A similar scheme can be implemented to kill wineyes.exe and restart it. Not sure if that’s wise or not, GW Micro support will have to chime in. If they say its OK I will create those command line commands and respond here.

Put this into a file and name it restart.bat (or any name, as long as the extension is .bat): shutdown -r -f -t 10 This command does a forced restart after 10 seconds. I say forced, that means it won’t stop for any program that thinks you need to save your work, etc. It will just do it. Doesn’t matter where on your computer you put the bat file. Then create a shortcut to the desktop to this bat file. Then on the desktop, right click on it, select Properties. In the shortcut dialog box, define a hot key for this, such as Control Alt Shift R. To do this you simply press the combination you want and the key definition will get inserted into this field. Select OK. From then on that hot key you defined will cause the machine to reboot. You can also create one that will just shut down, without restart. The slightly altered command would be: shutdown -s -f -t 10 Hope that helps.

Arrowing around reveals nothing. I have to get out of the message and start a new one all over. This happens on a random basis and can be frustrating. Likewise here. Sometimes I can’t do anything. Trying to close out things to reboot without WE talking sometimes is impossible. I have to get my sighted wife to do it with a mouse. She says that the computer says that 1 or more programs are open and must close before the computer can be turned off. No amount of guessing, F4, Alt tabbing won’t close whatever programs are still open. So she has to do it. If someone using WE 7.5.4.1 and WLM does not have a sighted person around to bail them out, what do they do? Is there some sort of app that will shut everything down and close the computer? --Bob Ringwald If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
