accessible windows pre-execution environment
Hello, I'm trying to clean off a laptop that has been infected with a trojan. It's an xp machine, and the trojan has replaced the lsass.exe program along with another .dll file in the windows\system32 directory. I was wondering if anyone had either an accessible copy of WinPE or BartPE environment or a way i could make it work with speech? Or, any other alternatives, a reinstall is not an option for this situation. Thanks. Dave.
Hi, I don't believe there exists such a thing as an accessible PE environment, as I don't believe any sound is an option in such an environment. The only thing I would try is to get an accessible Speakup disk from somewhere and boot off that, but you would be issuing commands in Linux. Someone a while back gave me a Windows 98 disk with NTFS support on the disk (this was sort of not fully legit), but I did think if this could work, and we could either get a dos screen reader or JFW installed in that environment with software speech, it would be very nice. However, it didn't come with any sound drivers enabled out of the box, so it would have to be customised for the PC you were using it with.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Where would I obtain this speakup disk? Issuing linux commands is not a problem for me, as long as it has ntfs write support so I can write and replace files. Thanks.

Hi, Thinking a bit more you may be better with a live Ubuntu CD and using Orca - this will give you software speech.
