The first thing you might want to do is to install the Kill WinEyes script from Script Central. When speech stops for a long period of time, pressing control-alt-F4 will ensure that Window-Eyes is stopped. At that point you can try restarting the program. Another thing I would suggest is to install the free screen reader NVDA. I don't have the address handy so you might either go to my web site at www.accesswatch.info and use the Window-Eyes find command CTRL-Shift-F to find NVDA or Google it. This screen reader is quite small and responsive and can often get you out of a tight spot.

However, if I pull the plug, I may interrupt a virus scan or some kind of cleanup going on. On the other hand, I do not want to wait two hours, thinking that a scan is in progress, when it's really another application that has crashed. Is there a way to: 1. Give higher cpu cycles to Window-Eyes so you can find out what is happening? or: 2. Give total control to Window-Eyes during keyboard activity, so you can see what is running? What's the best thing to do? Thanks. Regards: Ted Larson If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
