How to burn a disk in Windows 10
Arnþór Helgason <arnthor.helgason@...>
Maybe this question has already been answared.
When I wanted to burn a cd disk with my cd-burner it doesn't seem to work with Windows 10. What is the most accessible method to create a music cd?

Re: changing the function key
Gene
I should add that I'm not advocating for or against
using this as a permanent solution. But if you only want to use it as a
temporary solution, it may work until you get the setting changed. If you
don't want to take a chance on problems when booting or rebooting, you may want
to remove the tape before rebooting or shutting down or using sleep or stand
by. I don't know if any problems might result if the key is left taped
down.

As I understand it, the problem you describe won't
occur. When the fn key is down, it is equivalent to it being up under
traditional operation. I haven't heard that the effect of this change is
limited to specific keys. Indeed, I heard someone say, on another list,
that they couldn't use alt f4 under this change because f4 was being treated as
a function key combination. As far as restart is concerned, I have no idea
if there will be any effect.

sounds like it would be worth getting sighted help to get into the bios and
change this setting once and for all. At least, once it's done you can
just use the PC normally again.

Re: changing the function key
Robert, I know of no way to change this on HP hardware without going into either UEFI or BIOS (depending on the age of the machine). This feature is known as Action Keys. My laptop had this enabled and I promptly disabled via the BIOS settings under UEFI. Under UEFI it's in the BIOS settings, System Configuration settings and is enabled if you have to hit Fn in order for the function key to act like a function key, not perform the function shown on its icon. There are some brands that have a way to do this via the user interface. I can't find any for HP. Here's a link to their support page giving details on how to turn it off via BIOS for machines from the straight BIOS era. It's virtually identical under UEFI once you know where to look, which I mentioned above. Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises. ~ Samuel Butler, 1835-1902

Re: changing the function key
Gene
From what I've seen on another list, this may be
able to be changed on some computers in Windows. But I don't know
where. I haven't tried this and I don't know if it will present any
problems such as in booting, but one thing I've thought might work as a work
around would be to simply tape the function key down. Perhaps something
like scotch tape might serve. Masking tape, if left in place for a long
time, for some reason has the adhesive become very sticky and clingy. I
would therefore consider it unsuitable for this purpose except for a short
time.

changing the function key
Hi all, I had a quick question. On my HP laptop the function keys are defaulted to their media options, so if I want to hit shift F10, I have to hit FN shift F10. Is there anyway I can change this without going into the BIOS? I have no sighted person here to assist me with the BIOS so is there a work around?

Re: Reinstalling Windows 10
Hello Brian, I would do this if I could, but I cannot use the system at all in it's current state. It is taking minutes for NVDA to respond to a command which should normally take milliseconds. I just don't know what to do here. I've got no sited assistance to help me which makes this problem that much more frustrating. Doug

Re: Reinstalling Windows 10
Doug, Have you considered using the Reset function under the Update & Security Settings, Recovery Pane? It wipes the existing Win10 installation and completely reinstalls the operating system but you can choose whether to keep your files (or at least the vast majority of them) or to start with an entirely clean slate. I never resort to an actual clean reinstallation of Windows 10 from external media until and unless a Reset has not solved the problem.

Reinstalling Windows 10
Hello all, I know there are more appropriate lists I should be posting this on but I need an answer as soon as I can get one. I have a Windows 10 laptop that is totally unusable and need to install Windows 10 from a working image I have on a USB drive. How can I restart Windows into Safe mode where I can do this? I'm getting program Manager not responding from NVDA so I know there is a problem where a reinstall of Windows would be the best option. It would be really wonderful if one could install Windows without sited assistance but that's still not possible as far as I'm aware. Thanks, Doug Douglas Lawlor Email: douglawlor@...

Re: intel 64-bit processors with amd instruction sets: (was [nvda] A word of warning about xp and windoows update enabled systems with old amd processors
Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The following is a bit technical, so please bear with me for a second: Almost two decades ago, many microprocessor manufacturers noted that the 32-bit 4 GB limit would be reached within a few years, hence development of 64-bit processors began. Intel and AMD took two different routes: Intel came up with a completely different 64-bit architecture than that of Pentium, while AMD extended Pentium's language and made it work with 64-bit data. Eventually, Intel adopted AMD's approach, hence you'll find that even for Intel processors, the architecture name is AMD64 (technically called x86-64). Modern 64-bit processors from Intel and AMD can run 32-bit software such as NVDA because they can understand 32-bit instructions natively in hardware, and Windows and other operating systems have mechanisms to allow 32-bit software to run under 64-bit operating systems (I'll describe this process from start to finish upon request). Cheers, Joseph P.S. To Derek and other devs: at some point, we should explain what WoW64 is.

Re: Vocalizer expressive for Nuance
I totally agree. Even the current version of Tifflotecnia's Vocalizer add on worked relatively fine. Though I also want an update, I'd prefer an update that is fully finished rather than half finished. By this I mean an update that is stable and well tested, rather than a rushed update that is not stable and full of bugs.
