Andy, if it is the Asus 901, then at the bottom right hand side of the keyboard 
look at the six keys. The first three in and then the three directly above 
these. The three along the bottom are right arrow, down arrow and left arrow 
working in from the edge of the keyboard. Above these working in from the edge 
again are shift, up arrow and / which is ? if the shift is used. The wide key 
above these is the enter key.

Hope this is of some help.

Barbara

  Hi Ibrahim again - I enter Asus netbook in the edit field on that screen, and 
pressed the next button, but it brought up the same screen again! I don't know 
where the cursor keys are yet on this Asus, so can't arrow around!

  Anyway, I hit the back button to try and get back a screen, but this time it 
brought up the time zone screen, which seems to be set to Canada eastern time!

  My laptop has a full sized key board, with number pad, so I'm not familiar 
yet with the smaller cutdown keypad on this netbook; could do with some lay out 
guidance really.

  Thanks -

  Andy

    Hi.

    If the screen has that skip button on it, it is almost certainly the 
network name screen.  The manufacture Asus has probably already put something 
in there, but you can change it without any after affect what so ever.  It 
won't come up again and you can always go change it in the control panel under 
network properties.

      Ibrahim - Just 2 things then; Does the network name screen always come up 
next, after the licence agreement screen, if for some reason it isn't the 
network name screen, and I delete that strange code, and put an understandable 
name in that field, can it do any harm? Don't want to bugger this up at the 
outset <smile> -

        Hi Andy.

        Sounds like that'll be the network name screen.  You can name your 
netbook so if your using it on a home network IE via wireless, the name you 
enter here will be used to identify your machine.

          Hi John -

          I've got Narrator running now [I made a mistake and was pressing the 
FN key instead of the Win key, got them mixed up in my head for some reason 
<smile>]

          However, having got past the licence agreement screen, I'm now on a 
screen the has an edit box with some kind of code in it beginning U:something 
or other, the characters of which I can't hear very well. There is a skip and 
next button on this screen; Does anybody know what this screen is, and if I 
need to make a note of the code that is there, Narrator isn't saying if this is 
a username screen or anything, not sure how important this particular screen 
is!-

          Andy

              Hi all -

              I've just received my Asus netbook, have powered it on, and 
listened to about 5 minutes of rather dull music! When it stopped, I tried to 
access Narrator using Windows U, but nothing happened, so I then pressed alt N, 
and nothing happened. I have tried Windows U then tabbed and hit alt n, 
followed bhy space in case as in Vista, there is a button to activate, but 
still, nothing. I removed the battery and started again, and got that long 
music track after powering on again.

              Anybody get me moved on, so I can get Narrator to talk to me? -

              Andy
