Oh right. I went in and switched that so the fn key controls the
volume and screen brightness and stuff.
Having it control the software functions got completely in my way.

That's strange. It pops up the quick start and an ultra professional
male voice starts telling me I can use my computer if I'm blind and
where to find the arrow keys.

Should I still be able to get into the quick start guide now that
I've already run the setup program? Control-Option-Command-F8 does
nothing.

David and all,
The key command for the quick start is Control-Option-Command-F8,
not Control-Option-F8. The latter just launches the VO utility.

Hi John,
I imagine you have moved on, but something that will help you out
a lot if
you can get it going at this point is the vo quickstart tutorial
It would
have come up automatically after the music stopped had you not
turned on vo
but if you can get it to work at this point, the keystroke for it
is:
control-option-f8.
To navigate through a dialog and hear all its info, use
control-option-arrows. Space toggles checkboxes, sets radio
buttons and
activates pop ups so that you can make selections. when you find
what you
want in a pop up, press enter to set it. I often tab through the
items and
then use vo keys with left arrow to hear the text of an Item if I
am not
certain what it is.
When ever I do a new mac setup, I have to use an apple keyboard
to get it
going.
There is a setting in that dialogbox to choose the type of
account you have,
pop, imap or .mac. Once you have seleced the account type, it
should accept
your email address. .mac is an email account that comes with
a .mac
subscription or trial. .mac is an apple hosted service that
provides a
bunch of features like storage, mail and web hosting.
