Symptom: Three possible symptoms could exist:

  • After installing Window-Eyes 6.1 with the DECtalk Access 32 (Window-Eyes) set as the active synthesizer, Window-Eyes launches, but is silent.
  • After installing Window-Eyes 6.1 with the Google Desktop also installed, Internet Explorer would not launch, even when Window-Eyes was closed.
  • After installing Window-Eyes 6.1, critical registry keys needed for Window-Eyes functionality were unavailable.

Cause: For information regarding the DECtalk Access 32 issue, refer to KB1069. The Google Desktop compatibility issue and missing registry entries issue were bugs in Window-Eyes.
