Ah!

Forgive me folk as I too am only human! Smile!

I see it now.

It is the FN key held down and the insert key!

Cheers,

Tony

Paul,

As a matter of interest for the future perhaps where is that pause key to be found on a laptop?

 Hi Paul,

 I realized now I made a "typo" this morning in my haste, please forgive me
 as I am only human it seems,*smiles*.
 The keystroke should be as follows:

 Winkey + pause key.
 The pause key can be found on a typical desktop keyboard  up on the top
 right side of your keyboard as the key to the "right side" of a group of
 three keys for anyone who isn't sure.

 Paul.

 Hi Paul

 Pretty sure I've already downloaded the XP Service Pack but I tried your
 instructions just to see.  When I press winkey plus enter from the open
desktop, nothing happens and when I try to read as per your instructions, I
 just get the desktop info.

 Don't know what I may be doing wrong.

 Paul

 Hi Susan,

 Follow these instructions to find out what service pack you have:

1. While on your desktop with nothing open, press and hold down windows key
 and then press enter key.
 Note: This will open up the system settings section of your computer.

 2. Next "route jaws to PC", do this by pressing and holding down the jaws
 key and then pressing the  jaws cursor key which is the minus key on your
 numpad "top right side".

 3. Now press number pad "9" to page up to the top of this screen.

 4. Finally use number pad "2" key to move down through this system window
 till you come to the section that indicates what windows operating system
you have and which service pack if any you have installed. If you only have
 service pack 1 or 2 then you can install SP3.

 Why you should install a service pack could be for a number of reasons. A
service pack contains updated drivers and other files that help enhance the
 over-all performance of your windows operating system and keep it in good
 order.

 Paul.
