It is designed for a U3 drive. I have heard there is a version of Skype for U3 but it will be a separate application, you couldn't install it onto your computer and get them mixed up.

Do you know whether the U3 software is likely to be screen reader compatible? Presumably each manufacturer has their own implementation of U3, so this might be difficult to answer. I suppose, if I found it inaccessible, I could always remove it as you indicated in your message. It sounds as if it might be useful though, particularly the ability to password-protect the contents of the drive.

Yes, U3 is a system for allowing you to install software directly on to your flash drive and then using that software on any computer you plug thedrive in to. There are a great many U3 applications available ranging from password and data vault programs, antivirus utilities and the like tofull blown business software programs such as word processing applications, email clients etc. The u3 software already preloaded on to your drive allows you to manage these applications, however if you want you can remove u3 by downloading the u3 removal tool from the support areaof u3.com. I hope this helps you and by all means ask further questions and I'll do my upmost to help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Caroline Ford" <caroline@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 8:22 PM Subject: [access-uk] U3 Flash DrivesHello, I am looking to replace an ageing flash drive with something more spacious. Today I received an e-mail from Amazon advertising a SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8GB U3 Readyboost Flash Drive for £9.99. I realise that Readyboost might be useful for increasing available memoryin Vista, but wonder whether the U3 aspect of this drive would be likely to cause problems with Jaws. I haven't had chance to look at a U3 drive before, but understand they have some extra software installed which enables you to run applications directly from the drive. If this is problematic for Jaws, is there any way of removing it so that the drive would work as a standard USB flash drive without the U3 capabilities? Thanks, Caroline. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3846 (20090211) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq -- No virus found in this incoming message.
