All right, Hot Wheels has another problem. Groan Groan. LOL
Anyway, my comp is freezing with Dropbox13, or something like that. I forgot what it's called, but, guys, I'm no techy. All I want to know is how to stop it from allerting me all the time. I want to keep being able to check my Dropbox, but, when I lose the ability to run this old thing, I can't function.
It's a 2003 abouts, comp, with Windows XP, JAWS10 with a lot of points after it. I'm ready to kill this thing. It keeps interupting me.
Thanks!
Blessings,
Auntie Hot Wheels

Need to upgrade.

Thank you, Wayne. I want to upgrade. However, is there anywhere that helps people that are really strapped? I want to do what I can, but Rehab is doing nothing, so that's out. But, there's got to be somewhere I can get some help. I know nothing about building, but at this point, maybe I should learn.
Blessings, and Happy Independence Day!

Help to upgrade?
Just buy a new computer.
Desktops are pretty low priced now.

Amazing, isn't it?

No. technology comes down as more units are sold.
Works like that.

If you really don't wish to upgrade your computer and you have a Hims notetaker, I would recommend using Hims's Dropbox program.
It's probably not going to be the best at syncing your files but, as I said, if you are really getting down to the wire and want a quick and dirty solution, give that one a try.

I want to upgrade, and found out I have the opportunity. My problem is, now I'm paying all my check for rent and bills, I will be denied the loan I got, and never get JFW upgraded. That's where the money is needed. I wish they'd just give JAWS away, but they got to pick our poor pockets for all they are worth. I have a learning disability, and get confused, when trying to use another screen reader. I don't have anyone to get me a braille version of the reader keys, and don't even have a Brailler to do it myself.
So, looks like even if I get the new computer, I'm stuck.
Hope you are having better times with your computers.
Blessings,
Sarah

Apply to the Lions club for Jaws.
