I am confused? I think you try to say that when you close window-eyes without restarting your computer and then start it up again it will give you the five minute mode? if this is so I do not do this. I turn off my computer or restart it. as soon as my license expired it went into the five minute mode. So when I had 0 days left and then I shut it down for the night, the next day when I opened my computer it only gave me five minutes. It never gave me 30 minutes no matter how many times I turned off or restarted my computer. could it be that my window-eyes is counting the log in screen as a start up?

Once you launch Window-Eyes for the first time after a fresh reboot you will get 30 minutes. After 30 minutes you will get the 5 minute warning and after that Window-Eyes basically shuts down. However, and this is what is causing the confusion, lets say you just reboot your machine and launch Window-Eyes and immediately shut it down. If you launch it again without rebooting (it doesn't matter how long you waited after restarting it the second time) then you will immediately be put into the 5 minute mode. This is by design. So it is the fact that Window-Eyes is being started twice that is causing the problem. Loading Window-Eyes at the log on screen shouldn't count as a first run. Hope this helps.

This is only the case that they have limited it to five minutes so if this is something wrong with our computers then forget the statement above. thanks From: Munawar Bijani Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 6:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Window-eyes and demo mode Shrug. All I know is I had that same thing happen to me and just dismissed it. It's been the behavior for as far back as I can remember. Munawar A.

I don't think the "demo" that LTO copies of W E reverts to is the same as the "demo" you can download from the site. LTO copies are more of a "restricted state" demo. As soon as you get another key though you'll be fine. In the meantime try downloading NVDA or another free screen reader. That's what I did until I could pay for another key. Munawar A.

Now my first question is how long is a demo version of window-eyes suppose to last? My only lasted 5 minutes whenever I restarted my computer. As soon as I log in window-eyes started to say "you have 5 minutes left." I thought that a demo was suppose to be 45 minutes or is this how it is for a long term plan? Hopefully somebody can help me. Thank you PS I have paid now so it is not a problem anymore but if I ever need to be on a demo version it would be nice to have 45 minutes instead of 5.
