Let's see, the set we used had mostly visual studio 2005 disks in it since you have to install that first then install the visual studio 2008 upgrade disk. For an x86 system, on disk one assuming your Cd drive is d: do the run command and run d:\setup and that'll get you started on disk one. You'll finish with disk 2 and if you want to put all of it on, run d:\setup again on disk 5 and the system will when finished ask you to insert disk 6. That'll get mssql professional on. The next disk in the set to do d:\setup with is disk 9 and that'll put msdn on for you. That'll take you up all the way through disk 11. Next put disk 12 in and run d:\setup and that'll install the 2008 upgrade for you. Next with the disk still in the drive, do a run command like d:\msdn\setup and install your 2008 msdn upgrades. When I installed all of this I put all of the database components on the system and used the system's internal account. Once all of that's done do programs-> visual studio 2008 and then run visual studio in that folder. What I did next I'm not sure if it was correct or not. *I chose general development settings and had the system configure itself. With good luck someone else will have those accessibility answers for us. One thing I did discover is the jaws verbosity settings were set with at least one problem. The graphics setting needs to be changed from all to labeled graphics or the jaws user will soon go nuts. Other settings in there appear good.

Do you have any install pointers before I put the peddle to the metal? Is there anything you remember about problems during installation with either Windoweyes or JAWs. Any features best left UnInstalled from an accessibility standpoint? Rick USA __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
