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.
Cheers,
Mark Threadgold

Thanks, Mark. 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!
Hth,
Mark Threadgold

Hi all,
Our Advent should arrive today and of course the weekend looms!
<Smiles>
We are unlikely to have sighted help around so, if any of you who
have these
machines can give us a hand, that would be great!
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.
Thanks a lot!
