Cannot read text with JAWS and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
Look in edit/preferences/security enhanced. Make sure protected mode at startup is unchecked, and might as well uncheck enhanced security just in case.

Hello. Those are directions for the built-in image utility in windows, not image for windows, which is a different product. As far as the built-in utility goes: The first part below has nothing to do

Oops. Firefox is not a chromium-based browser, thank god. It has a normal type menu structure with file, edit, etc on a menu bar, unlike chromium browsers which bury most of what you need in one giant

Window coming up alongside UAC dialogue
Why not just disable uac? It doesn't really do what it promises, and many people will just say yes to whatever they are asked anyway.

Weird, but try hitting alt to bring up the menus and then hitting it again to make them go away, that seems to let jaws start working with the content. Loook in the options for a setting about page tu

Working fine here. I'll bet it is going to depend on the video card and drivers. I'm running an ati Radeon rx 580

I trust you have rebooted? I just tried it using a portable version of brave browser, which is a lot like Chrome. It worked fine for me. I won't use creepbook on a browser that I use for other things.
