jfw and losing focus
by Dave 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hello, I'm seeing this issue on more than one computer and video type which leads me to believe it's something with jaws. I've tried 9 and 10, and am getting quite frustrated. I don't have jfw set to run before startup on some machines as they are used by sighted individuals as well, login is done in the blind. Jfw is set to come up in the user's startup group. The problem is occationally and the reason escapes me jfw either loses focus or has an issue with the offscreen model not updating itself. It won't read a status bar, contents of dialog boxes, the system tray insert+f11, contents of edit fields etc. Whenever a current line is done i hear blank, screen review same thing, just all blank. I was wondering if anyone had seen this behavior? Thanks. Dave.

jfw9, server 2003, and setting quotas
by Dave 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hello, Is anyone using jfw9 on a server 2003 system with quotas? If so, are you able to set quotas using the quota management button? Whenever i go to said button my windows close, the quota management window, drive properties, my computer window, all shut down. This happens repeatedly, and i can duplicate it on multiple machines. I'm suspecting a jfw video interaction of some sort, as this problem does not occur with narrator. Updating to jfw 10 is not an option in this setup, any advice appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

remote desktop
by Dave 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hello, I've got a question and i'm hoping for a thinking out of the box type fix. Remote desktop and screen readers, i'm needing access. I've got xp remote workstations i need to get to from a centrally located workstation. Our copy of jfw9 does not have remote access key in it, and getting it isn't going to happen. I'd like to get remote desktop sessions working. Is there a jfw alternative that could be used to correct this situation, sa2go, or one of the free screen readers, or something else? Thanks. Dave.

Hello everyone, I have just begun to deal with a Citrix access portal. Jaws 9 seems to be a little flakey when dealing with the RDP or accessing a published file share. Anyone have any thoughts, tips, pointers? Thanks, Greg B. Greg L. Bobo Customer Service Matrix Systems, Inc. 7550 Paragon Rd.

Hi, Everything should now be back up and functional, sorry for the delay in the downtime of the list. There may have been a small period of time when messages were being bounced due to the fact that the external IP address of my mail hub server has changed. Sorry about that. Thanks. Andrew.

logons through terminal services
by Ryan Shugart 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hi all: I have a quick question about how logons are handled in a TS environment. If one does the following: 1. On the client machine launches the remote desktop client. 2. Clicks options. 3. Selects the program tab 4. Checks the "run the following program on connection" and enters a program into be ran, such as notepad.exe 5. Goes back to the general page, enters a server name user name and a password 6.Clicks connect Assuming the logon is successful, what in the way of logon scripts or registry run keys is ran? I'm trying to force Window-Eyes to start in such a situation and am looking for the best way to go about it. Thanks. Ryan
