Hello Pat. All of the computers with an Intel video card do this. When
you press control-alt-arrow keys, they rotate your screen. You will have
to disable the intel graphic card hot keys from its options. Once you do
this, they will work to adjust the speech on the fly.
Many thanks.

Hi Everyone,
I'm loving my Acer Aspire 1 Netbook, because the numpad is just like this:
FN key: J, K, L.
FN Key: U, I, O.
FN Key: 7, 8, and 9.
Now, I haven't figured out where the numpad slash for the left click of
the Window-Eyes Mouse, and the right click keys would be.
This Blue Netbook has two back slashes. One is down by the left shift
key, and that is weird, because I often hit it, when reaching for the
left shift key. The other backslash key is up by the enter key.
I love the battery life.
There is one weird thing, that is happening, however with Window-Eyes.
I can not use the control-alt down arrow or control-alt left arrow, and
right arrows. It turns the screen upside down. lol.
However, FN key, and Up arrow does raise the volume, and FN key and the
down arrow lowers the volume.
Another strange thing that is happening, is when I open up Windows
Explorer, to copy things from a thumb drive to my hard drive, it opens
several windows of Explorer with my C. drive. That is very weird. Then,
I end up having to close up a bunch of windows. lol.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate knowing them. <smile>
Thanks.
Pat Ferguson

1. fn-key together with the embedded number pad keys are disabled. So
pressing fn-key together with j k l u i o 7 8 9 does not give me the
number pad equivelements. This means that I cannot use the default
keyboard layout and the mouse movement hot keys. This means I can't
read the current line with control-number pad-5 because it would use
the embedded number pad.
2. Keys such as comma, period, and slash are too narrow which means
more typos for my fingers.
3. fn-key and control-key are switched around. On most laptops I've
used and gotten used to, the control key comes first. Then as you ggo
to the right, it goes fn-key, windows, alt, and space.
Other than those issues, it is a good machine. If you don't care about
using the number pad, or you are ok with switching keyboard layouts,
or you are ok with remapping hot keys to your likes, then number 1 is
a non-issue. If your fingers are shaped such that the comma, period,
and slash keys are not pressed wrongly quite a bit, then number 2 is a
non-issue. Lastly, there is a bios hack which allows you to switch the
fn-key and the control key so they are the "right way". So that too
can be a non-issue.
Hope this helps.

What are the other strikes?

fn-key-f3 will disable the mouse. However you will have to do this
each time you reboot. One of the many strikes I have against this
netbook *smile*.

Hi Jim
I personally use the mswind u100 which is very good indeed and
works with window eyes very well.
the only thing is I am trying to disable the mouse.
