dinging mouse
Hi, Please ignore my message, a copy of which appears below,because the mouse keys are now working correctly. Once a week I bak up my system so just replaced the existing WE default folder and problem gone. A setting of some sort must have been changed some how but thanks to the back up, a problem no longer. Neville. Using: Latest WE, W7 HP 32 bit, When an attempt is made to go down the screen with the mouse keys it only dings although the arrow keys work as normal. This behaviour happens on the Desktop, in Thunderbird and it seems, everywhere else. This behaviour has only started in the past couple of days. The mouse boundry is set to active window but all boundaries give the same result. The correct set file is loaded and associated. The screen is maximized. All apps were turned off for a while but no difference there either. I am wondering if it is the keyboard layout command but can not find the command to invoke or disable it. Has anyone got any ideas on what else can be tried? This is driving me nuts.

tricks when losing focus in a program
One of the things I do when a program loses focus is make sure my Window is maximized using alt-X followed by the spacebar. I also use the command to redraw the screen insert-backslash. Those of you losing focus with email clients may perhaps find these tricks useful.

RE: Is WindowEyes Causing All Internet And Other Crashes?
Hi Neville, As you no doubt recall, you and I discussed the issue of the default Table header setting being to read colum and row headers. While I can certainly confirm that this setting is the default, on reflection I think it was an attempt by the developer to give a consistent starting-point for table navigation. Wile, at first, I found this setting to be a nuisance, (especially given the fact that it bothered me that perhaps something serious was wrong), over the last month or so I have come to appreciate that it may indeed be a stroke of genious on the part of the developer. This is because at least it gives the user a lot of information which might be helpful as they encounter new tables whose structure they do not know yet. I'm learning to see the good intentions of software developers. "They need to create somewhat safe initial settings for their software, especially given that not all, if not few, users are savvy Besides, it only takes a few presses of Control-Shift-H to rotor to the setting you like.

I am having an issue with not being able to permantly stop table column and row headers being read although they are turned off in the WE control panel. This bug has been reported and catelogued for a fix in a future version but that may not be for quite some months. I wish they would bring back the testing period prior to the final release.

some WE issues are better
Hi, I just did another emergency removal of WE a few hours ago. This time while re-installing WE, when it got to the Java access bridge I got a message that I’ve not gotten before, “no valid java installed” it told me to go to Orcale and install Java and then re-install the access bridge. I haven’t done this and Mark S. suggested that I not do so unless I really needed Java for a program. Well anyway, things seem much better now. ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

RE: Is WindowEyes Causing All Internet And Other Crashes?
Hi Tony, Please take this in the spirit in which it is intended, that is, to help you have a more pleasant email reading and writing experience. I have found the need to move first from WLM to Thunderbird and then from Thunderbird to Outlook. The need to do this was the result of finding it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to experience reliable cursor tracking. Since moving to Outlook a couple of years ago, I have not had any cursor tracking problems. In short, I've had to care for my problem myself, rather than wait for AI Squared to solve it. I would like to suggest that you move to another email client, and, again, I intend this in order to help you. Three years is much too long, in my opinion, to force yourself to put up with these problems. As I've said to others, I believe we have the best chance to have an accessible email client if we use Outlook, as it is part of the Office suite, a widely-used Microsoft product.

Well, Guys, again I got one or two emails from Chris at Ai Squared and when his first two questions and answers didn't fix the problem, I haven't heard another word from them. II t's been 2 days now since I replied to the last message and have gotten not even a "kis our foot" for a reply. How could they possibally fix anything if they ask two questions, give the same two ideas and if that don't work they just ignore your reply and move on to something else?

