Tammy, Highlight Jaws and press alt F and go to the jaws option menu, under basic and check that it is set to jaws to come on on startup,
You will need visual help, since jaws is not talking, Check your mute key and also try insert spacebar S... If, nothing works try a restart...

I am running Jaws 17 on a Windows 8.1 laptop. I can not get Jaws to speak. When I turn my computer on, I am getting sounds except from Jaws. I have tried loading Jaws from the desktop icon & the run command. I did get a strange sound when I tried entering on the icon. I even tried loading Jaws 14, with no results. I have gone into the run command, typed sndvol and experimented with the volume controls for jaws. Still nothing. When I shut my computer down, it will say, Jaws for Windows. Ok, I surrender! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -- Independence is yours . Are you willing to reach for it?
