[ossrp-control] Re: screen reading information

I have not tried with Windows 2000 or XP, but I recall that Window-Eyes
could be activated with a desktop shortcut hot key in safe mode under
Windows 9X, whereas JAWS could not.

Naama,

    This isn't really my field, but I suspect it would be difficult to 
achieve this. Safe mode works by prohibiting drivers from loading,
whether 
sound drivers, technology or application specific drivers. Without these
I 
imagine it would be tricky, even impossible to get a screen reader
loaded 
and running.

    It certainly would be nice though, the inability to access the bios,

safe mode and other precursor environments is one of the biggest
irritations 
of using a screen reader.

Tink.
