Hi.
I was happily using Windows 7 until last Wednesday when my PC decided to have a motherboard meltdown. Today I got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 on it. I installed Window-Eyes 8.4 on it, and, for the most part, it's working well. I am, however, encountering an annoying problem. Window-Eyes isn't announcing when the UAC dialogue appears. As an example of the problem this caused, I was trying to install Winamp onto this PC. I did the initial configuration, and hit the Finish button. Window-Eyes then said Windows was saving settings, and the progress app kept repeating Progressing. I couldn't do anything with the PC, including ALT+TABbing to other windows. I ended up having to hit the power button and rebooting. Thankfully this didn't do any harm. I remembered how to change the UAC setting in Windows, and I set the level to 1. I then attempted to install Winamp, and I got the same result, but this time I heard a tone from the PC. I hit ALT+TAB, and this time Window-Eyes said a UAC dialogue was visible. I got to it, but Window-Eyes didn't say anything. I hit ALT+Y, and Winamp got installed almost immediately. My question is how do I get Window-Eyes to announce what's in the UAC dialogue? I'm currently doing things by guessing, and this could be dangerous. To the techs at AI Squared Indiana, if I don't see anything in my email, you'll hear from me tomorrow. Thanks in advance for any ideas. GO REDS! Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
