You can get this functionality for free with the portable version of NVDA as unlike Jaws it does not rely upon a video intercept driver. If you want to go this route I can post the contents of an autorun.inf file which will start NVDA automatically from CDs and simply require the pressing of enter when the autorun dialogue comes up from a USB stick. Maybe this should be done on the blind computing list though.

But I think is not as easy as what I thought.
