[nfbcs] [gui-talk] IE9 Download and Recording through the soundcard in Windows 7

Sat Oct 22 13:54:43 UTC 2011

Hello everyone,

    The download matter has been resolved but I still need help with the 
sound card issue. If someone here can give me the procedure for setting up 
to record through the sound card in Windows 7 I'll appreciate that very 
much. At present we don't use BARD so would appreciate the procedure please.

    This is the first response of any kind that I've received concerning 
these issues. As I said the download matter is under control. Now to knock 
out the sound card issue so we can begin recording using the Windows 7 
machine. The option you needed to select in Windows 98 was called "What You 
Hear" and in XP it was called "Stereo Mix." I need to know what to set in 
Windows 7 so anything played through the sound card can be captured by 
recording software.

    I've all ready been told that if one wishes to record audio or video 
from radio or T.V. stations it may be necessary to use software that 
bypasses the sound card due to limitations Microsoft may have implemented in 
newer versions of Windows due to the DMCA. If this were all together true it 
may not be possible to record on such machines at all hence things don't 
quite add up in this vein of thought.

    Fortunately we can use our other two machines for this purpose until I 
get an answer to this question. All the best.

I am behind on email.  So forgive me if someone has already mentioned this
book.  It is called Windows 7 for Seniors for Dummies.  It is available on
the BARD web site and is quite good.  I am an IT professional and I found it
very helpful.

Here is The BARD Catalog information:

Peter,
This is an in addition to what Louis said. After you tell the file to save
the dialog box opens and you can go to the save as with an alt+I; I like to
save in my documents folder instead of the download folder but that is up to
you. If you want to save in the documents after you go to the save as with
alt+I, you can down arrow and save anywhere you want, then alt+s to save/
Right off the bat I will tell you jaws has issues with IE9. Microsoft still
has a ways to go so I have kept my students on IE8. I keep test driving IE9
and when I know my kids can get through it without a lot of hiccups, I will
move them to it. Once again that is a choice for you. I highly suggest
downloading firefox which is incredibly accessible with jaws.

The secret of Windows 7 which is a fantastic operating system is when you
hit your start button, it is like an enormous search engine of your
computer. Let's say you just named the file you saved as "dogs" you hit the
start button and begin typing dogs and down arrow to the file and enter and
it will open...no matter where you saved it. When you hit the start button,
as you type the OS begins trying to figure out what you want and where you
want to go. Whatever word you type, you just have to down arrow through your
choices to find it and it will be there as long as you have not mistyped the
word.

If you want to open your audio folder, hit your start button and type in
audio, down arrow to the audio settings and enter to open, then just tab
through all your options.

Need to go to excel, hit your start button and type in excel, down arrow to
excel and enter to open. I think you get the picture. You will grow to love
it. Windows 7 is very powerful and will get you where you need to go very
very fast. If you want more lessons on windows 7 and office 2010, Excel,
Powerpoint, etc, you can go to http://www.yourtechvision.com/ and there are
hundreds of very quick easy lessons to learn those skills and all lessons
are all keystroke based.
