Well, if there is only 1 DVD drive on the computer then it's a pretty good guess your thumb drive will be E:\. I would place a music file named 123.mp3 in your thumb drive to then type in run box any of the following: e:\123.mp3 f:\123.mp3 g:\123.mp3 and so on. Once you determine the correct drive then do the same for the NVDA installer. I would also stick in the thumb drive a copy of Jaws and window eyes just in case NVDA fails. Andre

Right now I have several files on my thumb drive, so I have to take some of them off and just leave NVDA, for instance. I'll let you know what happens. One other thing: I don't know which drive my thumb drive would be, but I'll give it a try.
