When you start your computer for the first time do this and you will need no
sighted assistance.
press the power butten and listen for the sound of the fan then weight for
at
least 3 minutes to make sure everything loads then press the windows key
plus the letter u at the same time then press the inter key and narrator
will come up talking then put in your jaws cd and follow the instructions.
there will come a time when your computer will beep at you that will mean
that the user account is running at this point press the tab key three times
then press inter then the jaws cd will begin running just follow the promps
and you should be ok. I forgot to tell you that when jaws says shet down all
screen readers then alt tab over to narrator and press alt f4 then tab down
to exit press inter then it will say focus on yes butten press inter again
then do what jaws says and you should be fine. I have dun several windows XP
and windows 7 computers this way and have had no trouble and I had no
sighted assistance.

Sighted help might be helpful since it will ask four time zone and other
things yes you could do that later but until that is done I don't think
the
desktop will come up.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and a new computer
My current laptop is malfunctioning and I purchased a new HP laptop. I
chose one that uses Windows 7 because I have MS Office 2007 and Outlook
2007
and they serve my needs. I am charging the computer now. When I turn it
on
for the first time it will have no speech capability so I don't know if it
will show instructions or updates on the screen. I will load my JAWS 15
SMA
CD and run it. Are there any traps or problems anybody has experienced in
starting their laptop for the first time? Would it be a good idea to have
sighted help for that initial start?
Any wisdom will be appreciated.
Wayne
