Hi again friends,

Since it has come to light that Windows Media Player is being used to play this video, I am wondering what version of WMP is being used by those of you who have been able to get it to play???

I am using WMP 11, Internet Explorer 7, JAWS 9 (latest release) and Windows XP Home. I am now thinking it may be a problem with WMP 11, since we discovered, some time ago, that it was causing the problem with JAWS not reporting the Copy and Cut commands.

   I look forward to hearing your feedback.

   Don

Hi Kelly,

Yes, I just checked it and the shockwavv flash plug-in is definitely enabled, but still no luck.

Is Flash by chance disabled on your system. After you go to this web page,
if the video doesn't play, choose the tools menu, then manage add-ons and
finally enable or disable add-ons. Do you see the entry for shockwavv flash object? Does it show as enabled? If not use the radio button to enable it.

I tried this with and without JAWS on IE7 and it worked here.

Hi Don,
I clicked on your link 3 times and the video began playing each time. Using
Jaws 9 here--not the current but the earlier release of Jaws 9 and I E 7.
After the video began playing I at first had no controle of the virtual
cursor but routed the Jaws cursor to the P C cursor and virtual P C cursor
controle returned and I could arrow through all the 500 plus links though
needless to say I only tried a few but see no reason why the others would
not have worked. Significantly though, the video clip did work.

Hi Don.  I was able to hear the video.  But, I had trouble with the page.
My system became very sluggish while the video was running. I didn't think the virtual PC cursor was working so I went to the Jaws cursor. Surprising that I could move through all the links on that page with the Jaws cursor,
and there are a lot.  But, the position of the Jaws cursor hardly moved
while doing this.

I thought the video was probably slowing my system down so I tried stopping it with escape which worked. Then I was able to get the virtual pc cursor working. I found some clickable volume and transport controls at the bottom

of the page.  Slash and shift slash would move between these clickable
elements but they don't show up in the clickable elements list
insert+control+slash.

See if you can find the play/pause element at the bottom of the page.

I wonder what player is being used.

At first, I thought it was bypassing the windows mixer because I couldn't
adjust the volume.  Then I remembered that my default sound device is the
SRS Sandbox so the system sounds and videos were going through that mixer
which happened to be set very low.

Bob

Hi list,

   I had a strange thing happen this morning. A friend sent me the
following link to listen to the audio of a video clip from a TV station.
When I clicked on the link, I got the web page but I didn't get the video.

I have now contacted 3 other JAWS users, all of whom are using JAWS 9.0

(latest update) and XP Home, as am I. However, 2 of them are using IE 6
and the clip played fine for them, but 2 of us are using IE 7 and we can't

get the clip to play.

   The link for the clip is:

   Hope someone can help.
