Hi: Yes. Often I can exit using narrator and then ReBoot the computer. I have tested JAWS on the same browser page while WE was totally locked up, well it would allow me to use the keyboard after firing up narrator, and JAWS seemed to read the page fine while WE was still dead. Sometimes, perhaps 1 out of 4 or 5 times firing up narrator or jaws will bring WindowEyes back to life but usually with some of the WindowEyes hot keys like read to end and others not working. ReStarting WindowEyes will not bring these features back but a complete ReBoot of the computer via the soft ReStart or actually pushing the computers power button will bring WindowEyes back to its normal operational state.
