[BlindMath] Multivariate Calculus and Screen Readers

[Emily Schlenker]

Hi. Whenever I try to go in to the control panel in windows in order to change anything with math player, all it wants to do is reinstall it. I have tried putting math player in the search bar, but only the set up file or installation comes up as an option. What am I doing wrong? I would really like to turn on the Calc settings.
Thanks,
Emily
