Well, it's very difficult to know exactly what's going on, but it sounds as
if you've got yourself in a right pickle over there :). I won't attempt to
try and advise on what to do, as you could make things worse, which is
easily done with such a complex program. Add to that the accessibility layer
and I totally understand that such things can occur. I could take a look
this evening if that's of any help?
Also, and Tim won't mind me mentioning this...Tim isn't actively working
with Samplitude Access or has any great knowledge of Samplitude. Myself and
Tim worked together for the first 4 months on getting this project up and
running, but that ended in August 2015...since then it's just been me. I
talk to Tim all the time and question him on particular scripting issues, so
he's there in spirit, but extremely busy with work. so, just mentioning it
so folks are aware of the current set up. The team is simply myself and
Phil doing the donkey work, with Len giving us fantastic support and
testing.

The hotspot ring problem is probably easily fixed by Steve or Tim or
Phil. Before that happens though, check to see your screen resolution
is set to at least 1280 by 768 and you're using the Windows 7 Classic
screen theme.
When you find stuff in the Recycle Bin, use the File menu restore
option to put it back. It knows from whence it came. That may help in
the above problem.
If you really want to roll back to the state where your computer was
when you first unpacked it, you'll definitely need sighted assistance
due to the particular software Jim uses to make these backups. One
thing I do wish he'd do is to at least provide that software on the
machine which can be written to some bootable medium, then run to do
the restore.

Guys,--
I was having a problem with Samplitude Pro X3 Suite. Some things seemed to be responding correctly while some were not. My version of Pro X2 seemed to be responding correctly. But Pro X3 Suite kept telling me that I was not in the VIP window at various times. Both programs yielded the correct response when JAWS Q was pressed. So, I figured the scripts were present in both cases. I figured that, somehow, the .INZ file had disappeared. So, I thoughtI’d reinstall it.
Here’s where the heartbreak occurred. Steve Matzura, please restrain yourself as you read. I went to grab the .INZ from a subfolder within a main folder called something like _drivers and Updates. This directory came with my new computer and contained all the subfolders filled with the stuff that Jim installed on the computer on my behalf. This would include Samplitude Access. But it would also include the installers for Samplitude 2 and 3, JAWS, SONAR, Sibelius and God knows what else. I was trying to navigate to the .INZ file so I could reimport it when I apparently deleted the entire fucking directory from within Samplitude.
Now, I was about to talk about the inaccessible backup Jim Rosebarry delivered with the computer and ask you guys how I might go about recovering this directory. That is, until I discovered that this directory, all 32GB of it, actually was in my Recycle Bin. Imagine my relief. I have now copied it to a second drive and restored it to its place on the C drive. But that doesn’t explain how the F I deleted the whole thing in the first place. And it doesn’t explain why I wasgetting error messages like such and such position on the hotspot ring has encountered a problem. Color not found. WTF, Gents.
For those of you who celebrate such things, happy thanks giving. And for those of you who don’t, you’re better off.
Kevin
