Marsha, check to see if screen echo is not set to none, otherwise JAWS won't
read anything in lists, for example. To change this temporarily, press
insert+s. If you want to change it permanently:
1. Open up Configuration Manager with Insert 6.
2. I'll assume you want this to apply to all applications, so press shift
control d to open the default configuration file.
3. Press alt s to open the set options menu, then press u on user options. The
user options dialogue box appears.
4. Tab to the echo group of radio buttons, and make sure that highlighted text
is checked.
5. Press enter. The user options dialogue box closes.
6. Press control s to save your configuration.
7. Close Configuration Manager.
Hope that helps.

Subject: Silent desktop sounds
I seem to have lost the voice for the desktop icons. When I installed the
latest Jaws version, the desktop icons became silent. When I click Windows+M,
it says WindowsM. After that it is silent as long as I am on the desktop. To
my knowledge, I haven't made any changes. Could someone please help? Luckily
I can still use Jaws 7; however I would like to be able to use Jaws 8. Any
help would be appreciated.
Marsha
