Hi Chris,
Thanks for responding.
But what good is it to have a multicore program when it does not have
exclusive use of a core, and other programs take control of the
processor and leaves the screen reader silent?
I think it would be better to lock a core or 2 for the exclusive use of
WE9.2,
and thus increasing the probability that WE9.2 will not go silent.
As I mentioned, when my fritz is analyzing a chess game, WE9.2 goes
silent until fritz finishes working which takes about 30 minutes.. If
WE9.2 has a lock on a core, WE9.2 would not go silent.
Is there a way to set WE9.2 to have exclusive use of a core?
Many thanks,
Manny

Hi,
Window-eyes is a multi-threaded application. This means it takes advantage of
all cores.
If you could reduce Window-eyes to only use one, you'd significantly reduce its
performance.

Why not?
Dear Chris,
Can someone at aisquare please answer this question, why can't WE9.2 be
programmed to be installed with exclusive control of one core in a multi-core
system?
Copy of thread below.
Many thanks,
Manny
