Hi! I don't know if the moniter will help or not. I got the com.apple.doc.extra thing on my macbook pro while I had Lion installed. I know it's a simple thing to get rid of, but it drove me bananas, and is 1 of the reasons I chose to go back to snow leopard for the time being. Lion always started talking automatically, eventually, but I was always stuck in that com.apple.doc.extra thing. I really, really hope that that problem gets fixed in a future lion release. Good luck, and I hope you're able to get it working. Missy

VoiceOver is supposed to start once it's run, as long as it's not turned off. This was its behavior in Snow Leopard, regardless of the presence or absence of a monitor. However, they must have changed something in Lion that keeps this from happening. Here's another thing to note. When I press Command-f5, VO starts and I hear something like "comm.apple.dock.extra". Wonder if this has anything to do with this. I will try to get an old monitor of mine to see if having the hardware present helps. I believe it will.
