Thanks much Chris for letting us all know, very considerate of you! You know, some of those things as you say aren't malware, they're just sometimes really poorly written software we've forgotten about installing, or never even knew got installed along with something else.

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. _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
