Hi Margret. To find out how much battery status you have, use jaws key, plus shift, plus b. If you are plugged in, it says battery status not found. If you go to your system tray it will sho you something like on ac power if you are, or a percentage remaining. click that, and you can go into your power options and find out from there. I'll write more when I'm awake. The time change got me good. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2007 11:01 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Computer Battery
