No, AVG has never blocked NVDA. I just tried closing AVG and running
the portable copy again, and got the same result as before. By
"problems with AVG" I meant that AVG itself isn't working properly.
Even if AVG had tried to block NVDA, it probably would have warned me
not to download the installer, which didn't happen (see the first
message in this thread for details).

Hi gene


That is really weird.


I think i read he used AVG on his computer and some times AVG would stop
nvda from been install onto his pc. I have had that and the way was
either
turn off AVG while it was been installed then turning it back on after
wards
or make a exception for it as it would see it as a virus. It only
happened
once or twice. maybe food for thought for him to check out as well.

Hi --Luther



I was just having a quick read so were you able to install a copy of
nvda onto your pc and it was the installer version?


if there is a UAC screen that comes up when installing from the portable
onto the pc the portable version i do not think can see it.


I do not think it is spoken either. but when it does comes up the
shortcut key is i think the alt key + y


if you did get it installed then updated it or went to update it then
after downloading it and then it goes to install it the UAC screen might
come up if the case is use the ALT key + y and hopefully it will keep on
installing for you.


If you do do a complete uninstall of nvda even though it may be
uninstalled from add/remove programs or what ever windows calls it.


Also check under the C: drive program files x86 directory and make sure
there is no folder for nvda.


Also check under the %appdata% area and if there is a folder called nvda
delete it out.


Reboot the pc then reinstall nvda and hopefully you should be ready to
go.

Hi,
I am running Windows 8.1 on a Mac bootcamp partition. When NVDA 2016.3
first came out, I tried to update to it. Everything went as expected
until the final stage, when a dialog should be presented which says it
is installing and the beeps stay at the same pitch. Instead, after I
agreed to the license and told it to "install NVDA on this computer",
it did nothing. NVDA still worked just as before, but it was still on
2016.2.1. I tried this several more times with the same result. The
same thing happened when I tried to update my portable copy. Recently
I decided to try to do a clean reinstall (now to NVDA 2016.4). I
uninstalled NVDA and deleted every file and registry key with "NVDA"
in its name. I downloaded the 2016.4 installer, but it wouldn't open
(I tried selecting "open" from the context menu and running it as
administrator). Then I thought maybe the problem was with my computer,
and I could use another computer to update my portable copy and then
copy it to my primary computer. I am able to update the portable copy
and run it on the second computer with no problems. However, when I
try to run it on my primary computer, there is a Windows error sound
immediately after the NVDA startup sound, but no error message. I
looked for log files on the flashdrive and in my AppData folder, but
there are none. Does anyone know what is going on and/or how to fix
this? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,
