Damn, not bad for an old geezer, huh?  Glad you got it going.

Kind of like that antenna I ordered for field day twenty-one years ago.  I 
ordered it the day of field day and told the guy I wanted it for field day. 
He said he'd ship it out yesterday.

Anyway, at least you got a nice program to use for next year.  By the way, 
don't know what screen reader ya use, but when I used FieldDay a few years 
ago, I had to define a frame to tell Jaws not to keep reading that damn 
clock and the status update area.

I got lazy when I went to a club site a few years later, and just set Jaws 
not to read anything and relied on the .wav file.  You can set the .wav to 
speak every field, or just the call entry field.  That worked nice and if 
you enter a call, it will let you know if it was a dupe.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Albert,

Did you add those .wav files to the program directory?

Hey Steve!
You are right, noone should wait until the last minute to do what I tried to
do, but, you know how it is! I am using no other things with the sound card
than Window-Eyes version 7.5.4. I am not connected to any radio and have
only the sound card built in to the laptop itself.
A.S.

Albert,

Not sure if you have got this running yet.  never a good idea to try new
contest software just prior to the event, or to even update existing
software.   Screwy things often happen, and I've done it myself.

While I don't use this program, I did mess around with it once.   If you
have it all set up right and still not talking, maybe it is a sound card
issue as Ed mentioned.

Windows 7 is  a bit odd on how it handles sound cards.   I know the
N3FJP software will only use the default soundcard (unless Scott has
changed the software in the past few months since Tom KB8TYJ went
through this).   If you have other sound cards in the system- even
something like the sound card in the TS-590 -  Windows 7 might choose to
make it the default and N3FJP will never talk.

Do you have any other sound devices in the system?
