Dear jesse,
Thanks for the suggestions. You are probably right about all the things you
have said. As Hal wouldn't perform well after the installation, I asked a
sighted friend to go into the control panel and look under display. He was
unable to change the resolution of the screen. He also said the screen
looked as if it had too few colours. I think the drivers must have installed
incorrectly. I will do what you suggested and see. Thanks again, Simon

Subject: RE: Bootcamp windows xp and Hal
Simon,
The problem is, once you boot your Mac into Windows, it becomes, for all
intensive purposes, a Windows box. All Boot Camp does is to allow Windows
to
boot from the EFI, and it includes all the compatible hardware drivers for
Windows.
Having said that, your problem lies somewhere within Windows itself, and
not
with your computer. You might check in the control panel and make sure
your
screen resolution is set correctly, and also in your device manager to
make
sure your video drivers are in fact installed correctly. Other than that,
try removing Hal, and then reinstalling from scratch. You know how well
Windows handles screen readers, and other such things sometimes.
