Hi,
it is accessed often by pressing f8 I believe it is while the pc is first
starting up allowing someone with vision to choose how they'd like to boot
the pc I.E. into system bios or safe mode or normal for instance. I've been
told by HP reps that it also can be found after pressing control alt and
delete together.
I hope that helps.
If you have a pair of eyes handy you could try that or call when they're
available and I'm sure that HP tech support could walk you through it. they
do have a special accessibility department. Its number is:
877-656-7058
I hope that helps.
Robin

Wayne and Robin,
First, thanks for responding. Wayne, I do not have those extra keys on mine.
Robin, do you know where the bios is at so that I can get sighted help to
get this working?

Hi,
Sadly with HP's the only way to change that setting is to get someone with a
pair of eyes to walk through their instructions for changing that setting in
bios. Other makes sometimes have the setting available under keyboard
settings in control panel or system but not HP sorry to say.
I wish I had better news but there you have it.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Getting the applications key working on new HP laptop
Hi all,
Just purchased a new HP laptop with no applications key. I tried the
function key and the f10 for the applications but still nothing happened, in
fact nothing is happening. I want to change the way the function key works
anyway because it is easier to use JAWS when the function key is for the
volume and tracks and the f keys are for what they normally should be. Can
anyone give pointers as to why I can't get anything to happen with the f
keys?
Thanks for any help.
Kurt
