I have a Jaws 7 Pro question I am hoping someone can help me with. I am using Windows XP home edition and was previously using JAWS 5.1 Standard. In the last couple of days I upgraded to JAWS 7 Pro as I was told that this version would work with Windows XP Home Edition. When I installed it, I was asked to shut down the computer and restart it so the necessary changes could be made. I did this and installed Jaws with sighted assistance. When the computer restarted it worked fine and Jaws spoke. I also set Jaws to start up immediately as soon as windows started up. Later, when I tried restarting the computer again, Jaws would not speak. It would start up automatically but would not speak. I checked to make sure that the speech wasn't set so that it didn't speak at all and it was set to speak words so don't see a problem there. Just wondered, does anyone have any idea as to why it might not be working? Regards, Vicki Email: lola1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
