When I upgraded to 10.5.6 my Mac Pro started speaking to me, but only at the login screen. There appears to be no on/off setting in the control panel. The Mac speaks each letter as I type it for the user field, and something indecipherable for the password field. Any ideas how to turn this off?
Got a tip for us?

That is odd. And you're sure that voiceover isn't turned on in universal access? In any of the accounts you use. I imagine it's some variation on this.
Is your normal account the Admin/only account on the machine? Is it possible some other account has Universal access turned on and since the login screen has to be accessible for all that it will speak if only one of the accounts has it on?
NO DISASSEMBLY!!!!!
Most jokes on these forums make me smirk, this however, was comic genius. The best way to take comic advantage of the situation.

Fantastic! This film is a classic.
Take it to the Apple store, I'm sure they would love to hear it.
Your MAC is speaking to you because you have the "speak at login" turned on.
The way to turn it off is:
System Preferences - System - Accounts
If your Login section is locked (bottom left) unlock it with your password
Click the Login Options (not Login Items)
Untick "Use voiceover at login window"
Click the lock again (if you want to lock it)
DONE
