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?
