A correction: I should have said Windows enterprise. Individual pcs boot up and load all of their settings off a howst server. Individual users cannot modify settings. I can't even get the startmenu to work how I would like. I wish I could independently install and configure Window-Eyes similar ot how you've described.
I am inclined to the view that my problems at work relate primarily to the interaction between Window-Eyes and our various system security applications. My employer handles large quantities of personal data on behalf of the Government, and for very good reason, must keep it secure. Our software engineers can't get it through their binary brains that screen readers and associated apps do not pose a security risk. The problem though is that if I (and I try) do ask for problem components to be removed, or for firewal exceptions for Window-Eyes - I get mindless bureaucratic blockage. Systems the world over vary, and so although I hold ot the view that Window-Eyes must be more robust in a corporate setting, I just don't think that AI Squared in particularly interested in pitching at the corporate with respect to changing attitudes, promoting the integrity of Window-Eyes and so forth. Internationally, so-called dealers actually need technical competence to negotiate through complex architectures and advocate for proper operation in the commercial world of products like Window-Eyes. New versions, from 9.2, need to do better in the corporate environment. Resources need to be available to corporate administrators so that blind workers can use our screen readers with confidence.

Hello Vaughan, Interesting that you find Window eyes 9.1 to act up on your Win 7 Professional system. I actually had my Win 7 Pro system at work, and I had some issues with it there, using the older 8.4 edition. I brought it home, and installed the new 9.1. have noticed it seems a bit slower, and of course, I have already expressed the problems on the when using the Web Browser. I have wondered if the problem is the difference between Win 7 Home edition and Win 7 Professional? Because some here seem to have little problems with 9.1. t 03:49 PM 5/15/2015, you wrote: >I have two contrasting experiences with version 9.1. > >On my 8.1. 64 bit machines, 9.1 has proven to be the most stable of >Window-Eyes releases.
