Hi,

I thought of that one, except if the regular VO-m isn't getting her up to the 
Menubar, then I question if VO-k will work given that the keys may be mixed up 
to begin with.

Later...

   I am jumping in at this point. There is a very easy test that she can do to 
verify key placement. Do a VO-k and Voiceover will announce any valid key or 
key combinations. Press escape to get out of this mode.

  Remember that on a windows keyboard the alt and ctrl keys are not
together,

  On the left hand side of the space bar you have from right to left,
  Ctrl, windows key or command key on a mac and then alt or option on
a mac,

  Your friend needs to hold down ctrl and alt / option and hit M to
bring up the menus,

  Give that a try,

Subject: windows keyboard not passing some of the commands to voice over?

Hello
I am trying to help one of my friends on her mac.
she is using a windows bluetooth keyboard the command that allows you
to get in to a minue isn't working what so ever so fore example when I
open a app I can't get to the minues is there something that I need to
change?
we tried several keyboards external and bluetooth the command only
works when using the macbook keyboard.
surely there is a way to fix so folks can use non apple keyboards?
if any one could help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Hank
