Well unfortunately my podcatcher's domain has closed, and I have attempted to use Juice with windows 7 but it says it can't find episodes of my podcasts. So I'm wondering a couple things: what good basic podcatchers might still be out there for Windows 7 users?

 

And next question: I'd rather not have to do this, but if nothing out there is real accessible anymore, has anyone tried using iTunes as a podcatcher for windows? I mean can iTunes even do this--simply downloading and trying to find them and then putting them in a folder for playing in winamp?

 

I hope someone can help. I'm glad I have a Victor Stream for downloading them, but I'd like to download them to my computer and hope there's a Jaws-friendly way to do this.

Hi All,
I have been asked to help someone reinstall Win10, because he locked
himself out and forgot his password for his MS account as well as his

need an 8 or sixteen GB flash drive. How is this sent to the drive? I
would like to know before I try it.

Hi Troy!

I have the answer to stop all of this!

On the settings page, press enter on Advanced settings.

Next, press enter on Content settings.

You have a list of notifications that are listed once, what they do, then the notification is listed again as a button.

Press enter on the button choice, to open up the choices for that notification.

Here is an example you will see on the content settings.

Location!

Ask if Chrome should use your location.

Notification.

Press enter on the second location.

Now, there will be a choice to press the spacebar on the choice, to not ask you if Chrome should use your location.

There are many of these where you will have to do the same thing, if you do not want Chrome asking you.

Some of these, though, you might want Chrome to ask you if it should use certain apps.

For example, there is another content setting that says:

Mike

Ask to use mike in Chrome

Mike

You have to press enter on mike, then choose the choice with the spacebar to not ask you in Chrome.

The thing is, I would not want Chrome to use my microphone without knowing it.

These are the notifications you are getting on web pages.

To go to settings, press the alt key,

Up-arrow to settings, and press enter.

A web like page will open where each setting category is a heading.

The last heading on the page is Advanced.

It is closed, so press enter on that to open all of these advanced settings.

Then, there is a heading called Content settings on the Advanced settings page.

That is what you want, so press enter on content settings.

Then, like I explained above, enter on the second time it says the notification; JAWS will say button, and decide if you want Chrome to ask you or not if it can do something.

Take care, Troy, and I really hope this helps.

Let me know how this works out for you!

David Moore

Subject: [TechTalk] google chrome notifications on my task bar

 

Hi all,

 

 

I've been getting notifications popping up on my task bar the past few

days, I assume from google chrome, and I want to get rid of them.

 

 

Recently when I load a web page I'll get an allow button and a block

button, and I've been hitting the allow button thinking that if I didn't

the page might not load completely and show me what I want to read, and

I suspect that's what started these notifications but I'm not sure. 

They are notifications of news headlines and things like that, some of

the same stuff that I might get on my phone.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

 

 

Troy

Hi, Rhonda, Brian Zolo here in Gahanna, Ohio. You can go to
support.dell.com and go to the drivers and downloads page to check
for updates for your Dell. You're going to need your machine's
service tag to do this. The service tag can be found on the bottom
of your laptop but there's an easier way to get that information.
What version of windows are you using? You need to get to your
command line. You can do this by hitting your windows key plus
the letter r and then type in cmd and then hit enter. You then be
placed at your c:\users\whatever your user name directory is and
then you will have to type cd\ and then hit enter which will then
take you to your root directory. Then you will type wmic bios get
serialnumber and then press enter. That will get your laptop's
serial number for you and then you can put that serial number in
on the support.dell.com web page and it will then show you what
updates are available for your machine. If you need assistance
doing this, don't hesitate to get in touch with me and I'll be

and I'll be happy to assist you. A bios update certainly might
fix this but you may have a problem with your battery. Let me know if I can assist you further. Have a great day!

Help Needed Please
I have a Dell Laptop.
When I look in my system tray, the status of battery power is reading
0% available plugged-in not charging.
So my daughter did a search and got this on how to solve the problem.
How to fix the problem 'plugged in not charging' on my Dell
Inspiron laptop
- Quora

Try the following and hope that it fixes.

Check if there’s any BIOS update available related to battery for
your laptop model.Download and try to update



Where do I find this information?

model.Download and try to update but before updating perform
below
steps:-

list of 9 items
• Power off the system.
• Disconnect any external peripherals (flash drives, printers,
external hard
drives) from the computer.
• Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the battery from it.
• Press and hold the power button for 20 to 30 seconds to release
the residual charge from the laptop.
• Reconnect the battery and the AC Adapter.
• Once the system is powered on and booted properly, re-seat the
battery.
Check if you still get the error or not.
• Boot the system to BIOS, tapping the F2 key on the Dell logo
screen when you power on the system.
• Press F9 key to load BIOS defaults. Once done, press F10 key to
save and exit. System will restart. Check if the error is still there.
• Try and wiggle the AC Adapter cable and check if that makes a
difference.
list end

Alternatively, you could also try below steps:-

list of 7 items
• With above 20% battery left,unplug the power cord from both
laptop and wall outlet.
• Open the bottom cover and Remove the battery • Dry Wipe the
battery connectors with a clean cloth several times.
• Put the battery back in and cover, • Turn the laptop on with
battery only.
• Now plug power cord into side of laptop, then into wall outlet.
• Check if it returns to charging state.
list end
Still not getting any charge.
Battery is now at 0%.
