Hi Rick,
My quick fix is to use Alt-Shift-M to toggle the browse mode refresh to
Suspend Off and save this as the default setting globally, and since
this is typically a global setting it works for every html application.
I've been told countless times on this list that this isn't necessary,
but it is for me. This is because Window-Eyes hangs if web pages want
to load but they are being prevented from doing so.
Also, if you create a desktop shortcut with this in the command line,
you can kill IE if speech dies while using it:
%windir%\system32\taskkill.exe /f /im iexplore.exe
Assign it a shortcut so you can execute it blind. It works pretty well
to get you unstuck.
hth,
Rod

Hi: WindowEyes again just locked up during a BootUp.
This is a similar situation to when it locks up during some editing
which happens far less freequently but in both cases the symptoms seem
the same.
When I hard shut down the computer a message popped up saying
WindowEyes was not responding and I had to click a button to continue
the shutdown.
Since I had no keyboard access while WE was locking things up I
pressed the button on the computer and held it in until I forced it to
turn off.
Just a note, WindowEyes was not responding so it was locked up during
BootUp which does happen very often. I notice it happens after I have
been working in Outlook Express or using Internet to work on the web
but not when I have been working in a simple text editor like NotePad
or working in files and folders using the basic Windows Operating
system features.
So, perhaps this will help narrow down the problem since I get it very
often if I dont open and then close a Windows Folder or NotePad file
after working on the Internet or after working in Outlook Express and
then shut down the computer - it shuts down usually but will lock up
during the ReBoot.
Someone said there was a problem with WindowEyes and how it uses MSA
or UIA, I forget, which would seem to be a bugg but I run Windows XP
and IE8 so my system is so old I can have no gripes except it has
happened for over a year now and from some messages on list it looks
like it is still a problem with newer versions as well.
Perhaps a script or something can fix it, there are some pretty good
scripters on the scripting list.