Hello Rick, No, you are not imagining problems in WE 9.X. A I Squared seems to be annoyingly silent about solutions or even recognizing there are those, for what ever reasons, WE 9.X just does not work reliably. By now, I would think Tech Support would have loads of notes about the configuration of systems that are having problems. I would think they could start noticing patterns and recognize equipment that either needs to be updated, or switched out for something else. I believe WE 9 has issues with memory. On my system, if I left the system stay idle for two three hours, and then start using it, it is a matter of minutes before I get a lock up, Speech goes quiet, or an outright Freeze of the system. All requiring a total shut down and re-start. Rarely does using the short cut key to re-start WE 9, work. I do not wish to buy JAWS, or even entertain going over to JAWS. I like WE and have used it for years. I wish A I Squared was a bit more up front with their customers, but remaining quiet, which gives the impression they are ignoring problems, seems to be their way of communicating with customers.Ignoring problems is not a smart way to run a business, and if done long enough, the problems do not go away, but the customers do. Even if A I Squared would say, Yes, we have a problem on some systems. We are not sure just why some have issues and others do not, but we are working on finding a solution.even something like this would at least keep me from pulling my hair out, thinking that the problem could be my system, or something in it that is causing issues. Honesty goes a long way in keeping my loyalty. Silence on the other hand makes me feel as if I am ignored. I keep thinking if I had more memeory, that just maybe WE 9 would work a bit better. Any here with 16 GB of RAM having problems with WE locking up, or Speech going away?

Something To Try For IE Lockups
Hi: I sent a complete message about 2:00 this afternoon but I havent seen it hit the list so: If you are familiar with IE Tools and settings try and report the results: Open Internet Explorer Browser; Under the Tools menu click Internet Options then highlight the Advanced tab and put a checkmark in front of "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering and click ok. I did this and tried Internet explorer and it crashed again but this time the (atiumdva.dll) Was the culprit. I ReBooted and tried again and on one webpage I did a read to end on a article and mid article I heard windowEyes stop for a second, about of 1 second of what sounded like music or an add and then WindowEyes continued reading the article like nothing happened. After that I went through several pages and articles with no more crashes and WindowEyes seems to be reading much faster and responsive now. I dont know if this is a fix or not but if you know what I am talking about try it out and post up if it fixes your problems.

It may indicate WindowEyes processing a message or something like being in the wrong script or something if it happens so it was unusual, happened and we need to see if it is happening often enough to be in consideration when thinking about internet explorer, focus and intermittant problems we are encountering.

Re: Is WindowEyes Causing All Internet And Other Crashes?
never have this happen with jaws or nvda. nothing happens like this the crashs always acure with window eyes. On 2/18/2016 3:04 AM, Rick Thomas via Talk wrote: Reading the postings it seems that this problem is not unique to WindowEyes but is perhaps worse in WindowEyes. There are indications that it happens most often in Internet Explorer or, at least, is most identifyable in InternetExplorer with the dialog that InternetExplorer says the program is not responding (same dialog when JAWS locked up in Internet Explorer) but WindowEyes will not usually notify you the problem has occurred and just locks up - this should be fixed by AISquared so we can be notified and close the offending program. Note that it is likely not Internet Explorer lockinng up but some program being called or used by Internet Explorer like one that might display an ad or flash or something because closing the program that is not responding does not close Internet Explorer but after closing the program not responding you are still in Internet Explorer and can continue working in that program. Some have noticed better results when not using background processes like the automagic update of synced programs like cloud related programs, note that OneNote and other things that come with our Operating Systems also can be using these types of features by default. Also, there allot of Live Tiles that will access the internet automagically and send or gather information from external online web pages and, or, web services which is akin to using a cloud service in that both have to access something on the internet and thus prone to internet transmission and many other problems. Even programs that you would think wouldn't access the internet from your desktop might be doing something online behind the scenes so this is one possible avenue but tonarrow things down we can do a few things. First, you folks who use Mazilla and Chrome for your browsers, have you noticed any lockups at all using WindowEyes? Second, the next time I get a Internet Explorer lockup I will try and hit the Debug button instead of the close button to see what I can find out about the error like what program(s) are related to it if the error will give me that much detail. I forget the WindowEyes hot key to copy a MessageBox which is usually not able to be read with the normal arrow keys, anyone remember it off the top of your head?

