Hi,
I ran into a problem at work today that I wanted to run by the list.
We mainly use two programs at work, one is an interface to a mainframe computer and the other is our own software for getting info on customer accounts.
I've got seperate set files for these two programs and usually all works fine.
Our workstations have Window Eyes 5.5, 80 gig hard drives with more than half empty, Windows 2000 and 1.5 gb of ram.
Another employee went to a program, executed a hotkey to read text on the screen only if it is a certain color. It did not read the text. I verified that the color codes were still the same and they were. I verified that the certain color text was actually in the window the hotkey reads and it was. This hotkey was working just fine as of last Friday. I tried the same data on my computer and got the same results, the hotkey did not read the text.
The set file is the same one we had on Friday when this worked just fine.
I alt tabbed into the other program we use and noticed its set file did not load. I brought up the wineyes control panel and verified the wineyes.000 file was loaded instead of the program's set file that usually loads.
We shutdown the two computers and everything was fine when bringing up the data again, no problems at all.
On these same workstations wineyes is set to minimize to the system tray at startup. Sometimes when logging into the workstation there's wineyes as we alt tab. A sighted person said its like wineyes is sitting over the tasq bar but not like when there are other programs running and they appear there. If you press escape on the wineyes window, it goes away and is in the system tray.
The other odd thing is I can be in outlook 2003, typing a message and hearing the text echoed back to me when I type. I press up or down on the cursor keys to review what I've typed and the text isn't all there. Sometimes just a line or two. If I move left or right with the cursor keys, I hear the ding sound. I can review the text I typed with the mouse keys and all of the text is there. This seems to be totally random as I can send several messages and the problem doesn't happen again.
The last time I had problems like this at work it ended up being a bad hard drive.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Steve
