I am not interested in a windows XP versus Windows Vista debate. such would be rather pointless, as well as being off-topic. So I will simply make a few points on this subject concerning Windows Vista, and the use of a screen reader. Windows Vista has a new technology called mirror drivers. One of the drivers that can be Meerut is the video driver. This means that you resolve a number of the issues you used to see with badly designed video drivers. Also you can update your video driver without having to worry that your screen reader might not work after you complete the process.
Windows Vista has a new soundcard implementation that will allow you to adjust the volume of every program independently. Also every recording source is treated as its own device. I could go on and give you a number of other reasons why I find Vista superior to Windows XP. However, they do not pertain directly to Window-Eyes so they are off-topic. I hope this information is helpful. As for the UAC problem. it was introduced in the 7.0 betas of Window-Eyes, because I used Window-Eyes 6.1 foolishly with UAC turned off without any problems whatsoever. Also, I have used Windows 7, and I can assure you, at least in my opinion that it is. As usual, a vast improvement. Thank you for reading. From: C.

That is beyond me. Everyone in my town is very unhappy with Vista. They are all computer whizzes and they are all sighted too. Good Luck to you all who are trying to use Vista, you all have my best. Maybe the next version of Microsoft's operating system with the stupid touch screen will be better? I doubt it for sure. Good Luck, Craig B.

But it does have everything to do with Vista and UAC turned off. Just can't figure out why a small percentage of these types of users have issues... We just haven't seen a machine first hand with this problem. Doug C. Richcreek Enterprises wrote: Hi Doug, I guess that I am one of the lucky ones. I have no problems with Wineyes 7.01 at start up but It may be because I am not using the scripts on a normal bases. Best, Craig B.

Obviously a minority of people have this issue but we just aren't seeing it and without someone sending us a computer that can duplicate this reliably there isn't much we can do.

I also don't have a password on my account, do you have a password on your account? if not, then I'd really suggest GW try again without passwords, as I think that was an excellent observation. I'm also setup as an admin, and that could be the key issue; is anyone having the problem who is not setup as an admin?

I'm using Vista Home Premium. I'm in Australia so it definitely isn't practical for me to get my PC to GW Micro but I really hope someone in the USA is able to let GW Micro staff borrow a PC where this is happening so they can hopefully find out what is causing this problem.
