Hi!

Thanks guys. Yes, I was using my tower computer since 2001 and could not go past the 4.11 version because of the cost and need.
Last year i was asked to do jobs for Tompkins County involving Access 2003, thus needed upgrades; ask Chip Orange when that started.

So, received a new lap top with latest software, including both screen readers. Then the flip screen came up when the notebook died and such.

So, will check the box once I have the screen flipped back up.

Thanks guys!

Bruce

The mentioned KB article can be found at
http://www.gwmicro.com/Support/Knowledge_Base/?kbnumber=GWKB1022 The
hotkeys were changed because of conflicts with other apps. I think
Office was the primary culprit, but that change was made so very long
ago I don't even recall. You really have jumped a few WE versions,
Bruce! *smile* Dig on all that new functionality, my man.

Hi,
Your using an intel graphics display and this is why that happens.
Here's how you solve it.
You need to get in to your intel display properties. There is a short
cut to do this, but it doesn't always work. Press control alt and
function key 12 at the same time.
Look for the check box that says, "disable hot keys" and uncheck the box.
I think you then have to push the apply and okay buttons. This will
fix that for you.
There is an article about this in the knowledge base on the gwmicro
web site. I can't remember the number of it though. Sorry about that.

You may need the number pad keys to find the check box, depending how
your system is layed out.
Maybe someone else can add to my instructions and help you further.
Hope you get it taken care of and I hope this helped a little.

Hi!
Since I got my upgrade of Windoweyes the voice adjustment had chenged
from Insert key and the arrow keys to ctrl-alt key and the arrow keys.
May I ask why that was done?
Also, did anyone ever think what the ctrl-alt key and arrow keys does
when making that change?
my problem is, the ctrl-alt and arrow key combo flips the screen
orientation on notebooks.
My Del computer will flip the screen to sideways, upside down depending
on what ctrl-alt and arrow key depressed.
If the up arrow is pressed the screen is placed up right. If the left
arrow key is pressed the screen goes sideways to the left. if the down
arrow is pressed the screen goes down, or is upside down.
This happens when a web-site disables the function that Window-Ees has
placed in and no voice adjustment is possible.
I am going to school and it happened today when on the college Network
and the Network over-wrote the Window-Eyes voice adjustment controls.
Thus flipping the screen. Ehen the instructor was over to view what I
had done in the web class, I could not oirentate the screen for him to
read it properly...
This is very anoying and why did someone decide to change the adjustment
when it was fine where it use to be when using the 10 key pad insert key
and the arrow keys.
So, what can be done to fix this?
Sincerely
Bruce
