I have a Dell Inspiron laptop running Jaws 8 and windows-XP. A sighted colleague told me that I had the desktop and all of the windows functionality however, I get absolutely no sound not even Narrator or Windows load sound. Any ideas how to make this thing talk? __________ NOD32 2815 (20080122) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
