Hi Jeff, I strongly suspect you'd benefit with some training by your mail below. Here's some resources, BCAB Get To Grips With JAWS & Windows 7 http://www.bcab.org.uk/training-events/gtgw-tutorials A really good book from the RNIB, http://www.rnib.org.uk/livingwithsightloss/computersphones/pc/accessibility/windows7/Pages/windows_7_explained.aspx Windows 7 is highly-accessible with Windows 7. It is different from XP in allot of ways. Once you start to get the hang of it, you'll never want to go back to XP. If you'v eany specific questions, how do I do this, or why is this being spoken etc. We're happy to help. Regards, Barry. Regards, Barry.
