One thing I have trouble with, is downloading the stupid helper on the
desktop. I get this dialogue box that says close button, or the no
thanks link. I can't seem to navigate within that dialogue box. i"ve
tried it with both jaws 12 and NVDA. Any suggestions? I called fs, and
they suggested I install some java stuff, and so far, that hasn't even
worked.

Hi, unfortunately each time you download the helper is generated, it
is with your own credentials. So this means that my helper won't work
for you.
If you go to the site and it shows that your helper doesn't appear to
be running, it gives you a link to download a new one. Maybe that
will work.
