Actually, it's usually there but seems to be missing. You know, it might
also be something with my comcast settings. I may want to check them and their
security stuff and see what is on here. I may also do that tomorrow. I just
very recently changed to them. In fact, less than a month ago. I didn't
think about that at first.

I've followed this thread and have one more thought. Look in the system tray
and see if Norton is there. Right click on it and see what options you have.
You may be able to temporarily disable it. Otherwise, I agree with others that
Norton does not have a good reputation for use with screen readers, and, I am
told, their tech support is not very helpful. I would suggest using another
program. Good luck.

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 very. 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!
