I'm sorry, but as an unqualified statement that's very simply incorrect.

There are many situations (one of which was already described, the presence of a multi-WiFi network rich operating environment) that has the potential to have significant impacts on WiFi performance on heavy traffic channels (and older hardware isn't trying to seek out empty channels).  Ethernet never has this issue.

The above being said, I absolutely agree that trying to describe throughput is somewhat an exercise in futility.  I always use the example of either a series of pipes and hoses delivering water, where the fastest flow you will get in the whole collection is determined by the narrowest constriction in that series, or of a bucket brigade where you have individuals who are significantly slower "somewhere in the middle, somewhere" and this is what limits the ultimate number of buckets you get, and at what speed, on the end where the water gets thrown.

I'm constantly trying to explain to my partner that the reason that Zoom, for instance, is slow and flaky is almost never going to be the result of something on his machine, which has way more than enough firepower to handle it all at once.  It's because, somewhere out there in cyberspace, there's a hitch in the gitty-up of the data coming to and going from his computer to the meeting hub and/or participants.  The same is true when the browsing experience in general slows down.  And there are times where the end you're trying to reach from wherever you are happens to be down entirely.  All of these things happen, both singly, and sometimes in combination.

He is well aware of keeping the alt key down but it does not work.  I have just told him of keystroke Insert F10 which shows running tasks but Alt tab does not work since he updated to jaws 21. It works fine on jaws 20.

Any other ideas to get alt tab to work as we are all used to?

Thanks

Graham

Hi,

One must hold down Alt key and press Tab key repeatedly to cycle between programs. Pressing Alt+Tab without holding down Alt key will switch between two mostly focused programs.

Cheers,

Joseph

This is for a friend running windows 7 with latest Jaws.

I have read about this issue on this list but cant remember as it does not affect my system.  Alt Tab does not cycle between open programs, how is this over come please.

Also he mentions that his thunderbird mail keeps crashing, any ideas on this one?

Appreciate any help for him

Regards

I just had an interesting bout with fixing up my wife’s Chicken Nugget after she attempted update to 4.71. when she thought she updated, I think it was her “mentions” (or could have been timeline) didn’t show up. After I sent searching for an actual copy of 4.71, I attempted to download it so that I could attempt a repair by installing over it, but her W7 machine said download was blocked as it “might harm the machine.” A dialog appeared asking if I still wanted to download anyway, clicked yes, but download didn’t occur. I don’t use CN so am totally unfamiliar with it, just don’t have the time to play with some of these apps. Any ideas what could be causing the issues?

Sure hope someone is willing to advise me on this one.


This may not take as much courage as I might imagine, but I need to know the ins and outs of resetting my cable modem. When I say reset, I'm not talking about simply unplugging the modem and letting it sit a while, but taking the sharp object, such as a pin, or something of that dimention to reset the modem in order to return it to its default settings.


Just to clarify, I have not changed any settings since getting this modem from Comcast nearly a year ago. I just need to reset so as to try to correct a problem that once again has crept up when recording live streams. After getting this present modem, the troubles that drove me crazy for around two and a half years was no longer a problem until last Friday evening, and I have had them ever since. I really don't want to have to deal with this vexing problem any longer than necessary.


Now to my question. After the reset, what steps will i have to take to get back into operation? Will this modem, or gateway automatically restore my login and password, so as to let me back on the net, or will I have to manually reenter that login or completely change it.


I really don't want to have to deal with Comcast Tech Support if I don't have too. I'm thinking that it might be easier just to call them up and order a new one, but just have to hope that they don't give me one with the same problem. What a mess.


I sure wish I knew what makes these modems do this. This being when streaming, I lose the signal, and none of my settings to help with reconnecting help at all. I have practically pulled any hair I might hav left over this issue.


If this question by chance strains the topical orientation of the list, or breaks the rules in any way, please contact me off list.


Your help will be greatly appreciated,

It does sound like there is some sort of update pending or has failed, there may be a retry button there on one of the updates.

Hi, Richard. What happens if you go to Windows Settings (Windows key plus I, and go to Check for Updates? Do you get the chance to update your Windows OS? Does it actually update?

I have tried both “restart” and “update and restart” many times to no avail.  I have not tried a different screen reader since the problem seems a Windows not a screen reader thing.

Hi,

Does restarting your computer help? What about switching between screen readers?

Cheers,

Joseph

Brian,

I recently tried updating from 1909 to build 20h2 but had the same problem that I did last summer when trying to update to 2004 – couldn’t access start menu or Action Center, and likely other issues I had not yet found. I’m kind of leery about trying again to update to 20h2 but won’t know if I have this same experience unless I do the update but wonder if there is anything after the update that could fix this problem once and for all? the update itself that I recently tried went smoothly, no problems detected, but something in that update has caused the above problem. Is there anything I can do with the update process to keep the start menu & Action Centers functioning?

Thanks,

BP

Good Day:  If you have enough antennas or extenders to cover the area you might have a good enough of a wifi to work with.  However, about a year ago I was in a bind.  I didn't have enough internet signal from my router to the computer and was forced to connect by cable to the router to get the job done.  So, it depends on how close you are to the router and how many walls, and what type of walls.  This can depend if you are trying to go from the first story to the second story.

Hi List,

 

I’ve seen   a couple messages on the list in the last 10 minutes,  and they seem to suggest that a wifi connection is more stable than an ethernet connection.

I would have thought the wired connection would be  better all round including things like zoom.

Would someone please clarify?

 

Cheers,

Sarah,

 

The Corsair K60 runs about $79.95. not sure what your K67 runs though I think it’s replaced by the K68 now.

 

I will say they seem to make good quality KB’s but truthfully I wish I could find one that is not “clicky”, but rather, one that has a bassier and perhaps quieter sound which will not annoy me while my hearing aids are in.
