Well, in my case, I'm using Vista Home Premium and Windows Mail. In the last
several versions of WE, I have to go into edit mode to compose messages in
it. If I alt-tab away from the program for whatever reason in the middle of
a message, then return, I have to go back into edit mode and find my place
in the message before I can continue to write. Also, if I select multiple
words or sentences in a message and try to delete them, WE freezes up and I
usually have to reboot the computer to get it back. Sometimes We returns if
I wait a few minutes, sometimes not. I never had any of this trouble with
version 7.2. My email worked perfectly. I was slow to upgrade from 7.2, so
when I finally did, I went directly from version 7.2 to version 7.5.4.1. So
I can't say if the trouble would have started at 7.5 or not, but I suspect
that it would have if I had stopped there, since that is when some major
changes were introduced. I was told that this issue was fixed with version
8.0, but I am still having the problem with 8.2. I called GW about this back
at 8.0 and was asked to send in a diagnostic, which I did, back in December
or January. Not sure exactly just now, but it's been several months at
least. Never heard anything back. Since I use my email program every day,
this is a pretty major annoyance. And since I do use it every day, every day
I wish I had just left my computer alone when it was working fine.
So there is a concrete example for you.

Hi,
If you are having trouble with 8.2, it is my opinion that it can be
configured to operate the way previous versions worked. I have seen some
keyboard reassignments, but have not seen fundamental changes in its
ability to access Windows software. If I'm wrong, let's have some
concrete examples.
Cordially,
Rod

I would also agree that I had very little trouble with version 7.2, much
less than I do now. Any way to go back to it from 8.2? I've got the LTO
executable of 7.2 here, but I've paid it off since then, so I don't have
the straight non-LTO version. Is there any way to revert to 7.2?

I have to agree, version 7.2 was honestly the best! version of WE to
date.
Nothing can top that one!
It just, well, worked!
Honestly, Firefox 3.6.28, is still the best with WE, least for me.
Not saying that it doesn't work with the latest versions, but there's
just many things it worked better with back in the day.

Hi Sandra:
I think you might be better off waiting for Window-Eyes to get cleaned
up
some more before upgrading at work. I work for myself and, because I
submit
claims via a state web portal for adjudication, I can't use FireFox
either.
Fortunately for me though, I run three versions of Window-Eyes at
work--7.2,
7.5.4.1 and 8.2. The first two are on two separate computers in my
back
office. I swear that Window-Eyes 7.2 boots up a lot faster than the
other
two incarnations. It is what I use in my back office 99% of the time.
And
since I am still running Windows XP Professional Service Pak3, I use
Internet Explorer 8. I am in fact thinking of downgrading it to
Internet
Explorer 7.
At home on a Windows7 Professional laptop computer running Internet
Explorer
10, the story is NOT A PRETTY ONE with Window-Eyes 8.2. I now plan to
install NVDA on this machine and try to give it a test drive. I've not
renewed the SMA for Window-Eyes for the reasons everyone seems to be
grappling with. May be when we get to Version 10xxxxx--and I want to
avoid
HAVING TO PAY for CUMULATIVE UPGRADES--Window-Eyes will become what it
was
several moons back.
Sincerely,
Olusegun
