Re: boot into safe mode using jaws
Dorothy <dorothy.ingram-gorban@...>
I have read this with interest, since it is not the safe mode thatMs
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
outlook suggests if it is not turned off,just so and complains when next the desktop is put on and suggest it run in safe mode. However since I mentioned a while ago when my xp desktop seemingly died downloading jaws and I called out a local engineer who said jaws 11 may have hit a poor patch on the Hd, letme custom make you a windows 7,as it was newly out I did have an external back up so he knew I had material stored off computer. Well a couple of people I know said"he could have tried to repair it in safe mode", so in that kind of safe mode how would he have gone about fixing my xp desktop the easy thing of course was to say he could custom make me a windows 7 pc for an astronomical price thanks dorothy

To save the guessing of when to hit f8 & so on to boot into safe mode, you can do the following. press windows r to open the run box in the run box type, msconfig & press enter the system configuration window will open either shift tab once to get up into the tabs & use the right arrow, or use control tab & find the boot tab its called the Boot tab in windows 7, boot.ini tab in xp once on the boot tab, start tabbing through the options & you will find boot option Safe boot, you need to check this then tab once more & you will find radio buttons use the arrow keys to choose either minimal or network again dont forget, if you choose network, while you are connected to the internet you have no securety running. now just tab to the ok button & hit the space bar. on xp you will get a window saying need to restart, on windows 7 you will not recieve this & need to restart the system yourself. On xp when the system boots into safe mode you will here the windows log on sound & then you will hear a ding sound, the ding is a window stating you are in safe mode, just press enter to say ok. You will not get this ding sound in windows 7. dont forget things in safe mode are a lot slower, so wait a while for the desktop & so on to load before you try to start your screen reader. In xp when you get your screen reader running you may find a system configuration window saying, is in selective mode & so on, I normally tab to never show this again & check it, then tab to ok Once you are finished doing what you want to in safe mode, you need to go back into msconfig into the boot tab & uncheck boot into safe mode. If you dont do this, you will just keep starting up in safe mode. Hope this helps.... _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list Jfw@lists.the-jdh.com http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com

tagging friends in facebook posts
Nickus de Vos <bigboy529@...>
Hi some of you might know that it's possible to add a friend as a link
in a facebook post. The way it works is to place the @ sign in front of a persons name e.g. @peeter Smith, almost the same as on twitter but then it opens a drop down menu to show you the person you mentioned and you must click on the name in the list. Have any of you tryed this with jaws, and how do you click the name in the list? I mostly use m.facebook.com even on my pc because it's most accessible with jaws but have tryed both sites and can't click the name in the drop down menu.

Add-on to unclutter websites?
Robbie
Hi! does anyone know of an add-on for Firefox that cleans out these
infernal Google ads and all the Facebook and Twitter widgets? It's exasperating to have to navigate through all that stuff just to read the second half of an article or even get to the article in the first place. I'D be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks, Robbie

Outlook 2007 Calendar and JAWS
Charlie Macdonald <charlie.mac@...>
Greetings: I've just started to use Outlook 2007 at work and having some
difficulty getting the calendar view set ... are there any suggested settings for Outlook to make the calendar more responsive to JAWS .. For example with view set to "week" I cannot move day to day with the right arrow although to a sighted person using the right arrow does advance the calendar but JAWS is stuck on the current day .. I called FS help desk and the fellow on the desk had the same problem but could not help me. I'm using the latest version of Jaws 12 and it's a vista operating system ... Many thanks for any suggestions, Regards, Charlie.

Re: Need refresher on how to configure varous voices in Jaws 12withWindows 7
Marquette, Ed <Ed.Marquette@...>
Having just had my laptop "upgraded" to Windows 7, I'm in the same boat as is Tom.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I think, actually, there are two routes, with variations along the way. You can create separate voice profiles indeed. Different profiles can employ different synthesizers. I now have a profile for Eloquence and one for Samantha of the Solo RealSpeak voices. In addition, however, you can create a different voice scheme. I've done this principally by modifying and renaming schemes Freedom Scientific provides by default. JAWS key plus alt plus S will get into the voice schemes. Here, you can set different voices for different items, including bold and so on. Under the voice alias setting, you can create your own custom voice, combining one of the named voices with your own pitch and so on.

Hi, all.
I'm configuring Jaws on my new Windows 7 laptop, and can't recall how to configure various voices for reading plain text, messages and tutorials, etc.. I want to get to the voices like Paul,Rocco, Sandy, Grampa, etc. Can anyone give me a quick set of steps to do this? Thanks! Tom in Michigan
