Bud, I'd call this a known problem (my words, not GW's).
Try installing the app named "kill Window-Eyes", which tries to terminate the background services and processes which belong to WE, and if successful, then lets you restart WE. The app places a shortcut on your desktop, with a shortcut hotkey of control-alt-f4, which runs a batch file which contains commands to terminate the processes mentioned above, so it doesn't count on WE being able to run the app. For some reason, it works on xp for me, not on Vista, but does on Windows 7 (might be due to my vista having UAC turned on, and my Win 7 having it turned off). This is my suggested work around until it's fixed. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Bud Schwab [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 11:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: wineyes stop speaking Hi Gang, Quite often right in the middle of something wineyes will just stop speaking and I can't do anything short of rebooting to get it back. The keyboard still is functional though. I can reboot it with a silent keyboard and I can start NVDA. While NVDA is on I press control alt W to try to turn wineyes and NVDA says windoweyes is already running. Any thoughts? Latest version of wineyes and windows 7 64 bit. Am using dectalk, but have for years without this problem. Thanks. Bud Schwab W 6 Z Y P Malibu, California If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
