Actually, just have to second this. My 7.11, did NOT recognize the .wepm files, either. Had to manually make them associated with Widnow-Eyes. If anyone else is wondering how to do this, here is the way.
1. When pressing ENTER on the .wepm file, and the dialogue comes up, where it asks whether you want windows to search on the web, or choose from a list: Accept to choose from a list, and preess ENTER on this. 2. A list of available applications comes up. Press the W, till you hear Window-Eyes. 3. Press the Tab key, till you get to a checkbox, saying something like: Always use this application. 4. Make sure this Checkbox is checked. 5. Tab to the OK button, and press ENTER. Your system hereafter will use Window-Eyes for opening/handling the .wepm files. Not sure, but it seems GW have send out a series of copies of WE, where this feature is not automatically implemented. I am not saying, that this has happened intentionally, only saying, that since this has happened to several people, something might have gone wrong on a certain amount of CDs sent out. I did report this problem a few months ago, and back then, was told it must have been my system, but now we have the proof, my system was not on its own, having this 'fun'. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Chip Orange To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 3:48 PM Subject: RE: Question about sharing a script Aaron, I have to say, along with the original poster, I too have been unable to get the .wepm association to work with earlier versions of window eyes. I believe it was 7.11 I tried, under vista, and got the message that Windows didn't know whatt to do with the file.

If, however, you use IE6, and select to run a downloaded WEPM, it will not open automatically. This is a limitation of IE6, not of Window-Eyes.

I want to help her install the killwineyes script on her laptop. I downloaded the killwineyes and homersharedobject scripts onto my computer and sent them to her as attachments in an e-mail message. My friend saved the attachments. We went to the directory where she'd saved the attachments and pressed enter on the files. The computer then said it couldn't find how to open the program and asked if we wanted to use web services or a list of programs to open the program. Obviously, I'd done something wrong. Interestingly, yesterday I downloaded the whether script from script central, saved it into a directory on my computer and then pressed enter on the file -- it ran and installed. What did I do wrong? If I want to help a friend install a script, is the only way to do it to actually download it onto her computer from the gw website, then run the program? Thanks.
