Unfortunately it's happening here as well on my XP pro machine. I know the desktop items are on the screen because the mouse keys find them. The desktop won't speak and will actually say "no selected item." I hit the letters mo and pressed enter to see if Mozilla Firefox came up and it did. So the computer has the desktop but WE isn't speaking it when in this state. It seems to be something with Windows Explorer because other Explorer windows exhibit the same lack of speech. I have sent a WE Diag report to GW when WE is in this state. Logging off has helped but it seems that a total reboot works better. Of course it's possible that this 3 year old machine has something to do ith the problem but it's still frustrating when restarts are necessary instead of restarting WE. If I want to put off the total reboot I'll close WE and run NVDA which will still read the desktop.

I haven’t been following the messages on this list, so don’t know if this has been reported, but the problem of the desktop not reading if you exit and restart WE has seemed to reappear with this latest version of WE. I’ve only had to exit and restart once, so don’t know if this will keep happening, but I had to restart to be able to read the desktop again.
