What kind of mouse pad do you have on that box? Have you checked to make sure that track mouse with focus is turned off? Does your mouse have any software that uses intelasense? It could be that the intelasense or what ever they are calling it these days is causing the mouse to move around the screen trying to focus the mouse on object the driver thinks you would have interest in. it has been years sense I ran in to that little problem, but I would think even to day that it would cause the same kind of issues. What other programs do you have loaded at start up? Some times tsr programs can cause windows to pop up at times that will cause window-eyes to read things that as far as you can tell are not there. For example the getright download manager will pop up a window called getright moniter. At times when you are done with a task and think you should go to the desktop this invisible window has activation and focus. Another example is the hp support tool. It pop ups and because it doesn't work with UIA it crashes. It might be time to give that system a refresh and start from scratch. It can be done with speech and you will just need to reinstall your desktop software again. I of course am just guessing here. I can not reproduce your problem on windows 8.1 try as I might. Window-eyes and windows 8.1 are working like a dream over here.

OK: Thinking on this I thought I would first try and figure out where phantom reading might occur and why. First phantom speech could be coming from WE reading something under the Mouse Cursor as Chip mentioned but why would WE read something under the Mouse Cursor if I do not press the mouse, numpad, keys to read anything and, in fact have pressed some standard key on the keyboard? Chip mentioned that WE will try and read, think it was, tool tips automatically which means WE is watching for things to automatically happen on the screen and read something based on screen activity rather than just the press of a keyboard key. Now, I have unchecked the relevant option in the WE Control Panel to disable this from happening but it still happens, errant reading of items from someplace on the screen outside of where focus is suppose to be. It happens in both Internet Explorer and in a standard Desktop Application so not related to Internet Explorer. So, outside of reading Tool Tips automatically, what else is suppose to be read automatically by WindowEyes without being a response to a keyboard action or what may be read under the Mouse or the WE Cursor automatically in response to a non mouse or WE Cursor keyboard event being requested by pressing a Numpad key (mouse cursor or WE Cursor keys)? Knowing just a little about WE Scripting WE has to be executing a speek command at the wrong time to actually speak the phantom item. Could it be WE trying to read something under the Mouse Cursor or WE Cursor or could it be some buffering problem and is there a test I can do to figure out which, or neither, of these may be behind the problem?
