Questions for a friend concerning Face Book and a podcatcher
Gene
I have a blind friend who is able to get to a page on Face Book but can’t
find a way to start the live stream. It is of a mass her local church is
offering. It may help if I can get the address of the page from her but I
haven’t yet. Is there any general advice of what to look for?
Also, I know there is an m.facebook.com page, but I’ve seen a little
discussion of another page that may be more accessible or easier to use.
Are there any comments?
On another topic, my friend is looking for a podcatcher. My
impression is that ones that used to be popular now have limitations and that
others may be preferred. Are there any recommendations?
Thank you for any information.
Gene

Re: check disk still will not run on startup
Gene
While I don’t know if not being able to run chkdsk makes running system
restore more dangerous, it may not be a good idea until you get more
discussion.
The best way to run chkdsk without having it fix anything is to use the DOS
prompt. You will have speech throughout and you can see on the screen at
the end, what was found and not fixed. If all you find is that there are
some errors such as unused disk space, I’ve always found that when I run chkdsk
in this way and after I’ve run it in repair mode, I’ve still found the same
errors. I’ve never had any problems as a result.
If you want instructions on running chkdsk from the DOS
prompt, ask here.

startup Have you tried checking the disk without rebooting just to see what it does? Whether or not it will actually run or not because this will give more information to see what might be the problem.
Check out the site below and see if any of the various 5 ideas help. The one that I was thinking was you trying a simple System Restore which is the second suggestion on the site below.

I have been having this annoying problem for weeks and wonder now if I might be better off trying to find some kind of check disk tool if one is available. I schedule it and have used the command prompt at times since I thought that might be even better than going to C drive and properties and scheduling it. Oh I've done that too, by the way, and after numerous normal startups I know it's definitely not checking the disk. I also have it set to repair sectors because I do suspect the hard drive has some sector problems. So it should take a lot longer for the computer to start. But it goes right into a normal boot, and also sfc /scannow won't complete because resource protection won't let it. Please help if you know of any advanced tools or things I can try. Using Jaws 2019 and 2020 and windows 7.
Thank you.

Try going to Ninite.com to get your installer for Dropbox and it will install just fine with nothing else.

MS Edge chrom has lost its mind
Loy <loyrg2845@...>
Microsoft Edge has lost its mind. Since the latest updates to MS Edge it is acting crazy. I can click on link in an email. Edge says it can't read my preferences and it opens to get started page. I have set my preferences to open at startup with Google.com And if I open the browser it will open to the Google page but when clicking on a link it goes back to get started page again. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: dropbox
Mike B
When using Jaws during the Dropbox installation nothing gets
announced. What I do is press the say line keystroke, Insert + up arrow,
or Insert + B, to hear somewhat of what's going on. It takes a couple of
minutes at least and can be irritating. Just have patience. I forget
what is announced when the installation is completed, but something is
reported.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. *My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.

Hello, I'm trying to get outlook 2010 working with my gmail account. I've got imap enabled on the account, and I know it's working because my phone connects and sends and receives email properly. I configure outlook and gmail per the gmail doc incoming host imap.gmail.com port 993 and ssl, and outgoing host smtp.gmail.com port 587, tls, email address and password where indicated, and that the outgoing server requires authentication and use same settings as incoming server. When I hit test connection I keep getting prompted for my email and password even though I enter the correct information and save password. Any suggestions welcome. Also, does outlook 2010 support pgp signing/encryption of email? I've got a pgp keypair and would like to use it to send encrypted email and to sign same? Thanks. Dave.

Uninstalling in Win 10 and Win7
Walter Ramage
Hi folks. Over this weekend I was burning some CDs. I used Express Burn on a Win10 machine. I was using the evaluation version of Express Burn. After burning 4 discs I was asked to purchase a licence. Now let me move to Win7. To complete the project I had to use the Express Burn I had on that machine, Win7 that is. Again this was an evaluation version but all I had to do was go to "change or Remove a Programme", find Express Burn, highlight it then go to the context menu where I found change/uninstall. When I click on this I get the option to either uninstall or to downgrade to the free version (which I did).
I went back to Win10 and tried the same but rather than "Change or Remove" I found "Add or Remove. When I highlighted Express Burn and went to the context menu there was only one option, uninstall.
Now I'm new to Win10 and so may not know the correct place to go or the correct procedure. Can somebody help please. It might just be though that the option to downgrade to the free version may not be available in Win10, I just don't know. Walter.

is there a good tutorial for using iTunes for windows with jaws?
joanne
I downloaded Itunes for windows, but to me it looks
very inaccessible using Jaws 19 or 20. Has anyone found a tutorial geared more
for visually-impaired people regarding how to use this program? I wondered if
the Apple version might work better, but I don't know if that original version
would work on Windows or not. It's just really hard to find things so if there
are possible Jaws scripts or tutorials this would be appreciated.

Re: nvda and punctuatiion
Monte Single
Thanks for your concise and precise instructions.
From: main@TechTalk.groups.io [mailto:main@TechTalk.groups.io] On Behalf Of Quentin Christensen
Hi Monte,
You can adjust what is read for symbols in NVDA's Punctuation / symbol pronunciation dialog. Press NVDA+n, then P for preferences, then go down from from there. For each, you can set what is read, "Dot, period, full stop, etc) and at what punctuation level. So for punctuation level, NVDA can be set to read none, some, most or all. Whatever you set in the dialog, NVDA will read at that level and higher. So if you set a symbol to be read at "most". NVDA will read it when the symbol level is set to most, or to all, but not at some or none. If you set it to "all" then it will only be read at symbol level all, etc.
Press NVDA+P to adjust the symbol level on the fly.
Kind regards
Quentin.

Re: Using Braille displays on the job?
Michael Mote
I do broadcasting work part-time, and could not do that type of work
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
without my braille display. I used a Focus classic up until about a year ago, when I made the switch to the Q Braille. I am trying more and more to use braille as part of my full-time job. It does really come in handy, in certain situations, especially when typing on my iDev ice when I travel for business. Sometimes, I find it faster to just simply type in information when I am in the office using a computer, but I do rely a lot on my braille display. I want to continue to improve using it with my computer, and without speech. I have a lot of respect for people who do that.
