The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Yeah...I was restarting my computer...and on the "Windows is shutting down..." screen, Narrator was open and saying something. I don't know what it was saying though. But that robot voice is enough to creep me out. So...any idea what might cause this? Any viruses use narrator to creep you out? o__O I dunno.

    Well, it didn't do it before, so is there a way to turn it off or something?

    It did it on the shutdown screen, so I guess I'll restart again.

    EDIT: Yeah, it's gone. But that was still weird. o_O I hate that voice. <.<
