hi scott, well i thought that i was understanding those instructions right but somehow i am still not getting speech to come up. i put the cd in and it spins for several minutes. i hear music and after a while it stops then i type f5 the cd starts spinning after it stops i type 3 and then inter and nothing happens wonder where i might be going wrong here. as i say at the start it spins for several minutes maybe i am not typing f5 soon enough or something?? thanks in advance randy On Thu, 23 Nov 2006, Scott Ford wrote: > Chris, > When the cd stops its initial spin, press f5, then pres 3, then > press enter.
