Rick: Thanks for this very valuable information on using Windows Narrator to install Jaws on a new Windows computer.
I always like to find ways around needing sighted assistance for these sorts of things, and I'll save this info for future reference. Thanks very much again!

Next, press Alt + the letter N, to start Narrator. Be patient, Narrator may take a few seconds to start talking. >From this point, you should be able to navigate the pre-setup screens using the tab key and arrow keys. Once you have completed this process, Windows should load the desktop, at which time you can install Jaws.

I chose one that uses Windows 7 because I have MS Office 2007 and Outlook 2007 and they serve my needs. I am charging the computer now. When I turn it on for the first time it will have no speech capability so I don't know if it will show instructions or updates on the screen. I will load my JAWS 15 SMA CD and run it. Are there any traps or problems anybody has experienced in starting their laptop for the first time? Would it be a good idea to have sighted help for that initial start? Any wisdom will be appreciated.
