Hi Richard, before attempting to play the game I did actually read the entire short manual. Unfortunately, it says nothing about using screenreaders with the game as far as I could tell. Mainly how to play the game and keyboard shortcuts for same. I have also read the documentation about using Hal with Curb, but Hal is at best a marginally used screenreader Trying to apply the gist of the Curb docs, I turned Jaws off and tried to run the game as well,with no luck. Has anyone else got this game to work with jaws or window eyes? Also, I went into my internet settings to make sure macromedia was turned on, and though I would have sworn that was an option under advanced, I could not find it there this time. Any ideas?
