I agree, Colin, and this is why I appreciated this thread so 
much.

I knew narrator was out there, but fortunately, never had the 
need to use
it.

Now, I'm prepared if the need arises.

narator should begin to speak in the ease of access center...it 
is supposed
to by default anyway...but hey, hit tab twice and you've got it 
everytime
anyway.
Narator has gotten me out of lots of jams when jaws stops 
speaking, or when
setting up a new computer that doesn't have jaws...installing jfw 
from a
thumb drive or the internet is great, but if you don't have 
speech to get it
started it's pretty difficult.

 Hi, all.



 Well, I learned something new a few minutes ago.



 If I press the windows key plus the letter U, I am put into an 
"ease
 of access" set of options under Windows 7.  If I then tab two 
times, I
 come to a Windows Narrator button, and if I hit enter on it, 
Windows
 Narrator starts speaking.



 If Jaws is disabled, I can tab twice and then hit enter, and 
Windows
 Narrator is activated that way.



 So, you really can teach this old dog a new trick or two.  
(grin)
