P. S., the terms read to end, window-eyes, and unfamiliar hot key
combinations refer to the commands of our screen access technology that
we use to access the screen as blind computer users, so you're not
confused, double talk is one of the synthesizers we use as blind
people. As I say, I don't get this behaviour when windows media player
is open, or when chaincast is open. If anyone knows how to solve this
problem, please let me know, because out of all the players, windows
media takes up the most resources, along with real player, but winamp
doesn't take up the resources that media player, and real player do.
Thanks in advance for helping.
