The only problem I have consistently is that IE stops responding, this problem seems to have increased in frequency, but I doubt that this is cause by WE. I use email constantly all day and I never have a problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim via Talk To: Brian Moore ; Window-Eyes Discussion List Sent: Tuesday, April 4, 2017 10:16 AM Subject: Re: making the switch
Brian, Like you I have been a long-time user of WE, unlike you though, I really do not seem to be experiencing the difficulties with WE. I would be interested in knowing just what it is that WE no longer does efficiently. I have for the most part found each subsequent release of WE to be considerably improved. Oh, there are a few things that I would like to see it do, but those things I cannot do with NVDA or Narator either. Just curious as to your issues with WE? THANKS and Have A Good 1! de <KF8lT><Jim>.
