Hi Andrew, I have a similar problem. I have a program, scottrade elite, which in windows 7 works well; however, in windows 8, I am having the same problem you are describing. WE8 stops speaking. The numpad gives you no sound, but if I move the mouse, than I can hear WE8 talking. If I close the elite program, WE8 only speaks by moving the mouse, because WE8 has become corrupt. Last night I was browsing through the accessibility folder in windows 8, and I came across checkmarks for disabling WE8 and the Java bridge. I enabled WE8 and the java bridge, and my elite program and WE8 were working well. Amazing! Today when I opened the elite the same thing happened again, no speech from WE8. When I went to check the settings for WE78 and java bridge in the accessibility folder, The WE8 and java bridge were not to be found in this folder. This is a mystery. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this problem?

Sometimes when launching IE, WE stops speaking. WE is still there, just not speaking. I would have to reboot the PC to get speech back. Because this situation was unacceptable, I installed JAWS 14 on the machine. I have noticed that when WE speech goes away, If I then launch JAWS, WE speech comes back. I can unload JAWS and go on using WE. I can’t figure out for the life of me why launching JAWS would bring back WE speech. > > > > Andy > > If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
