Hello Lou,
Yes, the Computer manufacturer is to build their systems to at least
the Minimums require3d for what ever Operating System is to be installed.
In my experience, those Minimums are on the bottom edge of
reliability when it comes to using that system effectively.
I once had a Boss that was always putting the Minimum requirements so
low for the Software the Company produced, that in my mind, the
posted Minimum requirements were as close to a lie as you could get
without actually lying.
A customer would call, and their machine would have the minimum
requirements printed on our package, and yet the software would not
run without crashing. Or it was so slow, that even though the
software would start up, it was so slow, that using it was for the
most part fruitless. And I being the Tech Support guy, had to find
some way to make it all run as if the system had a High End Quad
Core 3.4 chip with 16GB of Memory. An impossible task, because
sometimes as system is what it is, and there is no way to make it run
faster, or smoother.
Lets not forget that Marketing wants to sell software to as wide of
market as possible, and so they too will push the limits when it
comes to Minimum requirements printed on their Web Site, or on their
packaging. It is all about the Money ya know.
You mentioned that most of the problems with Speech dropping out was
when you were using one or the other of the two browsers you have installed.
This is where most of my problems happen as well. Although I have
had some failures when using my Email program.
There are about 7 or 8 Browsers out there and the only ones I have
used are I.E. 11, the latest Firefox, and the latest Google offering.
firefox and Google just give me fits. So I end up returning to I.E.
11, which I suspect has a few bugs of its own.
I'll try starting up NVDA to see if there are any Error messages from
I.E. or some other program.

The manual says that basically if the computer came with any OS from Vista
to eight point one, the computer manufacturer should have built the computer
to meet the OS requirements, and, these requirements are satisfactory to run
WE nine x. Best results are had if the computer has at least a 2 ghz
processor and 2 gb of memory, but...
* Requirements may vary depending on your system configuration and
applications installed.
Only time I experience a loss of speech is when I'm using one of the
browsers--IE eleven or Firefox, and it seems particular to pages that use
flash. Most times, I am able to launch NvDA, end Wineyes-exe, and get WE
running again. Alt tabbing, I can usually find at least one error message
concerning the browser itself. Occasionally, I cannot get focus to the
Notification bar and every key I press causes the Windows OS notification
bar sound to play. When this happens, I have to give the computer the index
finger of death.
Speaking of Firefox, is WE mouse function still gone in the newest build?

I have 8 gb of ram, and I bought window eyes when Dec-talk was still the
default voice, so that's what I am using. My window eyes stops when I am
doing email and I get new email in, and mainly when I am doing one thing and
another thing happens like that. It doesn't seem to know how to deal with
multiple things happening. Pam.

Subject: 9.1 Locking up and Speech Stopping?
Hello,
To those of you that are having Lock Ups and Speech dropping when
using Win Eyes 9.1, I am curious to see how much RAM Memory your
system has to work with? And what voice Synthesizer are you using?
I have 6GB of Memory, but am using one of the Premium voices that
Window Eyes sells, which uses more memory than some of the other voices.
I at times have no problems, and then other times, nothing but
problems. Am starting to wonder if it has anything to do with Memory.
