Hi Don John R. here there could be a few things here wrong. first. question. does the windows start menu come up when you hit the windows key, located bottom row left wide, second in from the right, and the bottom row on the right side, third in from the right, please note I mean when I say in from, I mean from the left control key and the right control key only. if no menu comes up then check that your keyboard is plubbed in at the back by following your computer keyboard wire and see if it is plugged in or not if not then find where the mouse plugged in and plug it in next to there if it is a plug like the mouse plug case feels.
if you get a reply when hitting the windows key then it is a a problem setting with Jaws but as siobhan said previously in a last message she will gladly walk you through how to sort Jaws out she's probably better at explaining then me. I've used jaws too long and sometimes can be too long winded or too technical when offering help about it. yes keyboards can die as it is known but normally this is if it is under constant use or is uncared for or the power line box in the keyboard has died then you would need to buy a new one you could have it mended but I think it would be cheeper to buy a new one I hope this helps from John and guide dog Iris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Lorah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "jaws users" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 9:45 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Keyboard On my secondary computer, Windows loads and plays music, Jaws loads and speaks, Jaws for windows ... The keys on the keyboard seem dead and give no Jaws speech when depressed. Do keyboards get defective??
