installing ubuntu 7.4 with speech

[Guy Schlosser]

Hey there Christian, maybe you or someone on the list can answer a 
question for me.  Why is it that when I go into something like 
network administration from the applications menu, I lose speech?  Is 
there a way to keep my speech in these apps?  As with before, any 
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,


Guy
