Hi to all.

Candy, you did not indicate which screenreader you were using or which 
version of Windows you are using.  I will do my best to answer your question 
with the understanding that I am using JAWS with Windows XP.

With that out of the way, I can tell you that I agree with your 
sentiments--with JAWS it can be more difficult to read the System Restore 
screen.  What I do is tab down until I am sitting on the "Previous Day" 
button.  I then use my up and down arrows (usually the former to tell me if 
there any restore points created for today's date.  If not, I press the 
"Previous Day" button.  This button actually takes me back to the last 
restoration point on the computer.  Using the up and down arrows, I can then 
find the time(s) that are available on that day.  It should be noted that 
these times, though clickable, cannot be reached via the tab key so you will 
have to rely on your arrow keys.  Click where it says "Clickable" and you 
have chosen that restore point.  Then press alt+n and you will get the 
warning screen that tells you to shut down all of your programs before 
proceeding.  After pressing the "OK" button here, close all programs 
(including your screenreading software) before pressing "alt+n" again to 
start the actual restoration.

I hope this helps.  To all, take care.

Ted Chittenden
