Open windows 8 and run jaws

I am trying to help a blind child to open a parallels windows 8.1 pvm and run JAWs or resume windows 8 with JAWS activated. Anyone knows. I tried working with automator but could not achieve the desired results

What you're trying to do now is:
EFI->kernel (EFI stub)
This is appealingly direct, but it's tricky to get working. What the wiki now recommends is:
EFI->gummiboot->kernel (EFI stub)
...or...
EFI->GRUB->kernel
These approaches are less direct, but they're easier to configure. The trouble is that both the EFI's built-in boot manager and the EFI stub loader are tricky to configure. For a newbie to get them both configured correctly on a first attempt at installing Arch is very difficult. Getting the EFI to launch gummiboot or GRUB is easier because these programs don't require the complex parameters that the EFI stub loader requires. Those parameters can instead be specified in the gummiboot or GRUB configuration file, which is easier to manage for quite a few reasons.
If you want to pursue using the EFI stub loader directly, you certainly can. I've learned from experience, though, that it's not worth my time to try to help with users who want to do this. Using an intermediary program is easier to get working. IMHO, the direct approach has no real benefits except that it gives you bragging rights that you've done it. Your system won't boot any faster or more reliably in the more direct approach. (Well, technically it will be faster, by only by a matter of milliseconds, assuming you use a 0 timeout value in gummiboot.) In fact, it will be less reliable, because gummiboot, GRUB, and rEFInd all offer ways to adjust boot options on a boot-by-boot basis, which is very helpful when fixing problems. You can't do this with the direct approach.

  • You've introduced TABS but I discovered by opening Yahoo and running a video that it continues when I open a new tab! Not good. Have I missed a setting or ???

    You've introduced TABS but I discovered by opening Yahoo and running a video that it continues when I open a new tab! Not good. Have I missed a setting or ??? This may be just the way it is but it somewhat defeats the ease of going to a often used web site using tabs.

    So, you are meaning that if you have a video running in one tab, then go to another, the video continues to run? yes, that is normal behavior.
    Tabs are basically having like multiple windows inside one main window. It is just as if you opened a video in a window, started it playing, then opened a new window, the video would still play.
    Or am I misunderstanding your question?

  • I have Firefox Home installed on my iPhone. It has all of my current open windows and bookmarks. I have a new desktop computer. How do i transfer?

    I don't want to lose all of my open windows and bookmarks!

    The Firefox Home uses Firefox Sync, and as I said, you can't transfer from iPhone to Desktop, it's 1-way. You can transfer your data from your old computer to your new one, but not from iPhone to Desktop. Firefox home isn't even developed or supported anymore.

  • Why won't my trackpad work properly and the cursor will move on it's own and open windows and menu's randomly?

    I bought my Macbook Pro less than a year ago and the other night I was watching a TV show in itunes and I couldn't use the track pad. I was able to finally shut the Macbook down and the next morning I rebooted it. It was still acting weird and the trackpad was jumpy and would randomly start opening windows and menus as if someone was contriolling it remotely. I used my bluetooth mouse and it seemed to work ok until tonight when I was copying some files wirelessly (or trying to) and evey time I tried to select files the cursor would jump to another screen and open a menu and then select all and open all my file folders. I was able to get that to stop openin ght ewindows but I still can't use the track pad and the machine acts like it is possesed and has a mind of it's own. I have made sure file saring and screen sharing are off and the battery shows to be normal from doing the control+battery test. What is going on and how can I get this fixed?

    Look at this Apple support article and see if this is of any help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449
    In addition, check the MBP battery which resides under your trackpad.  They have been known to swell up and interfere with the trackpad operation.
    Ciao.

  • Can I save all open windows, and reload them later?

    Hi,
    I work on different projects using different applications.
    Say I am working on recording, and editing an audio. I have Quicktime open, finder(showing files) and GarageBand. Is there anyway I can save the current open windows, so at a later date I can just resume where I left off, rather then having to reopen the finder window, and the applications. It's almost liek I want a snapshot of what's open.
    Is there a 3rd party program that does this?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the answer, but I would really like to close the apps. I may not return to the project for weeks. That's why I would love if a program could save the current open apps, so when I return to my project. I run this program and boom all of my Finders, and applications are restored the way I left them. It saves me time.

