Hi Tony,
Because generally all laptops seem to have different layouts for their
keyboards, it would be best that on a laptop to go into control panel and
look for system. Press enter on system and you will be in the same area.

Paul,
As a matter of interest for the future perhaps where is that pause key to be
found on a laptop?

Hi Paul,
I realized now I made a "typo" this morning in my haste, please
forgive me
as I am only human it seems,*smiles*.
The keystroke should be as follows:
Winkey + pause key.
The pause key can be found on a typical desktop keyboard up on the
top
right side of your keyboard as the key to the "right side" of a
group of
three keys for anyone who isn't sure.
Paul.

Hi Paul
Pretty sure I've already downloaded the XP Service Pack but I tried
your
instructions just to see. When I press winkey plus enter from the
open
desktop, nothing happens and when I try to read as per your
instructions, I
just get the desktop info.
Don't know what I may be doing wrong.
Paul

Hi Susan,
Follow these instructions to find out what service pack you have:
1. While on your desktop with nothing open, press and hold down
windows key
and then press enter key.
Note: This will open up the system settings section of your
computer.
2. Next "route jaws to PC", do this by pressing and holding down the
jaws
key and then pressing the jaws cursor key which is the minus key on
your
numpad "top right side".
3. Now press number pad "9" to page up to the top of this screen.
4. Finally use number pad "2" key to move down through this system
window
till you come to the section that indicates what windows operating
system
you have and which service pack if any you have installed. If you
only have
service pack 1 or 2 then you can install SP3.
Why you should install a service pack could be for a number of
reasons. A
service pack contains updated drivers and other files that help
enhance the
over-all performance of your windows operating system and keep it in
good
order.
Paul.
