The computer sounds are there, but jaws is not. It comes up fine, on the screen. That is, sighted people can see it, but I just can't hear it. As for running jaws first, i have that disabled, so it won't come up when my daughter starts it up. ----- Original Message ----- From: RAWest To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 6:01 PM Subject: RE: Strange problem with jaws. Do you have any sounds coming out of the speakers? Maybe the volume has been muted. Robert To find me you can do the following.

Hi folks. I've encountered a very weird problem with jaws. I'be been using jaws version 8.0 on my daughter's computer, but for some reason, now, when it comes up, no speech at all. I've looked at the settings, and as far as I can tell, it seems to be right. I've tried reinstalling 8.0, but it won't let me do that, giving me a message asking for my authorization disk. The authorization is up to date on there. Anyone ever had such a problem as this?
