Hi Rod: I got there typing sleep into the start box and picking one of the options. The Dialog came up with the 2 combo boxes and I set both those puppies to never. I think this is a well defined problem and this is another tweak that will help stabalize WindowEyes so I don't get as many speech loss or reading content problems. Along with mucking with the mouse settings and letting WindowEyes start speaking a line or so when switching between applications or opening a new application I have reduced the speech drop outs and lockups by, a very rough guess, 50 or better percent. I still get them sometimes like when doing a read to end in Internet Explorer or other programs but they were getting really bad a few months ago. I am not sure how ram allocation takes place, the WE team are C++ guys and may be doing something that stuffs something into volitile ram that perhaps would better be handled in some other way. This is another reason I have pushed for WE Development using one of the .net languages in Visual Studio to help avoid low level programming problems or operating system problems on Windows boxes. I don't know if this is the underlying cause but it could be. OK, another one bites the dust and WE is now a little more stable since I have turned off sleep mode it seems - no losing ram after sleeping since my computer never sleeps, a sludge hammer approach but if it works and gets the job done congrats to all who figured this out and indeed good job by the client community!
