Hi Sarai
  Ok, now just so I've got everything straight here, I took a look and in
my add/remove programs under xp, I've got this item that says, FTD I USB
serial drivers, is that what I should uninstall? My install CD for my
archos came with Musicmatch Jukebox which I and many other blind users know
doesn't work with JAWS. So I avoided installing that one, you bet.
But the software CD also has those drivers on it so that's what I installed.
Hopefully I can get this going soon.
Thanks!
