Let me reinforce what both Mike and Maria have said. Windows Update has suddenly become unpredictable, and I also had an inexplicable experience with the character/word key echo feature. Regarding Mike's suggestion for Windows Update, mine is different, but I'd follow his recommendation. Regarding key echo, I found, as Maria posted, that I had to change the setting in the insert-v JAWS quick settings for every application I run. I also made the change Mike described in the insert-6 JAWS settings center, but although it may have confirmed my insert-v settings, it wasn't enough.
I'd try to resolve these issues before returning your computer. I'd also keep in mind that the holiday weekend is upon us, so tomorrow will be the last day in four that FS will take you call. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Washington Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2016 10:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to adjust keyboard options in latest Jaws 17 Mike, Very interesting. Something to think about before I return the computer to Amazon. I might give MS accessibility a call on this.

What I did was to change my update settings to, Download updates but let me choose whether to install them, & let the computer just sit there & run for several hours sitting on the Desktop. Then I went to Windows Updates & I had almost 250 updates to be installed. There have been problems with the Windows updating service, which was verified by Microsoft Accessibility. Actually I had to let the computer run for several hours on 2 back to back days before the updates came down. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

I'm thinking I will return this computer to Amazon since it also does not seem to be able to update windows. When I click on check for updates it stays at 0 until it times out. Also it reports it has never updated.

The notebook has a dedicated AMD graphics card and I'm wondering if that is causing the problem. I have emailed FS support.

It's called keyboard help. The keystroke you are looking for is, Jaws key + 2 on the number row. HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Washington" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2016 5:48 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to adjust keyboard options in latest Jaws 17 For some reason on my new Dell notebook computer I cannot find where to have Jaws speak the keys as I type. I looked in Jaws basic options and found nothing to do with how I want Jaws to respond as I type. I would like Jaws to speak each key as I type. I thought this was the default setting but apparently not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using Windows 7 on this computer with latest Jaws 17 update.
