Hi Tom, its shameful to find out that this would happen. This guy doesn't sound like a really good programmer to me he's even from Russia from what I hear.

And everyone blaming it on Window-Eyes is what drove me to decompile ReaAccess a couple years ago in order to find out exactly what the problem was. For some brain dead reason the so-called developer used the proper environment variables to access all screen-readers other than Window-Eyes and just hard coded the path, which has changed with Windows. And because he broke the mortal programmer's sin of error checking and didn't see if the Window-Eyes DLL he had called was instantiated ReaAccess blows up the first time it tries to call that non-existent DLL. No one can find the programmer or the code. So unless someone writes either a new version or a Window-Eyes replacement it will never work on anything beyond XP.
