Questions About the Direction of Window-eyes I generally agree with Jim that this does not sound like a we issue. However, any application that talks to the soundcard drivers or the sound system in windows could cause a sound driver crash or prevent audio from working on the system. Ask any programmer taht if you are dealing with the low level drivers of display / sound etc problems can and are caused many times by the programmer tampering with things. Again I agree that this is most likely now a we issue. I just wanted to make this point. Thanks Sam

I can think of nothing window-eyes could do to cause your whole sound system to go away. If your sound drivers stop working of course window-eyes is going to be unable to speak. You see there are a lot of factors to this.

Have you tried the kill wineyes utility and the relaunch script. also gw micro has said they are working on the Microsoft bug that causes speech to stop when programs don't respond. Every screen reader has this problem. The solution for now is to use the relaunch script to restart window-eyes so you can read the system dialog. If window-eyes fails the solution is to use the kill wineyes utility to kill window-eyes and then use your short cut to restart it. so please explain why these are not working for you. 3 and 4 gw micro has already stated is being done. 4 kind of depends from what I understand on Microsoft getting mirror driver implementation. So it seems to me all four issues are in the works with good solutions already for number one.

II agree taht the person who is working on java with a script is great news. But, what about the 4 issues we mentioned ... can you comment on them? 1. Better way to deal with the loss of speech. 2. You already answered the java issue. 3. Fix browse mode. 4. support for 64bit os.

With all due respect, many comments were made regarding requests and suggestions for scripts. Was I one of the people who suggested scripts? Nope, but what a powerful tool indeed. As Aaron said, stay uned, smile. Some enterprising author is working on a script for java support. I do agree with Cory and hope that a script can be incorporated into future versions of Window-eyes. I responded privately to one of the members of this list for what I considered to be an unnecessary comment for everybody to read on such a list as this.
