Hello Jackie and all, I have never had success with your proposed method. However, pressing the Windows key, and typing in the word: narrator and press the enter key, works for me. You might wish to alter a few of her settings, she is rather silent for me and needs maximum volume.

I need to install JAWS, but want Narrator turned on first as it's a new machine. I've never used Narrator before, but heard the keystroke is Windows U to turn it on, but need confirmation that this is all that is required, or is there a further command to initiate speech? Thanks for any quick answer.
