Try to run Narrator, nothing happens. In utility manager I go to Narrator and hit start. JFW says 'narrator is running', waits two seconds or so, and says ' Narrator is not running.' I have run SFC and rebooted, but Narrator is not corrected. I am running JFW5.0812 (but this was true with 4.51 as well) with Windows XP Home and a TrippleTalk PC. Does the tripple talk somehow befuddle the Narrator speech? Or does the JFW SAPI install confuse it? I have turned off JFW and tried running Narrator, and no go there either. Any other suggestions or useful history? thanks, Ann -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
