======================================== FIXSPKR.INF - Enables ToggleKeys Speaker Notification

=
========================================

ToggleKeys is an accessibility feature that instructs your computer to play a high sound when the CAPS LOCK, SCROLL LOCK, or NUM LOCK key is switched on and a low sound when any of those keys are switched off. On some computers the togglekeys sounds may be played very quietly or too quietly to be heard. Installing the Fixspkr.inf should resolve this issue.

To enable speaker notification when using Togglekeys

1. Select FIXSPKR.INF found in the \Tools\MTSutil\Fixspkr folder on the Windows 98 CD.

2. Right-Click FIXSPKR.INF. -or- Hold down the SHIFT key and press the function key, F10.

3. Choose INSTALL to install the FIXSPKR.INF.

4. Restart your computer.

Note: After installing fixspkr.inf, every time the computer is booted up, fixspkr.exe will be run from the RunServices key of the registry. When this happens an MS-DOS window will open, a beep will be played, and the window will close. Additional query words:
