We don't under Vista.OK, so why do we get both mentioned? Just to confuse me, I guess! -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Wednesday, November 19, 2008 9:28 PM (UK time), Chris Hallsworth at christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx said:Sleep's the new standby.What's the difference then between sleep, hybernate and standby? Hope someone can give me a full explanation of these. I love hybernate with my laptop but haven't found it works particularly well with my desktop so I left it alone. Standby didn't work either in the early days when I tried it. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Wednesday, November 19, 2008 7:10 PM (UK time), Mark Threadgold at m.j.threadgold@xxxxxxxxxxxx said:Glad it's working ok Carol. There isn't a sleep button as far as I know. Mine is set in the power settings to sleep when the lid is closed, and to shutdown when the power button is pressed. No idea what the Launch is either I'm afraid. If it was an application that came on it I have probably removed it already. hth Mark Threadgold Of all the things I have ever lost, The one I miss most is my mind... -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 19 November 2008 15:57 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: ADVENT 1142 MINI PC Hi Mark, Thanks for your help. We're up and running. Do you, or anyone else, know what Launch is all about and whether I should remove it. Also, I haven't located the "sleep" button yet. Any idea? Thanks! We're very pleased so far and I couldn't believe the kind of speed I can get up.Carol, No idea if there is an image of the windows setup on the hard disk. Sorry. What is rather ironic, is that I got a copy of windows and microsoft works on CD in the box with the machine. Ironic, as there is no optical drive on the machine, so how are you supposed to use them if you need to?!!?! It gave us a laugh, anyway.

That's what I suspected ... I always like to check on these things, so one final question, if I may? Do you know if there's a complete copy of the system already on disk, with a keystroke (combination) to return to scratch if and when you need?Carol, The power switch on buttom is on the top right of the keyboard just above the keys themselves. When you first run the machine you will need sighted help. It does the Windows first run and asks you for various details like your name and settings, so I doubt very much you can load any speech programs straight away. I had to get my friend to do the first run for me, then load avg, then do all the updates for windows and avg on the web before I loaded the screen reader. It should be fine to fit the battery and put it on charge for the weekend though!

How long do we need to give the first charge of the battery? Where's the switch on button (if not obvious)? Finally, when you switch on for the first time, any idea where you're placed - straight into Windows but with that screen that you have to complete some data, maybe? If anyone was able to load speech straight away and everything came up OK then please let me know.
