Re: Disk ajectors that are accessibil
Chris Hill
Hello.
I agree with Brian here. Unless you've gone in on purpose and
turned write-caching on on your external device, removing it
without the safe to remove icon is safe. If you really want it
back and the problem is with usb, I'd suggest trying a usb repair
program like usb oblivion. It may cause other issues, so be sure
you really want to mess with it. I was having usb problems a
while back, and I threw every usb repair tool I could find at the
problem . I don't know what fixed it, but as a side-effect my
safely remove icon came back after my attempts. I suspect usb
oblivion did the trick, but I can't be sure.

David, assuming that you're using a recent version of Windows 10, then: 1. A quick way of opening the Settings app at the main Ease of Access category is to press the shortcut Windows key + U. The settings app opens at the Ease of Access page, with the first category, Display, selected. 2. Tab to the Show notifications for combo box, and select the time that you want. David.

Re: Disk ajectors that are accessibil
Truth be told, as Windows has been configured since at least Windows 7 the "Eject" feature is not even necessary, provided you know that there is not active writing going on at the moment you pull the backup drive plug, jump drive, or SD card out. And it's usually not difficult to know that you're not writing to a disc unless you were doing something that takes a very long time, like a full system image backup, and even then the external HDD will stop spinning shortly after it's complete.
You can safely just disconnect USB devices that are not actively being written to with no ill effects. That's what I've done for a very, very long time now. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Re: No font
Richard,
Yes, it can be done without sighted help if you have sufficient patience. With Windows 10 Version 1809 (and I think this feature came in with 1803) you can fire up Narrator during the install process (CTRL+WinKey+Enter) and it will tell you what's going on. You do have to be at the stage where it can be activated, which is often several minutes after the whole process has begun. I would very strongly suggest using one of the "bootable media" methods, whether that's using the Media Creation Tool to directly create a bootable USB drive or to download the ISO, then burn the ISO to optical media or transfer it to bootable USB using Rufus or similar. I will presume you take regular full system image backups along with separate user data backups. Definitely do both prior to undertaking this task as you want to be able to recover quickly and easily were something horrible to go wrong. I have not had anything horrible go wrong using this technique, and I've used it way more than once, but this is a "better safe than sorry" sort of situation. Given the additional information you've offered I would definitely recommend doing the "install-over install" in hopes that it will correct the issues identified. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. ~ H.L.

Re: No font
Richard Turner
Another very strange thing that this idea might solve is that my shortcut keys for programs like Word, Outlook, Excel, etc., work fine if I am running Jaws 2018, but if I launch Jaws 2019, none of them work. Between that and the no font issue with CSS HTML Validator, has me ready to do this. Can it be done without sighted help.

Re: No font
Richard,
Even though this might seem extreme, really peculiar issues like this tend to be the result of corruption, whether with the Windows 10 install or the program install. One of the things I've routinely done when I get these inexplicable errors under Windows 10 is to do an "install over" reinstall keeping all existing files and applications. You can use either one of the two following instruction sets to do that. Pick the one with the style you find easiest to follow:

Re: No font
Richard Turner
Good thought, but no. It has its own editor and needs no other program. It is completely self contained. That is why this is so frustrating.
I have absolutely no clue why it would be different on my machine. I did nothing different when installing on either machine.
I am very doubtful even that Microsoft could help unless I can have the two computers side by side and have them log in to both.
That ain't gonna happen. So I'm about ready to just give it up.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Richard,
Does your work computer have a different program assigned to
read this program with? What I mean is, you know some programs will
open using Notepad as the assigned program, like in IE11, I have
Notepad as the HTMl editor. Or, I have VLC as my default media
player. Maybe this program needs a program assigned so Jaws can read
it. I'm just throwing ideas out there.
Take care. Go Rams! Sent from my iBarstool. The probability of someone watching you is proportional to the stupidity of your action.

Re: Tether JAWS Cursor to PC Cursor
Bill White
Hi again, Richard. One thing I have noticed is that, when the JAWS cursor is tethered to the PC Cursor, some menus may not read correctly. So this is a setting you probably don’t want to be permanent, and will probably only want to have set to “The JAWS Cursor will follow the PC Cursor” only when needed.

Hi!
What is the JAWS command (laptop keyboard layout, if available) to tether the JAWS cursor (i.e., the mouse) to the PC cursor? Also, when this is done, is it specific only to the particular application for which it is done, or is it system wide? Is there a way to make it specific to a particular application; for example by way of a JAWS setting? Is the action permanent; meaning it will be active if the computer and the particular application is started subsequently? Or, must it be done every time the computer is restarted?
Thanks, Richard
