Hi Carol,
To be honest, it's always a hit and miss situation to use hot keys when
they are supposed to be available. The easiest way to access AppGet is
to open the Window-Eyes control panel, press Alt-A to open the App menu,
pressA twice to focus the AppGet app option, and then press Enter twice
to run AppGet. By the way, if you want to search for apps using AppGet,
just press Control-F to initiate a find in the main AppGet Window.
AppGet works well enough for me.
hth,
Rod

I got tired of this happening, so I disabled the App Get app and I use
the Install Packages app instead. Whenever I want to type into an
edit box on IE, it happened quite often. Since I have stopped the App
Get app, I have not had the problem. By the way, the problem did not
happen all of the time, but it would happen enough to be
frustrating,and I would never know when it was going to. Sometimes,
closing out WE would help, but more often than not, I would need to
restart my computer.
As an aside, I like the Install Packages app better because I do not
have to guess at categories for the app I would like to install. They
are all listed alphabetically in a list for easy choosing. This would
be a great option for the App Get app, if anyone would like to
consider making this an option.

Grant,
John mentioned you might have a bad keyboard, because the hotkey
combination of windows+g starts the appGet app running (which is what
is happening to you, but you aren't pressing the windows key right?)

*Subject:* get apps question
For several months now I have been experiencing a problem when I
start my PC fir thing in the morning. The problem is: whenever I hit
the letter g on my keyboard I get a popup screen that says "get
apps". I cancel the screen and the next time I hit the letter g it
comes back. This happens repeatedly.
Questions:
1. Why is this happening?
2. Have I pick up a virous of some sort?
3. Could this be a part of WindowEyes updates or some other program
or problem?
4. How do I determine the source of this "get apps"?
5. How might I get rid of it or turn it off?
Grandpa DOS will be forever grateful for a solution to this issue!
