Brenda, Something you said rings a very loud, clanging bell for me:
" you couldn't just automatically go into a folder when you wanted to." A few weeks ago I bought a new computer. It has Win XP with Service Pack 3, and a version of the Microsoft Office suite, basic edition, but probably most significantly, it's the Version 2007. The first time I brought up Outlook after first configuring it for my ISP, it wanted to download this new and wonderful search feature. Unfortunately, I allowed it. But I experienced immediate major changes in the computer's behavior which prompted second thoughts and uninstalled it. Unfortunately the damage was done. From the time of that fateful install of the "improved" search function, Windows Explorer was broken. I could navigate wherever I wished, so long as I used only arrow keys and tabs, but as soon as I needed to hit the Enter key, up popped that vial search feature that resides on the Start Menu. I hate to tell you this if this describes some of your problems, but it took me a computer guru, who claimed he had never seen this, a Microsoft Knowledgebase article, and a Registry hack to return things to normal. Thank God Geoff could fix it, because I was totally crippled!

I like the way a lot has changed. But I'm having some major problems. I installed it and it seemed to run just fine. It asked me to download some scripts to make applications run better and I did that. I'm running Windows XP Pro with the latest Service Pack and all the updates. I have a Turtle Beach Montego DDl Sound card in here, too. I've got 3GB's of RAM. I run Internet Explorer 7 and all its updates are current. Now, what seems to start happening is this. I'm using the TripleTalk USB for my default synthesizer. It's usually pretty responsive, but since this newest version of Window-Eyes, things have drastically changed. If I use Eloquence or DECTalk 32, I won't exactly have what's going on. I cannot up or down arrow, left or right arrow, backspace or space with ease. If I go to my computer and start looking on drives or folders, it'll take forever to get there and then, you think you've highlighted something, and you've actually highlighted a file or folder above the one you want to do something with or below the one you want to do something with and you don't really know until you delete one and then you know. The system will ultimately crash and basically, there's nothing we can do except to reboot. However, it's not like a normal crash. It seems that if you're downloading something, it'll continue to download if you let the system run, but no speech or any kind of reaction from the screen reader, whatsoever. Yesterday, this happened about five times. I scanned for viruses and found none. I'm running NOD32 Version 3. I'm also running Spyware Doctor Version 6. Up to now, the only difference I could tell was that, when I installed Spyware Doctor Version 6, you couldn't just automatically go into a folder when you wanted to. I, just for fun, installed Window-Eyes 7.01 on an older system running XP Home with all its hot fixes, Nod32, Internet Explorer 7 and all its fixes. The differences are this: On the older system, my default synth is the DoubleTalk LT. The other difference is that I do not have Spyware Doctor installed in it. I have no problem on it, whatsoever, with Window-Eyes 7.01. It's a much slower processor. It's an AMD Athlon and on this system here is an Intel processor. On this system, if I try and make the TripleTalk be quiet by hitting the control key to interrupt it, I cannot, but on the other system, if I do that, DoubleTalk LT will stop immediately. Now, as I said, I don't exactly know how to write all this, but it's complicated, to say the least. If you can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, in advance.
