There are other VMs out there that will work under XP or even Windows 98
but they aren't as stable and are far more difficult to use. You can try
Bochs http://bochs.sf.net/ or Qemu http://www.qemu.org/ With the later,
there is a free OS zoo with many prebuilt disk images, but they won't be
designed for speech. I never got my serial port working with either one
so you would be limited to live CD images with software speech. Bochs is
supposed to emulate serial but I never got it to work. Finally, you can
look for Microsoft Virtual PC 2005. It's older and will expire after a
trial period but will work on XP Home.

running XP Pro or better, try Microsoft Virtual PC. You can boot
virtual CD images that way and that might work. Your best bet would be
software speech since XP does weird things with your serial port. Just
make sure to emulate a virtual sound card. Note that I haven't actually
tried this but I got a FreeDOS boot floppy to boot this way. You could
also try VMWare, Bochs, and Qemu but I've had the best luck with
Microsoft Virtual PC. Note that VPC won't run on XP Home or Windows 9X.

Please I need something that won't boot from a CD, since I don't have
sighted help to change the boot sequence. If there is any distribution
or virtual consol that can work under windows or boot when Windows is
already on the computer?
