Hi Flor, Well, this is 1 link that I haven't tried & wouldn't you know it has everything I need for both my XP & Win7 systems! I almost did not try it because it sounded so similar to 3 or 4 that I did try with no luck. I need to spend some time & read all the PDF files I downloaded but, eets looking good! Flor, thank you thank you thank you!
Also, the email Trish was talking about I had save in my Wireless Keyboard folder & the notes from it were of some help but, until I find out more about the keyboard layout I won't know just how much. Thanks again, take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool. ----- Original Message ----- From: Flor Lynch To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 6:01 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Keystroke Functionn, How Do I Change 1 Hi Mike, have you found: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/wireless-desktop-3000 There might be something there you could use. Suggestion that you telephone the Microsoft Accessibility Support line is still valid. I might also suggest you look in the JAWS users list archive (as trish suggests) but broaden the search out to include Logi-Tech and/or enabling/disabling other wireless keyboards. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 11:29 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Keystroke Functionn, How Do I Change 1 > Hi Flor, > > The, F, lock key is directly to the right of the F12 key.
