Hi Ed, sorry to say, I had the same problem, using a Dell laptop and vista 32. I too had to give up the very useful script.
I think it may be a while before this issue is tackled, so I'm slowly trying to work out the finger yoga needed to use the fn key, plus another key which together map to insert, then plus the window eyes keys, to make my commands. this is the solution suggested by Raul, and for laptops, I do believe that unless you're able to use a full-size keyboard, it's the best you can do.

That was one feature of JAWS I appreciated. The script to replace the Caps lock key, therefore, is a good idea in theory. Using it on either my IBM Thinkpad T-43 or T-60 (using Windows XP), however, produces an undesirable side-effect, or at least appears to do so. I've had numerous instances in which the keyboard became confused. For example the control key or the alt key appeared to be "stuck," and there was no way to release them -- not even so I could get to the control panel in Window-Eyes and turn off scripting. It has happened often enough with both machines that I've now turned off that script. The problem went away. Perhaps this is unique to Thinkpads. Thought I'd check.
