Hello Chris,
If you have either Windows XP home or XP Pro, Narrator is available to use.
The easiest way to launch it is to do the following:
1. Hit Control + Escape
2. Press "r" to get to the run command line box.
3. type "narrator" without the quote marks and hit enter to start Narrator.
Note: Narrator uses your sound card to speak.
When you first start Narrator, it will display a help window which contains
a summary of how to use this very basic screen-reading utility. You should
familiarize yourself with using it before actually needing to use it in an
emergency.
Another way to simplify launching Narrator would bwe to find it in the
programs/accessories in the start-up menu and create a hotkey for it. That
way, whenever JFW goes silent, you can easily launch it.

Hi listers. In the past, I've seen references to something called Narrator
as a useful tool when JAWS crashes. I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with
Narrator. I am wondering what this is, where it is, and how it works. If
it is something that could help me when JAWS goes down and I can't get it
back up and running without hard booting the computer it would sure be
helpful.
Thank you,
Chris Feist - The one and only!
