Ok, Mountain Lion has two implementations for Voice Over. The first is what you checked in Accessibility. This provides voice over for all active windows. If you get voice over for everything, you can toggle that Voice Over on and off by using Command-F5 as well as what you did with the menus. If toggling with the menus didn't work, maybe Cmd-F5 will. There is also a separate selection for login voice over in Mountain Lion. Let's a check the login set up and make sure Voice over isn't selected for login.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Users & Groups.
Select your your username.
Make sure "Use VoiceOver in the login window." is set to off (not selected)
