Greetings to everyone, I am still using Windows XP Pro with SP3 and Window_Eyes 7.5 and notice a p= rompting for message when I disconnect my headphones and replace them with = my speakers. This is annoying enough, but it seems that the realTech HD ca= rd gives me no information whatsoever when I tab around for any pertinent i= nformation such as checkboxes, combo-boxes, list views, etc. in order to mo= dify this behavior. Every time I hit the tab I only receive a "custom contr= ol" voice response. Well, what is that custom control prompting me to do? = Activating such a control without first knowing its function can have some = rather unpleasant effects. For example, I once inadvertently changed the s= ounds settings language from English to French. This caused me to speak so= me fluent French, though I am not particularly fluent in French. I wish t= here were a relatively simple solution to this problem! Regards - -- Pat Acquaviva
