This is not a way to get it working. To access the run dialogue, hit the Windows key, then type R as in run. Jaws should say "Run Type the name of a program, folder, document, or Internet resource, and Windows will open it for you." Now for something harmless, type in favorites, hit enter and a list of favorites should open. Even though your computer is new, the manufacturer likes to put links in favorites. Alt F4 to get out. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith Bron To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2006 12:41 PM Subject: run function Hi all, On my new computer with windows xp the run function does not work.
