Hi Peter,
I've just tried this with Vista, and in fact the command is
simply sndvol.
This brings up the "Volume Mixer". What then appeared were
three sliders, one for each application I was running at the
time.
I then found that the up and down arrow keys can move all
sliders at the same time, provided they are all at the same
level. However if you tab you can control them
individually.
There is however a rub. Tabbing goes from slider to mute
button and then the next slider and mute button. Pressing
space at the wrong time will mute.
So basically I would suggest tab, then hold up arrow down
for a count of five, tab again and do the same, and repeat
this for good measure say 4 or five times.
Sorry I can't be more precise, but having just move this
Vista system down to the office, I've not yet been able to
install JAWS and a speakers.
George.

Hi Andy,
Can I just offer one more suggestion? I'm going on the basis
that the
computer is indeed booting into desktop but, as suggested by
someone on the
list, the volume has been muted. If you can see this as a
possibility,
here's a fix. You have to do the following step by step
exactly.
Turn the computer on and let it do its thing for a good few
minutes or until
we assume that it has booted into the desktop.
Now, do the following exactly.
Hit the windows key and touch the letter R. This will bring
up the run
dialog box.
Your focus will be in that box, so now.
type sndvol32 into the run command edit box and hit enter.
This will bring up the speaker volume control.
If we assume that the volume speaker control is now on the
screen.
Now. Tab 2 times and then touch the spacebar.
If that checkbox has been checked, you should now have
sound.

Thanks Peter, I followed what you said, but unfortunately it
didn't work,
but I'll bear it in mind another time, for I can see how
it's one
possibility -

| Hi Andy,
| My first guess is that you are stuck halfway through the
login on an
option
| that might be start windows in safe mode.
| If this is the case, What I'd do is give the computer a
good couple of
| minutes from turn on, then hit the enter key and sit and
wait. If your
| computer was sitting on the option to reboot in safe mode,
it should
| continue in that mode right into the desktop. You likely
won't have sound
at
| this point, But wait a moment or three and you can then
try a restart.

| Hi all
|
| I'm using JFW in 40 min mode on my laptop, and things have
been ok until
| this morning.
|
| I now can't get the laptop to reboot, when I power on, I
get no sound, not
| even the Vista tinkle tune, and of course, no JFW to tell
me if I'm on the
| log on screen
|
| I've tried removing the battery, and I've checked if I've
muted sound by
| inadvertently touching the touch pads above the function
keys, but I don't
| seem to have done this, I'm pretty sure I'm not getting to
the log on
| screen!
|
| I can't get Narrator to run, and usually if I put a cd in
the drive, it
| would come up playing in WMP, but now the drive just spins
up to speed,
and
| then stops again.
|
| Any ideas please? Oh yes, it is plugged in too <smile> -
|
| Andy
