support is that? I
mean this is a brand new release and I'm reporting an issue that has
never happened in earlier releases and *that* is the answer I get?
Really FS needs to do better by its long-time customers.
Kimber
