Well, Beto, you're not specific enough. Do you have speech at all? If not, it may be a soundcard issue. Secondly, there is no Jaws 5.1, so what version are you using exactly? If you have speech but jaws just isn't reading highlighted items, what operating system are you using? Have you set the display, folder, taskbar etc. settings according to recommended settings? If that doesn't help, then what is your video card? Did you have speech and just lost it recently? If so, what has changed? Did you install new drivers? Can you do a system restore or a driver rollback?

I know for sure this is not just aSystematic to me, and as a result I am re-sending it again. Please respond to me on or off the list serve. I will notify the list when I get a response which works. For some reason, my copy of JAWS 5.1 is not speaking when it is suppose to. For example, when I press the Windows Key, JAWS does not speak. When I minimize all applications JAWS does not say, "Desktop". When I'm in MS Word, and I press control, O, then shift tab, JAWS does not speak what is in My Documents. Can anyone please help? Thanks, Beto Escobar III, LMSW Post Script: I've already sent this in to Freedom Scientific and I'm waiting a response from them as well. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
