Mike, I have to put a fuzzy on that right non-functioning window's key. It seems I invariably will choose it, instead of the alt key. Also, the on after F12, as you already probably have discovered, will turn all the function keys to non-functioning. Another fuzzy on it too sigh. My XP system's keyboard bit the dust, so now I have another wireless on it as well, I'm pretty used to having only one window's key, but going from win 7 to XP, that poses challenging for me sometimes as I sit there trying to remember XP commands,lol
I need to remind you of that time I was trying to find the pause key to see about how much disk space or whatever the info gives for one's system, and instead managed to turn on the calculator on this wireless keyboard, and that was ok, until I wanted to close it, it wasn't closing, the rest of the keys turned into numbers, nothing worked as they should, even removing the batteries didn't reset this keyboard, and now I have forgotten how I managed to finaggle out of that nightmare. But I'll tell you this much..I'm finding another way to obtain that info on my computer if I have to search for it, and leaving that side of the keyboard alone! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 8:39 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Keystroke Functionn, How Do I Change 1 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.

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.
