I am running Win7 Hp with all updates and 64-bit. I am also running
WE7.2 and still have problems. Sometimes, it is not WE at all. When
WE stops speaking sometimes, I can not get any sound at all. There is
no type of sound that I can access. The only way I can get things back
is to close programs one at a time until I get the sound back and then,
I can open WE again.
I have NVDA and Narrator to use as a backup when I get stuck in WE, but
on those times, I have no speech at all and no Windows sounds.
Therefore, I have concluded that it is not specifically a WE problem.
Sometimes, I do have to resort to rebooting.

I'm sorry to tell you, but I have done he exact same thing putting
updates to never check and the loss of speech is definitely a problem
even minus the updates checking. If GW is going to claim to have a
rock solid screen reader, they need to fix that issue in windows 7
wich is more than minor and unusual for sure. The issue pretty much
equals unreliable.

Hi,
Since upgrading from XP to Win7 I too have been frustrated by sudden and
seemingly unrecoverable (save of course, the restart) speech loss. , and
since I am usually working and running Outlook, Word and/or Excel, I was
inclined to think the solution rested on upgrading Office '03 to '10.
Quite by accident really, I found that this speech loss was occurring
precisely when Windows would start the checking for and downloading of
automatic updates. I have my Windows Update to auto download but let me
choose when to install. I have changed my Windows Update setting to Never
Check (I will of course do so manually when it's clean up time, and have had
no speech loss since.
And naturally, , now that I've written that, the damn thing will probably go
up in smoke! Grin.

Subject: WE7.2 on windows 7 64 bit machine and loss of speech.
I know other folks have talked about this before.
I have been losing speech usually when I am in outlook. It has happened
once a day for the past several days. I try several things including
reinitializing window eyes, shutting down window eyes, try redrawing the
screen and then when I have no success with that, I reboot the computer. I
went to reboot today, and it started speaking again but then shortly after
stopped speaking and I needed to reboot.
I am not sure why this is happening and am wondering if others have had
success in dealing with this issue without rebooting?
Please do tell!
