JAWS 18 crashes more often than not on 32 bit
by Katherine M. Moss 25 May '17

25 May '17

Hey all, Thought I'd mention this, for it's been impacting my job performance on a negative level and was wondering whether or not you might have anything to say about it. I've noticed that JAWS 18 crashes all the time, hence causing me to miss calls; there is no rime or reason for this; it just happens. I have a few other things open, yet with my personal laptops, both running 64 bits, I don't have these same issues at all. It's only my aging work computer. My work device is an HP EliteBook 8300. My personal laptops are a dell Latitude E6540 and a latitude D630, and neither of them give me these issues. I'm curious what I can do to keep the crashes to a minimal level to ensure that my performance doesn't degrade further? Work device is running Windows 7 32 bit and my laptops run 10 enterprise. I run a couple of nonstandard things for between calls, though that's no different than anyone else around here. I've tried to isolate the problem to a particular application and I can't.

Wireless N card recommendation
by David Mehler 25 May '17

25 May '17

Hello, I'm looking for recommendations for a new USB wireless card. It's got to be n compatible and can operate in both the 2.4 and 5 GHZ bands so it can connect to any network. Currently the two nano USB adapters have only 2.4 GHZ radios. Please let me know any recommendations and how you've found the cards you use and if you'd purchase them again? Thanks. Dave.

G Suite
by Anatoliy Shudrya 23 May '17

23 May '17

Managing G-suite, which browser plus screen reader do you prefer? I always must shuffle between NVDA and JAWS to get some things done and not always remember which browser to start with. Once I get to groups, permissions, things get hazy and only then I start thinking of a different browser. How do you manage to get around g suite admin panel, cloud printer panel? Regards, Anatoliy

Cisco any connect on the Mac
by Scott Granados 17 May '17

17 May '17

So I’m trying to use a new version of the Cisco any connect to verify to a VPN on a Mac. When I enter my name and password and hit continue the field shows up as answer and answer (twice), there’s a continue button and it will take secure input. I tried entering in the entrust generated pin but it didn’t work and that menu returned. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you

keeping the official free PBX distro up to date
by Mobeen Iqbal 16 May '17

16 May '17

Hi Everyone. I'm about to perform a fresh install of the official free PBX distro from freepbx.org. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how I can keep the system up to date? I have never used cent OS before, i've used either debian or arch in the past. The online documentation seems to indicate that you can run scripts, but says they must be run in order. I'm assuming the first time I install all the updates will be pulled in automatically, but how can I maintain the system after that? Or shall I just keep free PBX up to date and leave the base install as is? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mo.

RSAT and NVDA
by Simon Eigeldinger 16 May '17

16 May '17

Hi all, Anyone is using RSAT (Remote Access Server Tools) with NVDA? I guess NVDA doesn't like it when i open that with a different account than the user it is running. so you open that as admin and with a different user but in my normal user environment who is just local admin. the interface is there but list boxes and treeviews seem to contain elements but they are not announced. a list box for example is just announced with that: list: list entry: 1 of 20. and when you scroll down it just says: list entry, list entry, list entry. Anyone knows that issue? Can i fix that somewhere o do i need to change the account to that this tool is needed to run as? running it as a different user would not need me to change the account every time i want to use the tools.

Google cloud printing "Printers offline"
by Anatoliy Shudrya 16 May '17

16 May '17

Hello everyone on the list, Does anybody know of a best practice for google cloud printing? We have a print server on win 2012 r2, and google cloud printing routs all print jobs from cloud printers to our physical server. Because many of our printers are "classic printers." For the most part it works O.K. but very often we get all printers offline and our end users are pretty much fed-up with this because I am not always onsite and sometimes it takes me several hours to login remotely, fire up chrome, log in to cloud printing and reset printers to get them back online. I always keep chrome open and logged in with dedicated account for GCP but do to unforeseen events I get logged out quite often. I have tried to setup GCP service on the server, but no luck, I get an error that the service cannot be started and all fails. I know this is not accessibility issue but I know there is many great experts on the list that maybe someone can suggest something to a struggling GCP admin. Thank you Anatoliy
