In order to have Window-Eyes 7.01 load for you and not your sighted family
members, do the following:
1. From the WE control panel, choose File and press R for startup options.
2. Check the checkbox that tells Window-Eyes to speak at the logon screen.
Do not check the checkbox that says "speak after logon for all users."
3. Tab to the set of radio buttons that says "speak after logon for current
user" and choose "always." I don't recall if you have to log on to the other
accounts on your computer and tell Window-Eyes not to load for those
accounts; it's been too long. Raoul provided another way of doing this in a
message quite some time back but I don't recall his steps. Like everything
else in Windows, there is always more than one way to accomplish every task.
The bottom line is that it is very easy to accomplish what you want to do
with WE.

Subject: Got the 7.1 CD
Hi, all. I got my 7.1 CD and the removal tool seems to have fixed things.
I used the quick install, so it loads before startup and I can hear the
logon screen. I personally like that, because I've always just guessed by
the disk noises when I was on the screen, and now I know for sure. But of
course this means it also starts for the two sighted members of my family
who use the 'puter. I told them how to close it, and it won't kill them
to do so. But I'm wondering what would happen if I just unchecked the
load before startup button. Would it still start automatically for me, or
would I break something and have to reinstall. After last week's crash,
I'm a bit gun shy. <grin>
But the really annoying thing was the Wupdate script, or whatever it's
called, that makes a noise when there's a Window-Eyes update. I updated
the GW Toolkit and stuff, and of course this script had to make its little
tone to tell me there was a later version of it. It's that thing that we
talked about on the list a few weeks back, where it said there was an
update and when we tried to update we either lost speech, or we were told
that it was updating to an older version. All you guys said no, not to
update, but I had said yes back then, and I was the one that eventually
crashed. I don't know if the crash had anything to do with that goofy
update, but I didn't want to take any chances, so I uninstalled it. I'd
like to install it, if it can make up its silly mind about what its latest
version really is without taking away my speech; but if not, I'll just
try to be alert of when there are updates. <grin>
Also, that silly script and my attempts to recover speech caused an error
report, but the error reporting program kept not responding, so I
eventually just deleted that error, and now Window-Eyes is happily
running, error free. Is there a problem with the error reporting?
Peggy <happy to have 7.1, but afraid of doing something that will cause it
to break again>
