Hi all:
sorry for the seemingly endless number of questions, but I really need to
get them off my chest. the first having to do with the JAWS 7.1
installation, when it comes out. back in December I renewed my SMA for JAWS
so now I have 2 free upgrades at the point I am at now, with JAWS 7. the
thing is, on my desktop (where JAWS 7 has been installed since September) I
have no upgrades remaining, whereas on my laptop (where a clean install of
JAWS took place in March) I see the two remaining upgrades. is it as I
suspect? will I need to uninstall JAWS 7 on my desktop and then re-install
it to see the two remaining upgrades? and if so, ths means that I can't
merge my settings which brings me to my next point, merging over a network.
back in the good old days, or, my good old days (as some of you may still
have 98) I had one computer running 98 and the other running XP. since the
computer running 98 was my primary computer, the merge seemd to run
smoothly. but as soon as I got XP things were less than perfect. despite
having both of my C drives shared out I couldn't access JAWS so I could
merge my settings like I used to over the network. sure, I could access the
drives, but anything on it, nuh uh. it's like everything on the c drive is
sacred or something, including things like the my documents folder, where
I've had stuff that I've wanted to move from there onto my other computer.
so, what I would have to do is mov e the file from the my documents folder,
to the file drive, and then from there I could access it with my other
computer and move it from that file drive to the other. is there something
that I'm doing wrong in the sharing process that does not allow me to view
any files on either of my c drives over a network? I constantly would get
the message in the case of JAWS anyway, that the c drive was "a protected
volume."
and now for something completely different, websites. JAWS does *not* seem
to like this website http://www.emilyjordan.com/# nor the Gemeinhardt site
www.gemeinhardt.com. I'm not sure why, it's the same old "this page links"
with on-mouse-overs that JAWS sees nearly every day. why is it that I cannot
do enter on these links? I've actually had this problem with a couple of
other sites as well.
Thanks for your help,
Patricia
