repost of accessibility in controol pannal

Hi. I don't see the accessibility option in the classic view in my control
panel. When I go to the category view and click on the accessibility link
and click on the link to adjust the keyboard settings, I get a message that
the system can't find appwiz.exe. I think that is the name of the program. I
can fine and search for it. However, when I open the file, it brings up the
wizard not the multipaged dialogue box that showed up before. I have no idea
when this started happening. I hope this can be fixed. I should add that I
am blind and can't used the mouse. I can use the keyboard for the mouse
though. Thanks.

Are all of the "Accessibility" options installed? In the Control
Panel, under the Windows Setup tab in Add/Remove Programs.

You still haven't said what operating system you are running.
Also, your statement means nothing to me. You must try to
provide more details about your system, your problem, and
any symptoms and verbatim error messages.

I think they are all installed. I am very frustrated and I really hope to
get this worked out.

As Mike mentioned; the first thing that must be known is your
version of Windows ('98, ME, XP, etc.)
Secondly; am I correct in assuming that you *used* to have this
function, and that you have accessed it before?
If so, how long ago, and what (if anything) happened around the time
that this happened? Did you install updates or new programs, make any
system changes or have any kind of virus infection, or related problem?
There may be something that seems unrelated that could provide a
clue.

Sorry. I have windows xp. I don't know when this started happening. I do a
weekly scan of my computer using Norton antivirus 2002. I don't know if this
is related, but I can't find the "windows xp modified" theme. All I have is
custom.theme. Could this have anything to do with it. I can still access
explorer with CTRL+E. I don't know when I lost that file. I also check the
windows update sight regularly; that's all I install. I tried a system
restore, but no luck. I can access everything else fine in the control
panel. I hope this helps.
