David,
Thanks for this, but we're half way there....
In the ease of access area, the filter keys box was unchecked. However, when
I hold down the right shift key for the eight seconds, bingo, up comes the
sound effect, and jaws sets off in perfect navigation mode.
So now, I re boot.... and it comes back on again.
So now, I'm looking at how to save this setting.... I couldn't even find the
way to set a restore point which might have done the trick. Holding down
that right shift fixes things great, but when I wake up tomorrow, it'll be
screwed up again.... sorry if this is kids stuff here, but any ideas on how
to save my settings?
Cheers, Robin

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.
