Re: I'm fed up. I need help badly.
Loy
My opinion would be to do a totally fresh install
of Windows 10,If you have your office product key you should be able to download
the program from the Microsoft store to reinstall it. and you can redownload the
JAWS versions you have licenses for. Another option might be to reset Windows 10
and choose to save your data, but with all the problems you are having there
must be some big time file corruption's, or hardware problems.

Subject: [TechTalk] I'm fed up. I need help badly. Hi all, I have mentioned this computer and the problems it has before. I am ready to trash it. For example, it will not update. Microsoft could not make it update. When I try to install a program, like jaws for example, the program will not install. I am authorized for jaws 19 20 and 21, but they won’t install. Neither will any other program. Every time I try to install a program, I hear jaws say. The install has failed. My outlook program is not working correctly either. Spell check is all messed up. It is outlook 10. I have tried to do a system restore, but it will not go back to an earlier restore point. So, I want to know if any ideas I have will work, If I go back to factory settings, on this dell, and then try to set up my computer, will it at like a new computer, eliminating all the mess I now have? And how can I hold on to the programs on here, that I want to keep, like my office small business edition? This is a windows ten computer, at least it says it is, and I am running jaws 18. So if you can help please do. Jim

Amazon Alexa Question
Shelly Kane
Hi Group:
I have been using the echo dot for almost 4 years and have never had any problems. Since yesterday, I have noticed that Alexa sounds lower than usual and a bit staticky at times. I didn't do anything differently and we unplugged her and then plugged it back in and that didn't work. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I use it quite a bit and hope that I don't need a new one. Shelly

No guys,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I am so sorry if my message has not been clear. I cannot use a prebuild amazon cable. A prebuild cable is going to be extremely difficult to pass through the phone pipes and structure of my home. I am trying to wire my home. I have tons of those cables from amazon and Walmart. However, these cables are not going to fix the problem, my problem.I need to pass these cables through phone pipes, and the structure of a house. Not behind the bed. ,

Re: Making Ethernet cables
Pablo Morales
Yes, it is true. However, what I am trying to do is not to make a short or exposed cable between 2 or X devices. I am trying to pass the Ethernet Cable through my home, inside the home structure as the phone cable is in every room. Using the prebuild ethernet cable that we can buy on Amazon could be a problem also since we are not going to know what is the presise distance or path that the cable should pass before getting to the point where we have the ethernet jack. Additionally, the size of the RJ-45 adapters could make the process more difficult. It is why I am trying to find a way to install the RJ-45 on the ethernet cables that I already have installed through my home. According with videos that I have listening on YouTube, it sounds very easy for someone who can see the cables and who is able to have the precision to keep the thing cables on the right spot until the clip covers the RJ-45 adapter. However, we, the blind community always are finding ways to do things that sighted people also do. It is why I was asking here if here was anybody with experience about that been blind.

Hi Pablo,
No, I do not know any blind or low vision person who has made these cables. These cables are so cheap these days, now that wireless is here in such a big way, that I’m sure you could buy them already made up for pennies a foot. Evenanold dinosaur like my self, has sent many meters of these to the recycle center. You could probably find some at a recycle center.
From: main@TechTalk.groups.io <main@TechTalk.groups.io> On Behalf Of Pablo Morales
Hello all,
I am wondering if, anyone here being totally blind has been able to install a RJ 45 adapters on a ethernet cable I think that it might be very difficult. I guess that a tester could be needed to identify the cable colors. Nevertheless, I think that the worse part is placing the little cables on the adapter in the correct order without putting anyone on the wrong place. Has anyone able to work on this? Would you like to share your experience?
Thanks in advance to all,
Pablo Morales
