I had the same problem, but I no longer have this problem since doing the following: ran task manager right click on wineyes.exe and press p and entered on hi bypassed the warning and hit OK or continue. Now when my program is busy working, WE8 is reading normally without hesitation, which is how it should be, since I have a quad core, and I have not had a WE8 freeze. I still have the occasional WE8 not behaving properly. Like when I opened this email after updating WE8, it would not read the email. I just logged off my computer, and when I returned WE8 was reading correctly. Please note: I believe this applies only for multi core computers, but not trying is guaranteed failure. .. You must be logged in as administrator. If you find the you can not change the priority, try After you open the Task Manager, click Show Processes from all users and set your user name to Administrator.
Now the problem with this solution is that you need to change the priority every time you reboot your computer. I found a free program, Prio, which saves your priority setting, so you need to set the priority only once. Please Note that you need to use either the 32 bit or 64 bit version based on your operating system. Here is the link for the 32 bit Prio from download.com: http://dw.com.com/redir?edId=3&siteId=4&oId=3000-2094_4-10455293&ontId=2094_4&spi=8d3be099bcb1b86b50a0490b07e2c0b3&lop=link&tag=tdw_dltext<ype=dl_dlnow&pid=11647907&mfgId=83883&merId=83883&pguid=UQWDNgoOYJAAAAsY4QkAAABp&ttag=dl_dldirect&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.cnet.com%2F3001-2094_4-10455293.html%3Fspi%3D8d3be099bcb1b86b50a0490b07e2c0b3%26dlm%3D0 here is the 64 bit prio download: http://download.cnet.com/Prio-64-bit/3001-2094_4-75324358.html?spi=fecc3e9ee2babc8803083993887dfd1f&dlm=0 Don't forget that you need to reboot your computer after installing Prio.Manny If this solution works for you, please post to give gwmicro feedback. For those of you having trouble changing the priority, here is net bat's post: one problem with window eyes is if you are logged in as a standard user and make these changes it will switch to the administrator. so when you make these changes you are making the changes to window eyes in administrator not the standard user settings each user account has its own w e settings. that program you linked to does add options to the priority list so you can save your changes that were not there before. anyway. with windows 7 you have to open the task manager. to processes. when you get to wineyes you have to tab to show all users and press enter on it. go back to wineyes and back to show all users again. this time there is a check box. check this. then back tab to wineyes and open the context menu on it and change it to hi priority. then click OK. then it should be excepted.

I’ve noticed that if I switch between programs, or try to perform an action too quickly, Windoweyes locks up along with my computer. I have to do a hard shutdown and reboot. Is anyone experiencing this problem and does anyone know how I can solve it? Also, I notice that if I try arrowing down in a message in Outlook-2007 too quickly after I open the message, for some reason the text does not appear on the screen; I get a blank screen. John Riehl
