The only way I think you can get any speech in safe mode is with NVDA and a
USB soundcard.
Here is a post from a different list by a guy who has a method to get speech
in safe mode. He doesn't use Jaws though.
Hi,
for all the techies who havent heard about this yet.
audio in safe mode, download the keys from the sendspace link at the bottom
Instructions
while in safe mode I use NVDA as the screen reader, then dont need to
install the video driver.
how to use the keys
if windows can boot ok & windows is running
then just press enter on the key, activate sound in safe mode.reg
you need to say yes & this will add keys to the safe boot tree in the
registry that will enable the audio service to startup
now you can boot into safe mode using the following 2 methods
1.
press windows r to open the run box
in the run box type, msconfig & press enter
the system configuration window will open
either shift tab once to get up into the tabs & use the right arrow,
or use control tab & find the boot tab
its called the Boot tab in windows 7, boot.ini tab in xp
once on the boot tab, start tabbing through the options & you will find
boot option Safe boot, you need to check this
then tab once more & you will find radio buttons
use the arrow keys to choose either minimal or network
if you are trouble shooting a connection issue & you want network
support, then choos network
note, if you choose network, while you are connected to the internet
you have no securety running.
if you dont want network support, then choos mimimal
now just tab to the ok button & hit the space bar.
on xp you will get a window saying need to restart, on windows 7 you
will not recieve this & need to restart the system yourself.
while booting up, if you have user accounts setup, it will hang on
this screen & wait for you to choos a user & put in the password
On xp when the system boots into safe mode you will here the windows
log on sound & then you will hear a ding sound,
the ding is a window stating you are in safe mode, just press enter to say
ok.
You will not get this ding sound in windows 7.
dont forget things in safe mode are a lot slower, so wait a while for
the desktop & so on to load before you try to start NVDA
In xp when you get NVDA running you may find a system configuration
window saying, is in selective mode & so on, I normally tab to never
show this again & check it, then tab to ok
Once you are finished doing what you want to in safe mode, you need
to go back into msconfig into the boot tab & uncheck boot into safe mode.
If you dont do this, you will just keep starting up in safe mode.
2. reboot & after the bios screen hit f8, once the options come up,
choos safe mode or safe mode with networking.
how to use the keys If windows is broken & wont boot up normaly
boot into safe mode
plug in a USB stick, I have named mine zebra, so all I do is open
computer, by pressing windows e, & press z, this then lands me on my stick
then go into the stick & I press, A to land on activate sound with
safe mode.reg
then hit enter on it, then hit enter again to say yes, and the keys are set.
then you need to reboot back into safe mode for the audio service to start
up.
If the onboard audio doesnt startup, then you will need to use a USB
headset.
It works great & its a reall help when trouble shooting issues.
get the registry keys from

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

NO problem. I understand that Jaws works well with system restore in
normal operations. I just had a problem when I had to boot my computer
into safe mode because of a problem with Jaws. When Jaws is active and
working it works fine(smile).

Greg this is Volly Nelson, a jaws subscriber. I told Jerry
I am using Windows XP with Jaws 12. he stated that he had a problem with
his system restore. Using Windows Vista he said, that he is using Jaws 11
and it is not working well, with some of the functions. In the system

I did have a problem with Jaws reading system restore when my computer
needed to be booted into safe mode because of a problem with jaws
13.0.638 causing the computer to fail to boot up normally. I have a
query into FS support about whether Jaws can work when booting into safe
mode. I had to resort to someone with sight to handle restoring my
computer to a point before I updated to 13.0.638. Luckily Jaws created a
Jaws restore point in system restore when updating to the latest version.

personally, I never had a problem using it. But with me and something
don't read. i rout jaws to pc and read or right click on what I need.
That makes it about as accessible as you can get. Jaws only has power
if used.

Good Morning All.
I have a question regarding the System Restore feature. I am currently
using JAWS 11 with Windows Vista (32 bit). I know for a fact (or at
least in my experience) that JAWS does not work well with the system
restore function because it does not read some of the operations. In
the more current version of JAWS, has this issue been resolved? This
is coming from a person with no useable vision. Many Thanks.
