You can temporarily disable it, but when you reboot it will come back.

Clean Install 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: sandra fouts <mailto:[email protected]> To: Donald E.

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 From: Donald E.

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! Donald E.
