I think narrator under windows 7 is windows-u not enter. Also, if you can get to the volume mixer, usually there are separate controls and mutes for every application (or is this a windows 10 feature)? On Mon, 02 Jan 2017 23:09:31 -0500, Dave via Talk wrote: > > When I turn on the Win 7 system,

Greetings Grumpy Dave, I recently have been having a similar problem using win7 on a 32bit machine. Two things I discovered are: 1. After booting up and hearing all the start up sounds as you described, I get no voice response. 2. If I press the control-numpad-5 I get a message something like

Dave, This is very strange because the NVDA install would have sent speech to your default output. And yet you are hearing system sounds which will be through the default output. So it should be working. But you can check in the control panel if you haven't yet to make sure the default

I would check a couple of things -- do you get anny sound out of Narrator? Either run narrator from the windows-r dialog or I think windows-u will run it. If you get that going, check your WE voice parameters. If not, you do have sound card problems. Also, in the volume mixer make sure the

Hi Dave. Have you tried switching to different speech synthesizers? The only other thing I can think of is the volume of your synthesizer is low. Window-Eyes controls the speech volume independent of the sound card, at least that's my experience. If none of this works, I'd get hold of tech

I tried that, and that's the command to select text. I also tried F7, and nothing happens. I remember looking at all the menus, and finding where the spell check option was. All I know now is that it works. Kim Lingo -Original Message- From: Robert Ringwald via Talk Sent: Monday,

Hello Robert, I had the same trouble as you and Chris Grabowski asked me to make sure I maximize the window which seems to have solved the problem. I was rather surprised as I thought I had already maximised the window. Can anyone please tell me how I can enable my spell check in WLM? When I
