Hi Barry, Well, the reason I could not launch the VO utility was that I needed to use the FN key. Command F5 starts VoiceOver by default which confused me. Now I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate the need for using the FN key; I know that's in the VO manual, so I'll go look for that option.

Apparently, they have cmd-f5 set up as a hot key in some way. I didn't know that Eset had a version of nod32 for the Mac. <smile> On Sep 8, 2009, at 8:01 PM, Les Kriegler wrote: > > I powered up my Mac and did some experimenting.
