No problem! that's what being on the list is all about, sharing information and
experiences that may someday be useful. Robert.

Subject: [ddots-l] screen resolution
Hi guys:
I would like to share an experience with you all especially Stacy! (hope I
spelled your name right). I just finished a recording session with a sited
buddy of minds and I have had this problem before and probably will again in
the near future, except now I know how to correct the problem. Outside of Sonar
because we don't use a monitor as a totally blind musician, it will literally
go un noticed and un spoken by JAWS. I was trying to check my recording levels
using the meters in Sonar: (F2), Sonar JAWS and CT would say "This function
failed, make sure that the main window and child windows are maximized". Ah!
what does this mean to me? well I ran the CT test (ctrl+F12) to check my screen
resolution, CT reported that my screen resolution had somehow changed to a
resolution of 768 by 1024, you got it! exactly the reverse of what it should
be. My sighted buddy said that the screen was literally at an angle, although
at one point when he viewed it, was completely up side down. I tried looking
through the settings for screen resolutions in the control panel to select the
correct settings, 'turns out it was not quite that simple, because even to my
sighted buddy the proper set of numbers were not among the list of choices. So!
what to do! I called another buddy of minds who is a blind computer technician
up and told him about my situation and asked him if he new how to correct this
problem. and he rescued me from a problem that could not be done in the display
menu of the control panel. He told me that it was a Windows command that
allowed computer user to rotate their screen and that there's actually a
keyboard command for us to use that will set the screen back to its proper
position and here it is: (ctrl+shift plus the plus-key). What you must do if Ct
discovers this is the case: shutdown or restart your computer. After your
computer comes back up and all programs have loaded perform the command above
then go into Sonar and open up a project that contains audio, because some of
the functions of CT are apparently not affected by the wrong resolution. Well!
I hope this help some one in some way. Robert
