Maybe I can get it right this time. I accidently mute the volume on my HP laptop running Windows 8. Is there a way to rescue myself when I do this? I'm not sure how it happens, but it is getting to be a major pain. I'm running Jaws 14 and this computer does have a touch pad on it. Thanks for the time and info! -- Independence is yours .
