Carol, I believe the 3-note sound you heard was an indication that a gpf error report was being created by window-eyes to be sent to GW.
Yes, I have high hopes of 7.5, especially where bug fixes and stability enhancements are concerned; and of course, you'll get to try before you buy as always.

I have registered several problems over the trial beta period. I am still having problems with Windows Explorer and/or Window-Eyes crashing. Today, I put a CD in my drive and tried to search for something. Speech stopped and I could not do anything. I tried using the program which closes Window-Eyes and that did not work. I Happened to be wearing headphones at the time, and noticed a little three-note sound just before the sound crashed. Actually, the crash was not total as I was playing a version of FreeCell which had its own speech and when I tabbed to that program, there was speech. The next step I took was to close all of the programs except the freeCell game. After there was nothing else open, I went to the desktop with the Windows-D key. Instead of getting the desktop, Window-Eyes started speaking. The windows which were open were Thunderbird, Windows Explorer and the FreeCell game. Sometimes, the speech will lock up the same way when I have the combination of Window-Eyes, Windows Explorer, Winamp and Thunderbird. I have had Windows Explorer messages saying that the program had stopped running several times since I installed the beta. This did not happen before the beta. It seems the problem always seems to involve Windows Explorer and Window-Eyes with some other program open, but the third program does not seem to be specific. I hope this message will give you an idea of what happens with the speech crash. I am running a Dell desktop with Windows Home Premium, 64-bit, with 6g of ram and I am using a SoundBlaster x fi streme sound card. Thanks for your consideration.
