Subject: [access-uk] Starting out with a Mac

Hi,

I've just bought an x-display Apple Mac Book running Leopard.

I had understood that pressing command f5 should load Voiceover automatically. However, when I powered the Mac on and got to the main screen, nothing happens when I pressed it.

Visually, an empty bar briefly pops up then disappears, but there is no speech forthcoming.

I was slightly surprised on startup because the manual suggested that a setup assistant should pop up the first time I turned it on, but this didn't happen, perhaps because the machine is an x-display model.

I am currently reinstalling the OS to see if this makes voiceover load, but I would appreciate any hints people may have in the meantime or if this doesn't work.

Thanks,

Ed
