I have similar experiences, and I have concluded that most of the time, the culprit is the Windows update system, or that Outlook is crunching away at archiving.
The only solution I have found is to let the windows update do its stuff. I have always had lockups throughout my entire Windows experience - I'm not certain that anything is worse or better with Windows seven than with previous versions. I would be happier about this if there was a way for window-eyes to send a message from the operating system, but I guess that isn't possible. It just seems to me that some process somewhere is strangling Window-Eyes, rather than Window-eyes itself being the cause.

Like you, I have to restart the computer to get WE to speak again. I have been using Windows 7 for a long time. The problems began when I somehow allowed automatic updates to update my Internet Explorer to IE11. I went backwards to IE9, but the problem persists.
