Hi all, We have a brand new HP Pavilion DV1000 laptom with a 1.6 gig processor. It is running JFW 5.1 and Windows XP. It has an interesting issue: while trying to use it to read anything, about 50% of what is being read is read in a very strange voice, something like some alien voice, grin. The voice drops to a much more base tone, speaks very slowly, and may stutter over either words or letters. It is a bit amusing while just playing around with it, but will be a royal pain if we can't get it to work properly. We have talked of returning it to the store for another of the same make, or for a different brand, but I fear that we may just run into the same problem. Better, if possible, that we fix this one. Or, if we could figure out what the problem is, then we would have better information about what we would like to get instead. Any ideas? Thanks much, TerriLynne -- 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.
