I do agree, the mouse feature of Window-Eyes, seems to be quite peculiar
sometimes. More than what you find in some other screen readers. And, I am
not sure, if any of the below suggestions would make a difference in your
particular case. They still might be of interest, to give a go, just in
case. Smile.
First of all, it quite often happens that another software pops up a message
of some kind on the screen. This message, might or might not be readable by
Window-Eyes. I, for one example, do have a certain screen popping up every
now and then, on my XP machine, that WE only reads as O, and nothing else
whatsoever. But this window pops up in the background, and long as it stays
open, the mouse will ding at me in numerous other applications, and tabbing
through screens that I well know, will produce different results from what
would be expected. The only way to solve the problem, without restart, is to
alt-tab through the list of open windows, till you get to this mysterious
pop-up window, and hit Alt-F4. Once the window is closed, my mouse and other
features, go back to normal activity. Since WE don't read other than the O
from that window, I have no clue what it is. All security and malware scans,
report the system to be clean, so my guess is, that this could be a kind of
updating reminder from some software on my machine. I do know, that the
Flash Updating window, is another window that tends to pop up in the
background, and won't let you play around with your mouse, even in other
software. So, my suggestion here, would be for you to alt-tab through the
list of open windows, and see if you have similar stuff going on.
Secondly, did you try checking the Ctrl-Shift-B, making sure your
mouse-boundaries are set to "Full Screen". Any other boundaries, might cause
trouble in your mouse review. They could have got messed up by accident, why
they all the sudden stopped working for you. Give it a check, if for no
other reason, just to have done so. Smile.
Lastly, could it be, that some kind of an app - or even combination of
simultaneously running software on your computer, could cause any conflicts.
Try to run the software in question, with no other software open on your
computer, or even with apps turned off in WE. Does the mouse behave
differently now?

Subject: Re: Constantly Dinging Mouse,
Hi Rod, Thanks for your reply.
I know what you are saying but it seems to be happening a lot more than it
used to. It has not happened in Casper before because I like to check on
the copying speed but yesterday this could not be done.
Also, if this was the case then unloading and reloading WE should have no
benifit but it sometimes does.

Hi Neville,
I'm guessing that there is no text for the mouse pointer to find to read,
so that the mouse pointer reaches the bottom of the window quickly,
and then goes ding because it reached the window edge.
That's what usually happends when a mouse boundary is reached.
hth,
Rod

Using W7 HP 32 and latest WE
I also have a problem examining the screen using the mouse keys
because, a line or so down from the top,the mouse just dings. This is
not just when using IE 10 but can happen in any programme. e.g.
Yesterday, when backing up the hdd with Casper, I was unable to get
any info from the screen using the mouse keys because of the dinging.
Some progress info could be gained by pressing the tab key or turning
on the "speak all" command with insert a. Pressing numpad 5 a few
times had no affect at all.
This problem has been around for the past couple of versions of WE and
seems to be becoming more frequent. Sometines, unloading WE and then
reloading seems to work but not always.
