Hi there,
I could be rong, but both of these sound like video card issues. For
example, the keys that window-eyes uses to adjust the speech may have
been taken over by the video card as a way to rotate the display of
the screen. Easy way to confirm this is to get a sightling and ask
them if anything changes on the screen when you press this button, say
control alt left arrow. They will probably gasp or make some other
noize right away because the screen will flip sideways.
The other thing sounds like a colours or resolution issue, but I
wonder, if you redraw the screen do the repeted words go away? I have
this problem on my rustic old turion windows pc, and I can get it to
go away by unloading window-eyes and reloading. It doesn't really
happen all that often to me, and not to scare you or anything, but
there is clearly something rong with the video in that machine because
it's exhibitting other symptums as well not related to window-eyes.
Hope this helps,

Computers are not my strength, so bear with me. I have Window Eyes
6.1, which might be the entire problem. I finally got it installed
on an Asus EEE PC 901
(the 8.9 inch screen). Two problems exist:
1. When on the desktop, it keeps saying "desktop" over and over
again. It does not do this at the task bar or start button. It
does do it when I'm in various
windos and applications. For example, in the Window Eyes window, it
keeps saying that over and over. It's bad enough that I cannot
easily do anything that
requires hearing the screen's other contents.
2. the control alt arrow keys function for modifying voice options
quickly doesn't work. I attached a wireless keyboard just to make
sure it wasn't the keyboard
on the netbook. Same problem exists.
I'd appreciate any input you might have to offer. And, if there's
other problems you know I will be confronting sooner or later, I'd
love a heads up.
Thanks.
Jen
