Hi all -

No, not a personal message to any individual, but my problem with my laptop!

What happens is, that I have some touch media keys across the plastic strip 
above the function keys on my laptop, and these trigger certain things, one 
of which seems to be to launch  "quick Play" [or some such name] programme, 
that seems to hog the machine, and I lose not just JFW, but Narrator too! My 
attempts to reboot from using short cut keys, doesn't work, but neither does 
pressing the off/on button.

The laptop is just sitting there, I can't turn it off! Something must be 
hogging the screen [maybe that media software programme thing] but I don't 
understand why the power button won't switch it off!

Any thoughts good people? -

Andy