  • Assistance with my script to find all opened windows (applications running) on remote computer

    Hello,
    I have the following script whereby I want to list all the running (opened) applications on a remote computer.  It's a shared computer between two people who use the same generic ID.  Before one RDP's into it, I thought it would be interesting
    to see if any apps are opened before logging in. 
    Here is the code:
    $cred = Get-Credential
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName server123 {Get-Process *mail* | Where {$_.MainWindowHandle} | Select Name,MainWindowTitle} -Cred $cred
    It works in that it asks for my credentials and runs without any error...but this script also does not display any running applications. I'm not sure what it should show. Perhaps I need to add a line of code to display what it found?
    Another bit of info I would like to use in this script is to also confirm that the generic ID is logged in at the time I run this script.  I could use the following bit of code:
    get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem -computername server123 | format-table -property username
    But when I run this code I get an access denied message. I'm assuming I need to use the Get-Credential again from my first script, but I'm unsure how to use it in the get-wmiobject?
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Ok...shifting gears again.  Instead of running this remotely I'm thinking of running a scheduled task on the server and creating this .htm file.  That way no one has to run and enter in credentials (and if entered wrong cause issues with locking
    out the account).  So, I've modified my script and confirmed that when I run it from Powershell when logged into the server, the results file correctly shows the logged in userid and the running applications (windows) I have opened. 
    But, when I run this same exact script from my task scheduler, the running applications piece is blank?  The server I'm running this on is Windows Server 2008.  I've tried running it from Task Scheduler using Powershell and from a .bat file that
    calls my Powershell script.  Both ways results in my .htm file not showing any applications running.  Yet when I run the same script (either from Powershell or the .bat file) the .htm file correctly shows the running applications.  My Task Scheduler
    Job is using the same user id that I'm logged in with so there shouldn't be any permission issues with running from the task scheduler.
    Here is my code:
    $a = "<style>"
    $a = $a + "BODY{background-color:peachpuff;}"
    $a = $a + "TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}"
    $a = $a + "TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color:thistle}"
    $a = $a + "TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color:PaleGoldenrod}"
    $a = $a + "</style>"
    get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem | ConvertTo-HTML -head $a -body "<H2>Logged in UserID</H2>" -property username | Out-File C:\Powershell_Scripts\Test.htm ; Get-Process |where {$_.mainWindowTItle} |Select-Object name,mainwindowtitle | ConvertTo-HTML -head $a -body "<H2>Open Applications</H2>" | Out-File C:\Powershell_Scripts\Test.htm -Append
    Can anyone tell me what might be the reason for the script running from the scheduled task having issues?
    Thank you.

  • I need help identifying and removing annoying gadget that shows all open windows and applications when I mouse over a corner.

    It seemed like a good idea at the time. Some time ago I installed a gadget (doesn't seem to be an item in my Applications folder) which, when I mouse-over the lower-left corner of my screen, brings up a screen showing reduced-size versions of all open application windows and Finder windows. I've tried to identify what it is, and where it is located, so I can remove it, but to no avail.
    I'd really appreciate any help getting rid of this thing. Thanks!

  • My pointer is out of control. Jumps around the page and opens windows ands apps at random. How can I fix this?

    Help. My pointer is out of control. It hardly responds to the trackpad. Instead it jumps around the screen on its own, opening windoes and app at random.
    At wits end. Any advice?

    Try a PRAM reset, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US and if that does not help take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run their diagnostics.

  • Moving between open windows and cursor doesn't work

    I have several open windows from several programs.
    If I click on window 1 in program A, and then click on window 2 in program B, I expect the mac to switch to that window in program B.
    But many times lately, in Tiger, that does not happen. I can click on the window, and the cursor does not work. Nor does the menu bar change. I can go back to window 1 and the cursor still does not work.
    Only when I go to the dock, and click on the program icon does the window and cursor work properly.
    This happens in Tiger. I don't recall having this behavior in any older OS X, OS 9, or other older version either.
    This has happened on my iMac G5 and G4 tower. Is this a known problem?

    This happens since I started using the Mighty mouse on both computers.

  • Can you build an Labview app on windows and run it on the Linux Runtime Engine?

    Our developers work on windows workstations but we would like to convert our test stands to linux. Can we run the apps they develop on Linux with the Linux Runtime?

    No. VIs developed on Windows will run in the LabVIEW Linux development (assuming no Windows specific functions like ActiveX and DLL calls) but in order to run a built application on Linux you will need to rebuild them with the Linux application builder.

  • Q: How do you sync all open windows and tabs?

    How do you sync all windows and tabs? And if this is not possible, how do you nominate which Windows' tabs are sync'd?
    Sincerely,
    Adam

    You don't have a hot-corner for that anymore.
    You use a gesture for that now. You can either 4-finger swipe down, or place the tips of your fingers in the center of your track pad.  Your fingers should be bunched up and touching each other.  To show all windows, expand your fingers, as if you were showing someone "5" on your fingers.
