You shold be able to copy your window eyes settings for openbook 8 to 
openbook 9.  In essence, what you need to do is tell window eyes to go away 
while you are focused on openbook.

Subject: [VICUG-L] asking input of peoples" experiences with open book
problem

Hi all,

I feel that it is time I come out here and ask if anyone has been in the
same situation with having an open book problem as I am having.

I use windows xp, window eyes 6.1, and open book.  Up until a couple of days
ago I had open book 5 and I was doing fine with it.  Then I purchased the
latest version of open book which is 8.  I uninstalled the 5 and then
installed the 8.  Well, from that point on open book does not open or work
at all.  It just gives error messages wanting to send error reports.  I am
in contact with Freedom Scientific and have tried to repair open book.  Plus
I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it a couple times, but still the same
result.  The bottom line is that there is still some sort of conflict, but
Freedom Scientific hasn't figured out what it is yet.  I was wondering why
all of a sudden this is happening and they said that in version 8 the speech
drivers are different or something.

I was just wondering if anyone on here has been in the same situation before
when they upgraded with open book and if so what you did about the conflict.
I would appreciate hearing anyone's experiences.  I don't know if it will
come down to the fact that there is a solution to this or not.  I guess I
may have to see if I can go back to an earlier version that will work and
just live with that or spend an exorbitant amount of money on something to
scan like Kurzweil or whatever.  Thanks so much.

Lisa
