I despise all of the crud that most computer manufacturers place into the Startup process, extra programs, offers for online services, and it goes on and on. One thing to try is to access the Start Menu, go into either Programs, or All Programs, depending on how your XP is set up, Down Arrow to the Startup folder, press Right Arrow, and examine all of the items in that folder. Press the Applications key on an item you would like to get rid of, and choose Delete from the menu. I would try this method first, and see what happens before exploring other options. =20 -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kimberly Morrow, PhD Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2006 4:21 AM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] access to buttons I'm having a really annoying problem with my new laptop. At startup, there's an option placed there by Toshiba that gives you the choice of checking for upgrades either manually or by autocheck. It keeps popping up when I'm in the middle of reading messages. The way to get rid of it is to check one of two buttons "auto" or "manual". It reads out "auto button" and "manual button" but doesn't appear to give me an actual button to click on. I'm running Jaws 8.0 and Xp. How do I get these buttons to read out with Jaws so I can tell where they are? In other words, how do I locate and place focus on these buttons? I tried the applications menu, but it didn't read any options for the buttons.=20 =20 Kimberly =20 To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes To subscribe or to leave the list, or to set other subscription options, go to www.freelists.org/list/real-eyes
