Hi, A correction. This is not done through the VoiceOver Utility. Following these steps should take care of it, however. 1. Locate System Preferences, and open it. 2. Find the "Accounts" button and VO-space. 3. Find the table that says "Accounts, groups and login options" and interact with it.

You couldn't ask for a better media senter than the mini, though I have to disagree. Windows 7 should run quite happily on the new minis, but if it's media center applications you want then Mac OS is the way to go, especially since you're bying an apple. Best, erik burggraaf A+ certified tech
