  Sounds like the update went wrong somewhere. Try a repair of JAWS. Hope 
that helps.

      Marsha, check to see if screen echo is not set to none, otherwise JAWS 
won't read anything in lists, for example. To change this temporarily, press 
insert+s. If you want to change it permanently:
      1. Open up Configuration Manager with Insert 6.
      2. I'll assume you want this to apply to all applications, so press 
shift control d to open the default configuration file.
      3. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press u on user 
options. The user options dialogue box appears.
      4. Tab to the echo group of radio buttons, and make sure that 
highlighted text is checked.
      5. Press enter. The user options dialogue box closes.
      6. Press control s to save your configuration.
      7. Close Configuration Manager.
      Hope that helps.

          I seem to have lost the voice for the desktop icons.  When I 
installed the latest Jaws version, the desktop icons became silent.  When I 
click  Windows+M, it says WindowsM.  After that it is silent as long as I am 
on the desktop.  To my knowledge, I haven't made any changes.  Could someone 
please help?  Luckily I can still use Jaws 7;  however I would like to be 
able to use Jaws 8.  Any help would be appreciated.

        Marsha
