Hi John, I know earlier versions of window eyes did not respond to a file with a .wepm file extension; that is, you had to specifically open such a file with the install script packages option. some version recently did add the ability to automatically process a .wepm file if you clicked on it

Kevin, it's because it's set to not show up unless the user has version 7.2 or higher, and right now, your version of window eyes isn't showing up as 7.2 because it's beta. as soon as you have the final release of 7.2, you'll see the access script and any others which require 7.2 (my MS Word

Maybe there is; I don't know it. however, it sounds like you're using outlook? if so, I know you can force outlook to read all your email in plain text, and I think that would stop it. Chip -Original Message- From: Jody W. Ianuzzi [mailto:j...@thewhitehats.com] Sent: Sunday, April

You probably don't want to use profiles to manage this issue. as you've seen, one of the things you'd have to duplicate, and keep up to date, are scripts, as each profile has it's own set of scripts. One thing you should realize is that if you leave windoweyes setup to use your default sound
