Hi,
You can go to the Start menu and type MSCONFIG and press enter. There,
you can probably uncheck the box for starting Norton and restart your
computer. I don't use Norton, so can't guarantee that will keep it from
running, but at least, it is somewhere to begin.

Hi all. Well, I closed We, then started narrator, then started
norton. Norton was still locked up. I almost bet it's norton. As i
just told someone else, I may just get a sighted person to look at it.

Thanks. I may try it tomorrow. Have I have a thought. People have
suggested I disable Norton, my anti virus program before I uninstall
wind-eyes and re install window-eyes. Well, That's the problem, I
can't acces Norton. Norton will work in the background, but if I
open it up, it locks up. And it's not in any of the new windowes
files. Plus the other day, when it lockup I closed WE and started
narrator and was still locked up. I might try closing window-eyes,
then starting narrator, and after try starting norton and see what it
does. But still how do I disable Any ideas? Thanks again. Ori

*Subject:* WE 7.5 Upgrade v. Clean Install
Hi,
The question was recently posted wherein a user asked if a clean
install was better than an upgrade.
I downloaded and installed the 7.5 upgrade on my Windows 7 SP 1 32
bit WE 7.2 machine back on march 16 and found myself wishing I had
not done so. Not for any specific reason, just overall
sluggishness and poor response all around.
The CD arrived via Fedex this past Saturday. I put it in the desk
drawer and wondered if I could get a refund.
Well, this morning, after three consecutive wineyes.exe crashes, I
decided to completely uninstall and do the proverbial "clean
installation".
First odd thing I noticed was that during the uninstall my backup
screen reader announced Window Eyes 7.11 uninstall in progress.
As mentioned before, I had already done the 7.5 upgrade.
After completely uninstalling and a couple reboots "just to be
sure", I installed 7.5 from the CD.
The difference is quite remarkable. Everything working now the
way I would expect.
One odd note: After the 7.5 installation completed, including the
installation of default apps, the WE Quick start did not launch.
I went to the Apps menu and, finding no Apps in the list, opened
the App Manager, where I found every app stopped and marked as
untrusted. I tabbed to the Security button and checked the boxes
indicating I trusted the Apps and they all started working,
including the Quick Start App, which whisked me through the
settings covered by this handy little app. Then I went to
download my two favorite apps, Winamp and Hourly Chime and
received notices that these apps were not from trusted sources.
Of course I indicated that I did trust the sources and the two
apps installed and work quite well.
While this one case study is certainly not conclusive evidence
that a clean install is better than an upgrade, it sure worked for
me and made me glad I bought the upgrade.
Well, enough rambling. Time to get to work!
