I don't know if this helps, but try turning off fast user switching in user accounts. To do this: 1. Open Control Panel. 2. Press enter on User Accounts. What looks like a web page will appear that will allow you to control user accounts stored on your computer. 3. Press enter on the link titled, "change the way users log on or off" 4. Uncheck "use fast user switching", which I think is the second check box on the page. 5. Activate the apply button. I believe that screen readers seems to have issues with the fast user switching feature, hence this is why I recommend you turn it off. Hope this helps.
