Hi Donna, Not sure why this is happening to you. Then again, I have strange things happen to my VoiceOver as well that I'm sure no one has experienced. Please do let me know what happens if you decide to call Apple Accessibility or bring your machine into the Genius Bar. Just out of curiosity, have you tried pressing Command-F5 at the login screen to see if VoiceOver starts or not? Let's say, that VoiceOver is running, but just isn't speaking. If you press Command-F5, that will then turn it off. Assuming nothing else is wrong, if you press Command-F5 again, it should come back on and you should hear speech. I know this is a pain in the butt.
