Hi David. I can comment on a couple of things you mentioned.
First, loved your narative. It was fun, even though your experience
wasn't. <grin.>
First, the catalyst control center. I don't have a Dell, but here's
what I did to get it out of my way. I ran MS-config by typing Windows
key plus R, typing msconfig and hitting enter. Then I got on to the
tab control and arrowed over to startup. Tabbing into the startup
group, I could then down-arrow to Catalyst control center and uncheck
it. Then tab to restart, hit enter and that should do it. If that's
what you did and it keeps coming back, I'd suspect that Dell has
something set to reconfigure at boot up.
And I've found that my new best friend in Windows 7 is a pair of
reboots. So, if I were you, I'd test this sequence out when
Window-eyes is running. I am only a single user so I don't log on and
off, just start up and shut down. But whenever I get really stuck,
I'm a bit chicken to enter the commands for shutting down Window-eyes
because without speech, I'm afraid I'll be hitting enter on something
that is working and do who knows what! <grin.> So, when in doubt, I
just hit start, tab, tab, then enter to shut down. I know that will
be the same no matter where I am. Then I reboot, of course.
But I tend to turn off all of the power stuff because I don't need it
on a desktop computer. So I haven't had experience with sleep or
hibernation. I've heard some people in the past say that if
Window-eyes is set to load before startup, it behaves better after
sleep, but you'd have to have it set that way for log on. Hmmm.
Hmmm. Maybe I'll sleep on it and see what comes to mind. <grin.>
I hope I've helped a little.
