Hi, I use an amd chip on my laptop, and intel quad core on my desktop, and I don't see any difference. The problem I find is using WE9.1 with specific programs. I also recommend getting your computer from a store, like Costco, that will return your money for any reason. Good luck, Manny On

Hello Rick: I understand your frustration. It is amazing the number of posts dedicated to this subject. Yet, I did not see this topic mentioned during any of the Version 9 beta testing, despite the fact that Dell eliminated this key as far back as 2012. As a developer, I understand the difficulty

Apparently, Dell has been shipping keyboards for quite a while without the Num Lock key. The folling is a link to a posting about this issues dating back to 2012 and lasting for two years. However, there was never a satisfactory answer for toggling the function. http://en.community.dell.com/suppor

Hi, When you have advance options disabled (when you install Window-eyes fresh) you only get a small number of features displayed in the Window-eyes control panel. If you enable advance options you have access to every feature in Window-eyes from within the control panel. For example default yo

It is also good to keep in mind that the laptop layout together with using the CAPSLOCK key as the Window-Eyes key works pretty well. I really don't understand why some of the changes to keyboards have been made, but such things appear to be a part of life, and there are many things about the

Hi: So, if there is to be a setting in the Window-eyes control panel to unlock the numlock, as rick said, this setting would also have to remap the number keys on the number pad to perform the alternate numberpad functions, I don't even know if this would be possiblee. Kevin Huber On 4/25/15, Ric

Hi Rick: Another one that I have tried and liked is Sharpkeys. You do not need to write code or creat a script to change the function of one or more keys on your keyboard. You can learn more about it from: www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys. Kevin Huber On 4/26/15, Rick Thomas via Talk wrote: > Hi:

No actually the num-pad five sends a completely different code then number 5 on the intermedia pad. This is how programs like winamp know if you have issued a number 5 on the num-pad or not. That being said keyboard codes are keyboard codes and they don't change from device to device. They do
