statements.
- The first statement is I am blind or have difficulty
seeing things on screen. If this is correct then place a check in the
box by clicking on it once.
- The second statement is I am deaf or have difficulty
hearing sounds from the computer. If this is correct then place a check
in the box by clicking on it once.
- The third statement is I have difficulty using
the keyboard or mouse. If this is correct then place a check in the
box by clicking on it once.
- The forth option will allow you to set up administrative
features. This is convenient if you have other users for this computer.
If you check this you will need to set up your preferred settings each
time you turn the computer on since it designates a set amount of time
in which the computer returns back to the default settings after sitting
idle (not in use).
- When you click on Next the following screens you
will see will depend upon which options you selected. Follow the instructions
below based upon the options you have selected. If you have selected

then click on Yes. Then Click on Next.

on Next.

and color cursor you would like to use. Click on the size and color
