I am trying to find software, preferably open source, that will work in 
VISTA to do the following: 1) when the mouse hovers, to read the text, 
and to also hover and read text on web pages. I've found several 
opensource screenreaders that read web text, but nothing that also 
hovers and reads the text on the desktop under icons. I have used 
WebAdapt successfully in the past but it does not work in VISTA. I am 
contemplating taking VISTA off and installing XP so that this client 
can use the computer more independently. He also is using ZoomWare for 
magnification and an Intellikeys keyboard for keyboard access.

Thanks for any suggestions you might offer.
