Hi,

Maybe the newer version of the game has the right visual basic library
files.  Also, is the game compatible with windows xp?  Since it was
written in 2000, maybe that is the problem if you are using xp.

We have had a computer game for the blind on our computer for some time,
called WordPlay.  It works with JFW or Window-Eyes.  We purchased a
download of it from Robert Betz.  It suddenly developed a fault and does
not work any more.  When we purchased the game, we had to download a
Visual Basic program from the site to make it work, and we are wondering
whether this is where the fault is.  Is anyone familiar with this
product, which is part of an
8-pack of computer games for the blind?   It was developed in 2000.  If
so,
can you tell us which version of Visual Basic is used.  I have
downloaded Versions 3, 4 and 6 from the internet without any result.  Mr
Betz is trying to sell his rights and code to these games, so I don't
think a direct approach would work.  There is a newer version of this
game, called Accessible WordPlay SV, which has the Eloquence speech
engine built in and doesn't need JFW or Window-Eyes.
