Hi Duyahn, It's great Carol and Jacques thought of the obvious. Along those lines, someone wrote to remind me that your set files could be out of date (in this case, it would be the default set files, since they're used for the desktop). You can check them by going under the files menu, and choosing the "factory Settings". You can go down the list, and see what version they are currently shipping with WE, and what version you last installed. If it's different enough, well, you could consider updating the set file (it also would have solved this problem). Just something to keep in mind for future problems. Chip

If i were to go to the desktop, Window eyes starts reading everything on the desktop. Even hitting the control key doesn't shut the speech up. I am using Windows xp home on a Laptop. If I hit s for something as I said, that is fine. But it is slow to respond. I have tried this with three synthesizers. \ Duyahn Walker ----- Original Message ----- From: Chip <mailto:[email protected]> Orange To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2011 12:26 PM Subject: RE: typing interuption Hi Duyahn, If I understand what you're doing, this isn't happening to me with 7.5 and vista, so I wanted to ask what operating system and what version of WE you're using? I press windows-m to minimize everything, and I end up on my desktop. If I press S as you indicated, I move to the first icon which begins with S and it is said. If I press it again, I move to the second icon which begins with S, and so on. Is this what you're doing, but you're getting something completely different?

When I use Window eyes and try to type a certain key on the desktop, Window eyes is very sluggish in responding. For instance, if I type the letter S, for Skype Talking, I have to hear everything else that starts with that letter. That part is fine but, the fact that I can not interupt the speech is annoying. Even hitting the control key to silence the speech doesn't work either. I have had to unload Window eyes and try other screen readers to see if I am getting the same issues and I am not. I don't know if something in my settings is off or has gone crazy or what. Then I have noticed that Read to end is not working correctly as it should. If i open Notepad and start reading a document, Window eyes will stop half down the page and I have to issue the command again. I again, am not sure why this is going on. If anyone can help me off list so I don't bomb this wonderful list, let me know and I will give you contact information to contact me at. Oh, and one more thing. I am using Windows xp home on a Dell Lattitude 520. Duyahn Walker If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
