If you haven’t already used the command line method (like you stated in an earlier message), you will need to use a third party utility such as the one shared below to successfully format the drive to FAT32.

Ridgecrop Consultants Ltd:

http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

The link upon this page that you are going to want to use is titled:

Click to download guiformat.exe

This is portable software so it will not install anything to your machine.

Windows will ask you if you want to run the file. Click yes. It will ask you if you want to allow it to have (Admin) access to your computer. Click yes.

The program will start. Select a drive to format. Click Start. Your drive should be formatted in a few seconds

In the "FAT32 Format" window, select the drive to format and type a volume label if you want to. Select the " Quick Format " option, and then click the "Start" button. A window pops up to warn you that all data on the drive will be lost. Click "OK" to format the drive. Formatting with this tool is much quicker than the command line method. One thing to note here: you'll need to close any open File Explorer windows before you format the drive. If you don't, the tool will interpret the drive as being used by another app and formatting will fail. If this happens to you, just close the File Explorer windows and try again. No need to relaunch the tool or anything.

I recently got a 128gb SDXC card for my Clip Zip with Rockbox, and I formatted it in Windows 10 as XFAT as the only 2 choices were NTFS and XFAT for the file system.  It appears that the Clip doesn’t recognize the card.  Any thoughts or personal experiences regarding using a 128gb SD card with the Clip?  Thanks for your help.

The subject says it all.

Free audiobook, “Meet Me Accessibly – A Guide to Zoom Cloud Meetings from a Blindness Perspective”

Meet Me Accessibly, a guide to Zoom Cloud Meetings from a blindness perspective

If you attend meetings online, you’ve probably heard of Zoom Cloud Meetings. They’re now the platform of choice for 50% of the Fortune 50 companies, and are used by many universities worldwide.

Zoom Cloud Meetings are just as popular with small businesses and community groups as well, offering a generous set of features absolutely free, and even more power for a small monthly fee.

If by chance you’ve not heard of Zoom Cloud Meetings, then you’re missing out on one of the most powerful online meeting solutions around. And you know what’s really cool? The accessibility of its apps and website are excellent. Bid those days of frustrating, inaccessible, fiddly collaboration and content sharing tools goodbye.

Meet Me Accessibly is a three-hour audiobook, written and narrated by Jonathan Mosen. It takes you from the basics of attending your first Zoom meeting, all the way to content sharing of your video and audio from a computer or iDevice.

Just some of the things Jonathan shows you in Meet Me Accessibly include:

• Attending your first Zoom meeting
• Working with and configuring the Windows client
• Working with and configuring the iOS client
• Creating compelling and effective online meetings of up to 100 participants for discussions or webinars
• Using Zoom to have a sighted person take control of your computer, even a Mac user can control a Windows PC and vice versa
• Running visually attractive presentations using PowerPoint, or by sharing the output of any application on your computer
• Using the high-quality, low-latency audio capabilities of Zoom for one-on-one conversations
• Holding global Internet and telephone conferences
• Taking advantage of the exceptional audio for use in a podcast, including creating separate audio files for every participant for use in a multitrack editor such as Amadeus Pro or Reaper
• Recording meetings and podcast interviews on your iPhone, thanks to the Zoom cloud recording capability
• Recording top-quality tech demonstrations thanks to the easy-to-use ability for Zoom to capture your computer’s sound
• Sharing the screen and audio from apps on your iDevice
• Enabling stereo audio
• Turning off Zoom’s audio processing for pure, top-quality sound
• Scheduling meetings
• Holding instant meetings
• Using your personal meeting ID

As you can see, there’s so much that Zoom can do, you’ll wonder how you lived without it.

In Meet Me Accessibly, Jonathan uses JAWS for Windows, the world’s most used screen reader when working with Windows. When discussing Zoom’s mobile offerings, he uses an iPhone running VoiceOver, the screen reader built into all iOS products. But the user interface of Zoom adheres closely to accessibility standards, so even if you use a different platform or screen reader, you should still be able to glean much from the demonstrations and descriptions.

Download Meet Me Accessibly free

To help any blind person who may need to telecommute during the COVID-19 outbreak, we have made Meet Me Accessibly free to download. You may distribute it for download anywhere, as long as the files are not modified in any way.

When you download, you get a zip file with the book divided into 19 MP3 files to make it easy to get to the sections you want. An included M3U playlist allows you to easily play the book from beginning to end. We’ve taken care to number the files sequentially, so the book imports beautifully into Voice Dream Reader on an iDevice.

Download Meet Me Accessibly free.

Free JAWS scripts

Hartgen Consultancy have produced free JAWS scripts which enhance the Zoom Cloud Meeting experience even further. Download the free JAWS scripts.

We wish you health, safety, and very frequently-washed hands during these challenging times.

Hi Lynn,

 

I don't know how far back you went with your system restore but, is it possible your computer is reinstalling updates?

Well, after I did the restore point, now the computer appears to have died.  So, on to another options.

I just got a message on my laptop which is running Windows 10 that I can’t connect to the Internet.

It looks like there is a driver failure in the wireless card.  Any solution as to how this can be fixed?  Thanks.

Hi Mike,

No doubt.  When I look into the sys tray, it shows no internet connection available.  All my other machines are working.

Thanks for the suggestion.
