New Windows Vista Advisor May Lock Up Or Screen Dump Your Assistive Technology!

Yesterday Microsoft released their new Beta Vista Advisor which can determine if your hardware and software are able to run in the Vista Operating System. In a few instances the Advisor either locked up the system being tested or just plain screen dumped me all together depending on the Assistive Software being used.

As I always say your mileage may vary but be aware that you may just need sighted assistance to run this program. Or, gulp, you can do it somewhat with Narrator. At the end of the program you can save a file or print out the report for later viewing. And that can be read or scanned easily.

To download the Vista Advisor go here:
