Hi Peter,
Can you be more specific? Everything is visible to Window-Eyes, so saying
screen readers is not correct. I haven't tried the install with JAWS, so if
you tell me what bits you can't read, I'll try to remember them, but no
promises, as I am not messing with my installation <Smile>.
All the best
Steve

Steve, I tried to install the trial version of diskeeper, but whengoing
through the install process, I was asked to enterinformation that is not
visible to screenreaders. Any ideas please?
