I have installed ZT 8.11 and Jaws 5.0 on the same machine. Take note: Start
ZoomText first, turn off ZoomText speech, then start JAWS. Or it will
crash. They work good together otherwise. Turn them off in the reverse
order.
Also, you may investigate Magic as a more compatible alternative. I have no
first-hand experience with Magic.

Running both screen readers at the same time isn't advisable. At the very
least, it's quite confusing. Doesn't matter where you put the programs. I
have JAWS and Window-Eyes on the same drive with no ill effects
whatsoever. I know nothing about screen-enlargment programs, I'm afraid.
