Sorry again Bruce ... I was just tired ... really, it does matter what "display" is set to, and there really are (I promise), two settings where the hotkey for loading an app just does nothing. so, let me try again ... could that be what you were running into? Chip

I seem to remember that, but it's no longer the case, I just got it to prompt me for a file to load no matter how "display" was set.

In fact when doing the Load App feature does not even work any more. I get nothing when using that hot key. All I can say is that it use to work, but not any more! Bruce Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2011 10:29 AM Subject: problems with app manager I am continuing to have problems with App Manager. Using WE 7.5 windows xp pro sp3 Try this and see what happens: 1. Open App manager 2. Choose load 3. Type in an app name-I used the working version of the example from Chip's class 10 Which I called PopUpText 4. The app loaded fine for me. 5. Choose unload and unload the app. 6. Choose load again and load the same app. When I did this, the app manager appeared to hang the speech and finally the app appeared to be loaded--but it was not in the list. When I loaded it a second time, it loaded properly again. Also, as I reported before, when trying to load an app from a folder within my default folder, either by typing the name or by using the dialog to navigate to the file, there is a long delay, and then window-eyes reports file not found. I did switch to Eloquence instead of DecTalk and this seems to help reducing some of the long speech blackouts, but I think that we really have gone backwards with WE 7.5 as far as the App Manager, and the instability of the DecTalk synthesizer interface.
