Hi, all. I think Steve was on the right track with my WE and netbook
problem, when he mentioned the Homer Layout script. I'd gotten it when I
first installed WE, because it sounded close to Homer Shared Objects, or
whatever it's called, so I thought maybe I was supposed to have both. But I
remember talking about how my insert t to tell the time didn't work, and I
had to hit enter on WE's standard layout to get it to work, and then other
things worked weirdly, culminating in the arrows and hotkeys problems on the
web and in Outlook Express.
I tried to find where to copy the default folder, per Steve's
recommendation, but I think my netbook must have that unavailable to users,
because I never could get there, whether with run or find or anything. So
tonight I finally uninstalled my Window-Eyes, and we re-installed my 7.1
version. Now the arrow keys and the context menu and the hotkeys on the web
all work like they should. The only thing that's different is that when I
write a message or reply to one, WE doesn't read the to, cc, bcc, etc.
Fortunately, I know what those are supposed to be, so for now I can live
with that, though I'd eventually like to get it to read them again. And
when I tab to it, it still says "Window-Eyes", without saying any set files
are active or associated. I don't know why they wouldn't automatically be
associated, like they are on my big 'puter. Maybe things work differently
on a netbook? And the updater keeps telling me 7.11 is available, but I'm a
bit scared to update, lest something break again. But if it truly was the
Homer Layout thing, maybe I should just bite the bullet and do it. But what
if it was the 7.11 upgrade on my netbook? I think I'll have to get up my
courage for that one.
So I'm on the way to recovery. Now, maybe with some tweaking and learning
to associate things, the netbook will eventually read as well as the
desktop.
Thanks, all, for your help.
Peggy
