I can tell you that when internet explorer, windows explorer, or other similar apps have problems, or are not responding they tend to take window eyes with it for a short period of time. Once you close the offinding program, window eyes starts talking as if nothing was wrong. I have seen this time, and time again. This is why I keep NVDA aroud, so that when window eyes does go silent, I can load NVDA to figure out what is going on, and 9 times out of 10, it is because a program wasn't responding, and for what ever reason, window eyes gets effected by this.

A few minutes ago, I was writing a message in Outlook Express, and WE went silent for no reason I could figure. When I tried to get back to the WE Control Panel, Close WE, and Restart it, that didn't work. A few seconds after I did CTRL-ALT-W, I got that "ding" that happens if WE is already running. When I tried to use the Narrator in XP, it was worthless in getting me back to WE speech. Apparently WE was actually still running, but something broke down between WE and Eloquence. It is frustrating as new things come out, they seem to be getting more unstable and flaky. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reg Webb" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2013 3:54 PM Subject: 8.4 too ready to fall silent > Hi all > > I have to restart Window-Eyes quite a lot under Windows7 Home Premium. > I don't know if this is about Windows7 or 8.4, because I'm experiencing > them for the first time simultaneously. > Tab controls are a case in point.
