Mike, Yes, you are right. You can read the dates/time with regular cursor but the name that follows is not read unless you use the JAWS cursor. I read through some of the FAQ's on using this. If I understand correctly, say I install the most recent version of ITunes, which many are saying is not working well with JAWS. Now say I don't like it and select a restore point prior to installing it. Will the version I was currently using of iTunes be back when I restore?

It's been quite awhile since I've had to find the actual name & if my memory hasn't totally failed that's what I had to do. Take care.

I did get mine all configured and created a test point. However it asked me to name it but once created it only showed the date in the list. Where do you find the name?
