Granted - using sighted help is always easier and Quick mix is probably a good recommendation for a remedial solution in the future. By the way Is not the volume in icon tray by default in XP? I thought it was but I will stand corrected if it is not. The key point is that she appears that she has no sighted help at the moment and the subject line said desperate. Going to volume controls without sound through the start menus is I think even more convoluted.
I have managed to talk 2 Jaws users without sighted help back to an unmuted system over the phone using this method so I thought I would suggest this here.

Hi David, If the icon for the volume control is not in the system tray, that will not work. Trying to navigate the computer without speech is not adviseable, one incorrect keystroke, and it is possible to cause more problems. I would recommend getting some sighted help in this instance, and then putting some alternative methods into place for recovering the sound. HTH, Richard Q.

This will work in XP - not sure about Vista Press Insert F11 Press V Press Enter Press Enter again Press Tab twice Press space This will unmute sound if it has been muted. You will be able to tell if the system is muted if it does not play a windows sound as it boots up.

Hi all. Well, I think I have muted the speech in my laptop. The thing is now, I can't hear jaws, so I don't know what I did wrong. I tried to go to start menu accesaries and voluem control. And tried or at least thought I was trying to unmute the laptop. But it didn't work. Can anyone tell me how to navigate around this with no speech? *sigh Christy Rememeber, I think I muted the laptop .. not sure what I did :( Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
