Here's a possibility. Which installation did you choose? If you chose the full install, then it would take you through all 5 disks. You can choose a compact install that is only 4 gigs, which I think would consist of that first DVD. Also, there are 2 installation panels that pop up. 1 is to install the application itself, which is a standard dialogue box. The second is to install all audio content. That panel looks rather different. Damon said he was successful in accessing that with Jaws. However, I had some problems with it and had to get sighted assistance. I think that you may have to get sighted assistance to help you through that. The install should take at least 45 minutes. Hope this helps.
