I second Jonhathan's remarks here. Apple provides a 1 year warantee for all their computers at a minimum and if you can dig up a spare $99 before this June, you can extend your coverage for an additional two years; that's the Apple Care program. Anyway, without the Apple Care, you can still get that box down to an Apple store before June and it shouldn't cost you a dime. You should not be experiencing random behavior with your machine; at least not having to log in sometimes and other times not. Maybe one way to get something consistent could be to go into your system preferences and go bback to requiring a login and while in there, set login options to use VoiceOver. You can find all this under System Preferences -> User options. I don't have my machine in front of me right now so cannot give you more exact information. At least then perhaps you could have speech the whole time and just login each time; VO should come up each time the login completes. See, VO runs during the login screen, then it turns off depending on who logs in and then if you previously had VO running in that user session, then VO will come back on.
Hope this isn't too confusing.
