Cindy, Since you know that JAWS is loaded; you could try the following: With S A Mobile running; press JAWS key + control + S which will bring up a list of JAWS voice profiles. You may be on the "NoSpeech" profile. Arrow down to Eloquence and press enter. If you have already tried this one; you could use S A Mobile and un-install JAWS, restart your machine then try reinstalling JAWS.

Make sure your sound card is not muted and if you are using Windows Vista make sure the jaws application itself is not muted. Remember starting with Windows Vista you can have different speech settings for each application. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cindy Handel Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 7:25 AM To: JFW Subject: Big JAWS problem I don't know how this happened. But, last night, I switched from Eloquence to my Double Talk synthesizer. When I went to switch back, Double Talk stopped talking, but Eloquence didn't come back. I haven't been able to get JAWS talking again on my desktop computer. I've tried to unload JAWS and load another version, I've rebooted the computer, several times. I can tell that JAWS loads when the computer is started, but it won't talk. I also put the JAWS 10 disk in to try to repair and it doesn't talk, either. I started S A Mobile and was able to tell, with that voice, when I was on the JAWS tab. I pressed alt for the menu and could tell the options, utilities and help menus are there, but not language. Would doing a system restore fix this? I'm so glad I have my laptop, or I'd really be in a mess. I really hope someone can help.
