Yes, Jeff. I don't know how or why, but the all users Window-Eyes account somehow gets loaded during shutdown. While I was trying to make the beta blow up and changing settings on my first computer, which is still using WE 6.1, I switched the All Users account on that machine to the DECTalk synthesizer. It is still set that way. Now, when I shut that computer down, DECTalk sometimes comes up to tell me what is shutting down. I can get the computer to do this fairly consistently if I have had occasion to close and then reopen Window-Eyes at some point before the shutdown. For instance, sometimes I cannot get a page to load, pressing the browse mode key or the F5 key only nets me an error ding and the message, "Downloading page." The only option I have at that point is to open the WE control panel, shut WE down, then restart it again. At the end of the day, Window-Eyes saying, "Windows is shutting down, Windows is shutting down" has become a familiar phrase. I never mentioned it, since it doesn't cause a problem.

It seems as though the logon Window-eyes is loading and speaking until the machine is ready to shut down. -----Original Message----- From: Michael D.
