I have the same issues with Vista and Window-eyes. I did manage to get my wife to check things out once, and I got a message "Windows explorer is restarting." After that WE came back. I have searched for this error online, but the only references I find to it say it was fixed with service pack one, which I have installed already.

Hi, well, you're not the only one this happens to. with me however, it's only on my vista system, so I thought it was related to vista. I guess not, or maybe there's more than one cause. can you install the script that restarts window eyes, the one which uses windows key plus backslash to restart window eyes; that way, when you lose speech you could press this key twice (that's the signal for it to restart window eyes), and if it restarts you have an idea that it's the speech and not window eyes locking up. for me, this never works, so it's window eyes locking up. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission [email protected] (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Munawar Bijani [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 9:31 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: W E randomly freezing? > > Hello All, > I recently bought Window-Eyes, and love it.
