why would this make any difference? most all of the consumer software only uses
one core. unless it is doing some kind of video or audio processing like a
studio would need for commercial purposes.

Sky,
Nice writeup. Are you using CPU affinity on your environment? If so, how many
cores do you have per processor? My general experience has been to only use CPU
affinity for processors with six or more cores.

Hello. Many, and list. To set Window-Eyes in high affinity so that it'll
talk even when a program stops responding, do the following:
1. press windows M as in mike to go to the desktop.
2. Press w until you find Window-Eyes.
3. press alt enter to open the properties dialog. You will land on the
target drive location for that selected program.
4. press the end key to get to the bottom of the last line.
5. add the following.
/C START "Window-Eyes.exe" 8 /high /affinity 1.
6. Press alt A, to activate the apply button. If UAC user account control is
enabled, a dialog will pop up asking you to give permition.
7. Press enter.
8. when The user account control dialog pops up, press alt y for yes.
9. Press tab to find the ok button, and enter to activate the button. This
should allow Window-Eyes to use only 1 core on the computer. I hope this
helps, Sky.

Subject: Fwd: Why can't WE9.program be set with exclusive use of one core?
Hi,
It seems to me that what is needed is a screen reader with priority to
do it's job. For example, I have a program, Houdini, which is capable
to use up to 8 or more (i think) cores for it's analysis of a chess
game. When this program is running it uses all 4 cores on my computer,
and WE9.2 goes silent, because Houdini has priority.
Why can't you program WE9.2 to take exclusive use of one core of a
multi-core system?
And by so doing, WE9.2 will always be able to talk, because no other
program can have access to that one core which is restricted to be used
only by WE9.2.
I have been playing around with setting the affinity on WE9.2, to use
one core,
and my Houdini program as mentioned above, and WE9.2 will continue to
talk when the affinity is restricted while it will not talk when not.
Any thoughts?
many thanks,
Manny
