Installing Accessibility Options Component

Microsoft® Windows® 98 comes with several accessibility features you can adjust to more closely meet your needs. While most are available by default, two components, the Accessibility Wizard and the Magnifier, will need to be installed.

How to Install Accessibility Options
Note:  If you installed Windows 98 with a compact disc, you will be prompted to insert it into your computer. Following the installation, you will be asked to restart your computer. You should shut down any programs you have open (except Windows 98) before beginning this procedure.
