    If you select and highlight a sentence, how do you let Vista speak it out loud? I have looked at Accessibility, but still no luck.

        Could you be more specific? I turned the Narrator on already, it just reads what's on the screen. When I select a sentence, it still doesn't speak that sentence. What button do I need to press? On Mac, it's very easy, you just select what you want it to speak.

              If you have tried everything and still does not work. See if you have speakers and a sound card on your machine or that the volume is not muted. Also Vista has problems with some sound cards. Make sure that the sound card is working correctly.

                It's speaking what's on the screen, and every menu I have selected, instead of what I want it to speak (the sentence I highlighted)! :(
