OK, thanks. Two questions.
First of all, why not have this shortcut implemented in the Window-Eyes Control Panel. That is where I was searching, and my guess is that most people would start there, not find it, and get confused. Secondly, if it is the way you tell, that each Java version has its own private folder, why not let WE - upon startup - check to see if the bridge is installed in all the available Java subfolders. That way, at least every restart of the screen reader, would ensure the bridge being installed in the updated Java. Should be unnecessary for the user to perform this kind of manual extra installation, as far as I see it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Smith To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 7:40 PM Subject: Re: WE and Java update Hi, David. Any time you update Java, you're required to re-install the Java Access Bridge. This is because the Access Bridge files are installed into the Java directory, and each version of Java has its own directory. The documentation states, "Should you need to install the Java Access Bridge at a later time, you can manually run the "Install Java Access Bridge" shortcut in the Window-Eyes Advanced Options Start Menu program group." So once you do that, your Java programs should start speaking again. Just know that, if you update Java in the future, you'll have to perform the same steps to install the Java Access Bridge for that version.

After installation, the java-based screens I am using worked. Recently, I was informed of an update to Java. I ran the updater, and java is now reported to be version 7.25.something. Problem is, that ever since the update, WE no longer speaks in the Java screens. What am I to do, to get back my Java support in WE8.2? -- Aaron Smith Web Development * App Development * Product Support Specialist GW Micro, Inc. * 725 Airport North Office Park, Fort Wayne, IN 46825 260-489-3671 * gwmicro.com To insure that you receive proper support, please include all past correspondence (where applicable), and any relevant information pertinent to your situation when submitting a problem report to the GW Micro Technical Support Team.
