The only problems with incompatible software which I've seen regularly mentioned, is that Macafee anti-virus is often brought up as the source of problems on new pcs; it's both a problem source itself, and they seem to get themselves included very frequently in new pc packages in a trial mode.
I've been told that you will need a sighted person to get them uninstalled, as they've added a captcha to their uninstaller.

This week our Zoomtext stopped working, too. Is Microsoft still providing WindowEyes for free? The other thing that has been happening is problems with our TypeWell software that we use for captioning classes for students who are deaf who don't do sign language. We got all new Dell laptops for that and they keep freezing up and won't run the TypeWell software. The techs at PSCC say that Microsoft has some new malware-preventing program installed on new computers that may be interfering with the TypeWell software. If PSCC installed new computers in the open labs and classrooms that have this malware prevention on them, do you think that could be interfering with WindowEyes or ZoomText on the PSCC network? I was wondering if you are on any list-servs or other online forums that have mentioned issues with this kind of stuff on new Dells or other Microsoft software users. Thanks.

When I have ran window eyes on the computers in the labs, and the computer we have, I have seen no problems, except with word on the computer we currently use. The technitions in there e-mail did not have a detailed description of the problems, except to say that it is not working. Judging by the email, it sounds to me like the case of blame it on the screen reader. There should in theory. be anything wrong with window-eyes and any of the computers it is installed on. I would like to know more aobut there problems however.

Subject: Window Eyes software problems Alice, We are having numerous reports of conflict with the Windows Eyes software and our standard load. Unfortunately we will need to remove from our instructor stations, and probably various other labs. I will keep you updated, but please do not expect to see this as part of our standard software load. The actual conflict has not been determined, except that when we remove the package, all other software works great. Lois Lois C.
