Well, I can tell you a few things:
if you have a num pad
fn+num pad plus and minus are your volume up and down,
fn+numpad star, which basically is the same key used for a right mouse
button in jfw, is your mute toggle on and off
fn+F7 and fn+F8 are your screen brightness
Those're the only ones at this point that I know of.
I'll have to try your fn+F3.
I didn't know about that but if that works, that would be awesome!
Chris.

Hi
I agree with you, just wondering if you had had any luck with reading HP's
software, to me it us just not accessible with jaws. Like you I have just
purchased an HP laptop with same spec as yu mention.
There are hot keys for function key which I am unable to find out, I know
that funtion key f3 opens internet explorer but I am unable to read
anything on the hp shortcuts page to find out what they are, have you had
any luck in this respect?
Another problem I have is a reminder window popping up, when I had a pair
of eyes hear it was reminding me to create a set of recovery discs which I
did but I dont have a pair of eyes now and the reminder window has started
to pop up again, dont know if it is the same reminder and that I have to
check the box to not show this message again or if there something that I
should be doing. Latest jaws will not touch this reminder window, I cannot
virtualise the window or use the jaws cursor anything. any ideas if this
window can be read at all?
I would not buy anything else other Hp because I have used them in the
past and had no trouble at all, guess I have been lucky but their software
is not accessible, but I have most of it disabled anyway.
So basically my question is any ideas if it is possible to read these pop
up windows which I am assuming ar HP based and are not accessible with
jaws? and does anyone out there have a list of the function key shortcuts
with HP?
Appreciate any advice
Graham

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Real Speak voices question
OK, before anyone asks, let me throw this ball out of the way first.
Yes, I am aware of the solo direct voices. I know also how to install
'em, but that isn't the point, in this case.
I am trying to install my sapi 5 version of the Ral Speak voices. I not
only wanna be able to use these with jfw, but I got some other programs
like Speak-on, as well as K1000, Kitchen's Inc games, etc. which are self
voicing that I wanna use them with. I can't do that with the solo direct
voices as they use their own propriatary module/driver/dll libraries.
Bottom line, it won't work. Anyway, so here is my question to you pc
geeks out there like myself. I just got an hp laptop last Wednesday.
It's running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Edition. So my question is,
when I ran the installer for the real speak voices, it said they'd not
run on a 64 bit OS. So, having said that, this leads me to actually two
questions.
The first question which probably is the obvious is: is there a way to
get around this, so that I can install the sapi version, and if not, can
I get a 64 bit version from fs of the old sapi formatted installer.
My second question is, maybe I'm completely all wet here, but I was under
the impression that anything 32 bit
architect would run on a 64 bit OS. Now, granted, I know for a fact! you
can't run a 64 bit OS on a 32 bit only capable motherboard, nor, can you
run x64 programs on a 32 bit OS. That's obvious. But I thought the
annalogy worked like this:
Say you have a 4 lane highway. OK, you may wind up only driving down 2!
of those lanes, but, the point is, you can! do it. You're not taking
over the whole highway, but, you're still able to drive down it. I hear
64 bit worked much the same way. You can! run 64 bit apps, or! 32 bit
apps on 64 bit
architect, but, on the other hand, don't try running 64 bit on a 32 bit
only capable OS/hardware system. am I not understanding this whole 32/64
bit thing correctly? Actually, I don't even get the difference, really
per sey. I know better graffics, as if that really matters to me, and
faster speed, supposedly, but I've honestly not seen much speed
difference between my old 32 bit xp machine and this 64 bit win7 machine.
Hmm, Chris ponders.
Anyway, let me know you all's suggestions and maybe someone also can fill
me in on the differences in 64 vs. 32 bit, and what can run where.
Thank you kindly.
Chris.
