Warning! Announcement about disks from A P H!
Greetings all,
Please read this blog post immediatly!
Let me start by saying, if you picked up a demo disk from
The American Printing House for the Blind
at any of the summer shows, such as the A C B convention, discard it immediatly!
Tyler, why are you telling us to discard it?
Well, it has been reported on the
A P H web site
that they have found a virus on this disk.
Your computer will not be infected by this virus immediatly, however, if you attempt to install the demo of verbal view of windows xp, your virus scanning software will give you a warning.
Whatever you do, do not hit accept.
Here are some details about the virus, taken from the a p h website.
Virus name: Win32/Prolaco.
Other virus details.
only way to infect your system is to click
the demo software link on the Demo Disc startup screen, and then click the link to
install the demo of Verbal View of Windows XP. The only file on the disc affected
by the virus is the Verbal View of Windows XP demo.
If you attempt to install the Verbal View of Windows XP demo, and you have up-to-date
virus software installed, you should be warned about the presence of the virus immediately.
Please Take the Following Steps
1. Discard the APH Demo Disc 2010.
2. Completely scan your system with up-to-date virus detection software.
One antivirus program that detects Win32/Prolaco with a general scan is Microsoft
Security Essentials. This antivirus software is both free and accessible.
Folks, discard those disks, and be sure to get new ones!
For more information, please visit the
Home page of The American Printing House for the Blind
I hope this article has been useful.

They are not calling it something like window-eyes 7.2.1.
Instead, they are calling it window-eyes 7.2 refresh.
Ok, so why does a user need to instal this new

To redownload the

7.2 installation, follow the steps provided below.
1. Open the window-eyes control pannel by pressing control backslash.
2. Press ault h for help.
3. Press u for window-eyes update.
4. Window-eyes will then open the window-eyes upgrade page.
5. Once there, press h twice.

A small tutorial now available!
Hi all.
Just a quick note.
I saw a list member on the gw-info email list who was asking how to do an uninstall of window-eyes.
I know that many list members wrote out step by step instructions, and I'm greatful that they have done so.
However, I feel that there may be some people out there that might appreciate a small audio tutorial that walks them through an uninstall of window-eyes.
So, I stept up to the plate, and made a small one.
This short audio tutorial is free, and may be distributed to anyone.
It walks you through two ways of removing window-eyes.
You can download it by
Clicking here
I hope you folks out there find it verry helpful.
Enjoy!
