Hi Alan. Be sure it is not your keyboard. I recently had some strange problems with my computer and the last thing I thought to check was to switch out the keyboard. This may not be your problem at all, but worth the mention and an easy fix, if it is the problem.
Good luck.

I have always done this! All of a sudden, just now, it does not work! I only hear "Edit", and cannot even read the name of the file or folder after I hit f2 on it. This is so very strange and disconcerting for me, as I use this option a lot. I am using XP-Home, JAWS 9.0.519 and I really could use some help. What Happened? I must have done something to disable this f2 key. The strange thing, it does work for example on the icons on my Desk Top, so it simply cannot just be the key itself. Can some one please help me figure this out! Thanks very much!
