Dear David, and Everyone,
Thanks a bunch for this info.
I'm going to get rid of all my scripts, and start fresh, after I make
sure my computer is working fine without scripts, then I'll
re-install the scripts one by one, starting with the GW ToolKit.
I don't have time to do this right now.
I ended up rebooting my computer twice this morning, and I sent two
error messages to GW Micro.
Someone told me I had to install the System Genuine Advantage, and
that is not true. I'm not letting Microsoft have the knowledge of
everything that is on my computer.
Thanks a bunch.

First of all, make sure that you have the latest version of GWToolkit.
I have noticed the behavior of WE freezing at the startup,
frequently. In many cases, it is because it needs to, or even are in
the process of, updating the GWToolkit script. If you update any of
the other scripts, first, and they rely on the GWToolkit, it seems
things are bound to hang. The staff tells that there has been taken
steps - in WE7.1 - to fix the script update problem. We all are
waiting for that... :)
If you are in a position, where you have the chance, try to reboot
your computer with the net cable (for the internet) unpluged. Doing
this, WE will not try to update any scripts, and your machine might
start troublefree. First speech is up and running, plug your
internet cable again. If this works, it is a matter of the updating
routines, for the scripts. If not, you might have other things on
your system, causing the problem. If it is the script updating,
though, my suggestion is to go through all your scripts installed,
and under the help menu, you will find the settings for when the
updates should take place. Simply turn it off, by setting it to
NEVER. Then download and install the INSTALL PAcKAgES script, and
use that one, for manually updating all your scripts - maybe once a
week. Just make sure, always to update the GWToolkit, and the HOMER
script first, as many of the other scripts (that is more or less all
of them), are relying on one, or both, of these.
Hope this is of help, to anyone,

Subject: Window-Eyes Freezing on startup
Dear GW Micro Staff, and Everyone,
Hi, Quite often, Window-Eyes freezes on startup. This has been
happening for a long time. This morning, I had to reboot my
computer, as I had no speech. I did the End-Task, and that didn't
work, either. Then I remembered, after rebooting, when this
happened again, that I could do a control-backslash, and alt-f4,
and shut down Window-Eyes, and reload it, again. I did this, and
Window-Eyes was talking again, and I got the error reporting thing
for the second time this morning. I closed the task manager window,
and I sent the error report with no comments.
Also, my scripts are trying to update older scripts, dated from May
6th. This also has been happening since February.
What do you recommend that I try? <smile>
Thanks much.
Pat Ferguson always loving Window-Eyes
