Hi, You should run Window-Eyes from your removabl media, and not from the copy on your hard drive. I think Window-Eyes is getting confused by the location from which you're running it. Window-Eyes will always creat a user profile folder automatically if it doesn't find one, but I think Window-Eyes needs to be in a folder near the bottom of a drive tree to run properly. This is why I think it's best to run it from the removabl drive, since on a USB drive, you usually put it in a folder in the root folder, like f:\we.
