Well, 9.2 cannot come fast enough. Window-Eyes seems to let go whenever I launch Internet Explorer on Windows 8.1. Not every single time, but more often than not.
My work-around is to press the Windows Key to call up the charms screen. Then Press alt+tab followed by the spacebar. I don't know the dialogue that is there, but if I can pin down a sighted person when this happens I will post it here. Then I can press control+alt+W to call up Window-Eyes again. I stopped putting WE into the system tray thinking this would make it more stable. Having it in the system tray ended up with several instances of WE showing up there. This isn't a windows issue, because if it was, then the free alternative would behave the same way. BTW, I can no longer use WE at work. The standard application there is the other paid option. And although it too has the same issues, it does hang in there and eventually comes back and begins speaking. I suspect the problems the two big players in the paid arena are having has a lot to do with MS Office 2010 and 2013. The free alternative appears to be handling these instabilities better, but it doesn't provide the same level of access when it comes to reviewing the screen or clicking on pages using elements that fall outside of being links, mouse overs, buttons etc. Vic -----Original Message----- From: goshawk on horseback via Talk [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2015 10:27 AM To: Dave; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Is there a 9.2 on the horizon? I'm not having that issue, but window-eyes is really being a total pest when it comes to reading ebay lately, and more often than not, I find that the only way to read ebay properly is by using my backup NVDA, and forgetting about window-eyes altogether. this is a real shame, as some of the other improvements to window-eyes are really showing through, especially in on-line surveys, where I was previously having a lot of issues with various elements that I just couldn't access with the keyboard, and now can access a reasonable number of them with the latest window-eyes.

Hello, I am not Happy with my New 9.1. I have given it time and me time to learn to use it properly, but going on the Web is almost a for sure Circus where I am forced to slowly use the Up and Down Arrows. And even then, it doesn't take much at all for the program to lose its way. Often going completely quiet. I am not sure what New way the Folks at Window eyes has come up with to Browse the web, but this New way needs an Update. I have had one of the Tech Support Staff check out my system and he said everything looked Good. But, if I go and use the Web, I almost always have the system lock up, or go quiet. Sometimes it is hard to tell which has actually happened. Forcing a reload of Window Eyes usually does not work. I can press ALT, CTRL and W, and Nothing happens. So, is there a 9.2 update coming any time soon? I use the web almost every day, and I keep needing to use my old XP system with 8.4.
