Hi. It's starting to seem to me that System Access is the one product that won't play nice with the rest. I have three screen readers on my machines at home. I also volunteer at an agency where their machines also have Zoomtext and Magic. People switch between products often. System Access is not on my machines here or at the agency where I volunteer. I've had situations where WE and JFW are both running at the same time and I've been able to close either of them successfully. NVDA also can be closed while WE is running and WE can be closed when NVDA is running. It's not easy when you have two screen readers up at the same time. It seems that SA is the one that really needs to be run by itself.

I have W E, system access, and NVDA on my Asus netbook.  I've noticed a
software conflict between SA and W E.  If you try to load W E while SA is
loaded, I get a hook erryr.  If I try to load SA while W E is running, SA
refuses to load.  W E and SA do not llike to run together.

 Greetings fellow listers

I have three screen access programs on my system.  I'm using windowsxpsp3
with the great scripting functionality with WindowEyes.  I am also using
System Access and NVDA.  I have the WindowEyes kill WinEyes script
installed.  When I shut down WE it doesn't always work totally.  If I use
the control ult f4 conbination to try to kill WE it doesn't always go away.
When I do simultaneously use another screen reader I sometimes hear the
unable to set hook error and when I hit o.k. WE can restart. The problem
happens when I stop WE and often happens when I try to restart WE after
using another screen access program. In other words, WE sometimes refuses
to die and it sometimes refuses to start.  When I try to restart we I am
often told that WE is already is running.

While I'm an unabashed supporter of WE since 1994 I do like other products
for different reasons.

I'm not sure what has changed because I haven't always had this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.
