SYMPTOMS

When the Vocal Eyes program by GW Micro is loaded before you start Microsoft
Windows, the screen speech option does not operate in an MS-DOS session.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Vocal Eyes is a product developed by GW Micro for visually impaired computer
users. The purpose of the product is to "read" the MS-DOS screen for the user.

Eyes program is loaded after you choose the MS-DOS Prompt icon.
