What kind of laptop is it? If it's a Dell, there is a feature you can use to take it back to the day you bought it. When you turn it on, do a control f11. It will ask you if you are sure you want to restore it and it will proceed from there. Of course you will need sighted help doing it, but it will take it back to just like it came from the factory. This is just for Dell laptops and desk tops made in the past year and half.

These are 'most likely' due to me installing/uninstalling/testing various pieces of software/technology etc. etc., and in the 'old' days I would normally reload any machine after around a year or so. Only real problem at the moment is that, obviously, when you start the install process, there will be no installation of any screenreader in the normal way etc., but I almost think that there are ways to work around this by configuring some special sort of installation CD etc.? Just thought I may as well ask, or else I might have to ask one of my sighted friends to come and 'look' over my shoulder while I do the installation etc. I do in fact have a KNFB Reader, but I know the last time I tried it out on the laptop screen it couldn't as such 'see' anything, but I have in fact upgraded the software various times, so maybe I'll 'test' that a bit first.
