Hi: OK, so it looks like WindowEyes is somehow having a negative impact on Internet Explorer likely via something it does that steps on what Internet Explorer is doing and if not causing it to crash then causing reading problems, slowdowns and, or, lockups - perhaps. This is what I had guessed since people using other readers were not getting anywhere near the problems that WindowEyes users were getting using various products when it comes to slowdowns and lockups as well as reading losses on websites. I once saw an error message that there was a problem in one of the native dlls of the operating system that I believe WindowEyes and Internet Explorer may both be using - not a good idea to continue using native operating system features when Microsoft is building everything around the .net framework with specialized handling of operating system dlls for fundemental operating system features me thinks. I know that is sort of "geek speak" but the test Manny just ran and Elizibith concurred on tells me that looking at WindowEyes would be the prime place to look for a solution to the problem while not excluding other possibilities. I have posted on this and other e-lists asking about a tool to monitor what is going on under the operating system covers when WindowEyes starts to slow down and crash or stop reading, but nobody has anything other than the Task Manager which wont tell you anything of use, or usually not, since you cant read it when the screen reader is dead whether for a few seconds or for longer. Nobody had any good ideas of something accessible to track the actions of things like scripts, system dlls or third party processes that could be tracked when a problem starts but I am pretty sure one could be built - just quite complicated and time consuming and a tool that AI Squared has to have available already or they are in the dark when trying to test and debug their product - I have not heard from anyone from AI Squared as to what they use. At least you can do your work using jaws until, unless, AI Squared figures out what the problem is and how to fix it - if they can, given the current WindowEyes platform infastructure. So, as I am known to say on the Blind Finance list... Good Hunting Gang! Rick USA
