a propos of Vista, Is there anyone on the list who can give me a list of useful shortcut key-strokes for Vista, or a lead on where I may obtain such a thing as I have a student whom I am helping to get to gript with the vagueries of this new system - just another few bricks on the cognative load after a bad assessment.
Many thanks. At 19:57 06/03/2008, you wrote:
Afterthought Marvin you say your parents are novices if they have not used any computer before Vista will be all they know, I think there is a list of Vista users somewhere. however a couple or more issues ago Computer Active Magazine had a feature article on Vista, one article was dedicated to people with Disabilities, even Toggle Magnification was mentioned and how many people who are VIPs need black screen. One other feature was it said was improved narrator in fact you get Male and Female Narrator, I guess youcan get a back copy of the Mag, I get mine from TNauk, they were looking at thegood points and not so good points of Vista, of course any Vista user on this page can say Yes Narrator is better or TNAUK speaks with forked tongue smile as they say. Badger tried some of their so called goodies and found them lacking.Regards Dorothy Ps did you want your parents to know what Jaws sounded like? or are you thinking ahead in case they may one day really need it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marvin Hunkin" <startrekcafe@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 12:39 AM Subject: [jaws-uk] Computer QuestionsHi. okay, trying to help my parents out with my dad's laptop, that he bought and a acer machine. what happened, is that we are with lizzy, http://www.lizzy.com.au and he got windows vista, and i was trying to help them to try to find their mail, and found it in windows mail. now, i installed the 40 minute demo of jaws 9, and used narrator to install jaws. now, my dad uninstalled jaws, once i found where their missing messages were in windows mail. now, my dad uninstalled jaws 9, and they are computer novices, and not really sure what they are doing. now, wonder if my dad uninstalled jaws, and accidentally clicked on remove, all shared components and now, for some stupid reason, it is harder for them to get on the net, and popup boxes, when mum trying to go forward, back, etc. and now, other tasks, like trying to get on the net, opening programs, so much more complex, and in the end, they give up, because of this change system, and so slow with dial up. so was wondering, using narrator, is there a option to roll back to a previous setting , and installed jaws 9 demo for vista, end of January or beginning of Febuary. where is it, how to do that, and get it back, so it is so much more easier for my parents to use. asking on behalf and trying to help them out as a blind person. and is there any beginner basic tutorials on how to use basic features of vista, internet explorer 7, and windows mail, they are not computer literate or computer savy, on how to use say for example, the new internet explorer 7 tabs, how to get their windows mail, and how to navigate in windows vista. if you can help me out, i feel it is my fault, that their computer system has changed and maybe i should have not installed jaws 9 on to vista. also another question, should i turn off the user authentication control, where it adds extra security or not? and got any chepa broadband plans, say like switching from dial up, as my brother set up it up for us, or go to broadband? if you can help, or my parents might have to ask my brother, which he helped him out the last time. cheers Marvin. -- Check out my home page at http://startrekcafe.stevesdomain.net/ Check out my Jaws Australia group at http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/JawsOz/ ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq]** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
