How ever there is no way under xp that these drivers can load at startup so they can not block any thing. =20 Also they can not block anything if you are booting from a linux boot disk.

Subject: speakup and the dectalk express Hi Friends. Please forgive me if my question maybe so obvious or may sound so stupid. I have installed and updated the firmware for dectalk express. Should I then remove the dectalk drivers of my windows system? The question arises because I feel maybe that the dectalk driver itself might be blocking the comm port on which dectalk is connected, and thus speakup may have problems talking to dectalk through that port. Cheers!s
