Well, it looks like it was not your fault that JAWS (and all sound) was muted in the first place. Probably the 'mute all sound' checkbox (in the volume control) was somehow inadvertently checked by the guy beforew finishing using TeamViewer.

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.

Were you hearing other sounds on your computer when JAWS was muted? Do you have a laptop, LogiTech or other wireless, or a multimedia, keyboard which
would have extra keys (including one for muting and unmuting
sound) that might have been activated? Best thing would've been to ask him
how he successfully unmuted JAWS.

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?
