Just so you know MSAA strings can be and generally are localized in
different languages.

Do you have a Turkish version of both Window-Eyes and Windows itself?
When you arrow up and down in Device Manager, do you hear the device
names spoken as normal? I thought one time you said that you did
not hear anything.
I am going to call tech support on Monday and ask them about this.

Vik,
Yes i use XP-SP2
Please note that the first version (0.3) was working and producing
status information of devices under Turkish version of Windows
XP-SP2. The problem i have described was valid for further versions.
When i go into Device manager and press Alt-Windows-D, i cannot get
any response from Window-Eyes. However, Alt-Windows-E works as it should.
Again, the first version (0.3) was giving status information.

Now that I have the script finished, I will look into this. Do you
know what needs to be done to localize it in Turkish? I will have to
find that part of the manual.
I don't understand why the script does not work, though. It seems
the VBScript code should work the same in whatever language. I
wonder if MSAA information could be different in non-English
versions of Windows. You are running Windows XP, right?
What happens if you go into Device Manager and press
Alt-Windows-D? Does it do or say anything?
It might take a while, but we will work this out.

Vic,
Although the function associated with Windows-Alt-E is working fine,
i'm not able to get status information of any device under Turkish
version of Windows XP-SP-2.
If it is possible to fix this issue, i am willing to localize the script.

Hello all,
I just posted Device Status 1.0. This script reads the status of
devices in Device Manager. Below is the change log.
Changes in Device Status 1.0:
The script now works with Vista although differently than XP as
described below.
Under XP pressing Alt-Windows-D will bring up a list of any devices
that are disabled or not working. Arrow to a device and press enter
and you will be focused on that device in Device Manager. Press
Escape or the Cancel button and you will exit the dialog.
Under Vista pressing Alt-Windows-D will focus the first branch in
the Device Manager tree that is expanded. When a branch has a
device that is not working properly, that branch is expanded when
you first open Device Manager. You then have to investigate that
branch to find the problem.
Under both operating systems you are informed if there are no bad devices.
I also added the Alt-Windows-E shortcut to open a new message in
your default mail program already addressed to me. I would like to
hear how people like the script and if it does not work as advertised
I hope someone gets some use out of this script. enjoy!
Vic
