Copy and paste this path in your run dialogue: C:\Windows\System32\Narrator.exe try it on your computer to insure it works. I believe this path is valid for all versions of windows from XP up to Windows 7. If not, run a Google search for the path to the Narrator.exe file on a Vista computer. did we discuss why you don't just place a copy of window eyes or jaws on a thumb drive and try to install a screen reader in that way?
