To whom who can help me out:


       Windows 95 unfortunalty has this closed captioned feature where it
read out the sounds that are playing for the hearing impaired however I cant
get this feature to work.  If you go under accessiblity options in control
pannels and click on the tab sound, theres this feature called
soundSentry,now I click it and hit apply but it doesn't caption.  Is there
something Im forgetting to do?or do i need to buy a special video
card?anyone who can help through this will be greatly forever in my debt =)

I don't know why you are trying to use a feature that you call
"unfortunate" but at any rate, it won't work if the program you are using
is not written to show captions. I am not sure, but I think it's a text
file that is included with the compatible software so the program has words 
to substitute for the sounds.

   Last March, I attended the deaf/hoh employee government workshop at
NIH, Besthsda, Maryland for three days. I remembered the MS representative
supposed to listen from deaf workers and supposed to develop some
features for deaf users, blind, and poor eyes users on the updated
window 95. I bet window 98 should provide the CC. The representative
went to California for the workshop session. So I wonder what happen
to this long term project with MS company with Pres. Bill Gates.

  Any comment...

Try to surf on MS web site for any updated article??
