This is definitely wayyyyyyyy off-topic. You’ll want the Blindtech list for this. James, List Admin

Task manager. The Windows 10 version's a pile; I installed the classic version.

Pro, but you’re right, it probably doesn’t matter.

Hey all, So I installed the latest version of JAWS on this laptop 2 days ago. It’s been running overnight now because I’m using it for work, and I’m noticing something odd. Usually JAWS occupies aroun

Your antivirus program is only as good as the one using it. If you're an idiot online, Caspersky will last about 10 minutes. If you know what you're doing, Windows Defender/MSSE and common sense is re

I run this group using JAWS 2020 and latest Chrome without much of an issue, at least last time I had a reason to visit the site.

This would probably be a better topic for the Blindtech list. James, List Admin

That’s because after you update JAWS, the installer you have is no longer the current version. So when you run the install, it wants to bring you back to the version you had before the update. Transla

Until a certain number of posts are approved. No, I’m not saying how many. This is an anti-spam measure. Rather than resubscribing, perhaps just go nomail? James, List Admin

The beautiful thing about this list being hosted where it is is it comes with file storage and a wiki. The even more beautiful thing about it is, trusted members who've shown a history of not being pr

It's been a very, very long time since FS sent out any kind of product update email. Eric D used to send them out himself, but that was back before FS was FS I believe. Regardless, it's been long enou

Not a 2020 user yet, but that seems like expected behaviour. When you use alt+v to get into the menu, the JAWS cursor doesn't follow you. If you don't route PC to JAWS, you should stay in the menu and

You also don’t get to actually turn off automatic updates unless you’re running I believe it’s pro. The Win10 home laptop I have access to (not mine, but I helped set it up) only gives you the option

I switched to Chrome ages ago and wouldn’t go back if you paid me. I still keep IE around because some of the websites I use at work don’t play nice with anything else, but for anything that matters,

This is actually the longest running list for JAWS I know of. It started I believe in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. This website alone has archives going back as far as 2011, when I hosted it myself.

Eh, not really. This laptop runs 8 GB and its only problem is the processor's 4+ years old. If you're not slapping VMware on the thing you'll do fine in most cases. Just slap another stick of memory i

Nah, i3's are terrible. There's a reason they're in the entry level PC's. If you just need a $400 laptop so mom can check Facebook, it works. If you want to actually use it, though, probably go bigger

You're not wrong, but that has its own stability issues. And if you don't have money to burn, that's not going to be an option--I haven't found a machine sporting that kind of setup for less than abou

Okay. So not an issue with your computer. Interesting. Without knowing more about your setup I think I'd just be guessing at this point. But it's fairly safe to say nothing you're actually doing is do
