[Blindtlk] an JAWS question

Mon Sep 26 20:01:59 UTC 2011

Hi Marsha,

Again, I would suggest calling or emailing Freedom Scientific 
tech support.  The number is 727-803-8600 and the email is 
support%freedomscientificcom.  Probably, due to the nature of 
your problem, calling would be better because the tech support 
person could hear your JAWS and stay on the line with you as you 
try their suggestions.  If all of these suggestions from both the 
Blind Talk and the NABS lists aren't working for you, I think FS 
may need to help you.  Please let us know what they say!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

Gary,

Using the insert Z did nothing to help.  Alt tabbing, did 
nothing.  Using the
F6 did nothing.  I was originally using IE 7, and Jaws 12.  Once 
I noticed
things were not working, I updated my jaws and IE.  Now thus I am 
using IE 8.
Nothing else about my computer has changed.

How would I go about fixing my jaws or IE? Please explain that 
process,
please

BTW, You will be visiting my state soon!
Marsha

Hi Marsha.  When you bring up a webpage, press insert Z or Jaws 
Key Z as the
like to call it.  Write and tell me what it says.

You also have another option.  That is to do a repair of Jaws to 
ensure
nothing is broken there.  The same is true with Internet 
Explorer.

Lloyd,

Before I upgraded my IE version 7.  Things were working well.  
Then for
whatever reason things stopped working.  When I go to a new 
webpage, it does
start off in the address area.  But using F6 does nothing to help 
read the
page.

What is the Virtual buffer?

I think you might be on to something.

Sometimes IE 8 comes up with focus on the address bar.  Try 
pressing F6 a
couple of times and see if this will bring the page into the 
virtual buffer.

 I am using JAWS 12.  And I have Internet Explorer 8, with XP.  
when I go to
 a
 webpage, Jaws does not read the page.  I know its there, as I 
can use my
 other curser modes, and it will read the page.  But when in the 
PC mode, it
 reads nothing.  Seems that this just happened a few days ago, 
before all
 was
 fine.  I originally had IE 7, so updated thinking that was the 
issue.  I
 have
 installed all the windows updates, including all the jaws 
updates.  Nothing
 has seemed to work.  This is very baffling to me.

 Please help!

 Marsha
