Hi,
Just a note, when trying to do this on my desktop we were not able to get to
the hotkey options this way, so here may be another alternative if the KB
route doesn't work. The "Hotkey" options could be found with the mouse. So,
once I clicked on the Intel Graphics in the control panel, then I just used
the mouse from the top to move down until I found "hotkeys" then clicked on
it and took care of the checkbox and tabbed over to the "ok" button.
I did not perform this on a NetBook just a desktop.

GWKB1022 : Speech Parameter Hot Keys Do Not Speak
Product
:
Window-Eyes
Category
:
Solution
Author

Symptom:
Using Window-Eyes 5.0, or greater, when pressing the Speech Paramters hot
keys (CTRL-ARROW
KEYS by default) Window-Eyes will not indicate the current speech
parameter
setting.
Cause:
An Intel video application running in the background uses these keys to
modify various
video settings, such as screen rotation.
Solution:
You will need to disable the Intel hot keys, by performing the following
general
steps:
1. Open the Windows control panels
2. Open the Display control panel
3. Select the Settings tab
4. Select the Advanced button
5. Select the Intel(R) Extreme Graphics option
6. Select the Graphics Properties option
7. Select the HotKeys option
8. Uncheck Enable Hot Keys option
You may also be able to open the Graphic Properties options using
CTRL-ALT-F12.

In XP, go to Control Panel, and look for something like Intel
Graphics. Hit enter, and go through the options until you see
something like "Enable quick keys". uncheck the box and make sure
that you hit all the OK's on the way out.

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.

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.

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.
