That is strange as cmd-f5 is always meant to turn VO on or off, or using the Fn-cmd-f5 on macbooks not using function keys with VO. Maybe having a look in system prefs in the universal access but this is a new one to me. Might be an idea to reset the pram, to do this shut the computer off, hit the power button and get ready to press the following key combination as soon as you hear the start up chimes, command-option-p-r and hold these keys down until you hear the chime again. If this doesn't work maybe it's a reinstall job, but I'm sure other listers may have some ideas. The link to Apple's page on how to reset pram is http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 HTH
