This is just kind of a side comment, but it seems to me that I read
once that Window-Eyes works better if you have your screen saver set
to "none". I also heard from an I.T. person that screen savers are
now not necessary. (I realize they might be attractive to sighted
persons, however.)

This might be just a speculation on my part, but is it possible
that some of these fansy apps we use as add-ons cause Window Eyes
itself to become unstable? The selling point always has been "rock
solid performance", however I'll point out a couple situations
where it hasn't been.
The first of course is my experiences with the web, I won't get
in to that here. The second was a couple times yesterday, I'd had
some audio playing with my favorite player (Winamp Pro), and in
that situation, the screen saver came on while it was
playing. When I tried to take the system off the screen saver and
use the computer, I had no speech. On an inspiration I removed the
app for Winamp which I'd installed. While being extremely well
done and making Winamp very nice to use, for the main features of
Winamp it isn't strictly necessary, and I haven't had a problem
since, though it hasn't been that long so it probably isn't fair to
assume that the Winamp app was the problem.
Complicated apps I could see potentially might cause sluggishness in
Window Eyes especially if those apps are forcing it to try to pull
something off the screen Etc. Would a third party app like say
Winamps app cause problems with browsing the web? Am I on the right
track here?
