well I thought I had done it but sadly not. Andrew will send a screen shot to sighted friend to show him what it should look like I sat here until 2 am just trying. Today I went to look at laptop and although all loaded up on screen not a squeak out of it. It is no good trying Narrator either all sound has vanished. It is that darned System tray and I think it is muted again. Unless you have a sighted person around you are lost if this happens. Phil Medway once gave a lot of detail on this Soundmax Control business but when all sound is gone it really is a no hope job. Tomorrow I have workmen descending upon me and it will be chaos dirt drilling and just awful Work that should have been done was delayed. I am going to bribe a workman to try and raise Sound, leave them to it and take the laptop down the garden it works fine in a small summerhouse I shall be well out of it all unless of course they cut through the electric cables. On second thoughts best turn all off and put dust sheets around. Truly I have been up all night . Incidentally I read Tristram's post and have to hand it to him he knows his onions and sets out a good case very well. I am sure in India they are way ahead they had a thriving film-making business and I would not be surprised if in the field of technology they are way ahead.
