Configuring ZoomText 7.1 for DCM Compatibility (installation issue)

ZoomText 7.1 does not include built-in support for DCM - a Microsoft technology that provides improved compatibility between multiple assistive technology (AT) aids installed in the same computer. DCM is primarily designed to resolve compatibility issues between screen magnifiers and screen readers. Without DCM support, if other AT aids are installed, ZoomText and/or another AT aid may not run properly. Observed problems include corrupted portions of the screen, partial loss of screen reading output, failure of an AT program to run, and system crashes.