Wouldn't it be nice for the Ai Squared staff to chime in on this topic. They could outline for us what issues that WE has with IE, whether the cloud is a issue and so on. In the past the staff always says it is a issue with IE and not WE but a better explaination sure would be nice. We waited for years for a browse mode update and things do work better but as we have seen there are still issues. ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

Re: Is WindowEyes Causing All Internet And Other Crashes?
Note also, that JAWS 17 added a feature to automatically restart itself if it can’t talk to the window that has focus for 5 seconds. This essentially solves the lockup problem for JAWS, at the expense of a 5 second hang and any non saved options being lost. I expect we could probably write an App that does essentially the same thing, perhaps with an little extra nudge from an outside program. UNIX developers have often build in auto restart service functionality.

Re: Anyone Using Ad Blockers?
I am using adblock Plus with Internet Explorer. I do sometimes get lockups. But not often, perhaps once or twice a week. The lockups seem to happen on sites with dynamic content and, strangely, on the BARD site. I am using Window-eyes 8.4 on an old XP machine with 4 GB of memory and IE 8. Yes, I know it is old but it isn't giving me trouble. And yes, I know it is less secure than later versions of IE. So we can skip that part of the discussion for now.

RE: Is WindowEyes Causing All Internet And Other Crashes?
Hi: Yes, I had allot of focus problems due to that popup. This is one reason I am still concerned that WindowEyes is not handling them properly and there are likely others happening. Often I would hear "give us feedback" even after turning this off in the Windows10 settings, think it was "send us feedback" before I turned it off. Now when I switch pages or open a new program I will hear "Clear" or "clear button" meaning something else is popping up that I cant find after I hear it read using any of the WindowEyes keys so far. There a lot of moving parts to Windows and how the screen reader handles them can be a problem for focus, insert position and the relationship between them me thinks. That message is one thing that pushed me over the edge and convinced me to upgrade to Windows10 but I am not sure that just turning that message off, some folks had figured out a way to do it, I would have been happier with Windows8.1 or whatever it was. Anyway, there should be a way to turn off that popup and perhaps someone will RePost the solution.

Re: Is WindowEyes Causing All Internet And Other Crashes?
An unrelated note, you may remember last week I posted that WE was jumping around a lot, especially in websites, and occasionally while reading e-mails in browse mode. As suddenly as that began, it stopped. This barely happens now. Occasionally, We will lose focus while I am reading a lengthy e-mail, but I think a lot of that has to do with the Get Windows 10 message. On 2/18/2016 4:56 AM, Rick Thomas wrote: A side note, anyone else? I was just in internet explorer in the website where I get allot of lockups. I got none but it is about 4:30 am so likely little net traffic here and not allot of dynamic, flash and other ads being scheduled since they don't want to waste money with ads when few people are online in this area. Now, when I closed internet explorer and returned to my desktop program I heard a ca ching and WindowEyes said there was no information bar, think it was information bar and then I was placed into my desktop program as usual. I used alt-f4 to close internet explorer so this message should not have happened unless WindowEyes was confused about something and so I thought I would see if others have heard this or something similar. It may indicate WindowEyes processing a message or something like being in the wrong script or something if it happens so it was unusual, happened and we need to see if it is happening often enough to be in consideration when thinking about internet explorer, focus and intermittant problems we are encountering. But if others are not having these types of problems we might not need to include them in looking at the problem at hand - don't know but it was an incorrect response by WindowEyes to a simple alt-f4 to close internet explorer.

John, The cloud is just a generic term for any off-site server you use to backup and store data, either just for yourself or for sharing. iCloud, Amazon, One drive, Google drive, Dropbox, SendSpace, and so on are all the same thing. The only difference with iCloud and Amazon is that my iPhone can automatically backup to iCloud every time it's plugged in and all Amazon MP3 purchases are automatically put on their cloud servers. They all have free stub services designed to suck you into purchasing more space once you fill them up.

