Try holding down the fn key. This is what I was speaking about on my post.

Most of the keys identify themselves except the function keys. F1 does, but the others are just silent or they seem to have another function. When I press F2 for example, Jaws says back slash. The same thing happens when I press F3. I can't remember right now what Jaws says when I press F4, but it doesn't identify itself as F4. One of the function keys I think its F6 or F7 is a mute button. My question then is if the function keys have been assigned to carry out other commands then where would the typical function keys be or how can I open a list of links and so on. I have been messing around and I can say that windows 7 is certainly different from XP. It will take some getting use to, but it shouldn't be too hard.

But I'll try to remedy that situation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "neville" <neville@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 18:52 Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Question about laptops Thanks for all your input. I am on a very tight budget so I didn't get a high end one. It seems like it will do the job though. The only thing is that the function keys don't seem to work the same as my desktop. Insert f7 doesn't give me a list of links and when the key identifier is on most of the function keys are silent. Another thing I'm trying to figure out is how to root jaws to PC. Any suggestions?

I think informational keys still use insert. Left mouse is caps lock 8 and right mouse is caps lock 9. I am not sure about applications but I have one on my laptop between the alt and control on the right side bottom row. Hope this helps.
