Hi Pete I am finding that this problem is more related to Outlook in my case. If WE stops talking I press control+shift+escape. This calls up the Windows Task Manager.
I follow this up with a shift+tab to get me on the tabs for each page. I then press left arrow a few times to make sure I am at the first tab. I do this because I never know what state it is in, since someone else may have been on my PC. Then I press the right arrow to get to the Processes tab. Note if you are certain that you are the only person using this PC, then Windows Task Manager will always start up on the last tab page you were on. I then press the letter O hoping that the Outlook process is the only one or at least the first one that starts with the letter O. You could always press OU I supposed. For Windows XP I will press the tab key twice, three times for Windows 7, and press the spacebar to end the process. For some reason the alt+E hot key doesn't always work. When I hear the ding that tells me the end process yes or no dialogue has come up. Now I press the letter Y. This often gets WE talking again. I have noticed this happens more with Outlook 2007 less with 2003 and 2010.

To all, To those that are willing to listen or care, I'm having a common problem that most of us face from time to time using our speech synthesizer window-eyes. The speech freezes for over tree-five minutes with no signs of resitation at all with only two avenues of help lots of the time. Either you could reboot to be independent or yu could attempt to have a friend, colleague or other stranger to help you turn widnow-eyes off to turn it back on. I've attempted the control backlash route just wondering if somebody has found a better way of resitation of their window-eyes package? Perhaps a backup screen reader in the meanwhile could do it just that I'd rather have another way without taking up needed space on my borrowed computer and that I don't think I could download anything on my borrowed device from the university. Thanks for all the ideas in advance for all the efforts of you guys. Its just rare to get anybody to answer to anybody on the list unlike the community that I knew like six to seven years ago when I first joined the listnder numerous other e-mail addresses. Thank you guys! sincerely, Pete If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
