Well I have XP and Jaws can co-exist with Window Eyes on a system, but
couldn't with Cobra. I've never seen anything trash everything so
spectacularly! Dolphin do a good job with the speech side of it, but at
least their products can be removed! Is it any wonder I think my Windows
days may be coming to an end!

Sure, well I had JAWS alongside Cobra when I tried it, and JAWS still
worked. This was on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I suppose it's all
down to 2000/XP and video intercept, in that software must be done in a
certain order so as to not mess up the video chain.
