if you have enough disk space you could create a second administrator account
without effecting your existing accounts.
then you could see if the ie issues with w e clear up. if not you could delete
that account and still be where you were before you created the new account.

Well, I kinda made a move toward Chrome this past Sunday, and got
distracted by I don't remember what. If I want to keep reading my
Bookshare books, guess that's what I'm gonna have to do.
I have tried the new Chromium Edge, and so far I am amazed as to how
well it still seems to work with WE. The major problem being is the
DAISY issue.
As for Net Bat's suggestion to try opening a new account and see if
things don't clear up, I have never done that before, so hope that
process doesn't prove to be tricky. I have had enough computer drama to
last me for at least a year over the past week.
If anyone can come up with anything else, or encourage changing
accounts, guess that would be fine, just as long as it works <smile>.

what can i tell ya!
are you useing i e or edge?
if it is the original edge w e may not work with it. it might work with the
just released chrome based edge browser.
it is suppose to be a windows update so you may not have it yet.
even so you may have to turn off a setting in edge.
i don't remember what its called. something like u i automation? its a edge
setting. even the last jaws update did not support this setting until now and
had to be disabled.
***
do you have another account on your computer you can try?
my problem with w e was the number pad keys would be remapped almost every
time
i loaded window eyes.
like the number 5 key was the left mouse button. then it was both the left
and
right mous button when i pressed it the next time i loaded w e.
i changed the key to another key but it was remapped to the escape key. not
the
key i changed it to.
but this only happened with my administrator account. the standard account
worked fine.
i tried copying the default profile folder from one account to the other.
same
problem.
this is with windows 10 19.9
i deleted the administrator account. it asked me if i wanted to keep my
files.
i said yes. after i deleted it i used the same account user name and all of
the
files and desktop icons were transfered to the new account.
the only problem is it set w e,jaws and n v d a back to the factory defaults.
but the number pad keys now work with w e the way its suppose to do.
i did not reinstall w e.

Hello listers,
I will begin by stating that I am using Window-Eyes 9.5.4.0.
I sure hope that there are enough people with the expertise left on this
list that might be prepared to help me with a rather vexing issue.
To name the issue first. I can no longer get WE to take any input from
the keyboard, at least as it relates to using browse mode. I can no
longer move from header to header for example, or for that matter, even
set bookmarks. I mean, WE has just gone nearly completely dead when
using IE11. But now for the rest of the story.
I recently experienced an computer access issue after updating my HP
Pavilion computer through the Support Assist feature. My theory on that
is that the newer BIOS was not compatible with Windows 10, as strange as
that might sound. This apparently been an issue among HP users, and
especially Pavilion users. These desktop computers use an AMD CPU, and
the thinking is that AMD and MS aren't communicating with each other
very well lately. Anyway, I plan to call my Geek Squad people back today
to see if they can't clarify just what might have happened. As it is,
The Geeks left me with an 1803 build, Where as before I was up to 1903,
but at this point, I don't dare to update to 1909 fearing that the same
issue might arise.
Now back to WE. I have reinstalled, and fiddled around with things in
the control panel, but to no avail.
The thing is, it works with both Chromium Edge (latest stable build) as
well as Thunderbird, as both will allow the use of WE in browse mode,
but not IE.
If someone could please give me any pointers, it would be greatly
appreciated.
Oh yes, as a post script, IE is still important to me because apparently
Edge is still not able to work with DAISY text books from Bookshare.
I have to say that this thing really kinda creeps me out. IE is
practically a dead zone.
OK, Enough of the drama, any help again would really be appreciated.
Larry
