Hi, Robert:
    Thanks for this suggestion. I've done it this way but when I restart the 
computer, my default eloquence comes back up because I used eloquence prior to 
having this Braille display. I know I'm a royal pain in the neck but just let 
it go because it's Christmas grin.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
Everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown up Christmas list.

  the other way of doing it is 
  insert j
  arrow to languages
  open profiles
  choose no speech and enter
  This remains until you change it.

    Hello, Dave, there is no selection in the synthesizer options for start 
with no speech, the first option is allow wave files with software 
synthesizers" Do I need to insert a disk and runner  repair?

      Kerri:

      Follow the steps below to permanently turn off speech in JAWS.

      1.  Press INSERT/JAWS KEY+6, (the number 6 above the letters).  This 
opens the Configuration Manager.

      2.  Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the "default.jcf" (Default JAWS 
Configuration file.

      3.  Press ALT+S to open the "Settings" Menu.

      4.  Press the letter "S" to open the "Synthesizer" dialog box.

      5.  Press the letter "N" to select the "No Speech" synthesizer option.

      6.  Press ENTER to accept your choice.  This will also close the 
Synthesizer dialog box and Settings Menu and will return you to the open screen 
of the Configuration Manager.

      7.  Press CTRL+S to save the change you made to the "default.jcf" file.

      8.  Press ALT+F4 to close the Configuration Manager.

      9.  Press INSERT/JAWS KEY+F4 to close JAWS and press ENTER on the OK 
button to confirm that you really want to close and unload the JAWS program.

      10.  If you only have one version of JAWS installed on your computer, 
press WINDOWS KEY+M, which minimizes all applications and gives focus to the 
Desktop.

      11.  Press the letter "J" to highlight JAWS and press ENTER to launch the 
program.

      12.  If you have one or, more than one, version of JAWS installed on your 
computer, press WINDOWS KEY+R to open the "Run" dialog box.

      13.  Type, "JAWSXX".  Replace "xx" with the version number you are using, 
without the quotes and with no spaces.  Press ENTER to start JAWS with no 
speech.  If I am correct, you have been able to do this since JAWS Version 6.

      The advantage in using steps 12 and 13, is that they can be used anywhere 
within Windows or within any application.

      To have JAWS start with speech, follow the steps above, making the 
appropriate change in step 5.

      HTH

      Sincerely:

      Dave Durber
