Hi: Whenever I go to the pages I use for financial analysis or financial news I usually get a message that flash has crashed and I have to send it to whoever and then lose the webpage I am on. Sometimes I can tab and continue with the page but with other pages I just end back in my root program or have to alt tab to the desktop and sometimes WindowEyes just locks up, sometimes coming back, occasionally I have to ReBoot. I noted that crashes in Internet Explorer were related to flash and windoweyes so this problem with the flash plugin seemed similar so... I fired up jaws and repeated a couple of the tests and I heard flash read 3 times, not no error messages, along with the number of links and other page details and no plugin error message nor any lockups or any problems of any kind. I am coming to the conclusion that WindowEyes has problems with adobe flash. Now, perhaps the flash plugin still went down but jaws just ignored it but at least I was able to continue with my work while I often ended up having to close Firefox to get back to my main program with WindowEyes and sometimes the lockup forced me to reboot - I didn't have time to waste trying to save WindowEyes by trying firing up jaws or the narrator and trying to getWindowEyes working again but likely the results would have been similar to results while trying to use WindowEyes with Internet Explorer and handling all the lockups in those ways. So, hopefully, AI2 will figure out what they are doing that causes the use of WindowEyes with many WebSites using Adobe Flash to crash. Perhaps I have a problem with the flash plugin but I checked and it is recent and active in Firefox - no flash warnings in Internet Explorer, just crashes and the details of the error indicate a adobe flash correlation causing the problem causing windoweyes to crash. So, I don't know what to ask to fix this problem Firefox tells me I have a crashing Adobe Flash PlugIn but it is there in Firefox and is active. WindowEyes seems to be causing crashes or at least be related to crashes in pages with flash in both Internet Explorer and firefox while the other screen readers do not seem to crash on these pages. So, AI2, what do you think the problem might be and can I fix it or is it up to you to fix WindowEyes? Rick USA
