Hi Baracco, Well, then perhaps there's a basic issue with the technology which screen readers must use (such as MSAA, UIA, or just COM) in order to get info from Office programs. Microsoft then is the one who needs to do some work if that's the case, and I believe there's an email address where people can write to Microsoft (I think it's [email protected] but don't hold me to that).
I to have the general feeling that WE is not having any issues that aren't happening to all the screen readers which even attempt to give us lots of info from Office programs (some of the screen readers don't even try), but a person will never convince themselves unless they try the competition for a while and see how good they have it.

It takes Window-Eyes down with it. I am prepared to bet that if you go into task manager, then find the Outlook task and remove it with NVDA loaded, Window-Eyes will come back talking. This is not strictly a Window-Eyes problem, but I do agree that Window-Eyes doesn't handle it as gracefully as WE.

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.
