Hi Doug,
Was looking forward to upgrade of WinEyes 9.5.4 to 9.5.5. Unable to
access start menu since 9.5.4. I am using Windows 10, 4GB ram quad
core Gateway. Have to kill and restart WinEyes to be able to access
the start menu Since 9.5.4. Down graded back to avoid this issue.
Hi Pam,
I'm sorry, but this is too much thinking overtime.
Yes, Control-Alt-W will restart Window-Eyes, but so will finding Window-Eyes on
the Start menu, and choosing it.
The simple fact is that there is nothing built into Window-Eyes that makes
Control-Alt-W work.
The icon is what does it.
Hi Loy,
I have found many times that after answering a User Account Control prompt, my
keyboard language gets switched, rendering me unable to use my keyboard
normally.
The only solution is a reboot.

If you can'f find a way to fix the problem in Window-Eyes, try this:
First, let me say that I am running Win7, so the details may be slightly
different.
In the Windows search box, type "window-e"
You should get a list of items. Highlight the one that says "Window-Eyes"
Press the context
Hey Neville,
I have Jaws set to read the desktop that way (e.g. 15 of 26)but it
doesn't work in TB. I think I found the setting in the help menu under
start-up options - I changed the verbosity to intermediate. I'm pretty
sure that is when the deskitop started reading 15 of 26 etc..

I know exactly what you are saying Brenda because I am missing this
feature as well.
In one of Raul's mp3 tutorials on making the switch, the desktop icons
read out their index number as he arrows around the screen. e.g. 15 of 26.
Has anyone been able to duplicate this and if so, how did
But in the last few versions, they had put on control alt w in case window
eyes would crash, and it was supposed to be able to restart window eyes. It
has worked most of the time for me. So, maybe you have to reinstall it.
Or, is it an ap? I know somebody said all their aps were suddenly

Thanks to those who answered my query regarding the scroll lock key.

In your default folder where all your apps and setfiles are, you should find
2 files:

and
wineyes.ini.bak
These files store some other information first, but at the end of your file,

These numbers may not be in order,
Before you start to arrow through the combo box, try alt-down arrow first.
That may work.

Hi Marvin,
Wow, you use 3 screen readers. I'm having enough trouble learning jaws.
I keep trying to use W-E commands in jaws.
Fortunately, Window-eyes doesn't freeze (hhh) with TB. I have had an
occasional issue with FF and W-E freezing. I'm finding jaws is
confusing with FF.
On my banking site I used to get combo boxes which were easy to access
to select desired account number WITH ENTER and arrow.
Now they seem to be drop-down boxes. I also ran into this on an
application I was filling out.
In Window-eyes if I arrow, shift-tab and tab back and forth I can read
Hi. I don't know of a way to do this. WE and NVDA do this without
making changes but Jaws just doesn't seem to handle this list in the
same way. I've actually stopped using Jaws with TB because there are
also other issues that are there. At this point in time it seems to me
that NVDA works
Try Insert-B, which is the read box command in JAWS and NVDA. Results may also
depend on which browser you use.

Hi Neville,
I think it's a throw-back to the days of terminal programs which would scroll
text stream from BBS's or the like, and so ScrollLock would lock the screen,
giving you a chance to read it before it scrolled away on you.
Nowadays, you can just map it to your own use.
