Not sitting at the mac right now, but I had a hell of a time with
this myself. The issue is that there is an unlabeled (actually
completely silent) control which switches you between pages in the
dialog. The page which appears when you first enter it has two tabs
(password, and login items). What you need to do is to tab around
until you land on a control that doesn't speak. Y
You then need to hit downArrow once then examine the dialog again.
You should now find the setting for starting voiceOver at login.
Note that you can't find this control with voKeys+rightArrow. It
does not have a label and it has no type either, so VoiceOver just
doesn't see it. The only way you can get to it is via the tab key
(it is in the tab order of the application).
Maybe someone else with a mac in front of them can give better
directions, but its not obvious how to do this in my opinion. I
spent over an hour trying to figure this out before I found that
unlabeled control.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [macvoiceover] Having VoiceOver start at log-in
Hi all, I have tried to follow Apple's instructions to have
VoiceOver start at log-in with no luck. The following is taken from
a file I just received from Apple.
1 Click the System Preferences icon in the Dock or choose Apple menu
> System
Preferences to open System Preferences.
2 Click Accounts.
3 Click Login Options below the accounts list.
If the Login Options button is dimmed, click the lock icon at the
bottom of the
Accounts window and type an administrator’s name and password to
unlock the
window.
4 Select the checkbox labeled “Use VoiceOver at login window.”
OK, I have entered my password and have looked at the two tabs that
are there I have tried to add a log-in item, but I don't see
VoiceOver listed there at all. What am I missing?
Thanks much.
Neal
