Hi Butch, Thanks for the info regarding supervisors in your other post; maybe I’ll call the Disability Answer Desk on Monday and see if they can give me an extension. Thanks for the suggestion regarding the USB stick, although I think I’ll be still out of luck since most PCs don’t look to the USB ports for installation media unless they’ve been configured in the BIOS to do so; honestly, though, it’s worth a try. Regarding your.Image for Windows problem, it’s a thorny one because of the lack of speech, and this is what makes the talking Windows installer so great. Indeed, if you have your serial number, you could just reinstall Windows using it and then reinstall everything. I know it’s a bit of work, but it is a solution. Although I appreciate your confidence in my expertise, to be honest, I try to avoid setting up new hardware because of the problems we’re discussing. As I mentioned to you a while back, this is where the virtual machine comes in handy since it’s simply a matter of installing it once, and, as long as you back it up wherever, you’ll have it forever.
