Hi Carol, I made the Jaws changes recommended in the help system just as you would do for a desktop. I haven't done anything else, and find that all works well. it does take a bit of getting used to, but it's well worth it, and you just need to push on and work out what is best for you. Nothing specific to worry about once that second adaptor has been disabled. Good luck, Richard

Hi Richard, I'm beginning to get up and running now, though (like you) I'm probably going to have to disable that second display adapter also tomorrow. I wonder if you changed your JAWS setting to the classic ones and whether that improved things enough for you or whether that made little difference anyway. Now that you've been running a little longer, have you any further tips? Did you get rid of much of their software? I had quite a blitz (well, a friend of mine did) since there's no way I'm going to run MacAfee or quite a few of the other (visual) applications. Anyway, I think I like it so far and am getting used to the layout etc. Thanks for any more advice you can give. Don't worry if you can't. I'll get on to Tech Support if and when I have to, of course.
