>Greetings,
>
>I just had a few additional comments to make in relation to this 
>knowledge base article about running Window-Eyes on a USB drive.
>
>Firstly, the autoplay function will only work on Windows XP which 
>has SP2 installed.
>
>Pre SP2 installations and Windows 2K will completely ignore the 
>autorun file on the USB drive.
>
>Additionally, if you move from computer to computer frequently, you 
>may wish to download my Window-Eyes mobile helper at 
><http://www.bur.st/~mjs/wemobilehelper.zip>http://www.bur.st/~mjs/wemobilehelper.zip
>
>This is just a small app which you should unzip to the root folder 
>of your USB drive.  It will check the target system to ensure 
>Window-Eyes video support is installed, and if it's not, it will run 
>the Window-Eyes video support installer (if you are logged in as a 
>user with administrator privileges).  Audio prompts are provided to 
>assist you before window-eyes is launched.
>
>Note: the Window-Eyes mobile helper expects to find Window-Eyes 
>installed on your USB drive in \wineyes\wineyes.exe
>
>It uses an MD5 check to make sure the gwmvid.dll file is for 
>window-eyes 5.5, I am not sure if this is a reliable test or not, 
>but as GW Micro did not set a version number in their DLL file, I 
>was unable to query this value to check the right version of video 
>support was installed.
>
>If anyone wants the C++ source to this app, please let me know.
>
>I hope this is of some help to those people using Window-Eyes from a 
>USB device.

>Cheers,
