Hi Gail,
It sounds like window eyes has become unresponsive.
Here is a copy of my previous that will help you run skill.exe to kill we:
I'd like to share some info, which I have posted before, but is worth
repeating,
with regards to losing sound.
Firstly, with regards to the ding sound which is generated by the
windows operating
system.
I some times lose sound after hearing the ding sound.
This happens in explorer, Firefox, internet explorer, wordpad, notepad.
My solution:
I unplug the usb connection for my headset, and WE7.2 starts speaking
via my external
speakers. I then replug my usb headset and everything is back to normal.
In this case, windows lost sound to my headset, which is a known bug to
all windows
operating systems.
Now, another known bug for all windows operating systems is that
keyboard stops functioning.
I use a wireless keyboard, and when I lose sound, I hit windows key on
my usb keyboard
and sometimes my sound is back.
In this case, my wireless keyboard stopped functioning.
Now, sometimes the usb keyboard is not responding either.
In this case, I unplug the usb keyboard and wait for a ding sound, and
then I replug
the usb keyboard, and this sometimes does the trick, and keyboard is
working again.
However, sometimes the lost of sound is caused by a WE7.2 crash.
In this case, I use a batch file to unload all three gwmicro programs,
and restart
WE7.2, and I am back to normal.
Here is the instruction on how to create this batch file:
download pskill from:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683
:
then copy and paste
pskill.exe
to
c:\windows
copy the following:
pskill wineyes.exe
pskill gwm32.exe
pskill speech32.exe
pskill bdisplay.exe
S
to a notepad document, and save it as:
kill_we.bat
then create a short-cut to the batch file and place it on the desktop.
then right click on the short-cut and press r for property
then tab to hot key and give it a hot key.
I use control alt k which stands for kill WE-- smile.
Good luck, Manny

Hi, I have Windows Vista and WE 8.4. This past Sunday May 11 speach
kept on chattering even though I pressed the control key several
times. I finally had to reboot to get the chatter to stop. Is there
any other way to do this without rebooting? Any assistance is
appreciated. Thanks. Gayle
