Hi. Actually, you don't need sighted help to get into the remote desktop session, if I may say so. If you hit options from the connection screen, (the screen where you enter the server name or IP address), you can enter a username and password, then click connect. The system will connect, give the server your entered username and password, and you'll hear the windows login sound, if any. You will then be on the desktop of the remote machine. If you have Jaws starting up, Jaws will start automatically on the server and things will be talking. If you don't, you'll have to run Jaws on the server and you should have the system talking.

A few things I have found. after you go to start, programs, accessories, communications, remote desktop and put in the name or ip address of the computer you wish to connect to, you pretty much need sighted help until you are logged on to the server. WHen trying to connect from home, it takes considerably longer for jaws to connect. I wish there was a way to know what was on the screen when you first try to connect. anyway, I am sure it will improve, it is way better than nothing and that is what we had before. I am really glad to have it it makes life so much easier. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
