Hi Everyone,
Thanks for that info.
I have another weird issue with this loving Netbook. lol.
Some times when I open Windows Explorer to go to my C drive, or an SD
card, or Thumb drive, It's like Windows Explorer exploades, and opens
up several times. One time, I had 14 sessions of Windows Exploader open. lol.
I've seen this on another Netbook, as well, but that was mostly when
I was using the loving little program, called Just Zipit. I love that
program, but it does exactly that on my Desktop, also. lol.
Thanks.
Pat Ferguson Always loving Window-Eyes and my loving Netbook.

number at the moment.
Many thanks.

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*.

I personally use the mswind u100 which is very good indeed
and works with window eyes very well.
