You have to basically click the set up filter keys link, make sure filter keys is unchecked and the second box is unchecked, then *shift* tab to ok, activate that, then click ok. Hope this helps.

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?

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. original message: 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.
