Hi Ca?yanne, all of these lab machines are running Windows 10 Pro. I tried the procedure on three of the 15 machines and so far so good. I’ll know how things are shaping up when I log them in tomorrow

Hi, I’m not sure if this has been covered before. At my work, I have 15 computers in a lab, all running Windows 10, with JAWS 2018 and/or Fusion 2018. They are all networked and all log into a domain.

Hi Thanks, Jason, for reminding me about the keystroke references at the Microsoft web site. I may go find those, download them if I can, and pass them on to my students. I just recently switched to O

Hi. Brian either has this so-called "feature" as part of his e-mail service or as part of some sort of anti-spam software. It's actually been around for years; I've run into it from time to time, and

Hi Paul. I installed build 4463 and took it for a spin with Outlook 2010 on my Windows 8.1 machine and it worked fine. Everything read as I expected it too. I was, however, using the default view that

Hi Gennie, It's a great book. If you haven't already sent that book to someone, I'm sure my students would love it. We're using the audio version of the book as part of our computer training curriculu

Hi, I dislike the so-called virtual ribbons for that very reason and encourage all of my students to avoid using virtual ribbons like the plague. All they do is isolate you from the interface that's i

Hi Barbara, You wrote: Probably the easiest way to get rid of the speaking of the greater-than sign is to set punctuation to some or none. Go into the JAWS Window and the Options menu. Go down to the

Hi Greg, This problem is not unique to Dell laptops; I've run into this issue with Dell desktop machines that have an Intel graphics adapter. I think the shortcut that caused the screen rotation is ct

Hi Tom. Although this isn't supposed to happen, it's not uncommon for JAWS to lose track of its authorization, and often a simple reboot will resolve the issue. I usually cold boot the machine (do a f

Hi Bill, I'm not sure if that option is present in all Print dialogs, but it is available in Word 2010; when you do a ctrl+p and the dialog comes up, tab to the "print to file" checkbox, hit the space

Hi Ann, You may already know this, but I'll mention this for the benefit of others on the list. In older versions of Windows, it was sufficient to check the item for "start JAWS at the logon screen" a
