Hi all. I am hoping that my question is as clear as it can be: I am of the opinion that my work's internal computer security systems are causing Window-eyes to operate erratically, and I wonder if there is somewhere a summary of the components of Window-eyes which need to be able to access software resources unencumbered by corporate security systems.
Apps do not install correctly; I have problems making changes to Office options to improve performance of Word and Excel in Office 2010, and Internet Explorer v9cannot be customised to take advantage of accessibility features. Outlook halts at random. Excel crashed yesterday when I wanted to use a pull-down menu. Unlike the other examples - it now looks as if my corporate profile copy of Excel is corrupt. in general, whenever I want to make changes, or when a failure occurs, I need to wait for a support analyst with administration rights. One of the first steps is for the analyst to restore my user profile, and this often means a reinstall of window-eyes, braille display drivers etc, and doesn't in the longer term improve stability. I am running Windows Seven (I think Enterprise), Window-eyes v8. My colleague uses Jaws and I know that she has instability issues as well, which might be influenced by corporate security. Finally: I do not believe that I should by default blame Window-'eyes, but it does need an optimum environment in order to work correctly. My Excel example: Window-eyes does not crash, but I think that the failure may be related to Window-eyes components. Thanks.
