Hello everyone. Encouraged by the positive comments I have been reading regarding Windows 8, I am convinced that I should take the plunge.
Help appreciated please? I have two machines running Windows 7 Professional. The machine to get Windows 8 is a Toshiba Laptop, with relatively little data on it so if it crashes - inconvenient rather than disastrous. I understand that I will need sighted assistance to get the Windows 8 activation codes, and the plan is to probably run a clean install rather than upgrade. I can get the store's sales staff to provide me with all the serial numbers etc., but can Windows 8 install be made to talk if it identifies that Window-eyes is running. Once the system reboot occurs, how will I get Narrator to run? I did ask several weeks ago if there were any issues relating to braille display drivers, and the responses were inconclusive. I have a Hims Braille Edge and the Focus Blue from Freedom Scientific. I might also load the U2 as a Braille display. I expect that the Windows 8 version of Window-eyes 8 beta will install off a cd created from the file off the web in the tried and true way of all previous Window-Eyes installs as supplied by Gw Micro. Appreciate the advice of all of those who have already done this. Thanks. Vaughan. ------------------------------- This email and any attachments may contain information that is confidential and subject to legal privilege.
