You are not going to find a lot of support for XP. You can probably find Windows 7. Now I can't help much with the magnification, but for Windows 7 and 8 you can have a few choices. You can pay for JAWS. You can download a free copy of WindowEyes, or you can go with NVDA, which is also free.

I don't think anything will work well with  xp anymore since it's not really supported  any longer either.  I just received office 2013 and it won't work well with older speech software or  magnification. programs.  Otherwise it works  pretty well with windows 7.  I will ask around, I think I have a friend who still uses xp.  I agree, if you can find a  low cost version of windows 7, do it.  Make sure your  computer has the space available to use it though.  It might be time to replace the computer.  I am facing that problem myself and  don't know where or how to  get a new one.  I do understand the Texas school for the blind has them  refurbished and loaded with all the needed  up to date software for  $100 and  quite good.  If you decide you need something newer, that might be a good option.  I think they have both laptops and  desktops.  Don't quote me on that.

Hope I have been helpful, Pr. Klein.

Hi all!
I also have Windows XP professional and Microsoft Word 7 works best. I don't know where you can get it. You could try EBay and see if you can find it.
