I can't restart because I am downloading a big file which I can't pause. Does anyone know the setting/command to make my Mac OS X stop talking ? :( (Sorry people i'm new to Macs)

Psh. scottyrob Posted at 2:53 pm on June 5, 2006 Not sure exactly because im on my windows laptop at the momment, but if you go to the System panel and then sound, you can mute the sound.. Is there any application open that may be reading information back to you? i.e Word or Textedit?

If I was there I could probably figuer it out, but I'm not. Try searching the help index for "Accessability Options" or "Voice" or something like that.  It sounds like it's some kind of thing for blind people.  Not that blind people can really use computers much. wlcome2crzyworld Posted at 2:45 pm on June 5, 2006 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations All 8 previous replies displayed.
