Hi Charles and all, The games that come with Windows are accessible with Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. If you upgrade to Windows 7 I know that Solitaire, Hearts, and so forth work with Window-Eyes, and I imagine could be made to work with Jaws as well. However, the basic point is Microsoft has made them accessible now, and it is up to the screen readers to support the accessibility features of them. Its just the older versions that ship with XP that don't work with screen readers as far as I know.
