Hi David, Jaws silence is a known bug, but the Windows command works correctly. There is nothing you can do in the config file to fix this issue. To get speech back just unload Jaws and hot-key it back.This may occur more than once per Jaws session , but just grin and bare it.

What did I do wrong? Did I hit something to make JAWS not speak these commands? I am using JAWS 11 and XP-home. Thanks for any assistance.
