Hi Tom, Actually, I was benignly referring to app errors in general, not Virtual View specifically. I was attempting to address Larry's concern that such an error foreshadowed the inability of Window-Eyes to continue to work in Windows 10 at all. One question which I have is whether this is an error specific to the fall creator's version of Windows, that is, assuming Larry has updated his version of Windows 10 to build 1709. I have not updated my version of Windows 10 from build 1703, nor am I able to, as I mentioned last week, and I'm not seeing this error running Virtual View in this older Windows build.

You see these errors "all the time" Rod? I don't recall ever seeing such an error. Making sure the object exists and pausing and trying again if it doesn't should prevent this most of the time. But of course there are always exceptions to the rule. We can only pause and try again so many times before assuming we're not going to get what we want. Then we should notify the user and bow out gracefully. If I remember right Aaron Smith wrote virtual View. And I'm sure he incorporated proper error checking and handling. Virtual View works fine here in Thunderbird, which is where Larry was running it. Larry. Given the name of the object (dlgResult) it is for a dialog. If you're getting this error on launch before anything comes up in Virtual view then it's on the main window creation, which is strange because it's just an XML dialog. But if the main window opens and you get it when pressing the OK button after making your selection then something in that selection is throwing an error. Just for the heck of it I'd open the Control panel, Programs and Features. Shift+Tab up to the Turn Windows features on or off link and activate it. Make sure Windows TIFF iFilter is checked. It's the OCR component in Windows.
