I need to chime in here though it is considerably after the fact.. Remember, any changing to themes will void the current theme, which could mean that your sound scheme which you've associated with the current theme will be lost. You need also to go to sounds and audio devices, and sounds, to re-activate your sound scheme that, hopefully, you've saved. If you've not save the sound scheme that you've spent a lot of time getting just the way you like it, you'll need to re-create it. Then, save it so if you need to make changes to themes again, it can be re-associated.

In one of our computer labs, there is one computer that is running windows xp, and JAWS 8.0. The issue is that whenever myself or one of the other students attempts to use the linkslist command insertf7, it refuses to announce any of the links. visually they are up on the screen, but JAWS still says nothing.
