hi, Usually a minimum of 4 gb. Generally, double what your pc comes
with on it's max specs. Your manual should have the info.

How much physical RAM can a laptop hold?
Keith S
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: Having Trouble Opening DropBox

Hi Steve,

Yes that is what I'm saying. However, I am able to start it from the systray. A friend of mine showed me how to do that. If I never can get it to start from the desktop (as I'm used to doing), then I can run it via systray. But, if you have any other ideas, you know my ears are open.

When Dropbox.EXE runs for the first time, either at system start or by your own hand, it runs in the background and does all its consistency and update checks. When you run it the second time, it opens your Dropbox home directory. That's the /HOME switch on the command that's executed from either the Desktop icon or from Windows Search. Are you saying that Dropbox just never opens its home folder, no matter how many times you execute the command?

Another thought just came to me. Have you tried opening your Dropbox home directory from the system tray icon? It's one of the choices on the menu you get when you press ENTER on the one and only menu choice, called "Open Dropbox folder."

spell check in Word 2010
Vicki W
I am using Word 2010 and am having an issue with
the spell check.
It will give me the word that is incorrect, but no
option to add to dictionary, change spelling, ignore, etc.
Where can I find any options that I need to change
the spell checker settings or how can I correct this problem?
Thank you.
Vicki

Re: Amazon Echo, which version and generation
Hi Travis,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I was just looking at the Alexa deals tonight and noticed that they had a second generation echo dot on sale for about $30. The website for looking at the Echo Dot is Amazon.com/Alexa deals. I would be more than happy to assist you with setting it up :-) feel free to call or text me with any questions that you may have. Ashley Breger

Re: Amazon Echo, which version and generation
The Bluetooth on the echo is more so that you can pair up your phone or whatever mobile device you have the Alexa app on for better sound quality. It can also be used to pair Bluetooth trackers such as Fitbit’s so that you can check your stats on Alexa however the only downside is that you must open the Fitbit app in order to sync your device at least once that day before checking it on her.

Re: disabling the touch pad on hp laptop
Marie <scribbles5@...>
t may depend on the manufactor of the laptop. Some, like my Asus only
require the FN key plus the f9 to toggle it off and on which is very handy. But
I had one laptop which required going into device manager and totally disabling
the driver for the touchpad. On some you can go into devices in the Setting and
toggle it off or on. So there is no one answer fits all.

Re: Amazon Echo, which version and generation
Marie <scribbles5@...>
I have the Echo and one first gen dot and one second gen dot. I can tell little or no difference between the first and the second but the Echo has better sound than either of the Dots. I do hear that the third gen Dot has better sound than the first two. I had some older wired computer speakers which I connect to the dots and they sound terrific.

I know we have a couple echo I own two of the second generation echo dots which are very nice as you can pair up a Bluetooth device fairly easily through the Alexa app. However the third generation speaker has better sound quality. Hope this helps, dots Ashley Breger

Re: chrome help needed jaws speaking things in address bar/omnibox even though it is turned off
Gene
I asked because when I see suggestions in Chrome,
it tells where they come from such as suggestion from history or suggestion from
book mark. I don't know if they always do, I don't use Chrome much and I
usually don't let the Omnibox bar talk until completion. But if you hear
such information, as you do, it may tell people who know more about Chrome
settings what should be turned off.

What sort of things does it say if you stop typing and let it speak? I don't know if that information might be useful but it might. In other words, let's say you type two or three letters and then JAWS starts to speak. If you let it speak, what does it say? Then if you type another lett or two, what does it say?

Hi, as I start to type Jaws will start to speak I turned off predictive and auto fill in settings and search suggestions it still will speak how do I fix this?
