I use Zoomtext as a screen reader and magnifier on a PC equpped with 
Vista.. yes, I now, it's time to upgrade to Windows 7.  I have been 
trying to determine if it is Zoomtext that causes regular.. at least 
once a week.. freezes of what's on my monitor that I can't seem to get 
out of short of just shutting off the computer without shutting down 
first.  Having to do this has resulted in one hard drive having so many 
bad sectors that I had to spend hundreds of dollars to figure out and 
fix why my computer just shut down completely one day.

Has anyone else run into this?  Most of you use JAWS I think.  I am just 
not ready to give up the small amount of visual interface I have.  My 
husband thinks the problem I have is because of Zoomtext, that the use 
of graphical resources is just too much for Vista or the computer.  I 
contacted AiSquared support who had me do this elaborate provess that 
turned off some settings on security.  Now they want me to call them 
because they think there must be something wrong somewhere else.  I'd 
rather gather information and ideas first... can anyone offer any?
