Hi John,
yes, that did have something to do with it. changed them all back to
WMP. I don't know why, but even people who used Winamp had problems with
CAPTCHA's. They are .wav files, and the encoding must be such that they
can't be re-recorded on the machine. (That's a guess as to why.
So to change it, go into Windows media Player. there, go into Tools ->
Preferences ->
File Types Tab. You will see a select all button and a
listview. I prefer to use ctrl-shift-end in the listview to select them
all thus. there are oonly about 13 file types, give or take a few. But
the important thing is that CAPTCHA files will be reassociated with WMP
when you do this selection.
A totally alternative solution - actually there are two - is to use the
WebVisum add-on with Firefox. Using firefox, it is available to download
at
www.webvisum.com
- and you need to get an invitation code to use it, which you can
generate yourself or have someone else invite you.
The other solution, which again DOES NOT WORK in Internet Explorer, but
does work with any other Web browser, is called Rumola: and you can find
out more about it at:
www.rumola.com . You can regfister for it, for a demo copy, which last a
number of tries, so that if you're happy you will pay a small amount for
CAPTCHA's to be done - 'credits', as they are called. It is part human,
part automated. you can choose whether you want human or automated
operation on individual CAPTCHA's, apparently. (I've only recently
learned about it.)

Subject: [vip_students] facebook security check
Hello All,
I'm using JAWS 13, IE 11, and Win 7. I've been accessing Facebook via
the mobile site (http://m.facebook.com/) and everything has been going
fine. But just now I hit a snag. FB threw up a Security Check. It's
another one of those captchas. I click on the Audio version, but
nothing happens. Help!
I recently changed all my media file associations to VLC because WMP
wouldn't play nice with PayPal's captcha .wav file. Maybe that has
something to do with it. If so, what do I do about it? Change them
all back? How? Like I said before, help!
John
