[nvda] Re: safe mode and NVDA

First of all svchost.exe itself is not a virus. That particular file has to do with your network stack. Second you won't be able to get NVDA or Jaws to speak in safe mode because what safe mode is, is a mode that runs windows with minimal drivers and sound is not one of them. If your anti virus is flagging a virus then it may be helpful to look in your anti virus program's virus vault and get the name of the virus it has found. In most cases though once your computer has a virus loose on it, it is best practice to eventually go ahead and reformat. That mainly depends on the type of virus though. For future reference a program I might recommend to everyone on the list is called nLite. nLite is a program that can help you to create a self installing unattended XP or Vista disk. It does require that you have an actual XP or Vista install disk in order to create one though. Not exactly sure how accessible it is with NVDA but the accessibility is pretty good using Jaws. I do like my unattended XP disk. It does take the nightmare and fear of a crashed OS away for a blind person because all I have to do is put the disk in, restart the computer, press enter and in a bit of time I have a nice new reformatted machine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "josh" <jkenn337@xxxxxxxxx>

Subject: [nvda] safe mode and NVDA



Hi,
I have a problem. last night when I was done taking on skype in a phone conversation I had jaws running and jaws would not talk. so I tried system resotre, nothing, reparing jaws, nothing not even eloquence in the jaws installer would talk. So I now have NVDA in the startup menu and am useing NVDA to do things but I'd like my main screen reader jaws back! I found there is c:\windows\config\svchost.exe virus and I cannot delete it and it won't let me end the process. McAfee flagged it as a virus but nothing could be done about it by McAfee. Is there a way I can boot right into DOS or safe mode and run NVDA and get rid of this thing? NVDA's an excellent screen reader but I realy need jaws back. And I don't appreciate unknown people sending me viruses over skype! I also have spybot search and destroy. will that work with NVDA and maybe get rid of this svchost thing?
