How long have you had your Toshiba M645-4070? Did you find the touch sensitive media keys above the keyboard to be a problem? I did, and was able to work with Toshiba Technical support to turn them off. Now I am trying to learn the Function key commands to do those same tasks. Do you use JAWS with the Laptop Keyboard setting or the Desktop setting? I've always used Desktop on every other laptop I've owned, but finding it impossible so far on this one. The embedded numpad does not allow for the arrow keys and the other keys so that I can execute the various JAWS reading commands. Any suggestions?

[JAWS-Users] trouble reading windows live mail messages.
Hi all. It seems like there’s no longer a virtual cursor in the body of email messages. even composing this one, if I were to read a reply, I need to route jaws to pc to read some of it I’m never sure if I can read it all in one message or not. I’m using the latest update of Jaws 12, and a Windows seven sixty-four bit machine. This just started happening. I did try to turn it on again, thinking I hit the wrong keystroke but nothing I’ve done worked yet. I’m also having trouble Jaws retaining focus when I hit control N to bring up a new message in Windows live mail. It says Lost focus, and I have to end the process in task Manager maybe once, like this time, but maybe sometimes three or four times before it will recognize what I want to do. If any of these topics have been covered, I apologize but it’s become quite a chore to read mail, so I may have missed some answers. Thanks for all the help, Siobhan For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ Send any questions regarding list management to: jaws-users-list-ow...@jaws-users.com
Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws volume fading down on Toshiba laptop
Thanks Cesar and other on this list who offered ideas on how to resolve my JAWS issues on my new computer. After much experimentation, we figured out that the problem was a little check box called Sounds Effects that needed to be unchecked. I will most likely install JAWS 12 and switch over to Laptop Keyboard layout. Thanks again!

I used the laptop keyboard setting since I can both the capslock and the insert keys as my Jaws key. Initially, the touch sensitive soft keys were also my problem but I learned to avoid them. Annette, try updating your sound card driver. If after the update the problem is still there, install the latest version of Jaws 12 even in demo mode only. and see if the same problem occurs.

You can enter whatever you like in there. I put in the websites, usernames and passwords. You can also put in anything you want to keep safe, like account numbers. Is that what you're asking?
