Hi Roger,
I know that this message is a bit late, but I navigate in a way that
is different from what people have told you to do, because, for some unknown
computer crazy reason, my computer doesn't like to do the alt-tab thing and
resume proper focus. Perhaps this is your problem too? If you don't mind
another suggestion, you can try the following. If you do mind, by all
means, delete this message!
Copy the file you want to put onto your card to the clipboard
Plug in your card reader
Go to my computer to make sure that the card reader and the card show up by
hitting enter on the drive letter of the card reader and making sure that
what is on your flash card is what you think it should be.
Go ahead and close "my computer."
Now, to paste to the card, which is where I have to do things differently
than everyone else seems to have to do.
Go to the taskbar by going first to the desktop, then tabbing twice which
will sit you on the taskbar
Right arrow until you see the letter of your removable drive.
Hit enter there.
Now you should see a list of the folders on the card
Hit enter on the folder that you want to paste your file into. This might
take a couple of enters if your folder is more than one level deep. Once
the desired folder is open, press and hold the control key and then the
letter v to paste your copied file or files into that folder.
Windows should tell you that it is copying.
I do the copy and paste thing this way because I can't always altTab into a
window and have the focus be right, or the paste command achieve what I want
it to that way. I don't have a problem when I do what I have described.
Good luck, and sorry if this has been more useless help.
Mayrie

It's not working. I have the card reader plugged up with the card in it. I
have gone to "my computer" and followed the links to the Bookshare file I
want to transfer. I then did a control c. Then I alt tabbed. I returned to
this email. I alt tabbed again and I went back to the file I was trying to
transfer. I tried doing the control c and navigating back to "my computer"
to do the pasting there, but I cannot find what I am supposed to transfer
to. Where am I going wrong? In a message dated 8/17/2008 1:19:26 P.M.

Hi Roger, and Everyone,
You have the instructions correct, accept for the fact that after
you alt-tab to your card window, and you will see your Stream folders on
that card, you need to find the folder you want to put that file in, and
then you do a control-V to paste it in that folder. Now, once this process
has been done, and you have put all your files on the card, that you want,
please follow my next instructions.
It is very important to follow these next instructions, when you
have finished copying files on the card, and you want to put it back in the
Stream to listen to your BookShare books.
1. Backspace once so that you are in the "my computer" window.
2. You should have your cursor on the drive letter of your SD card.
3. Press the context menu button, which is to the left, of your
right control key.
4. Arrow down until you hear the word "Eject."
5. Press Enter.
6. Do an Alt-F4 to close that window.
7. Now you can remove your card reader with the SD card in it from
your computer.
We might be gone fishing! Depending on the wind, so if you call me
on my cell, I'll be in the boat, I hope! <grin> lol.
If we catch lots of fish, we'll have a fish fry tonight! You are all
invited! <grin> lol. I have potato salad, and even a Roast is cooking in the
crockpot. We'll be serving cold drinks as well! <grin> lol.
Bring your favorite BookShare book! <grin> lol.
Oh, I wonder if we can fit everyone in the boat! <grin> lol.

Okay everyone, I seem to have found it. I had it there all
along, but I did not know that it was a card reader. I am making some
definite progress. I just talked to Pat on the phone and she instructed me
on how to insert the card and she was going on to walk me through the rest
of the transfer process. Unfortunately, though, I was unable to find the USB
port to plug it into. That is caused by the simple fact of not plugging
things into USB ports much in the past and my lack of eyesight. I should be
able to get past that hurtle in the late afternoon or early evening when
someone who can see gets here to physically show me. Now, someone might post
specific instructions to me as to what to do next. I think I have it, but I
have not actually done it so I might be missing something. If I understand
correctly I open up "my computer" and select the file I want to transfer
with the arrow keys. I then do a control C to add it to the clip board. Then
I alt tab and I should see something that tells me that I am connected to
the SD card. Then I select the file on the card I want to put it on and do a
control V. If I understand correctly the task has then been accomplished. If
I am missing something let me know. And remember, I am a computer illiterate
-- well, almost; I have been learning a lot lately -- so answer me as if I
am a complete idiot. In a message dated 8/17/2008 11:27:04 A.M. Pacific

Hi Everyone!
Roger Baily already has a card reader which
he purchased from us when he purchased the Victor Reader Stream. He
shouldn't need another one. It is labeled in braille.

You might, but I don't know if our
local Walmart has them. I usually bought mine at Best Buy and office max.
Mine were $20

Roger,
The price is between
$10 and $35, I believe.
