Which synthesizer are you running when this happens. I have had this sort of
thing happen a few times, and I am running Eloquence. I wonder whether the
synthesizer is hanging rather than Window-Eyes itself. In my case the
crashes, if they occur, are in IE 11 or in Windows Live Mail 2012, and are
under Windows 7 64-bit.
I would recommend changing the Read-to-end hotkey to something other than
ctrl-shift-R, so there is no possibility of it conflicting with the
Reply-to-all function in e-mail programs. I use Scroll-lock on my setups. On
this laptop, I have to hit Function-Insert to get a scroll-lock keystroke,
but I'm used to that after 5 years. I would have to use some other
substitute if I worked a lot more with spreadsheets, since you are locked
onto one cell if scroll-lock is on when you open the spreadsheet.

Subject: Sudden loss of speech
Hi. I am sending this message to the list in case anyone else has run into
this problem. I am not complaining; I am merely explaining what happened
while I was going through my e-mail.
I have two Dell computers and they're both running Windows 10 and
Window-eyes 9.2.
Earlier this morning, I was checking my e-mail on my Dell Xps-501 laptop.
After I opened the third e-mail in Outlook 2013 and started reading it using
ctrl-shift-r, speech suddenly stopped. I pressed the ctrl-alt-w hotkey
three times to launch Window-eyes 9.2. The startup sound would play, but
speech would not come up. I rebooted the machine hoping for an error report
and there wasn't one.
Having said all of this, this brings me to ask these questions. How can
speech suddenly stop and not generate an error report? If no error report
is generated for Ai Squared engineers to look at, how can the problem of
sudden loss of speech be tracked down? If Ai Squared can find a way to fix
this problem, I'm all ears, smile.
This doesn't happen often, so I must admit I never thought I'd be one of
those list members mentioning this issue. I guess this is one of those
moments where there's a first time for everything, smile. My primary
computer is a Dell Xps-8500 desktop running Outlook 2013 as well.
