Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Laptops, Docking Stations 7 JAWS

Have you actually noticed this? That's nuts! I've been using docking stations for HP's, Dell's and even the horrible Fujitsu machines that we use here and I've never had a problem with Jaws authorization. This is on XP and 7.

Actually I suspect they were talking about authorization. I have seen many times where the authorization will vanish if one docks a laptop or undocks it. Sometimes, if you activate both states, it will stick for a while but that system is so sensative to hardware changes, I have often seen it unauthorize for no apparent reason at all. A hardware dongle will get around this but that's one extra little bit of kit to carry around and takes up a usb port. Brian.

Darragh,

I've never bought a docking station & didn't want to buy one that was going to mess up video or something. I did scratch my head with this so called I T Asessor from the RNIB said you had to be careful.

I take it you need to buy a docking station from the same manufacturer as the laptop?

I was thinking of getting this laptop,

Do the Del Lat's still have an apps key? I've seen a few Insprons

lately that have done completely away with the apps key. No FN switch for it, notten.

Cheers, Barry.

I'm after one with a numpad built-in & a decent CPU.

hahahaha.

What does a docking station have to do with Jaws?

Sometimes I wonder about these people. Not you Bary. I mean the people who are advising.

I like the Dell latitude laptops. Very nice. Docking stations are decent as well.

If portability is important, Go with the smaller XPS. Absolutely spectacular system.

Hi,

I'm looking up laptops & docking stations.

A guy I was talking to some weeks back in the RNIB mentioned something about being careful on the docking stations, in-terms of compatibility with JAWS.

Is this true, and what would the criteria to determine this be?

Cheers,

Barry.

Regards,

Barry.
