I will definitely have another go as this sounds like a must have utility.

Hi Peter,

If you select the try before you buy checkbox, you will get rid of those
edit boxes. They are for your activation code, which you only get when you 
buy it.

All the best

Steve

I wouldn't use jaws if you paid me after the nonsence re freedombox. Using window-eyes, during the installprocess, there seemed to be a series of edit 
boxes and even using the mouse keys I couldn't fathom out what they were.

Hi Peter,
Can you be more specific? Everything is visible to Window-Eyes, so saying 
screen readers is not correct.  I haven't tried the install with JAWS, so
if
you tell me what bits you can't read, I'll try to remember them, but no
promises, as I am not messing with my installation <Smile>.

All the best

Steve

Steve, I tried to install the trial version of diskeeper, but whengoing
through the install process, I was asked to  enterinformation that is not
visible to screenreaders. Any ideas please?

Hi folks,

Why not just buy Diskeeper, http://www.diskeeper.com.  Then you can
forget
about defragging altogether and let Diskeeper do it for you.  I can't
recommend it highly enough.  It defrags in the background while you are
working, and I can honestly say I see no degradation in performance when
it
is defragging.  In fact, the opposite.  I find my machine is snappy all
of
the time now.

Incidentally, it is also completely screen reader friendly, with JAWS,
Window-Eyes, and System Access, the three I have tried it with.

All the best

Steve

It's scan disk first, and it really does make a difference after it's
done.
I once remember that, when JAWS used the authorisation disk, I
defragmented
the harddrive and lost the key, it went back into demo! Thank goodness we 
don't use that stupid disk way anymore, remember how you had to backup
the
keys and all that!

Damon, I think to get a hastle free defrag you should try and have as
few
programs running as possible.

Can you disconnect from the net? If so you can safely turn off any
firewall and anti-virus software. I personally haven't had to turn off
the



screenreader, and of course if you do unless youve got some useful
vision
you won't know whats going on.

Have you done a scan disk first? I can never remember which order those
2
things are supposed to be done but perhaps if you try that first it may
help fix whatever is causing your defrag problems.

HI all.
For some reason I can't complete a full defrag. It's a little confusing. 
It gets to around 10% and stops.
Is there any reason why the existence of jaws, for instance, might cause 
this problem? I think it's a long running problem for me.

My screensaver isn't on. But my Virus checker, Mcafee, is still on.
Might
this be the issue?

Any system cleaning or tidying tips most appreciated.

Thanks.
