Hi Donna; I found that you can scroll through your playlists by using VO/arrow keys. My husband who is sighted said that when I was using just the arrow keys as I used to do, the VO cursor wasn't keeping focus at all. As far as VO being sluggish, it takes forever and a day to unload and reloa

Hey Ricardo, Well, I'm glad to hear that this isn't normal. I may see if I can do a clean install, and hopefully some of this will go a way. Do you happen to know how one can do a second install? I didn't make a DVD, so the executable install app is now gone. Thanks, Donna On Jul 21, 2011,
