Paul, With Windows XP the need to tab twice is when you have two or more XP accounts set-up. I have to do this too as I have set up separate accounts for the family members. Have you tried using Narrator at this point? If you hit the Windows Key and the letter U this will bring up the Utilities Manager and enable you to set Narrator speaking whenever you start up the Utility Manager again. You can then hear what happens as you tab and cursor around the logon screen.
Hope this is of help. Regards, Ian.

I wanted to make sure that I was correct, so I called my sighted wife in to watch while I booted up my computer. If I press enter at the prompt, nothing happens at all. I have to tab twice. The first tab brings me to the prompt to shut down the machine. The second tab brings me to my name. So I have to press tab twice then enter to bring up my machine. Just pressing enter does absolutely nothing on my computer. Secondly, when I got my 5.0 cd in December, and installed keysync and active sync off of the cd, no prompt ever appeared asking me to install dot net framework. Both programs just installed. I had had dot net framework on my machine in the past before reformatting and reinstalling windows, but didn't like it since I had to tab twice and press enter each time I wanted to bring up my machine. I don't know if it would be different if I had a password on my computer, but I have never had one. Perhaps if I had a password, it would behave differently. However, Now, I just press tab twice and then enter. But if dot net framework was required for keysync 1.0, I never had to install it. Until this new keysync, I could turn my computer on and it would boot up straight through the music to my desktop. At 4/18/2004, you wrote: >Hi Paul. Firstly, you don't need to tab twice.
