Hi Trish, Whenever you want to know what a particular key on the keyboard is, press Jaws / Insert Key + 1, on the number row to turn Jaws keyboard help on, then press the key to have Jaws tell you what key you are pressing. Take care. Mike

Hope this helps.

However, my computer is not on my win 7 desktop. So do I do a search for it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David" <davidwhitehead1...@cogeco.ca> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2012 8:15 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Computer Components Hello trish; Use the keystroke, Windows-key+pause, Or, Go to computer, Highlight C Drive, Now bring up properties with alt+enter, Now rout jaws to pc, you will find the information.

What I didn't find and want to know is, size of the hard drive, amount of memory, where would that be through the search feature?

In Windows 7, you can simply type the following in the search box on the start menu: device manager Alternatively, if God Mode is being used, then a person can open that folder and find device manager in the list, and hit enter.

For example, I can do this by: 1) Opening the "SETTINGS" item on the main menu and selecting "Control Panel" 2) Selecting "Device Manager" (or selecting "System" and then finding the "Device Manager" tab) 3) Once the "Device Manager" is open, browsing (and opening closed elements - the component list. One needs to be careful not to modify any of those settings once in Device Manager unless they are certain of what they are doing, but this isn't really very risky since cancelling out is fairly obvious. This procedure gives one an exhaustive list of exactly what his/her PC is comprised of concerning hardware. Does not Windows 7 provide a "Device Manager" interface; perhaps it isn't called that in that OS? -------- Holland's Person, Bill - "The biggest seller is cookbooks and the second is diet books - how not to eat what you've just learned how to cook." - Andy Rooney - Personal Note: Thought this an appropriate quote after the Holiday splurging!
