never-mind Bruce about my other email about having to have "display" set a certain way in app manager. I seem to remember that, but it's no longer the case, I just got it to prompt me for a file to load no matter how "display" was set. Chip

In fact when doing the Load App feature does not even work any more. I get nothing when using that hot key. All I can say is that it use to work, but not any more! Bruce Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2011 10:29 AM Subject: problems with app manager I am continuing to have problems with App Manager. Using WE 7.5 windows xp pro sp3 Try this and see what happens: 1. Open App manager 2. Choose load 3. Type in an app name-I used the working version of the example from Chip's class 10 Which I called PopUpText 4. The app loaded fine for me. 5. Choose unload and unload the app. 6. Choose load again and load the same app. When I did this, the app manager appeared to hang the speech and finally the app appeared to be loaded--but it was not in the list. When I loaded it a second time, it loaded properly again. Also, as I reported before, when trying to load an app from a folder within my default folder, either by typing the name or by using the dialog to navigate to the file, there is a long delay, and then window-eyes reports file not found. I did switch to Eloquence instead of DecTalk and this seems to help reducing some of the long speech blackouts, but I think that we really have gone backwards with WE 7.5 as far as the App Manager, and the instability of the DecTalk synthesizer interface.
