If the computer yo are connecting to does not have a screen reader installed you have two options: a) make do with Narrator. It is not ideal but works fairly well for simplistic tasks b) Purchase that System Access to Go from Serotek. Once connected to the remote computer type Windows R and enter www.satogo.com and that should get you some speech assuming the remote computer has internet access while Remote Access is running. I would think they use different port numbers. Frank
