Date: Mon, 09 May 2005 14:41:40 -0500 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! At 02:21 PM 5/9/2005, you wrote: >Chris, >I'm blind too.
