Hi Robin,
Filter keys is a group of settings for helping people who have difficulty using
the keyboard, and one of these settings has the effect that if you briefly
press a key it has no effect, and by default you get these clicks which you're
hearing.
To switch filter keys off, you'll probably be able to use a keyboard shortcut:
press the right hand shift key down for about eight seconds of so until you
hear a sound effect. If this doesn't work, open the ease of access centre
(windows key+u), tab to the make the keyboard easier link and open it, then tab
to the turn on filter keys check box, and press spacebar to uncheck it.
David.

Hi,
Windows 7, jfw11
Following on from my message the other day, new Toshiba l450-188 laptop arrived
but I had to get sighted asistance, narrator wouldn't load.
Anyway, I have JFW11 on now but I can't get navigating around the machine
without having to hold down every key for a short moment, then I hear a soft
click then jaws announces what's nex. For example, press tab key and you hear a
soft click, nothing happens, press tab key and hold it down until it clicks a
second time, and jaws blurts out TAB. Even in lists or arrowing round the
desktop icons, I have to hold the arrow key down until it clicks a second time,
then it will move in the direction I wwant.
Any ideas anyone? I have now sinceupdated jfw to the latest version released
there earlier this month, still the same. Sounds like a system thing, but I
just can't work this one out.
