How to get java accessbridge to work on 64bit Windows

Please note that the Jwin tool from JAMAL Mazrui supersedes this information. http://EmpowermentZone.com/JWin_setup.exe.
This article is for information purposes only, if you want to know what the steps used to be before Jamals JWin tool existed.

Make sure you have 32bit java on your computer, not 64bit java on your windows machine. Check in Control panel if you have java already installed. I had to uninstall the default 64 bit java on my 64 bit machine, then go to http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp and download latest java, which is called, Windows 7, XP Offline.
Next,Go to website http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index-jsp-136191.html and find the Download Java access bridge link. The Java Access Bridge install instructions are at http://download.oracle.com/javase/accessbridge/2.0.2/setup.htm. Create a folder called JavaAccessBridge in your C:\Mydocuments folder and extract the zipfile InstallJavaAccessBridge.zip downloaded from Sun java access bridge website into this location.

2. Run the 32-bit version of the Java runtime. I had to uninstall 64bit java that was installed by default on my machine. You can check online for the latest version, but to make it easier locate the jre-6u22-windows-i586-s.exe file you just extracted and press Enter on it to run it.Progress through the installation wizard.
This Java program will work in 64-bit Windows, as do most 32-bit applications. Note that it will be installed not into your Program Files directory, but into 64-bit Vista or Windows 7 Program Files (x86) directory.

3. Unzip the Access Bridge 2.0.1 Manual Install.zip file to C:\Program Files\Java Access Bridge

4. Copy the following 2 files to the jre6 folders
access-bridge.jar
and jaccess-examples.jar to,
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext
Copy the file accessibility.properties to,
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib

5. Copy the three DLL files
JavaAccessBridge.DLL,
JAWTAccessBridge.DLL,
WindowsAccessBridge.DLL
from the Access Bridge installerFiles directory into your new for 64-bit C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory. This is where 64-bit Vista and windows 7 need to have 32-bit DLLs.
6.Modify your PATH so that it ends with the Windows\SysWOW64 directory
To do this press Windows key to open the Start Menu-> Computer -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> PATH to add the string ;%SystemRoot%\SysWow64 to the end of the existing PATH (or at a minimum, that it appears after the entry for "%SystemRoot%\system32 in your path).

7. To test whether your Java Access Bridge install worked, go to Control Panel, navigate to Java and press Enter to open the dialog box. Tab Around and see if the buttons and dialog tabs read out.

8. To get Open Office menus to read out with java access bridge, you now have to locate the registry patch file called OpenOffice_EnableAssistiveTechnologySupport.reg. You can download this registry patch file from http://www.nvda-project.org/wiki/ApplicationSupport#IcantreadtheOpenOffi....
Find the registry patch link and activate it. Save it then Press Enter on it and press Alt+R to run the registry patch file. Press Enter on the Yes button and press Enter to finish the installation.
