Well, I'm not Andrew, but one way I know of is to use the "kill window eyes" script. it does not work on vista, and it does not work if window eyes has hung to the point where scripts are not executing (still a regular occurrence for me). however, if you've only lost speech, the kill window eyes script is often helpful in getting window eyes restarted.
One other suggestion for Andy is to disable scripting completely, and see if that stops the hang during outlook spell check. I have no idea if it will, but it's something to be tried. 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: Heidi [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 10:25 PM > To: 'Downie, Andrew'; 'Andy Baracco'; [email protected] > Subject: RE: WE 7.1 and MS Outlook 2007 > > Would you share this?
