[nfbcs] Downloading Web Braille Books In Windows 7

[Curtis Chong]

Greetings:

When focused on the download link, right click on the link to bring up the
context menu instead of pressing Enter on it.  You can then choose to save
the file and determine where the file will be saved.

Note that if you are using Internet Explorer 9 and invoking the general
download function that the download interface has changed substantially.  It
can still work, but it is more cumbersome than with earlier versions of
Internet Explorer.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Subject: [nfbcs] Downloading Web Braille Books In Windows 7

         Good evening everyone,

     I have just started using Windows 7 Home Premium within the past 
month, and am having trouble downloading Web Braille books. When I press 
enter to download a volume file, I generally choose the Save button, 
bbut then Windows 7 asks me with which program I want to open. 
Yesterday, it asked me to have BRF files fixed with Speedy PC, which I 
did not want. I just want to select a volume file, save it, and rename 
the file to have it saved in my Library Books folder. Can some of you 
please send some step-by-step instructions on how to download Web 
Braille books. This is a brand-new computer, and I don't want to break 
anything after trying to do something as simple as downloading books. I 
downloaded the Braille Readers Are Leaders reading logs without any 
problem. As far as screen-reading software goes, right now, I am using 
JAWS 12, but will soon be upgrading to JAWS 13.

     Thank you in advance for your help.

Mary Donahue

     P.S. I have had to use Pete's laptop or desktop to download books, 
and those are still in Windows XP, but I don't want to keep doing that.
