But NVDA still has lousy mouse support. Window eyes still shines in that area,
or at least it does in win7 and xp; can't speak for windows 8 as I have not
tried it yet.

Subject: Re: fed up with lockups
I am experiencing the same frustrating issue and I find myself using the free
opposition more and more. Already on my laptop I am only using the free
opposition. In fact, it is only the Window-Eyes apps that act as golden
handcuffs tying me to Window-Eyes, otherwise I would have moved over to the
free opposition some time ago already. As more and more addons become available
for the free opposition, I can see that happening in the not too distant
future, unless Window-Eyes becomes substantially more stable. Honestly, they
can no longer make the claim of "rock solid stability".
I have been a loyal Window-Eyes user ever since it saw the light of day in
the early '90s, but I am more than casually looking at alternatives now.
I have yet to see the free opposition crash or lose speech. That is what I
would call "rock solid stability".
But the first prize would be that Window-Eyes becomes the good, reliable
program it used to be.
Kind regards
Christo

I've noticed that more and more Windoweyes seems to be locking up in
various programs. I'll either alt-tab too quickly away from a screen or for no
identifiable reason, WE using Windows-7 locks up and the only way to get it
back is to turn off my computer. Perhaps it's the complexity of Windows-7, but
I don't rmemeber this behavior being nearly as frequent under XP.
I'm fed up and about ready to go to "the dark side" to see if that
program is any better.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
