I'm going to attempt to give as enough information as I possibly can about the loss of speech problem to help the window eyes programming team in the hopes this info wil help them solve this issue.
at the end of this message I'll describe a quirk that's been going on since version 6.1 and possibly earlier than that. If it's important I could go bac, and check, but for right now let's focus on what I believe is the most important which is window-eyes beta 70.2. The following is my findings from using 70 beta 2. Operating system, windows xp, s p3 with all updates, antivirus running the backround is antiver. With use of the task manager I've been able to advoid rebooting. Before I forget I'm using the synthosizer dec access for window-eyes. And of course I don't know exactly what's causing this loss of speech but these are my observations. So far this appears to be consistant, whenever an application stops responding and pops a dialog up, window-eyes goes silent, and the last occurances was when internet explorer 7 encountered a problem and needed to close, and asks the question do you want to a report to micro soft, something to that affect. How I knew this was going on is because I used non visual desktop which had a little problem itself. I actually ended up closing all the missbehaved activity and even after that I closed and reopened window-eyes which was still acting not right. At that time I took the opportunity to reinicialize the synthosizer which didn't do anything. So I closed window-eyes again, then reopened window-eyes, and hey it worked, I'm writing this message. Sometimes the speech acts a little funny but I always seem to get it back, knock on wood. For the little quirky thing, this has been going on since 6.1 or possibly earlier, when in outlook express in the message list, 2 things, sometimes you can be simply arrowing through some messages, and one will pop open. When this happens you can not simply press the excape key to get out of that message that popped open. It does no good to close window-eyes and reopen. I actually think but not sure, this may actually be an outlook express bug because even with window-eyes closed, you can tap the excape key on the popped open message. Sometimes with window-eyes closed you can close the the message that popped open by tapping the excape and other times you can not. This behavior has been going on for at least 2 years. When this happens and you can not close a message all you can do is close outlook express. And now for the second issue with outlook, you could be having a good experience with outlook with window-eyes, and jjust simply delete a message with the delete key the speech will act funny and you need to close window-eyes, and reopen the window-eyes and the message list will read right again. I intend to do some more intensive beta testing on vista as well and much more on xp because I want and also gwmicro wants window-eyes to remain very stable rock solid. Note to the gwmicro staff I'll gladly help in anyway I can. I have lots of computers and lots of ways to test with known consistancy.

Obviously this is frustrating and disappointing for us as we don't want you to have these problems and yet we aren't seeing them so solving them is difficult. -- Michael D.
