Robin, I do hope you get an answer. A friend of mine has just bought a Sony laptop and is having the same problem. She will get sighted help. I didn't realise that every laptop has a different keyboard layout. Window 7 she tells me is a new learning curve.

Can anyone tell me if when I take it out the box and fire it up, will I be able to stick a jaws CD in it to get started, or will I need sighted help to initialize the machine with a name etc?
