No. The only changes I made was to get rid of all of the "ax windoweyes" in the app. I think there were 3 and the app runs fine.
I've tried other apps by loading the app manually, unloading the app, and then loading again with the load button. I have the same problem with other apps.

I did just fix them again. Unfortunately, using my example code and eloquence and vista (and vista could be important), I just cannot duplicate your problem. Have you changed the code in the example (more than fixing the compilation issues?) could you be running into something which is still running even after you try to unload it? I seem to remember if an app doesn't shut itself down by watching for the onShutdown event, it could take window-eyes up to 30 seconds to shut it down. this doesn't apply if the app is doing nothing, but if it's busy doing something, then maybe it does apply, so if you've altered the code significantly, why not post it here and I'll take a look? thanks.

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.
