Oh darn, think that's what I have done but having said that when I did
some screen shots Window-Eyes did indeed load. My setup was virtual
using Vmware Player 5 and it uses the Microsoft Sound Drivers for the on
board card. I used NVDA with the OCR add on to get the screenshots.

did you enable safe mode from the app list?
open apps then arrow down to windows enhanced to the pull down and
check run in safe mode.

the control alt w keys. then it loads.

Subject: Initial impressions of Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 under Windows 8
Very good from the brief time I played with it. I grabbed a copy of the
Enterprise 90-day trial, which anyone with a Microsoft Account can get
hold of at no charge. It is primarily aimed to give Windows 8 a test
drive to help you decide on whether to upgrade or not. I am not
personally, so will use it in a virtual environment to mess around with.
But yes, Window-Eyes 8.0 Beta 1 runs very well and is very responsive,
something we as Window-Eyes users expect. The only problem is, and I
think this is specific to my setup, in that audio support in safe mode
did not work even though I enabled it. Again this could be my specific
setup rather than a problem with the beta and or Windows 8.
But yes, very good and I look forward to playing with it some more.
If you wish to give Windows 8 a test drive, search for Windows 8
Evaluation.
Enjoy!
