i am visually impaired and need to use orca to use ubuntu. i have got a cd and want to use a trile version first.

when i go to run and type orca, it starts speeking and asks for me to pick a language. however i cant use the arrows to pick one. it just reads all the languages in a continious streme and then stops talking.

if i try and run it again it does exactly the same.

can someone please help me and be clear as i am a vary new ubuntu user and hardly know anything about it as i cant even try it.
