It's not just in games Tom that I find this useful.
in winamp or power dvd I can flick Hal's voice on to deal with config, or
selecting a new folder to listen to, ---- then flick it off again and just
use keyboard commands as normal, without Hal saying "X" whenever I start
Winamp playing etc.
Doing this I was able to actually customize power dvd's time skip feature to
exactly 91 seconds, which very nicely skips the voyager opening theme, ----
which I'd otherwise have to sit through many times sinse I've been doing a a
full watch through of all 7 series (I'm mid way through series six
currently).
Pluss, I now know the vastly important information that voyager's opening
sequence is exactly 92 seconds long, ---- which obviously was invaluable to
learn!
Beware the Grue!

Hi Dark,
As I said with Window Eyes 7.11 I don't have to unload the screen reader
to play game x. I just tend to do so for personal reasons. I guess the
techie side of me. Although, I am glad to know I don't need to unload
Window Eyes when playing as that does free me up to chat on an instent
messenger client or check on some task i might be running in the
background like a very large download.

funny Tom, I've never felt the need to with hal, and haven't experienced
slowdown or anything similar.
Indeed, there have been occasions when I've played a bit of a game,
flicked out of it, turned Hal's voice on to read E-mails or deal with
other matters, then gone back to the game.
This is especially true of games where I have to wait for some
reason, ---- like Che martin's card games waiting for new players, ----
or even waiting for your character to regain health in technoshock (which
seems to take ages).
I also flick Hal's voice off when watching dvds for the same reason.
I'd actually miss this feature quite a lot if it wasn't possible to use.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
