Hi, Gene,
I tried both in firefox and chrome and the same thing happens. Not only that, but when I try to read a title bar, I get 0 T instead of the modifier key. I changed the insert key to the capslockkey. A sighted
relative was here earlier today and he couldn't figure out what was wrong either.

After I sent my message yesterday, you said the problem doesn't occur in Edge. Before you do anything else, test to see if this is a problem specifically and only in Internet
Explorer. You said it doesn't occur in Edge. Try Firefox or Chrome and see if the problem is present. If it isn't, then this is evidently a problem with Internet Explorer being corrupted in some way. At that point, you can ask here about how to repair
and/or reinstall Internet Explorer and see if either solution helps.
If you can't solve the problem in either of those two ways, and if it only affects Internet Explorer, then, with Chrome and Firefox as options and Edge becoming increasingly
accessible and Internet Explorer becoming increasingly old, the next question is whether it's worth solving the problem. People may have other solutions to try but a reset, or whatever the correct term of Windows is may be something to try. I don't know
if you should do the reset that removes everything or the one that keeps your files and programs on the machine.

Hi, Gene,
I think he did a clean install of windows 10 so I lost all my files except for the music I have on my external hard drive.

What did you have repaired on the computer? Did the tech do anything other than repair just what you asked? Did he update anything or do any other work?
Also, and not necessarily related to the question, you might be able to reset, I'm not sure what the correct term is in Windows 10, Windows and tell the reset to leave all your
programs. But that would need discussion by others because I don't know enough about that option to do more than suggest it as a possibility.

That's the weirdest thing I've ever encountered. Wish I knew how to solve it.

The weird thing is that it happens in internet explorer. Not only that but if I'm trying to read a title bar in IE, I get "0 T" instead of the insert key. I don't have that problem in microsoft edge.
Aa, sounds like somehow your NVDA key got unmapped from the insert key. Go into the NVDA menu, then preferences, general, and make sure that the NVDA modifier for insert is checked.
If you wind up having to check it, then be sure to save your configuration afterwards with NVDA+CTRL+C.

Subject: [nvda] can't use the letter K to get from link to link
Hi, everyone,
Recently I had to have my computer repaired. Yesterday I brought it home from the shop but found that now I can't get to the links list with NVDA f-7 or the letter K. Whoever repaired my computer must have changed some settings on it. I
have the proper boxes checked but don't know why this isn't working. Here is what I was trying to do. I wanted to go to the Gmail site to find out if I had messages in my spam folder that aren't spam. When I hit K to go from link to link, all I get is K and
nothing else. When I hit NVDA f-7 to go to the links list, I get a message asking if I want to turn on caret browsing. What could bee causing this?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Rosemarie
