Hi Lenny, Yes, you can perform the initial setup with Narrator. It's certainly not going to be as fast as using Jaws, but you can get it done. 1. Boot the computer, and wait a minute or so. 2. Press the key combination, Windows + U, this will open the Ease of Access Center. 3. Now press the combination, Alt + N, to bring Narrator into focus. 4. Once you have Narrator talking, you can Alt Tab,around to find the dialogue for the initial setup. 5. Take your time, and listen closely, and input the proper info and you should be okay. Don't remember the dialogues word for word, but if you find a skip button, you can spacebar it, and complete the setup later with Jaws. Like I said, take your time, you'll get there.

Hi, I have a new windows7 64 bits computer ready to fire up. As you know, Jaws is not installed yet. My question is this. Can I being blind do the initial setup using narrator? If so, since I never use narrator, can someone give me some guidance on how to use the narrator in a windows 7 OS environment? I do have some basic ideas what to expect, but sighted help is not possible even though my wife could be of some help. She is very reluctant since she is afraid of screwing something up. I would like to be able to do the setup with narrator so I can get to the point to install Jaws. If the opinion from the list don't think that this is possible, then I will have to call someone to do the setup for me. Thanks for any advice and suggestions. I appreciate any help that I can get. Take care.
