Who said it would be controlling? It is a simple code.
1. You start up window eyes 2. Before full start up it checks for said name screen reader 3. If said name screen reader is not running It would skip to line 5 4. If yes, ask user to shut down said name screen reader and restart window eyes 5. Start up window eyes if said screen reader is not present, and continue with normal operations of check syssum and load files Of course the actual code would be longer then that. But, it gives a general idea of would would happen before window eyes starts up fully. As it already checks before starting up if you have the Video Intercept driver correctly installed anyways. This would just make sure one les thing is going to cause a problem. Matt.

I would be weary of my software being able to potentially control other programs. Say, for instance, that I had JFW, and it could interrupt the Window-Eyes boot sequence. Conceivably, Freedom Scientific could wreck my Window-Eyes install whenever they wanted. Given what their PR department's done lately, I wouldn't put it past them anymore. Another potential solution is to have all screen reader installs always ask you if you want them to load at startup. At least with something like a quick install, it would be harder to accidentally ignore the potential screen reader conflicts.
