Hi Carol and Everyone,
I've had similar problems with Window-Eyes crashing, but something
happened this morning that was very unusual.
My computer rebooted not once, but twice. lol.
The second time, I was sitting here minding my own business, in
Eudora, and I wasn't even facing the keyboard. Vernon and I were
having a cup of coffee here at my desk. As I was facing away from my
computer, I heard my computer reboot. lol.
I scanned my computer, no virus's, just a cookie. I don't know what
kind of cookie it was, either. It could have been a ginger snap. lol.
Aren't computers loving! <grin> lol.
But, in all fairness to the loving GW Micro, this silly Windows
Explorer with Windows Seven is really a Microsoft problem, and I was
hoping they fixed it in the service pack 1, but I'm not sure about that.
Carol, you didn't say what version of Windows you were running. <smile>
I assume you are running Windows Seven 64 BIT. <smile>
I will run a deeper scan tonight. I run a deep scan three times a
week, and a quick scan every day. <smile>
Blessings,
Pat Ferguson

I am curious as to whether there are going to be any changes with
the final 7.5 with regard to the way it works with Windows
Explorer. 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.
Carol
