Paul,
I just did exactly that with a Dell Dimension 3000. It's tricky, but can
be done.
When I first booted my machine I was not on the desk top, but in something
called 'out of the box'. Narrator did fairly well reading to me what had
to be filled in--things like the computer name (being not very creative,
mine is called 'Mom'). I don't remember what else, but it took me a
while--half an hour?-to do it. Remembering, of course, that I was flying
pretty blind here. There was nothing requiring reading, or information
from a sticker or label. Somehow the capslock key got turned on, so when I
typed in my name it came out small letter first, but I can live with
that. I may have done something wrong, though, because I still can't get
this baby on our home network, even though it does Internet just fine. But
the answer to your question is that you absolutely should be able to do
it--not easily, but adequately. This is an awesome computer. I hope you
enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine.

Hi listers.
I am scheduled to receive my BRAND new XP Dell Dimension 3000 tomorrow. I
will NOT be having any sighted help at all to get it up and running so I am
wondering, has anybody on this list got a brand new XP machine up and
running right out of the box WITHOUT any sighted help at all?
Also, how useful is Windows Narrator? Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Paul
