Hi Flor, Okay, after reading until my ears started spinning I realized this keyboard is way more than I would want to deal with after installing the software. Also, after playing around with it a little more, I don't like the damn thing! LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL
It has several buttons / keys that can be bumped very easily on accident that can cause unexpected things to happen! Like, muting the system sounds. It's a good thing that I run Jaws off a separate soundcard. Perhaps I will grow to like this thing after much more time getting to know it. I want to thank you & the others for all your help & patience with me. I appreciate it very much. Take care.
