Hi all.
Same here. Upgraded from 7.11 to 7.5 on both laptop and netbook and went
without a hitch.
Take care.

Hi Donald:
I do not disagree that a clean install of Window-eyes is sometimes the
best alternative, such as in your case and, probably some others on
this list, but I would like to add that I have installed the upgrade
from 7.2 to 7.5 on three computers and all the installations have gone
well and none of those computers have experienced accessive
sluggishness or other problems since the upgrade. What I am trying to
say is that you don't alwas have to rush in to doing a clean install
when you get your cd.

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!
