I am also running window eyes for office 9.1 on a Toshiba laptop with windows 8.1 an core i7 at 2.6GHZ and 16GB of ram and I dont notice the issues . I also have a 256GB solid state hard drive. So I think my configuration is why I don't experience issues with window eyes locking up.
I bought the system preconfigured this way at best buy about 3 months ago. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+gmelconian619=gmail....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Reeva Webb via Talk Sent: Monday, June 15, 2015 11:05 AM To: Dave; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: 9.1 Locking up and Speech Stopping?
