Ramy, Thank you for helping me with this. What confused me was that somehow I had missed that list of controls under the playback properties, but I did as you said and now see the microphone control right where you said it would be. I assume that the recording setting for the mic is what is important since it turned out that I had the playback setting muted and it obviously still worked. Also, now that I'vefigured out the check boxes and made sure JAWS is actually reading them, it looks like my settings will stick.
Thanks for your offer to check on MSN. I do have it installed but I have never gotten around tosetting up a username or learning it. I do use Audio-Tips and 4-the-people, though, so can check in there later today. Again thanks for your help, I knew it would be fairly simple, just not to me, smile. Take care.
