Hello Lisa, Jamie and all, This issue seems to be something that is not at all unique to Window-Eyes. I am wondering if the following logic couldn't, somehow, be employed each time Window-Eyes starts?
1. Check to see if weserve and wineyes are already running. 2. If they are, close them, along with any other related Window-Eyes processes. 3. Start Window-Eyes normally. I understand this seems rather drastic to perform each time WE starts, so, perhaps, it could be made available as some kind of emergency recovery facility. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisa To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 4:52 PM Subject: FW: Problems unloading and reloading Window-Eyes [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problems unloading and reloading Window-Eyes Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 23:49:50 +0000 I've had this happen as well. When I've been able to get Narrator to work and open Windows Task Manager, I've found that the wineyes and weserv processes were still running, though the others had been closed. After stopping these processes, I was able to reload Window Eyes normally. I run into this problem especially when I have problems with a web page. For example, after installing Winamp I tried to open Internet Explorer. Winamp apparently popped up a window which asked if I wanted to make it my default search, but Window Eyes crashed. I know that's what happened because this dialog came up also when I opened Firefox but Window Eyes handled it fine. I'm not sure if any of this info is helpful, but I thought it might be useful for debugging purposes.
