Hi Don,
Nice to hear from you again. Smile. As far as the list of Window-Eyes apps to disable, it is interesting to note that, actually, on one of my computers, I did not need to disable any apps, whereas, on another, I did. Also, I don’t think the fact that certain apps are running is the cause of your Thunderbird issue. The simple fact is that I was not even able to get Window-Eyes to launch without throwing multiple errors unless the apps I mentioned were disabled. The process of disabling apps couldn’t even be done at all unless I launched Window-Eyes without any apps starting up, and this is done by holding down the Shift key while launching it. I tend to think that the problem you are having is that which Bernie on the list mentioned when responding to Carol‘s post, namely, the Thunderbird set file is not loading and therefore the screen information presented by Thunderbird is not accessible. Bernie’s suggestion of the steps to get the Thunderbird set file to load should work, but, if it doesn’t, then the set file which you would need to load manually is TBEnhanced, as memory serves. Once you load that set file, you would need to press Control-S in order to save the association of this set file with the application window in question; this association would be to the main Thunderbird application window. At any rate, here is the list I had mentioned some time ago: Window eyes apps to disable Eloquence Fix Hotspot JAWS quick key WEDiag Windows Enhanced Good luck, and I hope this helps, Rod Sent from Outlook<https://aka.ms/sdimjr> for iPad OS ________________________________ From: Talk <[email protected]> on behalf of Donald Roberts via Talk <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 22, 2021 3:08 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Donald Roberts Subject: Window-eyes 9.5.4 and Thunderbird 91.2 I am running a recent version of Windows 10 on my Dell desktop. Although I currently use Thunderbird 91.2, this problem began several months ago. Whenever possible, I prefer to use Window-eyes 9.5.4 as my screen reader of choice. When something doesn't work, I switch to Jaws 2021 to see whether things work better. When it comes to email, I can no longer use Window-eyes and must use Jaws. If I try to use W E with Thunderbird, I can no longer read the body of any message. I can read the to, from, and subject fields but not the message body. Although I don't recall the specifics, several months ago, Rud Hutton indicated that there were some Window-eyes apps which nowneeded to be disabled in recent versions of Windows 10. I wonder whether this could be the problem when attempting to read email using Thunderbird. If anyone remembers what I am talking about, I would appreciate knowing which W E apps need to be disabled. I realize this is a long shot, but I would certainly prefer to read email using W E. Thanks in advance for feedback.
