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?
