Dear Eleni,
I have done most of what you suggested, but will do everything you
suggested, and what I did do, I shall do again!
Thanks Eleni!

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Problem, F2 Key does not work
Hi Alan,
I really have no idea what's going on but I'll ask a few perhaps
silly questions. First, have you tried rebooting? Second, have you
tried disconnecting and then reconnecting the keyboard, or if it's a
usb one and you have multiple ports, have you tried connecting it to
another port. Third, have you tried cleaning the keyboard?
Sometimes, keys die or they just need to be cleaned. However, since
the key works for some things, I doubt it's that. Perhaps, you should
run an antivirus and/or antispyware program just to make sure
nothing's playing with your machine.
Good luck,
Eleni

Dear Friends,
If I ever wanted to change the name of a file or folder I have always
just
highlighted it, hit my f2 key, and either deleted the current name , or
backed space the old name out and typed a new one in!
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!
