Hello All,

I am having a problem with Window-Eyes 8.2. I have Windows 7, 64 bit on my
desktop. I am using my laptop right now because of the speech issues. I
have kept Windows itself updated.

A couple of weeks or so ago, my speech stopped. My computer otherwise
seemed to be working fine. With sighted help, I attempted to uninstall WE.
I could not and had to use the emergency uninstall. When I reinstalled WE,
it still did not work. I did also check my physical speaker and it is
working.

I have 2 sound cards. One is used exclusively by WE and the other sound
card has all other computer sounds. That sound card is working fine; not
the wE one.

I took my computer to my computer man. He repeated all my steps and had no
different results. He then went into the registry and deleted all WE items.
After reinstalling WE, my computer and WE worked.

Today, my speechch stopped again. It appears to be the same issues. I do
not have sighted assistance at the moment to verify things, but I can hear
Windows boot up.

I have been thinking back on this. The first time, my speech went out I had
just closed Open Book software. Today I was using Goldwave. It may have
something to do with using 2 sound cards or a related software.

Could my sound card drivers be corrupted? Any other ideas?

I am also having an unrelated problem with my laptop. It is also Windows 7,
64 bit with WE 8.2 I have only 1 sound card for my laptop. I am using
Office 2007. When I use the spell check, things become very sluggish.
Today in fact, speech stopped and I had to reboot. I have also noticed this
using the spell check in Outlook. Any ideas here?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Barbara
