Bob,
I figured it was a mouse thing. If you haven't already, about the
best I can offer is set verbosity to low. I'm not sure what you mean
by welcome dialogue but if it is the one that tells you you can learn
about voiceover and to press v if you just want to run vo without the
practice, you can turn that off in the vo utility in the general
category but you have seen this in your wanderings.

Hi again,
I need to clarify my message. I'm fortunate enough to be able to see
well enough to navigate the screen by moving the cursor with a multi
button mouse. The buttons are set to zoom in and out, turn VO on and
off, read selected text in addition to their usual tasks. The problem
occurs when I use the mouse to move across the desktop.
'm partially sighted. I use voiceover for most of my reading and
use "Speak selected text" to read large blocks of type and
documents. I am able to navigate most of the mac by sight. Snow
Leopard is speaking more text than I like. For example, after
booting, voiceover reads the welcome and the name of the first item
on the desktop. Then moving the cursor across a desktop item causes
Voiceover to read the name of the hard drive and all desktop items
in alphabetical order. My Leopard clone does not do this and is
easier for me to use. Does anyone know how to silence the extra
talking. I have played long and hard with the preferences without
finding a solution.
Thank you,
Bob Thompson
