If I am reading your question correctly Victor you're saying that the back command isn't working while browsing around on your own computer. I don't believe it's supposed to in that particular instance. I've always had to use the shift tab key stroke to back out of a directory in my computer. You could always use the back space key itself, I think that will work as well. Lastly I have noticed over time that on certain web pages the alt left arrow key stroke doesn't work at all. At those times it is necessary to hit insert+F8 to land on the tool bar and hit enter on the back button.

Hi All, I am at a loss as to explain why a particular keyboard shortcut isn't working on my new laptop. I've always known that if you're on a web page, the keyboard shortcut to go back a page is the alt-left arrow and to go forward a page, is the alt-right arrow. For some reason I can't explain, these shortcuts aren't working. They seem to be working fine when I'm surfing a web page such as Google, Yahoo or some other page on the internet, but when I'm doing folders on my computer, the back command isn't working. Is there a certain setting in Windows or Jaws that should be checked or something like that? I'm sorry if this is off topic, I just wasn't sure if this is a Jaws problem or a Windows problem. I can do it on my desktop computer without a problem, and I've recently made changes to the settings on my laptop in accordance with Debbie's helpful hint, "FS Recommended Settings for XP". I have to say that I'm not sure if some of those settings are still o.k. as my computer is behaving pretty weird now. Does anyone have an updated version of Debbie's helpful hint? I prefer, however, to shelve the settings question for some other time, and concentrate on the shortcut question because I have a great many files to transfer over, and it's taking forever without that shortcut.
