Hi Duke,

 

I've rewritten the steps and these steps are more accurate.  I tested themseveral times to make sure.

Here you go:
In your Gmail account settings, have you enabled the use of less secure apps? If you were to create a new Gmail account today and tried to set the account
up in the Outlook desktop app for instance, it would be blocked until you allowed the use of less secure apps. As for the exact process, here are the steps
if you are using the basic html setting in the online Gmail interface:
 
1. Log into your Gmail inbox.
Note:  If you use the, Links List keystroke, Insert + F7, to find the links in steps 2,3 and 4 along with first letter navigation it'll make things go much faster.
 
2. Press, Insert + F7, to open the links list, press the letter, S, to find  the, settings link and press enter.
 
3. Press, Insert + F7, to open the links list, press the letter, G, to find  the, Google account link, and press enter.

Make sure it's the, Google Account link and not Gmail account link. 
 
4. Press, Insert + F7, to open the links list, press the letter, S, to find  the, Security link, and press enter. 
 
5. Press, Insert + F7, to open the links list, press the letter, L, to get to the, Less Secure App Access, link.

 6. Now down arrow to find an, On link, to toggle on the use of less secure apps, it could also be a checkbox.
Note:  I'm not sure if there's a save settings button or not, but it wouldn't hurt to look.
 
Finished.
 

Take care and stay safe.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.  Go dodgers & Rams!

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your suggestions. I've been trying to do that al this time that I took before responding to you. Just for the record, I explained in my previous message that I was able to find the less secure applications check box and I did check with no positive result. Google keeps blocking my accounts from both outlook express and thunderbird. However, after your suggestions, I wasn't able to find that check box any more no matter what I did.
I have the same experience in windows 7 and 1-. Idon't what to do.
Thanks again.

Again, the steps above apply if you are using basic html in the web interface of your Gmail account. If you are not, I’m sure you could Google the steps
otherwise.

Hi guys,
I have encountered a problem lately. I have outlook express on my
windows 7 laptop that I have been using until a bout a couple weeks when
I started using my desktop which also has windows 7 but with mozella
thunderbird. Being a newby in thunderbird, thereare certain things that
i do with outlook express that I don't how to carry them out in
thunderbird. So, yesterday I went back to my laptop to do those tasks in
outlook express only to find out that google is blocking me from
accessing my account stating that it does not allow a less secure third
party application to access my account. I actually have two mail
accounts. the main one which I have configured on both my laptop/outlok
express  and desktop/thunderbird has no issues. my second account which
is only configured on my laptop/outlook express  is the one being
blocked now. I tried to configure it in thunderbird on my desktop. The
same issue persisted. It was blocked due a less secure third party email
client. I also tried to tell google to accept less secure applications,
but to no avail. Any Ideas please?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

So many things I cannot do with edge that I could do with other browsers. Is
there a setting I need to change on edge?

Here are some examples of basic things I'm trying to do.

Copy text from a website, and accessing the address bar which I thought alt
d would do the trick but when I do alt d, nothing.

Any assistance is always appreciated.

Thank you,

Hello,


I buy Books off Amazon to be read in the program I have on this System. 
Its name is Kindle for PC.


Most of the Books I've bought work and red just fine.  I can move line
by line, even word by word when necessary.


However, every once in a while, I purchase a Book, and I cannot read it
in the same way as the others.  I cannot read it line by line, I cannot
use the Vocalizer voice in JAWS, and I cannot move around to read a
single word.


In stead, what happens is it appears that the Kindle Reader is using one
of its voices to read the text, and there isn't a lot of control.   
It's either On or is Off, and moving around the text so far, has been
something I have yet to learn how is done.


I am speculating that the reason most Kindle books read fine has
something to do with the way the text is formatted ahead of time.


I have looked for information before I buy a given title as to if there
is something special about the way the book has been produced.  Some
give some info about how the text was prepared, and others do not.


I have bought titles that did not disclose how they were prepared, and
they work fine.


Can anyone tell me what to look for in the Book Description that might
give me a heads up as to whether or not this book is going to read with
JAWS or NVDA, or if it will be read with the On Board Kindle Voice?


I really want to stop wasting my money, buying books that do not allow
me to read line by line when this is what I wish to do.


Thanks for any hints,


Grumpy Dave

I actually believe that the "it" of setting up a completely new computer, out of the box, that is not a laptop does involve steps that may (note: may) be significantly more difficult for someone who cannot see, particularly if their tactile sense is even slightly impaired, than you're allowing for.

It's not the software setup/screen reader availability I'm referring to, but the connecting of all the various things like keyboard, mouse, printer, etc., etc., etc.

Only the individual dealing with that task, and knowing what dealing with those sorts of things generally is like for them, can make that call.

I have Windows 10. Could someone give tips how to run the sfc / scannow command?

Although some techies on this list are probably very capable of setting up a new computer all by themselves without sighted help, this is definitely not recommended for a tech newbie.  It is best to have sighted help on hand in case you run into unexpected problems and do not have speech to bail you out.

Hi Jerry, Is sighted help required when setting up a new computer?
I'm asking this question because I to am about to buy a new desktop computer.
