Jed, Even though I agree with Steve's like scenario, I have to say that I'm in outlook 2010 all day long at work; I never reboot, and this never happens to me.
I bet the difference is that I'm using 32-bit Windows, and I'm betting you're using 64-bit Windows Jed is that right? (I'm talking of Windows 7 or 8; if you're using XP then you should mention that as well, as using xp is its own issue). My intuitive feeling is that 64-bit Windows has more problems than 32-bit windows, largely due to its attempt to be compatible with all the 32-bit software out there. In any case, if you want to convince yourself and others that the problem is WE, you are going to have to use some other screen reader for a long period of time (a week perhaps) to decide if it's any better. Otherwise, since almost no one else is complaining of this, it's likely to be something about your pc. I know it's not all that helpful, but I had the same sort of issue until I finally got all the spyware (using multiple utilities) off of my pc.

I have no spyware, no viruses, and am running the latest window-eyes. I am quite frankly not happy at all. Window-eyes is very unstable. Let me tell you about some of the issues I'm having. Speech going silent for no reason. This morning as an example, I wa literally arrowing through my messages in outlook 2010. I pushed the up arrow button once, and window-eyes ust stopped talking. I went up and down, nothing. Then I minimized to the desktop and had no speech. I then had to start nvda which came up. At this point, I hit the hotkey for window-eyes and it said it was already running? How can it be running when there is no speech. This type of stuff is unacceptable. There has to be a legit reason why these things happen, and it is driving me crazy why I don't know what it is. Why would window-eyes just stop talking when I'm literally going through email. I deal with this stuff multiple times a day. The point of it is, you lose valuable productive time. Is anyone else experiencing this type of behavior? There has to be a reason for it. Is there any sort of log that windows keeps with everything that happens? Why would window-eyes still be running if there's no speech, it just doesn't add up. Please help guys, this is very annoying to say the least. Other issues I'm having. I'll be in a web page, browse mode will be on, and I'll arrow down and hear nothing. By pressing the tab key, now all of a sudden Ican arrow down. Why would I all of a sudden lose the ability? If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
