Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws muted after I received help through Team Viewer
perhaps your speakers were muted. This is one of the reasons I use USB headphones to listen to Jaws. Also, I can listen to my music. While using Jaws. Which is an added bonus. Once I required new headphones, and my speakers became muted. I rushed to get new ones. I used Jaws to unmute my speakers, and I was good to go. - Original Message - From: "Miriam Vieni" To: Sent: Monday, April 28, 2014 4:47 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws muted after I received help through Team Viewer I received help with a task from my sighted computer person today and as the task was being completed, Jaws went silent. He couldn't help with this remotely, apparently, and when I rebooted, Jaws did not start. He actually came to my house and started Jaws in about 2 seconds. When I asked what the problem was, he said that Jaws had been muted. He didnd't seem to know what I could have done on my own to start it. In this case, would insert, space bar, and S have worked Or is there something else I could have done?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws muted after I received help through Team Viewer
It's a desktop computer and I didn't hear a thing, nothing when I rebooted. I just have a normal keyboard for a 64 bit win7 computer. I did ask him and he said it was in the system. This guy has worked for the Commission for the Blind in the past and he has an administrative position in a college office for disabled students. He just ran a conference on accessibility. But although he knew Jaws years ago, he doesn't know all that much about it now. He just assumed it was inaccessible to me.
