Hey Brink,

I've been trying to get rid of that program for so long now and Dwarf told me about this tutorial, but Flash player simply won't work on my pc (see my thread http://www.vistax64.com/software/139...load-help.html). Is there anywhere else I can find it?

Hi Alrumpilla,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

Unchecking the box in the second part of the video, (To have Narrator run at Startup), to turn of Narrator will stop it from running at startup.
