These are all great ideas.
The audio alert is obviously the startup sound Rod mentions. But I have to say Bruce, no one else is reporting anything like this on the gw-info list. Hopefully Rod's ideas will solve this; but if not, try using a system restore point, and if things go back to normal; I'd run a thorough virus scan, and then try the upgrade again. I noticed this morning my pc downloaded a bunch of windows updates, so this may also be a coincidence tied to the updates being applied at the same time.

Hi Bruce, There are now startup and shutdown sounds assigned in the Sounds entry for Window-Eyes in the control panel. As for slow performance, perhaps try shutting down and restarting Window-Eyes. This worked for me in Windows 7. I notice you are using Avast. Have you informed Avast about the new version of Window-Eyes. I used to use PC-Cillin, and it used to interfere when I did an upgrade of my screen reader until I told it about the upgrade. hth, Rod On 12/11/13 10:45 AM, LB wrote: I got upgrade 8.4 for Windoweyes and it has slowed down my notebook to a crawl and get an audio alert upon power-up but nothing happens. Once loaded everything slows down and Internet goes blank for long periods. I can not even use the alt F4 to see what is going on... What is going on?
