Hello World.
Win XP sP3, all updates, latest Window-Eyes. Today, I received notice from Adobe that there was a Flash Player update available, so I struggled through installing it. By the way. Has anyone else noticed that only the shortcuts and not the entire button labels are spoken in that flash player installation dialog, or is this peculiar to my computer? Anyway. I managed to get the thing installed, and at the end, Flash player put up a message that Flash player doesn't play very well with some Real Player component or other, so I went into Add/ Remove Programs to make sure I don't have Real Player installed, which I don't. But here is where I discovered a problem. While in the XP Add/ Remove programs program list, I typically interrupt speech by down arrowing through the programs list at a moderate to rapid rate. Usually the first word of the installed program is enough to let me know where I am. Before speaking the name of each list item, WE was saying "blank." For example, "Blank, Microsoft Office Standard Edition." I was able to make WE stop saying blank before each Add/ Remove program list item by setting the "say blank" option in the Window-Eyes Screen> Other> Blank lines combo box to "Off" Before sending this message, I decided to put the blank lines feature back to "say blank," then I opened Add/ Remove programs and arrowed up and down the list slowly to see if the behavior was affected by the speed at which I pressed the up and down arrow keys. It was not. Lou N. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
