I may very well need specific instructions because I really do not know how
to transfer without the companion, but there is one hurtle to get past, I
think, before those specific instructions would help. The hurtle is that when
I
open up "my computer" with the Stream connected or if it is already opened up
and I then connect the Stream everything freezes up. JAWS will read tab when
I press that, but it will not read anything else on the screen to me. I can't
cut and paste anything if I can't tell where it is. That is why the
technical support guys at Humanware gave up at that point and said that they
would
have to consult with someone else and call me back. I don't know how the
consultation went, but they never got around to calling me back. In a message

Hi all,
Roger, no, don't use the Stream Companion software. It's a very nice
tool, but it can get flaky unless you know what you're doing. Before
you know that, you have to understand how to transfer stuff from your
computer to the Stream. The Companion software only works if you
understand that concept.
The reason the Companion software just sat there was because it was
looking for books on your computer, not on what it considers to be a
peripheral, your DVD or CD. You need to tell it where to look. Your
computer considers your DVD to be a separate drive, so you need to tell
the Companion sofrware where to look for your books.
Sometimes it's just easier to do things manually. It's often faster, too.
I'd just cut and paste, using My Computer. If you need specific
directions, write me privately.
