Mike, Very interesting. Something to think about before I return the computer to Amazon. I might give MS accessibility a call on this. Greg

What I did was to change my update settings to, Download updates but let me choose whether to install them, & let the computer just sit there & run for several hours sitting on the Desktop. Then I went to Windows Updates & I had almost 250 updates to be installed. There have been problems with the Windows updating service, which was verified by Microsoft Accessibility. Actually I had to let the computer run for several hours on 2 back to back days before the updates came down. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

I'm thinking I will return this computer to Amazon since it also does not seem to be able to update windows. When I click on check for updates it stays at 0 until it times out. Also it reports it has never updated.

The notebook has a dedicated AMD graphics card and I'm wondering if that is causing the problem. I have emailed FS support.

It's called keyboard help. The keystroke you are looking for is, Jaws key + 2 on the number row. HTH, Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Washington" <gregw...@comcast.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2016 5:48 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to adjust keyboard options in latest Jaws 17 For some reason on my new Dell notebook computer I cannot find where to have Jaws speak the keys as I type. I looked in Jaws basic options and found nothing to do with how I want Jaws to respond as I type. I would like Jaws to speak each key as I type. I thought this was the default setting but apparently not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using Windows 7 on this computer with latest Jaws 17 update.
