There must be a way around this. Regards Adrien -----Original Message----- From: access-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael A.

Even the commercial screen-readers rely on a service running on the PC to start the reader. Supernova has the Dolphiin autostart service and Jaws has another version of the same thing.
