Allow NVDA to handle multiple input desktops in Windows XP #97
Comments
Comment 2 by jteh on 2008-07-19 04:55 It seems that this service is only required under Windows 2000 and XP. In fact, from our testing and research, it is not possible to start NVDA on the secure (winlogon) desktop under Windows Vista using a service. In Vista, we need to use the Ease of Access facility to handle this. This requires an embedded manifest and the executable must also be authenticode signed. This latter requirement poses a problem for us, as we must either register a trusted root certificate or have our key signed by a commercial root authority. |

Currently, NVDA only handles a single input desktop; i.e. the input desktop on which it was started. It cannot be run on the secure winlogon desktop, which means that the Windows logon screen and other secure screens cannot be read. For Windows XP, a service should be provided which can detect when the current input desktop changes and launch NVDA accordingly.
