Yes, Rick and I were just talking about this problem where window eyes crashes randomly, on the scripting list.
It's just as you describe it, no more speech from window eyes, but you cannot restart it. If you have other screen readers, you can start them up to deal with the situation. Rick said he had windows error messages often; I don't usually have any clue as to why window eyes has stopped functioning. If you use jaws to go into the task manager and kill certain window eyes processes you can then restart it, but otherwise you do have to restart windows. You may be able to use narrator to do all this, but I find it's very frustrating to use, and doesn't often read many things, so it's better to get the demo copy of jaws to deal with this; then, memorize the keystrokes needed to start jaws.
