what is the difference between the distro? If you know how to use one bistro do you know how to use them all?

talking windows installer
by Marvin Hunkin 24 Aug '15

Hi. T would cost me $426.92 aust, for the pro version. Well. It does have a talking repair, if I needed to repair windows 8.1. Well. Does the free talking win pe work with windows 8.1, and windows 10? Also. I tried to boot from my dvd on my other Toshiba machine, made a dvd, the mega disk, as only have a usb stick, and the basic, not sure if that would boot. And my folks not technically expert, at looking at bios, stuff. Marvin. Ps: so what are my options for a talking install. Pity Microsoft would not have a talking installation and repair kit for install windows 10 for a blind user. Marvin.

Microsoft training question
by Ryan Shugart 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Hi everyone: I was scheduled to take an advanced Windows Server 2012R2 course from a local Microsoft training center in a few weeks, but it looks like that may have ran into some problems. The training center used to be very traditional with these courses, a local instructor and for labs they had a workstation in front of you with a few Hyper-V virtual machines. With a little Window-Eyes tweaking it went very well. But now, half the time the instructors are remote, and they have some strange way of running the labs off a central server that doesn’t use traditional remote desktop. I went through this before with New Horizons in my area, and even after showing them how to make accommodations for me, they just didn’t want to talk about it or even consider it. So I went to this other place and now that they’ve been bought out they’re starting to do the same thing. So, I’m wondering if anyone has a good experience with a training center they’d be willing to pass on? I’m all about technical books and setting up test labs yourself, but sometimes there’s still a good place for a good vendor training course. Thanks. Ryan

20 Aug '15

hi. a blind student doing programming from http://www.upskilled.edu.au and using jaws for windows from http://www.freedomscientific.com. I got a Toshiba satellite pro c-50-a in 2014, and had windows 7 pro 64 bit, and I upgraded to windows 8.1 64 bit enterprise through my lectuer. now they are going with windows 10, and he said he could not activate his windows 10 enterprise versions, at his school. so he sent me a windows 7 pro 64 bit, and have the key. and backed up all my data to an external hard disk. now when I run the dvd, and use jaws, it says to get the updates online. when I try this, it then gives me an error message, saying the installation files could not be found or installed. so have tried four or five times, even did a shutdown and reboot. did not fix that issue. so, it says not to not get the updates, and need them, so, is there a tool to downgrade from 64 bit enterprise to 64 bit windows 7 pro. can you help? marvin.

Clearing the find buffer Word 2013

Hi, Does anyone know the keyboard command for Word 2013 to clear the find/replace buffer, so that control page keys will resume page navigation? In Word 2010 it was Control alt home home then enter. It changed in 2013. I can't find a reference to this. Thanks. Troy

windows

Hi. My lectuer is going to send me dvds of windows 7 64 bit pro, and windows 10 64 bit pro, and have found my windows 7 key. Also visual studio community edition 2015, 32 or 64 bit. And I do not have to design diagrams. What I can do is research all the diagrams, then write in a report, what they are, what they do, how they relate to the c # application, I wrote, earlier in the course, a application for a toy store stock control program. Thanks. Marvin.
