I have to try this again but I don’t believe it works with file volt running.
I’ve got this running on my machine and it didn’t seem to allow vo to run automatically but I’d have to check that again to confirm it.

Open system preferences. 2. Tab or get to the table of preferences options. fastest way is to tab there. Then, press U for users and groups. Press space here. 3. Now, just to the right of the tool bar, you will notice five groups of options which you should interact with. Within this group, you want to select log in options. 4. Now, at this point, most of the chages you make here will need your administrative access password because you need to unlock the security for these items. Within this group, you will note a check box which says "use Voice OVer at log in" By default, this box will be unchecked. You cannot check it until you unlock the administrative security which allows this change. To unlock it, VO right all the way over and you'll notice an item which says, "click the lock to make changes" Do this, and you will be prompted for your Mac administrative password. Enter it, and press return. Now, you can check to use Voice OVer at log in. Once you are done here, you most likely will want to click on the lock to prevent further changes. HTH. !

I have no problem turning VO on once it boots up, but , even though I have VO running when I shut down the computer, it does not boot up automatically. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I've just purchased a second hand mac. I've not used one before Friday so am a total beginner. It is running OS10 but not the latest. When my mac starts I have to put in a password. This screen doesn't speak. Now when I start the mac it seems to load but when i type my password and press enter I get the error sound. I can get sighted assistance to get past this and get it talking to go in and uncheck the box to ask for password on startup. Is there a way to get past this point without sighted assistance? -- Adam Morris email: a...@damorris.com<mailto:a...@damorris.com> -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
