Hi, set your wall paper to none that makes the most scence as a blind = person to have no wall paper. Set the appearance to classic set the color to windows standard. Set the screen saver to none. Use 32 bit color. And = you are good to go. Note most of these settings I use not because of jfw = but just because of video performance in general.
