Hi all:

The brag app used to be lovely for extracting text but that went bye bye. Are there any alternatives that are being used?

Re: Accessible free PC driver upgrade software

Brian Vogel <britechguy@...>
 

Fanus,

           The issue you're having sometimes occurs, and no one ever really knows why (and I'm sure the actual underlying causes are myriad).  What I suggest is following these instructions: Doing a Windows 10 Repair Install or Feature Update Using the Windows 10 ISO file

            And if you want to be "very strict" with your machine during that process, make sure it's not connected to the internet.  When you have the ISO file you already have all of the essential components needed to do the repair install or feature update.  If there are additional updates that were put in place after Microsoft issued the ISO file then those will be applied via the normal Windows Update process after you again establish internet connectivity.

Hello Brian

Thanks, I hear what you say. The strange thing is that my PC says it wants to upgrade and then it says its going to restart but after the restart it says it could not finish the update, please turn off the pc while the update is cancelled. I am connected to the pc via an ethernet cable to my modem, so internet is available, so I do not know what the problem might be. I was hoping that if the pc could update it would solve my USB problem.

Regards

Fanus

Third-party driver updaters are to be avoided like the plague.  There are only three safe sources of driver updates, and "safe" does not mean there may not be an occasional problem, just that your machine will not have any likelihood of getting something you really don't want like malware, adware, viruses, etc.:

1. Windows Update

2. Your computer manufacturer's support pages, driver's and downloads section, or driver updater software they supply, e.g., HP Support Assistant, Toshiba Service Station, and similar.

3. A specific component in your computer's manufacturer, on its support pages or via its driver updater software, e.g., Intel Driver and Support Assistant.

No.

If you are comfortable with dealing with registry exports and imports it is possible to export the Outlook account settings from the registry and import them on another machine.  Otherwise you go through the account setup process again, and since it's pretty much fully automated these days it really isn't difficult nor does it take long.

I am going to need some direction about putting the card in
the computer. I have a friend, and I think she might be able
to help me do that. When my 128 one comes, I'll do that and
get the books on it.

You might want to check the switch on the side of your sd
card. It's just a sliding switch, and sometimes they get
changed when you're pulling it out of the streem.

Hi Gene,

I have beenusing the Victor Stream for about 11 years.
It just happens.
Once in a while the little slider on the edge of a s d
card gets
bumped into the write-protect position.
Remove the card from the stream or pc and slide it back to
the off
position.
All will be fine.

Do you get any sort of message such as a right protected

I wonder if those cards can be set to be right protected or
if that is
a sign of a defective card as it is a sign of a defective
thumb drive.

Or, if you get an access denied message, that may be solved
by changing
permission settings for the card, but I haven't learned
muchof anything

You may be able to find a very accessible driver software DVD as well as an online installation utility on the BHP site. I would request you to be very careful while proceeding with this utility since it tends to install a lot of other unwanted things as well.

Re: Desktop pc with jaws

Hi Allen and Group!

I have been running jaws on a system with a 29.1 GHB processor and 4 GB ram for 5 to 6 years now, and haven't really experienced any sort of slowness or other problems.  The only thing that I notice is that it tends to be a bit slow on booting up and starting jaws.  I am running Win 10 with the latest updates and the system just keeps on keeping on<SMILE!>.  Of course I hope to double my ram at the very least in the not to distant future.  I strongly suspect that if I had 8 to 12 GHB that I would have the ultimate machine! Just another opinion for whatever it may be worth. Good Luck and Have A Good 1!
