text to speech ???

Hi,

Don't know how to activate The text-to-speech function. Went to
control panel, then to speech, then got a box. When I highlght some
text to be read, nothing happens. I tried right clicking the highlight
and there's no options for text to speech. It worked before. Mus have
accidently disabled it .
Help.

Start>Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>Narrator.
