Sounds like a call to Dolphin in the morning might be a good idea.

She has tried those things but there seems to really be some sort of problem. Even with a sighted friend she can't get there. It will say, "Desktop, 18 items. no focus detected." No amount of windows key with m or d will do it. Thanks for replying. Best wishes, Joan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Threadgold" <m.j.threadgold@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2004 9:56 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Query on behalf of a Hal User Joan, Your friend will need to get the focus back in the desktop by pressing windows key and D together. Windows key and M together should also do the same. If there is another application open you can also use alt and tab to switch into it which would return the focus to something. hth, Mark Threadgold -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Joan Muir Sent: 18 July 2004 21:15 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Query on behalf of a Hal User Hi, Folks, I have had a frantic phone call from a Hal user. She is unable to use her computer because, when on the desktop, Hal announces "No Focus Detected". Would anyone be able to explain this problem? I am not a Hal user myself.
