[nfbcs] F12 not working on JAWS

[Christopher Chaltain]

She clarifies that she's talking about JAWS in the subject line.


My question is what kind of computer are we talking about here. Dell 
laptops, for example, let you toggle the function keys between standard 
function keys or multimedia keys. Stacie, what happens if you try 
holding down the FN key, the JAWS key and F12 at the same time? Do you 
get the time then? If so, you'll need to toggle off the multimedia keys. 
On a Dell laptop I think it's something like FN+Escape.

The F12 button typically tells me the time and date when I press it but somehow now the button does not tell me the time or date and just say :F12." I am not sure if I did something to turn it off or whatever. Can someone tell me how I can get this button to work again? Thanks in advance.
