Hi Dean. Sorry Mate, I'm using WindowEyes on that computer and to be honest, I have only started using Windows so don't know the correct keystroke to use. I went into System and within this there were a couple of sub directories, namely: General: Computer Name: Hardware: Advanced: System Restore: Automatic Updates and Remote. I have gone into each of these with WindowEyes and tabbed though the various options but still cannot find anything relating to my current OS? Which directory should I be looking in. If I knew this, then perhaps I can use the Windoweyes cursor to read everything on that particular page. Thanks for your advice. Best wishes.
