I would like to make the Christian record donated computers 
as uniform as we can, so that it will be as easy as possible 
for us to help the people who get them.  That way we will 
have a good idea how the machine is set up.


Christian record computers.
If you will be using speech to set up the computer do the 
following:
1.  Use Narrator “windows key –u” to get the computer 
talking.
2.  On the provided cd, install the window-eyes demo from 
the computer programs for people with visual impairments 
folder.
3.  Set window-eyes to load after startup.  Use the default 
dectalk for window-eyes settings.
For every installation do the remainder of the instructions:
4. Copy and paste the “Christian record cd” to the c drive.
1. Under the useful programs from the Christian record cd, 
install the “bible seeker” and the “affilos bible software 
early, because they seem to want a lot of room for their 
data bases.  Talking typer and Math flash also seem to want 
a lot of room.
After that, install web ferret, winamp, acrobat, and quick 
mix and the word web dictionary.
Under computer programs for people with visual 
impairments, install calc2.exe, talking typing tutor, and 
math flash.

Remember, when ever you install a self voicing application, 
associate the window-eyes silent.000 set file and save the 
association.  The program will often suggest a new name for 
the file, which is great, because it will keep silent.000 
untouched.  When you do this, window-eyes becomes silent 
and lets the new application use the sound card.

2. Windows control panel settings.  Display, 800-600 16 Bit 
High color.  If you know that the person getting the 
computer is a person with low vision, try High contrast Black 
for the color scheme.  Adding mouse enhancements might 
help to.  Try turning on the magnifier in the accessability 
options if the machine has windows XP on it.

2.  Folder options.  Classic view, not use active desk top.
3.  under file and folder options, Turn on show file 
extensions for known file types.
4. Apparently some machines are 2000 and some are XP.
5.  Select a folder and set the view to list and sort files by 
name.  Then in file and folder options, choose to apply these 
settings to all folders.
6. Make Shortcuts to the desktop.
7. Sort by name and line up when you are done.

“my documents” my computer” my network places”, recycle 
bin, Internet explorer, adobe reader 7.0, math flash.
Talking typer for windows, window-eyes, “fix computer, bible 
seeker, calculator.  I had to rename that one because there 
are too many things starting with T.
Dictionary and Holy bible.
Third row, is
“Introduction to your computer” quick mix, resources, The 
Complete reading system, the afilos bible software, Windows 
Training by Kathy Ann Mertha, and Word pad.  21 Icons in 
all.
Now, the shortcuts.
Dictionary goes to word web; the introduction to your 
computer is at the root of the Christian record folder.
Windows training by Kathy Ann Is the folder inside the 
Christian record folder.
Holy bible is Christian record\electronic books\religious 
texts\the holy bible.  I separated the bible from the book of 
Mormon and the Koran before making the set-up CD.
Books by Ellen White has a standard print and a large print 
copy.  Choose which is appropriate for the person receiving 
the computer.
Make a shortcut for wordpad to the desktop.  This is found in 
Programs accessories 

In the fix computer, I put apswat program terminator, disk 
cleanup; connect to the internet, and addaware.  
I realized later, that a lot would have to be done to make 
these machines internet ready, so Installing Mozilla, web 
ferret, etc made little sense. 

I tried Jim Kitchen’s self voicing games, but got a “runtime 
error” let me know if we can fix that.

They also seemed to mess up the speech on the talking 
calculator.

I used quick mix to save three volume settings files.
I selected microphone for the input device, but made quiet 
normal and loud settings changing the master volume from 
250, 200, and 150.  The files are automatically saved in the 
documents folder, and I write protected them, so as to 
maybe keep them safe.

I also eliminated everything from the start up group except 
window-eyes, ran a final disk cleanup, and sent it off.  On 
these machines, the keyboard is the bottom plug and the 
mouse is the top.

Please suggest improvements, and tell me what I need to 
know.

I had to install an older version of winamp, to get it to work 
under windows-2000.  
I found that if I associated wordpad with text files, it would 
come up maximized and read them properly. Shortcut from 

The Complete reading system can read and save files as 
.MsWord, or RTF files as well as text files.
Acrobat needs to be set up by running it once; I chose all of 
the disability options.  This includes black text on a white 
back ground.  It can be changed if needed.  Talks fine.

Make a shortcut from the books by Hellen white folder to the 
desktop.
Make a shortcut from the discovering g-d folder to the 
desktop.  Rename the shortcut “discovering God’s lessons”.
I have discovered that many of the windows 2000 
computers don't have IE6, or the latest windows service 
pack updates on them.  These programs along with the 
latest jfw demo are on the second setup CD.
