Hi Doug, I had a script which hooked these same events, and it was hanging on me at one time. the problem was that the summary event calls the fieldName event, but I didn't know it at the time, and could end up in an infinite loop. I'm mentioning it just in case you aren't aware of this relationship.

When it happens, the machine becomes sluggish, there's no speech, and the only solution I've found is to shut down Window-Eyes via the Task Manager (my method being Ctrl-Shift-Esc, hope the correct tab is active, type "wineyes" but not too fast or too slow, type Alt-E, pause, type Alt-E again, pause, press Space, wait for the dust to settle). The script hooks OnObjectFocus, OnChildFieldName/Data and OnChildSummary from the Desktop window (but each has code to avoid doing anything if window.process.processID <> clientInformation.applicationProcess.processID), and OnStateChange for the shared objects. The hangs only occur rarely and always when I shut down the application. I'm assuming this is some sort of script loop, but that's hard to prove.
