Hi Jenny, Did you have the game open and were you in the open game when you followed the steps that you listed? I have never played games on the computer but, I have several programs that I have Jaws silenced when I open the program. Are you using XP or Vista? I ask the prior question because I don't know if there are differences to silencing Jaws between the 2 operating systems. Take care. Mike

When I first play the games I followed the instructions to silence JAWS. Se Below. Now when I go into the start menu Jaws won't speak. It works everywhere else though. Can anyone help? Instructions I followed: 1. Open the JFW Configuration manager: Press and hold down the insert key, and press the F2 function key. Usually, the Configuration Manager is the first option in the window that appears. Press the enter key on Configuration Manager, and it will open in a new window. 2. The Configuration Manager window has a menu bar, and we want to open the Set Options menu. Do this by pressing the alt key and the letter s. 3. If you press the up arrow key when the Set Options menu opens, you will find a menu item titled: Advanced Options... Locate the Advanced Options menu item and press the enter key to open it. 4. When the Advanced Options window opens, you will find a check box titled: Sleep Mode Enabled Press the space bar to check this box, and press the tab key. 5. You will now find a check box titled: Unload Synthasizer Press the space bar to check this box, and you are done. Now, just press the enter key to close the Advanced Options window, Press Control S to save these new settings, and close the Configuration Manager window by pressing the alt key and the F4 function key.
