Hi.
It's because of his hardware. Depending on the amount of ram in the
system, he can get Gnome up and running for sighted people, but the load
added by Gnopernicus and software speech would make the system too slow
to be used.
If he has 64 meg, Gnome will run slowly for sighted users, but it can be
used.
Hope this helps.
