No worries pal. I found the message that Tristram sent in the archive and I'm copying it at the end. It explains why the disabling is needed. I don't know about S&S support policy, sorry.Now what I did:-I have 9 different drivers in Sound, Video and Game Controllers. The one that had to be disabled was "ATI Function Driver for High Definition Audio - ATI AA01". I didn't want to experiment by disabling any of the 9 drivers; I was worried that I might lose the speech output all together and get stuck. So if you have a sighted help around, or you use brail display you'll be probably alright to experiment with the sound and video drivers. With Tristram's explanation below I reckon you'll figure it out on your own if one of the drivers is causing the problem that is.Snip starts- "[jaws-uk] Re: Jaws not speaking at start up Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 11:54:53 +0100 The problem revolves around a graphic adaptor which also has an audio adaptor built into it. The connection between computer is HDMI and sound can be trasmitted down this type of connection so it is most convenient if hooking up a large display for watching HD movies to have this arrangement on the assumption that the display also has some speakers. The audio adaptor on the video card was causing JAWS to go through it when no audio output was likely to be heard at the other end, there being no output device. We hadn't come across a graphic adaptor like this before at S&S however we decided that since, in a normal computing context this extra audio is not required in addition to the regular soundcard the most effective solution was to disable the secondery audio adaptor. I don't think this is likely to be a very common problem for now." Snip ends.

Would S&S deal with issues even if she's only using it in 40 minute mode?-- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx msn: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx skype: chrishallsworth7266 klango: chrishallsworth----- Original Message ----- From: "Amro Bilal" <amro_bilal@xxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 4:10 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Strange Problem with JAWS and Log On ScreenChris, I had a similar issue and it turned out that an HD driver of one of the sound and video controllers was interfering. Disabling that driver sorted it out. William of S&S was the one who cracked it. I posted an email with the details to the Jaws-UK list in early September or it might have been very late August. Tristram from S&S commented with further details on my email too. Sorry I no longer have those emails but you could check the list's archive or write to S&S if they are your dealer.HTH, Amro----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 12:21 PM Subject: [access-uk] Strange Problem with JAWS and Log On ScreenHi all, my friend's got an Acer Aspire 5720 laptop running Vista Home Premium. She can't get her JAWS 9 to speak at the log on screen, even if "Start JAWS at the log on screen" is checked. Is this her machine, or has anyone else experienced this problem, because I can't duplicate it here. All comments and queries would be greatly appreciated.
