Wow!
You gotta be one of the first listers to admit he's looking for problems?

>>>>> other for their
>>>>> production work. To do this, you need to edit a file called JFW.ini 
>>>>> and
>>>>> install the updated Eloquence Speech driver in the accompanying zip
>>>>> file.
>>>>>
>>>>> Editing the jfw.ini file:
>>>>>
>>>>> 1. Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, browse your hard drive to 
>>>>> the
>>>>> currently running version of JAWS and find the jfw.ini file in that
>>>>> folder.
>>>>>
>>>>> 2. Press ENTER to open.
>>>>>
>>>>> 3. You should find some lines that read:
>>>>>
>>>>> Synth1Name=eloq
>>>>>
>>>>> Synth1LongName=Eloquence for JAWS
>>>>>
>>>>> Synth1Driver=eloq
>>>>>
>>>>> The number doesn't matter, it may be 1, 2, or 3, but it must be the 
>>>>> same
>>>>> for all entries for Eloquence.
>>>>>
>>>>> 4. Add the following line after the driver line: Synth1Port=SB Live!
>>>>> Wave Device Of course, you need to make sure that the synth number
>>>>> matches the other
>>>>> lines, so that if the Driver line read:
>>>>>
>>>>> Sytn3Driver=eloq
>>>>>
>>>>> Then the port line would read:
>>>>>
>>>>> Synth3Port=SB Live! Wave Device
>>>>>
>>>>> The text after the = sign in the Port line comes from Control
>>>>> Panel/Sound & Multimedia/Audio tab It must be one of the entries that
>>>>> can be chosen for Preferred
>>>>> Playback device.
>>>>>
>>>>> 5. Save your changes and exit Notepad. With JAWS version 5.x and 
>>>>> higher,
>>>>> you are done.
>>>>>
>>>>> If you have JAWS version 4.x, you will also need to install the 
>>>>> updated
>>>>> driver. As long as JAWS is running and speaking through Eloquence,
>>>>> eloq.jls cannot
>>>>> be simply overwritten when unzipping the file. You will need to switch
>>>>> to NoSpeech or MS SAPI to get the eloq.jls to overwrite properly.
>>>>>
>>>>> 1. Download the file from
>>>>>
>>>>> ftp://ftp.freedomscientific.com/users/hj/private/eloq.zip
>>>>>
>>>>> 2. Unzip the zip file into the root of the active JAWS directory where
>>>>> you made the change to the jfw.ini file.
>>>>>
>>>>> 3. Restart JAWS and it should now be speaking from the sound card you
>>>>> wanted.
>>>>>
>>>>> 4. If not, make sure the entries are correct in the jfw.ini file and
>>>>> that your sound card is indeed installed correctly. Most audio and

>>>>> production
