Hi, when I used this link to download the file, it downloaded a 54 bit version as a zip folder. Do I need to extract these files and within that folder I’ll find the TW Blue.exe file? Should I then press Enter on that?
I did delete the %appdata% and deleted TW Blue from that folder before I downloaded.
Thanks,

Hi Tom,

Go into Sound Settings in Windows, and make sure the sound card that you want to play the start up sound from, is the default sound card. If it isn't, then you won't hear it.

Hi Tom,

None of my computers have fast start up enabled, yet the start up sound works on all three of them. My suspicion is that you have more than one sound card and the start up sound is going to the wrong one.

Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.

Being Canadian the subscription was not available to me. Perhaps that's changed however, purchasing the SMA was more cost affective in the long run. It cost $160 for 2 years, as apposed to $95 per year with a subscription.

Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.

Hi Ed,
Don’t Sight And Sound use Divide By as well, so you could pay for JAWS in 12 monthly installments?

Fi Billy, The annual subscription mentioned isn’t available tu us in the UK as yet. However, every summer Sight and Sound reduce the price of JAWS and other FS products in line with sales offered by FS. I can’t remember what the price of a JAWS licence was this year, but it wasn’t over £150 I don’t think. Hanging on until July/August is likely to be your best bet, though NVDA as has already been suggested is a capable screen reader which may well meet your needs.

If there is a second sound card installed, and Windows has chosen to use the sound card as the default sound source, not only would all sounds go to that sound card, JAWS would as well, Unless Tom has JAWS specifically set to use the on-board sound card. And of course, if Tom does not have headphones or speakers connected to the sound card, he would hear, The name of the village in Dylan Thomas's poem, Under Milk Wood, which was called, llregub, that is, bugger all spelled backwards. I wish i could get Eloquence using the British English or the US English, to pronounce l l at the beginning of Llaggerub correctly, the way the Welsh pronounce ll. Dave

You said in a previous message, after you followed my instructions on how to turn on the Windows Startup sound, when you restarted the computer, the Windows Startup sound did play but, it has not played subsequently, when you have either powered on the computer or, restarted Windows! The fact that the Windows Startup sound has played once, indicates there maybe a problem with the DELL audio driver or, drivers or, has something to do with an audio setting. I do not have a DELL computer, so I cannot help you further. Hopefully, someone on the list may have some suggestions for you. Dave
