Hi Chip,
It was an interesting notice and I have to wait until tomorrow for my
friend to come over.
As Rod mentioned, I have suspected Avast and yes it probably is Avast doing
it. But oddly only for my notebook.
It does not show up on the other ones, just the notebook, which I use all
the time.
I was suspicious because the alert came on all of them today but so far
only the old XP is slow.

These are all great ideas.
The audio alert is obviously the startup sound Rod mentions.
But I have to say Bruce, no one else is reporting anything like this on the
gw-info list.
Hopefully Rod's ideas will solve this; but if not, try using a system restore
point, and if things go back to normal; I'd run a thorough virus scan, and then
try the upgrade again.
I noticed this morning my pc downloaded a bunch of windows updates, so this
may also be a coincidence tied to the updates being applied at the same time.
Good luck,
Chip

Hi Bruce,
There are now startup and shutdown sounds assigned in the Sounds entry for
Window-Eyes in the control panel.
As for slow performance, perhaps try shutting down and restarting
Window-Eyes. This worked for me in Windows 7.
I notice you are using Avast. Have you informed Avast about the new version
of Window-Eyes. I used to use PC-Cillin, and it used to interfere when I did
an upgrade of my screen reader until I told it about the upgrade.
hth,
Rod

I got upgrade 8.4 for Windoweyes and it has slowed down my notebook to a
crawl and get an audio alert upon power-up but nothing happens.
Once loaded everything slows down and Internet goes blank for long
periods.
I can not even use the alt F4 to see what is going on...
What is going on?
