you do not need to do this. wineyes will kill all these programs when you close wineyes. i checked the taskmanager before and after i closed wineyes and all 5 running w e programs unloaded. and each version of windows has different command line switches. some use taskkill if you use the wineyes commands it will work with all versions of windows. use this in a batch file or try doing this in the run dialog box.
wineyes.exe /k you might have to use the full path to the wineyes.exe file. i do not have to with win 7. -----Original Message----- From: manny Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2014 9:58 AM To: Rod Hutton ; gwmicro list Subject: Re: Window Eyes stops talking or more on point- WE8.4 crashes when another program runs- Puzzle-hmmm Hi Rod, This is my copy of my kill WE8.bat file: pskill wineyes.exe pskill gwm32.exe pskill speech32.exe pskill bdisplay.exe S Just copy and paste it on to notepad and save as kill we8.bat Then yes, you can make a short cut and put it on your desktop, then give it a hotkey, key, such as control alt k for kill (smile) -- Good luck, Manny If this helps, you can thank me by checking out my stand-up comedy performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75fbevlz10g A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. -William Wordsworth, poet (1770-1850) computer specifications: Window Eyes 8.4, Dell xps420 Windows 7 home premium, with dual boot to windows 8.1, which I don't recommend using! with 8 gb RAM, Intel q6600 quad core drivers and software updated software recommended: Firefox, Thunderbird, Win Patrol, Roboform, On 4/29/2014 5:52 PM, Rod Hutton wrote: Hi Manny, You mean something like this, which, incidentally, could just go in a desktop shortcut: %windir%\system32\taskkill.exe /f /im wineyes.exe You know, it never even occurred to me to set up one, even though I have this one in a shortcut for Internet Explorer, for when the browser hangs: %windir%\system32\taskkill.exe /f /im iexplore.exe Thanks for the inspiration, Rod On 4/29/14 10:00 PM, manny wrote: Hi Rod, When WE8.4 crashes the control insert f4 does not function, and the only way to get WE8.4 back and running is with a batch file. .. -- Good luck, Manny If this helps, you can thank me by checking out my stand-up comedy performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75fbevlz10g A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. -William Wordsworth, poet (1770-1850) computer specifications: Window Eyes 8.4, Dell xps420 Windows 7 home premium, with dual boot to windows 8.1, which I don't recommend using! with 8 gb RAM, Intel q6600 quad core drivers and software updated software recommended: Firefox, Thunderbird, Win Patrol, Roboform, On 4/29/2014 2:07 PM, Rod Hutton wrote: Hi Manny, I don't know what shutout or fritz 12 are, but I don't know why you're killing WE with a batch file.
