Hi Barry I cannot help technically but have you ever used Team Viewer? If there is a sighted person on the list who would be prepared to assist you and someone you could trust. I know I have used this when someone from Tech Support has assisted me with a technical problem. The version for home use is free. Eleanor -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Sansa E280 From: "Barry Toner" <barry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 20/07/2010 2:45 pm Hi folks, Here's a prime example of lack of Accessibility. I bought my partner a Sansa E280 8GB player, brand new. With the intention of loading Rockbox from, http://www.rockbox.org Having had several Archos Jukebox's, and Irivers in the past 7 years I thought it wouldn't be a problem to install this without sighted help. Especially as there's an automated tool for the job thesedays and there's a Quicktime Script to make said tool be more friendly towards Window Eyes. AFAIK, JFW won't read the Rockbox Utility at all. Thing is I can only get the player to come up on Media Transfer Mode on my Windows 7 machine, and not Mass Storage. So i can't copy the Rockbox files either automated or manually to the root of the player. I've been told by a guy on the RB User Support/Development list that it's a Storage Mode under the players UI's Settings I need to change. Fantastic! Though I've no eyes here, and the set of eyes I could get lives about 25 minutes away by car and although my Dad would want to help it's normally allot of hassle. Plus it's terrible to ask him to come up for 2 minutes to read this screen to me. A job that would probably take 15 minutes as tech stuff intimidates him. So... Whilst it's nice to have a place to rant I'd really like to get RB on for my partner. I don't want to have to wait until Thursday when i'm getting a lift to look at some papers to get eyes. Do any of you on here have this player or have had this player? And therefore know the key sequences to get into the Settings menu and move the player from MT to MSC mode when plugged in via USB? This stuff shouldnt' be this difficult. I'm going to have a very disappointed lady on my hands when she gets home and it's still not working. It's awful to get something in the post and have all the technical skills to make it talk, but be pipped at the post on one stupid thing because of not being able to read the screen. Barry.
