Andrew,

I am also using a autohotkey script to kill all processes of Window-Eyes
and restart it after a few seconds.
I am using also the Pskill.exe program to kill a process tree. It is
probably killing processes twice, but it works.
It will also kill the windows explorer, because this can also cause
problems if this hangs. Explorer is also restarted.

Below the code.

Regards, Marten

---autohotkey killwe script
run %a_programfiles%GW MicroWindow-Eyeswineyes.exe /k
sleep 5
run, pskill -t wineyes.exe,, hide
run, pskill gwm32.exe,, hide
run, pskill bdisplay.exe,, hide
run, pskill speech32.exe,, hide
run, pskill weserv.exe,, hide
run, pskill weproxea.exe,, hide
run, pskill weli.exe,, hide
run, pskill wecom.exe,, hide

runwait, pskill explorer
soundbeep 480, 130
soundbeep 650, 150
sleep 5
run, EXPLORER
; restart window eyes after a few seconds by sending the keystroke ctrl-alt-w
sleep 4000
send ^!w

--- end code
