[Perform-talk] Request for tips, Jaws w Laptops

[Cameron]

Hi.  I've never used calculator on a laptop, if you use that a lot, you
could get a USB number pad...

A couple more laptop related items...

In laptop keyboard mode, your caps lock key becomes your insert key so you
hold it down like you would insert.  And when you want to use caps lock for
it's normal purpose, you press it quickly two times, then jaws will say caps
lock on, or, caps lock off.

I've had a few different laptops and I've very rarely hit the mouse pad or
buttons by accident.  However, you can disable the mous if you go to control
panel, system, hardware page, tab down and hit the device manager button,
this will bring up a tree view, arrow down to mice and other pointing
devices and hit the right arrow to explore that branch, and find your mouse.
It will be called, sinaptics pointing device, for example.  Hit enter on it
and a dialogue will come up, you'll be on the general page.  Tab down until
you get to a radial button list of options and arrow down once.  This should
select do not use this device.  Then hit okay and you should be good to go.

I hope that helps.

Cameron.

Hi Friends,
I use Jaws 9 and I'm on the verge of buying a laptop. I have two 
questions -- well, three if you count the one that goes, "What else am I 
supposed to ask that I am not aware of?"
First, if I get one with a calculator, do I still set Jaws up using the 
Laptop configuration?
Second, The mouse pads are in the front where I could easily touch them 
accidentally. Is there a way around this?
Thanks
Donna
