Can others please try this (and I am the author of the script BTW) and
report back here to see if this is a more replicatable issue by others?

Yep, already tried that even before I reported it to the script dev, same
loss of speech occurs. I've even removed the Winamp script about a dozen
times, deleted the winamp settings.ini and WINAMP_CustomMessages.xml that
were left behind, then reinstalled the Winamp script again with no
change.

Can you try this with just GWToolkit and the Winamp scripts loaded and no
others? We need to isolate this more. Even Raul at GW couldn't
replicate
this from earlier today (thanks Raul).

I tried running Narrator a couple times when this happened, but the WE
crash
made the system extremely sluggish. I don't have a us flash drive, but I
could give NVDA a whirl. Volume isn't a problem with this issue
because I'v
had music running when I attempted the minimize, and it continued
playing at
the correct volume after I' lost speech. I run regular virus scans and
defrags, so not likely the issue either. Also been able to duplicate
this on
a second machine.

Just a bit of an idea! If you want to know, if there is an error message,
how about installing a sedcond screenreader, i.e NVDA. When WE looses
out on
speech, you quickly can call up NVDA with a hotkey, and have the screen
checked for error messages etc. Or, you might even be able to run a mobil
version of WE off an USB drive. I am using these methods myself, to track
down certain tasks and problems, arising on my sytem. If you are
unable to
get a secondary screenreader up and running, usually, that means you
have a
bit of a system trouble. Does the secondary screenreader come up, though,
you are more likely to have a problem with WE. Also, I have seen certain
times, when a system 'all out of its own mind', turns down the volume. A
volume set to 0, means no speech. Recently had that happening to me on my
laptop, over and over again. Running a service, including checkup for
virus/spyware, and a defragmentation of the hard drive, did solve the
trouble.
OK, I am not a Winamp user - dont like the software - so I can't tell
if any
of this will be helpful in your situation. Just thought to drop a
note, in
case it will help anyone out, in cases, where speech is lost frequently.

Subject: we script 1.3 issues
Hi all. I installed version 1.3 of the Winamp script about two weeks ago,
and I've had some serious problems since. I reported the main issue I've
seen to the developer, but so far he can't duplicate it. I thought I'd
run
it by the list; see if any of you have seen this behavior as well.
I've got Winamp 5.5.52 set to have a system tray icon, so I can
minimize it
and get it out of the tab order. However, when I press alt, arrow down to
minimize, and hit enter, I instantly lose speech. I do have Wesounds
installed, but neither it nor Windows itself makes an error sound, and
obviously I can't tell if there's an error messagebox without speech. The
only thing I can do when this happens is to reboot the machine
(fortunately
I can get to shutdown/restart without speech). I've removed the Winamp
script, and when I minimize Winamp with the steps above, no dump of
speech.
Reinstall the script and minimize, poof bye bye speech. I've got this
issue
on both my XP Pro and Vista HP machines, both running Winamp 5.5.52,
WE 7.01
with MSTTS 4.0, and the same exact scripts running.
Unfortunately, I forgot to save the .wepm file for the last version I had
before I upgraded to 1.3, so now I'm stuck with a script that keeps
crashing
me. If anybody has the .wepm file for the last version of the script,
please
send it to me off-list.
