Hi, this is an attempt to help Jim with a few things to try to get window-eyes on his main drive, to speaking again. I don't know if Jim has done this, however, since window-eyes has a great feature called back up synthosizer, I believe everyone should set up a back up synthosizer to try to help in situations in such has Jim's experiencing. Jim didn't state in his message if he checked to see if his sound card had gotten muted and he didn't even say if he had a hardware synthosizer. This would be valuable information to know in trying to help him. Having said that, I have a couple things for him to check/try. The first thing to try doesn't happen cvery often, however, over the years I've seen this happen from time to time and I don't know why. But sometimes your sound card will get muted, and if you're using a software synthosizer you won't hear anything. So if you're hearing some sort of windows sound etc, of course your sound card isn't muted. So the second thing we need to check, is the window-eyes synthosizer you are using. Make sure the one you like to use is the one you've selected. Then for software synthosizer users, if you have more then one sound card, check to see if the one you want window-eyes to use is selected. Then of course tab to okay and hopefully you'll have speach. In the mean time for everyone, using software speech that would like to be sure the sound card you're using with window-eyes isn't muted, you can use a little utility program called quick mix This is the home page to quickmix http://www.ptpart.co.uk/quickmix/
In addition to having the ability to choose a back up synthosizer, I would hope that window-eyes will add a feature to check if your sound card has gotten muted and just unmute it, or just a hot key to do this. I really don't like to have to rely on another scrreen reader to see what's going on with window-eyes and your system. If you would like to have another screen reader to rely on from time to time I recomend the free one called non visual desktop In fact Jim may not have another screen reader installed so he could do what I've done before which is to open window-eyes window, to do that command it would be control plus backslash. After you believe you have the window-eyes window focused, go alt plus f, then press y for synthosizer, then that will open the list of synthosizers. If you're not sure, if you don't have speech where you are in the list of synthosizers, just to be sure press home about 2 or 3 times, then hit d, the first thing you'll land on is dec accesss for window-eyes. If you only have one sound card just hit enter. If you have more than one sound card, however, you'll have to tab and select the right sound card you want to use. Then you can tab to okay and you should have speech. Hope this helps and good luck. Note: as to why the emergency removal of window-eyes is not working for you I don't know. This something hopefully gw-micro or someone else can address.

Have two HDs, the main drive a 160 GB and ghe secondary HD a 40 GB. At the present I am running the 40 GB. They are both sset up with WE, the 160 has 6.1 and the 40 has the 7 beta. Pproblem, when I boot up using the 160 GB I get no WE at all. I have tested to see if the speech is present by pressing the alt tab and then removing WE then attemptting to restart WE the WE hot-key - 'ctrl+shift+w'. I receive the msg, Window eyes is already running. I have had someone with sight verify this for me. Any ideas on what might be going on with the 160 GB HD? BTW, it was working up till around a few weeks ago..? I have tried running the emergency uninstall on the this drive but to no avail..? Any suggestions / ideas on what I might try to get the primary drive to work..? I am open to any suggestions..! THANKS VERY MUCH! & 73 de [{KF8LT}{JIM WOHLGAMUTH}].
