What is UAC and how do I change the level of the settings.
Thanks,

Akbar

If I remember correctly, portable and temporary copies of NVDA are unable to
interact with UAC. When you hear the UAC sound, press Alt+Y. This should
allow the installation to continue. Alternatively, you could set the UAC
notification level to 0 which prevents the prompt from appearing and allows
the software to run normally.

You are brilliant. Being unable to install even from a portable copy
I asked my sighted son to take a look at it. Apparently a window was
opening which was completely inaccessible which was asking to confirm
to allow to install the programme which I was not aware of. When he
(my son) clicked to allow it and then the installation went through
without a hitch.

Thanks to all and sorry for the bother.

It could just be that something like an anti virus has updated since the
old

install and also it could be that new code in the latest nvda is only
now
falling foul of malware filtering. Normally such programs would tell
you
though, unless its a message which is inaccessible of course.

It would really need a sighted person with hands on the machine to solve
it

I think. Its going to be something really annoyingly simple I'm sure.

hello.
did you try nvda without eloquence?
by default, it only has espeak and i dont think that the problem
relates to eloquence.

also, system requirements for nvda 17.2 and 17.3 are the same.

The Eloquence which I have is quite recent and it is also installed
on
my second laptop on which I had no problem updating. The "alt-tab"
method has tried by me several times and makes no difference.
Besides, when the updated version of NVDA finishes downloading it
automatically says that the download is complete and it will now
update the existing version of NVDA. with the negative result
already
explained So I think I will just go ahead and make a portable version
from my proper working NVDA from my second laptop and install it from
there. I have not had any time as yet to do that but maybe I will
get
down to doing it over the weekend.
Thanks,

Well entity?
It sounds exactly like it even to the lisp!
I got mine on an old cd called Home Page reader by IBM it was a
freebie.
Goes back a very long way!

Via Voice isn't Eloquence. it is similar in sound and performance,
but
it
isn't the same program and isn't owned by the same entity.

I've not noticed this on any of the legal Eloquence drivers, even
the
old
sapi 4 one called via voice. I agree that old hacked one was rubbish
but
anyone using that still would probably have no hair left by now.

hi.
this may be caused by an old version of elequence.
before you update switch to espeak then upgrade and then switch
back.
also do a restart of your laptop.
i dont mean shutdown and restart.
i mean a full restart.

Hmmm did you try to alt tab a few times.

Sometimes I get a uac prompt, usually it pops up but if I for
example
have more than a couple windows open then it may be hidden.

The trick is to know how long something should take to download
and
if
you heard the completed sound or think it should be well should
be,
then
you need to alt tab.

On the other hand, the other way you can handle this is download
the
main exe file, close everything window wise and run that.

I retried the update with the same result and installation
failed.
The update downloaded fine and then stated that my existing copy
would
be updated and asked me to click OK which I did. After that I
keep
getting a message saying "please wait-your existing copy of NVDA
is
being updated" and this goes on repeating with simultaneous beeps
indefinitely untill finally it says that the update installation
failed. How do I get over this problem? Should I remove the
existing
copy of NVDA and install a fresh copy from scratch?

Alternatively, is it possible to make a portable copy from my
other
laptop which has a proper working version and try to reinstall
from
that? In that case if it is possible, then I would be spared
from
reconfiguring NVDA all over again to suit my needs.
Thanks,

That is usually the reason for this kind of problem.

Hi,

I tried to install NVDA17.3 on my HP laptop and although I
could
download the new version without any difficulty and also after
clicking to install it when I got the message to do so the
configuring
progress went on and on for at least 20 minutes and after that
I
got
an error message saying that the installation failed. I tried
the
same thing three times with the same result. Could someone
please
enlighten me as to what is happening and how I could remedy
the
same.

Incidentally I had no problem updating NVDA on my second
laptop
which
is an Asus. Both laptops are running Win 10 duly updated to
the
latest version. On the second laptop the installation took
only
a
few
minutes and there was no problem at all.

I give below the log I received for the installation failure.
Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Akbar
