For getting instant speech on an unfamiliar machine, I'm a great fan of NVDA. I have the portable version on a thumb drive with a suitable autorun.inf file. Just insert thumb drive, wait for several seconds and press enter. There's no need to install drivers or video support and you have enough facilities for setting up to install Window-Eyes or whatever. It even works if you don't have admin rights.

We should keep in mind that there will be no speech until the installation process begins. Is it possible to start Narator by pressing Windows+U on these machines? ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Gunn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 2:56 PM Subject: RE: hmmm, how to get WE onto a netbook Hello: I'd create a folder on the thumb drive, then copy the folders and files from the Window-Eyes CD. Next go to start run, and type drive letter meaning for your thumb drive, folder name\setup. Example f:\wineyes\setup and I believe this should start with Doug talking.

It has no CD drive, as you probably know. If I use WE 7.01 on the machine, do I need to download an earlier version onto a pen drive and then get the upgrade? I read the kb articles regarding video support and WE Mobile but I don't think that's what I want here. Netbook has Windows XP home already loaded and internet explorer. Can someone walk me through this? Thanks. Jo Taliaferro, empowering people to live with their choices If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
