Hello, Those podcasts are good if you are running a 32 bit machine. The talking installer will not work on a 64 bit one. I went that route before having to think out of the box solutions. On CoolBlindTeh, there's another podcast with Cory using a product called Winstaller (I think that's the name). I didn't check to confirm before posting. There's a cost involved and you need to create the talking portion on a Windows machine. After listening to the podcast, I thought it was a bit over my head and I had once installed Windows through BootCamp with sighted assistance. Hence, I was well acquainted with the process. Like I said in an earlier post, I did read the article posted on Applevis on how to install Windows without sighted assistance, but really used it as a guideline along with the apps mentioned on my phone.
