Hi Rick, and Jonathan, and everybody. I personally haven't encountered those lock-up problems that you guys are experiencing. As an adaptive technology trainer working on a 6 month contract, ending in March, I have to say I have been teaching Window-Eyes to sighted staff, and volunteers and everything works like a charm with no hickups on their end.

UIA is the most Hi: Jonathan, looks like your message was blank. The fact that WindowEyes can crash the system, lock it up, when no reply is found from a called method or object is a bug in WindowEyes. In programming, especially when programming against third party apps, you put a request for anything in a test block so that if the object or method does not return an expected value you handle the error and continue processing. This is not bad code but a bug in WindowEyes. Their well may be a way around the quote no response by getting the information from someplace else or by using some other feature of the third party program but to lock up the screen reader because of a problem in a third party program is a bug pure and simple. I have said this when I analyzed a similar situation for Internet Explorer 11, your fault, my fault, nobodys fault just fix it AI Squared. That means testing the objects and methods within a very short timed bcode block or a try catch block or something to that effect and handling any error message or no response situation in the WindowEyes program. As for no response to AI Squared from third party vendors, you have a legal department don't you - use them.
