Thanks Gene, yes, I've used other NVDA keys and they seem a little iffy;

especially when the computer first boots.  Like: the time and date key

tells me the system volume; the screen review and object review doesn't

work.  By the time I get to the read line and quit keys, most things are

working.  Except for the time; and that's a favorite.  I guess I should

try more keys.  So I did a reset and now the computer does not come up

talking.  So I have to try to remember how to get NVDA loaded from a

portable copy on a USB stick.  Well, I haven't given up yet.  Good thing

I have two working computers.