Re: Jarte and PDF?
David, You're not missing anything. Jarte is nothing more than Microsoft Wordpad on steroids. It can open Txt, RTF, Doc, and Docx files. That's it. They may have meant QRead. It's not free. But it's a great program that can read PDF, Bookshare, Word, HTML, CHM, XML, ePub, etc. It's $30.00. http://q-continuum.net/qread/ Hth, Tom On 2/18/2016 4:10 AM, David via Talk wrote: If memory serves me right, a few days ago someone on the list claimed they used Jarte for their PDF files. If this is so, I am confused. I have downloaded and installed the software from their official webpage, so would expect it to be the latest version. But I cannot seem to make it open any PDF files. If I try, via the File menu of the program, to open a PDF, all that happens is that Internet Explorer opens, with the document. Well, if that is all the Jarte does with this file format, I could have done things in IE directly, couldn't I? So, is there any clue here, that I am not aware of? Or, is Jarte only good for Word documents?

Besides, if you are still getting lock ups in your browser watching your videos the problem is still happening, just not as often. I remember getting it watching a video, amazon prime or netflix I forget. When I clicked the close program I think the video continued playing, I forget but think that was the case. If your video will continue playing does it continue at the exact place you left off or is it a little later or earlier in the video?

Jarte and PDF?
If memory serves me right, a few days ago someone on the list claimed they used Jarte for their PDF files. If this is so, I am confused. I have downloaded and installed the software from their official webpage, so would expect it to be the latest version. But I cannot seem to make it open any PDF files. If I try, via the File menu of the program, to open a PDF, all that happens is that Internet Explorer opens, with the document. Well, if that is all the Jarte does with this file format, I could have done things in IE directly, couldn't I? So, is there any clue here, that I am not aware of? Or, is Jarte only good for Word documents?

RE: Is WindowEyes Causing All Internet And Other Crashes?
Reading the postings it seems that this problem is not unique to WindowEyes but is perhaps worse in WindowEyes. There are indications that it happens most often in Internet Explorer or, at least, is most identifyable in InternetExplorer with the dialog that InternetExplorer says the program is not responding (same dialog when JAWS locked up in Internet Explorer) but WindowEyes will not usually notify you the problem has occurred and just locks up - this should be fixed by AISquared so we can be notified and close the offending program. Note that it is likely not Internet Explorer lockinng up but some program being called or used by Internet Explorer like one that might display an ad or flash or something because closing the program that is not responding does not close Internet Explorer but after closing the program not responding you are still in Internet Explorer and can continue working in that program. Some have noticed better results when not using background processes like the automagic update of synced programs like cloud related programs, note that OneNote and other things that come with our Operating Systems also can be using these types of features by default. Also, there allot of Live Tiles that will access the internet automagically and send or gather information from external online web pages and, or, web services which is akin to using a cloud service in that both have to access something on the internet and thus prone to internet transmission and many other problems. Even programs that you would think wouldn't access the internet from your desktop might be doing something online behind the scenes so this is one possible avenue but tonarrow things down we can do a few things. First, you folks who use Mazilla and Chrome for your browsers, have you noticed any lockups at all using WindowEyes? Second, the next time I get a Internet Explorer lockup I will try and hit the Debug button instead of the close button to see what I can find out about the error like what program(s) are related to it if the error will give me that much detail. I forget the WindowEyes hot key to copy a MessageBox which is usually not able to be read with the normal arrow keys, anyone remember it off the top of your head?

When I used to have Windows-7 and WE 8.4(?), and I often got the Interwnet Explorer has stopped working or an error caused Internet Explorer to close.

Now the only time I seem to get the, internet explorer has stopped working, messages is when I am watching a video from dailymotion.com.

If anyone else is experiencing these types of problems have you determined if this is unique to WindowEyes or if it happens often with other screen readers. I noticed on e*trade windoweyes would not expand a item labeled Tax Documents but JAWS did eexpand it so I could access the list of links to get to my tax documents and it made me wonder if this new html5 stuff and how the browsers handle it is causing WindowEyes problems and perhaps causing it to try and navigate around looking for something it cant find and thus causing delays and, in some cases, crashes when things get locked up. I can run some tests using JAWS, havent done that yet, but don't have nor understand how to use nvda correctly so thought I would ask if anyone else has noticed these types of problems in WindowEyes and worked around them with other screen readers to determine if it is unique to mysituation or if this is a problem worth looking at trying to narrow down via testing and getting some more specifics for the WE Staff if they are interested in our test results.
