Hi all Has anybody tried a from the ground up installation of Window-Eyes 7.5 without first having any other version on your system? I ask because I have been trying to continue what Lynne started earlier this morning, installing a VM on our Mac which contains Windows XP SP2 and I attempted to add Window-Eyes 7.5 to it. Each time I try this I'm getting as far as Doug Geoffray's announcement about installing with speech, without speech, etc. Pressing enter to restart the computer and then, following the restart, WE runs in silent mode when it should be speaking. If I run that horrible "Narrator", I can see what Lynne told me was there. Window-Eyes taking me through its installation. So I followed the installation prompts, selecting the appropriate paths etc. When the install concludes I get no speech, no error no nothing. According to the list of active processes, Window-Eyes is running and the default synthesiser is running. But as I said, silence.
This kind of thing makes me realise just how lucky I am to have escaped the binds of Windows, for the most part. We only installed a VM for the sake of helping somebody out and also we thought that perhaps we could use it for my embossing if we could get the KeySpan drivers to load properly. Ah well, it looks like I'll have to try something else. Maybe install NVDA and see if that works. But in general I have to say I'm very unimpressed by GW Micro's latest offerings.
