I believe a cd comes in the JAWS walet containing getting started information. That might be the easiest way to listen to the material we have been discussing. I believe that, depending on whether you already had an earlier version of JAWS, you should have received a container with two or three cds. You may or may not have received an authorization cd, and my recollection is that you should receive a getting started cd and a program installation cd. I believe the getting started cd will play in any cd player or in any computer capable of playing standard cds intended for cd players.

Do you have a cd for JAWS 9?If you installed the training material, you can find the isection using the demo JAWS Daisey reader already on your machine. If you don't have the help installed or would rather listen using a different player, you can downloadan mp3 training file from the Freedom Scientific site. Go to http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/training/training-downloads.asp#jawsmp3 and look for a link that says Introduction to Windows Vista (MP3 49.5MB). Make sure it does not say daisy in the link. Download the file, extract the files and start with the first one. As I recall, the download will be a zip folder. I believe it begins or almost immediately demonstrates installing JAWS. Working with UAC is demonstrated during the discussion.Or if you know how to use JAWS help, try using the index to look up uac or the search part of JAWS help. I haven't looked at the help so I don't knowwhat you might find.

Where can I go to learn it?----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene" <gsasner@xxxxxxxxx>To: <accesscomp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 9:29 PM Subject: [accesscomp] Re: questionIs that all the dialog says? How did you read it? Did you use the screen-reader command to read the dialog or are you relying on your screen-reader just automatically reading a sentence when the dialog opens. Vista has a feature named UAC, User Account Control that asks you every time you take a potentially harmful action that makes changes to Windows in someway whether you want to do this and I believe the UAC message always sayssomething about administrative priveleges to make a change. If you haven'tdone so, read the full dialog and see if buttons are present to allow youtocontinue, cancel, etc. If you don't know about UAC or understand what itdoes, you need to learn about it because it is an integral part of security in Vista. If you already know about UAC and have seen that dialog before and this one is different, let the list know. If you need information about UAC, thoseon the list who use Vista may be able to provide better information thanI can. If not enough people on the list use UAC to give you good information,it can be gotten from the JAWS training material and is just as relevantand applicable whether you use JAWS or not. this is a Windows feature with Windows commands, not screen-reader commands, for working with it.Everything in the JAWS training material describing how to work with UACapplies just as much regardless of what screen-reader you use.
