Hmm, in that case it may work, but I'm not sure if System Access at least works
with hardware synthesizers. I doubt however that NVDA works with hardware
synths. Are you on the NVDA list? If not, let me know and I'll give you
subscription information for you and anyone else who's interested.

Point taken Christopher. But I use an external synth, so a sound card's
support wouldn't be necessary for me.

Again Ray, you wouldn't be able to use it, even though it may "work", as
the necessary sound drivers don't load in safe mode. So unless Braille support
was to be included, I guess we can't use them in safe mode for the time being.

Hi, and just wondering aloud here, but I wonder if System Access, or NVDA
work in safe mode. After all, they don't use video intercepters do they?

Safe Mode does not load sound drivers; in fact, it only loads the
minimal amount of drivers required for Windows. In fact, you can't use any
screen readers in safe mode since even the proper video drivers aren't loaded;
Windows instead loads the native video driver, which I believe causes video
intercept issues. Sorry about that.

Hi guys,
I read many computer magazines, and, especially when fighting against
Spyware, the advice is given to start in Safe Mode. I just was wondering, is
there anyway that we as blind people can access Safe Mode, or how is there some
way we can access a PC from boot up, like I'm guessing there's no way we can do
things like press f2 and get access to the bios and stuff?
