I believe a cd comes in the JAWS walet containing getting started information. That might be the easiest way to listen to the material we have been discussing. I believe that, depending on whether you already had an earlier version of JAWS, you should have received a container with two or three cds. You may or may not have received an authorization cd, and my recollection is that you should receive a getting started cd and a program installation cd. I believe the getting started cd will play in any cd player or in any computer capable of playing standard cds intended for cd players.

First, are you using JAWS?  Do you have a cd for JAWS 9?
If you installed the training material, you can find the isection using the demo JAWS Daisey reader already on your machine. If you don't have the help installed or would rather listen using a different player, you can download 
an mp3 training file from the Freedom Scientific site.

Go to
http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/training/training-downloads.asp#jawsmp3
and look for a link that says
Introduction to Windows Vista (MP3 49.5MB).
Make sure it does not say daisy in the link.
Download the file, extract the files and start with the first one.  As I
recall, the download will be a zip folder.  I
believe it begins or almost immediately demonstrates installing JAWS.
Working with UAC is demonstrated during the discussion.
Or if you know how to use JAWS help, try using the index to look up uac or the search part of JAWS help. I haven't looked at the help so I don't know 
what you might find.

Is that all the dialog says?  How did you read it?  Did you use the
screen-reader command to read the dialog or are you relying on your
screen-reader just automatically reading a sentence when the dialog
opens.
Vista has a feature named UAC, User Account Control that asks you every
time
you take a potentially harmful action that makes changes to Windows in
some
way whether you want to do this and I believe the UAC message always says 
something about administrative priveleges to make a change.  If you
haven't
done so, read the full dialog and see if buttons are present to allow you 
to
continue, cancel, etc. If you don't know about UAC or understand what it 
does, you need to learn about it because it is an integral part of
security
in Vista.

If you already know about UAC and have seen that dialog before and this
one
is different, let the list know.  If you need information about UAC,
those
on the list who use Vista may be able to provide better information than 
I
can.  If not enough people on the list use UAC to give you good
information,
it can be gotten from the JAWS training material and is just as relevant 
and
applicable whether you use JAWS or not.  this is a Windows feature with
Windows commands, not screen-reader commands, for working with it.
Everything in the JAWS training material describing how to work with UAC 
applies just as much regardless of what screen-reader you use.
