Re: [Blind-Computing] Computer Components
What I think Trish is asking for is how to go into the "Device Manager" and discover exactly what hardware components are configured for her system. 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?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Computer Components
Press the Windows key to bring up the start menu and focus will be in the search field. Type Device Manager and hit enter. I find that much faster than navigating the Windows 7 Control Panel. But device manager can also be found by browsing the control panel but I don't remember where to locate it. -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Bill Gallik Sent: 5. januar 2012 13:06 To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Computer Components What I think Trish is asking for is how to go into the "Device Manager" and discover exactly what hardware components are configured for her system.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Computer Components
Hi Bill, It is still called Device Manager, in Windows 7, however, how you get to it is a little different. 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.
