Hi Russell, when you turn your i-mac on, and wait until it says English, then press enter, and then the setup assistant will start, and guide you through the voice over tutorial, just hope you hadn't turned voice over off.

Hi all,

I didn't think I'd get in trouble quite so soon. <smile>

I just got my beautiful iMac home and set up. I turned it on, a nice chime
played, then I heard VO say "English", and that was the end of my fun! I
couldn't get VO to say anything else. I tried tabbing, VO right and left
arrowing, even Shiftplus VO plus down arrow to try interact with
something... learned a lot from you guys. VO remained silent. I tried
command plus F5 in case VO was off, but no luck. So, I pressed the enter
key and a lovely little song played, and I thought I was in business. After
the song finished, however I still had no speech. I pressed Command F5
again and VO started speaking, but this still doesn't help. I'm in some sort of a window where VO will say "Mac Apple Mobile ME". If I tab VO reads that
there is a checkbox that is unchecked, but those are the only two things
that VO reads. If I tab any further the computer just makes a sound like
I've pressed an invalid key. Again, I tried all the usual keystrokes, VO
right and left arrow, shift VO down arrow to interact, and finally the enter key but nothing seems to work!! Sometimes when I press the tab key, VO will
say, "one row selected".

Thank God for my laptop! <grin>

Please help!! I'm so excited to try out my new Mac, and I can't even get
past the setup screen! <smile>
