Subject: Re: Sleep Mode Situation
hmmm, I was working on a laptop for a friend, and going out of sleep
mode was a mess, the screen was black to the person and WE would usually
work, but you had to fool with it, maybe hit control and tab or shift
tab to get the cursor into the password field or sometimes you would
have to reboot. Without WE running, it worked all the time. The screen
came up to the person with eyeballs and they were able to type the
password. This was a Lenovo, and they have some strange drivers.

Hi Rick,
Just FYI, I myself and many many others use sleep mode all the time in
Windows 7 and 8, without any particular problems.
If you are having problems when you do this, in my opinion it's very
likely
to be caused by a driver which doesn't support stopping and restarting its
device properly (I once had such a driver with this problem; whenever I
stopped the device with power saving options or with sleep, it never would
restart).
You can work around it by never going into sleep or hibernate modes, and
turning off any power saving options, but I think you'd be better off
trying
to update all of your device drivers. This likely means going to each
manufactuers site and doing some research.
Or, if you spend a little money, I know there are programs you can
purchase
which tell you if any of your device drivers are out of date, and where to
find the updated versions.
As something of a middle ground, you could go into device manager and
disable devices you are not using (a bluetooth card, a built-in video or
sound card if you're using an external one, etc.).
Since it's related to speech (I haven't seen all your emails on this
subject, so bear with me), if your pc continues to function without
speech,
then I'd certainly look at the sound card and the video card as number one
and two suspects. Especially if it recovers from sleep, and everything
works except sound (and if a sighted person confirms the video is still
displaying properly).
If you are using an external synthesizer, sound card, or braille device,
then perhaps it's a USB related driver.
Good luck,
Chip

Subject: Rod: Sleep Mode Situation
Hi Rod:
First I have to figure out what to turn off and how:
here is the first article i read on the related subject:
It was for Windows 7 but gives a good overview of 3 states that may need
to
be addressed I guess:
I think, I run a Desktop machine, I may have to turn off Hybrid sleep from
the below and I am running windows 8.1 so will do some more homework -
more
time spent trying to keep WindowEyes working properly, sigh and I don't
even
get a six pack.
Which did you turn off on your machine and was it a desktop or laptop?

What's the difference between sleep, hibernate, and hybrid sleep?
Sleep
is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume
full-power
operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start
working
again. Putting your computer into the sleep state is like pausing a DVD
player-the computer immediately stops what it's doing and is ready to
start
again when you want to resume working.
Hibernation
is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts
your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power,
hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and
then turns off your computer. Of all the power-saving states in Windows,
hibernation uses the least amount of power. On a laptop, use hibernation
when you know that you won't use your laptop for an extended period and
won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.
Hybrid sleep
is designed primarily for desktop computers. Hybrid sleep is a
combination
of sleep and hibernate-it puts any open documents and programs in memory
and
on your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state so
that you can quickly resume your work. That way, if a power failure
occurs,
Windows can restore your work from your hard disk. When hybrid sleep is
turned on, putting your computer into sleep automatically puts your
computer
into hybrid sleep.
