[nfbcs] Odd keyboard behavior

[Rob]

Hi all,

I just started using a new computer.  It has Windows XP, JAWS 10, and ZoomText 8.

I'm thinking that this is probably some kind of setting.  I've always been able to hold down the insert key and press any other key as many times as I wanted and the insert key would still be active.  Now, if for example, I perform the read line command (insert+uparrow) and continue to hold the insert and press the uparrow again, the insert key is ignored and it is as if I'm just pressing the uparrow.

Alternatively, if I hold down the alt key and press the tab key several times, the keystroke continues to acknowledge the alt key.  It appears to be specific to the insert keys.

I've been exposed to quite a number of computers through home and work, but this is the first time I've run into this one.  So if anyone has any ideas of what's going on, I would appreciate knowing them.

Thanks in advance,

-- Rob
