I have an idea regarding how to install Dec-Talk drivers correctly, and to cause Dec-Talkk to work.? I sent this suggestion to the wrong list for which I apologize.? I hope this is the correct list to which to send my suggestion.? My idea is this.? Install Jaws version 17 If there is a list of synthesizers from which to choose in the custom install area, and the Dec-Talk usb synthesizer is there, you know the drivers would be installed when the instalation is complete.? Dec-talk? might be run.? after the installation, try running Dec-Talk using the version of Jaws you prefer.? See whether it solves the problem.? I am no computer geneus as some other people are who are on these lists; but I think this idea just might work.??
