Hi, At the run prompt, instead of typing command.com, type cmd.exe. JAWS will then read all the prompts for the games without you having to use the JAWS cursor. CMD.exe is the Command Prompt, which in XP is equivalent to the DOS Prompt in older OS's. You should be able to play the games in cmd.exe.

Thanks everyone! What you do is go to Run, and in the box you type command.com This brings up the prompt. This is cool, because I remember on a computer I saw with JFW and an older version of Windows, you could go to the MS-dos prompt option in accessories, but their is no such thing under Windows XP. It feels so brilliant that I can play some of these games again! I do wish their was a way of somehow restarting in dos and of somehow getting a proper dos screen reader loaded. Chris, you can read the dos windows by routing the Jaws Cursor to the PC cursor, but I tried a game today where it didn't work well, because the text seemed to be in bars, what I mean is, JFW read the lines like this: || Welcome to Gymad|| ||Written by || I can't play games like this, I really wish I knew how to turn this option off.
