What problems are people having with 14? I haven't had a single problem with 
it yet and I've been using it since it came out.

>> Hi, all.

>> Here's an update on my newly-acquired Dell Lattitude D600 laptop.
>>
>> First, I have successfully turned off the touch pad mouse.  It took the
>> XYL's sighted assistance to get into the bios, but we ultimately were
>> successful.  If needed, I can still use an external USB mouse, which is a
>> relief as well.
>>
>> I do have one more dilemma I'm wrestling with, so any suggestions would

>> appreciated.
>>
>> Specifically, I am unable to control the volume of the laptop speakers 
>> via

>> main
>> keyboard.
>>
>> I can control the volume by using the control key plus page up or page
>> down,
>> but it's a bit  clumsy.
>>
>> If anyone has any suggestions for re-activating the main laptop volume
>> control, I'd appreciate them.
>>
>> On the positive side, Jaws installed very easily onto the laptop, and
>> responds very well to various key commands, so I am making progress.
>>
>> My next task is to start installing the various ham-related programs that

>> typically use, including rig interface, and the N3FJP logging software.
>>
>> Thanks again, everyone, and Happy New Year!
