Hi, Gena: Good to hear from you.
I'm pretty confident my problem is driver related for several reasons. One is that I ended up using sighted assistance to finish the Windows installation. It started out as the simple question: "Is anything on my screen?" Well, what was there was th continuing Windows installation, and Narrator wasn't responding. We went ahead and finished, then looked at volume settings. It's definitely not muted, and Narrator volume was at 50%. Also, running the speech test showed graphic activity on screen, i.e. Windows annimates the speech so that one can see that it's trying to talk, should you not be hearing the speech. I'm still not clear why it started talking. It talked through a couple boots, but then died quite suddenly while reading the login screen. OI went ahead an upgraded my VMware to 10.1.1, but I declined to pay until I can be assured this is actually going to work. I'm not seeing where I can access my BootCamp Windows from the 30-day trial VMware. So, I guess I'm waiting for another shot at sighted assistance. I definitely don't want to try reinstalling. That's been farr more miss than hit, and it's taken far, far too much of my time in the past month. Thanks for your good suggestions. They're certainly the things one should try, and I especially appreciate that command.
