I'm using an intel machine here, and sometimes i find after my mac has been up for a ong time, like over a week or so, that Voiceover will do this. Not sure why. Just upgraded the ram in this iMac, so we'll see if that makes a difference. On Mar 13, 2009, at 12:03 AM, Greg Williams wrote:
I have had a similar issue; I'm not sure exactly when it started. Occasionally after my macbook wakes up voiceover will not respond and command f5 will not work either. I think I have even had someone go into system preferences and start it from there but with no success. In a couple of instances I was able to use the "force quit" dialog to cause finder to relaunch, and this seems to fix the problem although I have no explanation for why. Jude, are you using an intel or ppc machine? I am using a ppc and wondered if perhaps it might be related to leopard on ppc machines.
