Check the date on your computer - it could well be that the CMOS battery has died. You can obtain a new one from between £2 to £4.
If you need any more help be sure to ask.

My Dell workstation running XP Pro and JAWS 9 was working fine last evening, and I stepped away to have my dinner. When I returned to the computer, I had lost all sound including JAWS and Windows sounds. Since I wasn't working on the computer at the time, I could not understand why I would suddenly lose all sound for nlo apparent reason. I shut down and then rebooted using the power button, but still no sound. Finally, I had a sighted neighbor watch the monitor to see what was going on. He said that after I rebooted , a message appeared onscreen that said something like press F1 to continue. So he pressed F1, and the computer proceeded to start up with the Windows log on jingle and finally, the "JAWS is ready" announcement and everything was apparently restored to normal. This has happened a couple of times before. What could cause such a sudden loss of all sound? Thanks for any feedback.
