I can't help you but you might do worse than to get an external number pad which plugs into your laptop. ----- Original Message ----- From: allykelly To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 2:57 PM Subject: [access-uk] laptop help please! Hi folks, Following the demise of my desktop pc I have been presented with a new laptop for Christmas, problem is for the life of me I can't find the keystroke for the jaws curser!It's driving me nuts! I'm using jfw 4.5.1 with xp home. Any help would be appreciated. Apparently this machine has something called centrino technology, and is wireless ready, sadly this is just double dutch to me, anyone who could explain these terms to me would help me enormously.
