Hi
I use Windows 2000 in high contrast mode, wigth black backround and white
letters. Standard windows colors hurt my eyes and is not an option for me.
I have JAWS 4.02, should I use and older version or should I install this
version. I am currently setting a new computerup. I am using connect
outloud to read this email.
