Thanks to those of you who answered me regarding the numeric keypad. I now have a new Toshiba Satellite 1G8 computer which works with Windows Ultimate. It has a separate numeric keypad - lovely with JAWS Professional. Winndows Vista has quite a learning curbe and hence two questions: Firstly, is there a Vista User group for JAWS users? and secondly, if anyone else has a Toshiba Satellite, could you please contact me off list, as I have a number of questions regarding tweeking the sound system. I would also like some help with the media centre as I am not sure at this time whether it will be good to get my music CD's onto it, or whether I should use another system for sorting out my music. I am now off to look to see what training material JAWS has on getting my head round Vista. I'm not doing too badly, but feel I need a bit more help. However, I'm glad i've made the change. Elspeth
