Yep, getting the same thing here, have to restart my machine to get it
to stop doing that. Sometimes it's good for a few days, sometimes a few
hours, before it starts doing it again. Extremely frustrating.

Yep, experiencing it with Win7 64bit pro. Even happens rather often,
and is no less than anoying, agree with you there. It even says "task
switching" followed by the window name, when it Alt-tabs throuth the
list of open windows, and it is not stuck on the Task Switching. Other
times, it gets stuck, and all you hear when alt-tabbing is
"TaskSwitching" and nothing else. Definitely needs a fix.

Hi. For some time now, I have noticed that Window-Eyes has this
annoying habit of not pronouncing the current window when I open up
an application. For example, if I press the Windows key plus r to
open the run dialog box, the box opens but Window-Eyes doesn't speak
the title. I couldn't figure out why this was going on and never
thought to push the Windows title hotkey (control shift T.) It was
only then that I discovered that the title of the window was listed
as "task switching." This is an extreme annoyance which had been
brought up on the list before but I don't know if there have been any
resolutions to the problem. So, in this case, Window-Eyes is getting
stuck on this "task switching" window. The only way I've found to get
out of it is to press some other key like the tab key. However, it
seems to also render the mouse cursor useless. This is especially
evident when opening the properties of a file or folder, realizing
that you are stuck in the purgatory of "task switching," pressing tab
(which would have your cursor on a checkbox which Window-Eyes would
not speak), going to the top left of the window with your mouse
cursor and trying to read down which yields nothing. This behavior is
intermittent, sometimes WE is fine and switches windows and reads
them fine. other times, it gets stuck. This "task switching" thing of
course always comes up when you alt tab. Again, this was brought up
earlier on the list, but I'm not sure of a resolution. I searched the
archives and couldn't seem to find anything. Perhaps I missed
something? So, it looks like if I alt tab from one window to another,
Window--Eyes will read the windows around it but not speak the text
of the current one. This does not have to do with any apps that I
have installed because they're currently off. Is anybody else
experienced this rather irksome behavior? If so, some enlightenment
would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dave
