I suggest you type “belarc advisor download” in your web search, download and run it.
It gives all kinds of hardware and software info including key codes and serial numbers of installed programs including windows.n

Re: How much physical RAM can a laptop hold?

It isn't the correct spellling. It should
be:
People shouldn't write links from memory unless
they are absolutely sure they are correct and even then, checking them by doing
a search first would often be a good idea. It isn't just a question of
minor inconvenience these days. Criminals buy domains with very similar
names to popular sites. They try to catch people who make typing
errors. The fraudulent sites look like the real ones and try to get people
to give personal information they can use for identity theft or the improper
link takes you to a site that tries to place malware on the computer.
And if people do write links, and make sure they
are correct before writing them, they should check the link, letter by letter
before sending the message to ensure that there are no typing
errors.

finding podcasts when you're not sure of the spelling
Troy Burnham
Hi all,
I just saw a podcast mentioned on twitter on my iPhone that I'm interested in but I'm not sure of the spelling so I'm not sure how to find it. On twitter the name is "at 12 6 podcast", it's a baseball podcast, so how can I either verify the spelling or find it some other way? Btw I'll be using my 2nd generation Victor reader stream to find it if that matters, and it is mentioned that the podcast is available through both iTunes and Spodify but I don't subscribe to either one of those. Thanks. Troy

Re: downloading Jaws 2019
Gene
There is a good reason to keep an older version
when you update to a newer one. If you try a new full update and find a
bug or an area where it doesn't work as well as the version you were using, you
can use the version you left on your machine for that purpose. Many people
leave the version they were using on their machines until they have used the new
version enough to know if there are any deficiencies or bugs. I consider
that to be an advantage of JAWS over the other screen-readers I've tried or used
and use now.

Re: How much physical RAM can a laptop hold?

Dear Keith & List:
Contact HP. Give them your laptop model and serial number. They can advise how much RAM it can use.
I upgraded this laptop from eight to 16 GB, does not seem to speed it up much but should. Depending upon the age of your laptop, it may be advisable to scrap it and buy a new one.
Have a Dell Mobile Workstation I loaded up with 64 GB of RAM. Figure that should let it survive several updates to Windows without running out of RAM. Brian K. Lingard

Hi, How can I go about figuring out how much physical RAM my HP laptop can hold? I know the motherboard determines this, but do not know how to find this information out. Currently, my laptop is very, very slow, as a member of this group can attest to (we connected to each other's computers through a tandem feature and he even commented on the slowness. This makes learning Jaws and windows 10 very frustrating and tedious. Thanks for any info

Re: downloading Jaws 2019
Gene
I would think using the disk might save some
time. Others who use JAWS may wish to comment. I haven't used JAWS
to any extent for years and I'm speculating about the following:
When you install a new full version of JAWS, it
installs a version of I believe its Fine Reader to work with its OCR
feature. This is a large enough installation that the download may take a
fair amount of time. On the disk, the Fine Reader version should already
be there, thus saving time, perhaps enough to amount to something unless you
have a fast connection.
Also, on a list recently, I saw a message that all
the instructional information is installed from the Cd, whereas if you download
JAWS, you have to install whatever you want separately.

Thanks for the detailed information.
I'll send it to my friend.
I don't know if this can be done because I would
expect scanners to have different procedures, but if I sent the brand and model

scanners as to where controls are and what the procedure is?
I don't know if this will be possible, if it can be

Preprogrammed SD cards sell for a reasonable price. If your friend goes out of town, they can carry a preprogrammed SD card for where they are going.
Some scanners can be modified to receive additional trunked radio types. Each modification is typically $20.

Re: What brand of Windows laptop to buy?

Yes, people shouldn't buy the cheapest
computer. One way to proceed is to tell the list what you will use the
computer for and if you anticipate other uses in the future and people may
recommend specifications or specific computers.
Also, there are buying guides that give general
information about what to look for, depending on how you are going to use the
computer. I may send a link to one tomorrow.

In my experience, after using the CD to install Jaws, it will come up and say updates are available do you want to download and install them?

You said that you received a CD in the mail. Is it the CD for JAWS 2019? If it is and if the process of downloading a file is too daunting then you could just insert the CD into your computer's CD drive and install JAWS 2019 from that disk. However, my guess is that the CD may contain a slightly older version of JAWS 2019 which was released in October and the link that I pointed to in my last message contains a more recent version of 2019 which was released in December. If you feel that you're able to download and install the file from Freedom Scientific's Web site it might be better to do that since you'll be starting out with the very latest version.
