Hi folks
I had mentioned that my pc seemed to be locking up a bunch while using
Window-eyes, especially with Internet explorer and windows explorer. I
tried all the suggestions you guys gave, but the lockup problems seemed
to continue. So I tried a couple other screenreaders I
have on this machine, and the lockups started happening while using
those as well. So logic suggests that it wasn't Window-eyes to blame.
The lockup issues *did* start happening after I installed Window-eyes
9.2, but as I said if the lockups happened, even while other
screenreaders were running, it has to be something faulty with Windows
itself. I haven't used it very much, but I have Malwarebytes installed
on here, so I ran an indepth scan of my system. It took a couple of
hours, but it turns outit found some things that it thought might be a
problem. there were about 68 items, some of them probably not malicious,
but I removed them and, so far, the crashes have completely stopped.
So if you're having issues with internet explorer crashing, which also
takes Window-eyes with it, it might be worth taking a bit of time and
doing a scan for spyware/malware. It found a toolbar that was installed
in internet explorer, which I didn't recognize. After I removed all
traces of it from the computer, things are a whole hell of a lot more
stable.
So i figured i would let you guys know. Thanks to everyone including
Chris G from AI Squared for providing me an earlier copy of Window-eyes
9.1 which, it turns out I don't need but i'm still backing it up just in
case...you never know!
Thanks guys.
