Hi. this is a good idea in theory, but when this happens, you pretty
much lose all use of the pc. an error dialogue saying that Window-eyes
is already running followed by a GW toolkit error dialogue pops up every
3 to 5 seconds or so. you can get into the menus to change the status
but before you can turn it off, another dialogue comes up and throws you
out of the dialogue. so it basicly becomes a race against time and it's
extremely frustrating.
I have no idea what causes this to happen but it absolutely does, i
heard it on the phone with my own ears.

I can absolutely confirm this...in fact, I was speaking to one of my
room mates along with Jesse as the craziness was taking place. Quite
literally every 2 seconds or so, an instance of Window-eyes would load,
there would be a gw toolkit error, wineyes reloads, gw toolkit error,
wineyes reloads, gw toolkit error...it was absolutely crazy! All toled I
think there were quite literally about 300 instances of Window-eyes
running in processes, and that's no exaggeration either. I'm amazed we
were able to get control of the pc, load NVDA and uninstall
Window-eyes. I'm very glad I wasn't the only one to experience it but
at the same time I feel bad that someone else had to go through all
that. I wonder what would cause such a thing to happen? I've seen gw
toolkit errors before, but after that happened the dialogue just went
away and no other instance of Window-eyes was started at all.
Weirdest damn thing I've seen in a while.

Hi there. Wow oh wow does that sound familiar. The only way to get it
completely removed was to use Revo Uninstaller with NVDA. It
happened just
as you called it on a friends laptop Tuesday and that was the final
answer.
As for how to report this error to the GW staff? Great question
since it
loops like a bad song in cue. But if its any consolation, your not
the only
one whose dealt with this nightmarish set-up.

I quoted the entire message above to the GW-info list so all can see.
I think, that disabling window eyes from within services in msconfig
should work. Heavens knows I have no other call at the moment and was
extremely fortunate I was able to corral the run away before it got
too much out of control. It took me probably ten reboots and on the
tenth I was able to seize control of my computer from the runaway
within gw-toolkit.
I saw it enough times to see that. I wonder if there is a command
line option to start without scripts, and if that command would
circumvent the problem long enough to prevent it happening so I can
either update the script or delete the script.

Subject: window-eyes going CRAZY
How to describe? When window-eyes comes up on my system, a
gw-toolkit error
pops up, window-eyes reloads, toolkit error, window-eyes reloads. . . .
It loaded about 83 times on my computer and the only way I could
find this
out was by using NVDA because window-eyes was too busy in a
continuous loop
of error reporting from within the toolkit script.
I, somehow, was able to unload it by using my external triple talk
synthesizer (which is backup), and while it loaded I was pressing
control-insert f4 frantically.
Now, I need to know how, to make sure window-eyes does not load
before I
attempt to re-boot my computer. Is it in services in msconfig on
windows 7
and can I stop it there?
Anyone else have this happen! I am hoping my CD with window-eyes
comes today
and I can uninstall window-eyes and / or repair, but looks like I
may need a
new install.
wish I knew the error and how to send the error report to GW-Micro
while
using in another screen reader program.
