Re: can't get into preferences

Quentin , this is what I posted earlier today.
Earlier I went into preferences and unchecked NVDA at log in screen and unchecked  load automatically after bootup. The reason I did this is that NVDA was taking longer than usual to completely load. After I rebooted the machine and loaded NVDA manually, I couldn't get into preferences to recheck these to check boxes. Any Ideas before I have to uninstall and reinstall? thanks.
After this posting I hhad my wife look at the screen once I hit NVDA key, plus n key, and my wife said the screen was filled with gibberish. Problem solved now. I just uninstalled and reinstall from a portable copy I had on a thumb drive. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
Just for anyone coming to this issue in the future, Jaffar, I'm guessing you meant press control+alt+n to restart NVDA?
For the others who had the issue, can you clarify exactly what did / didn't happen?  Were you pressing NVDA+n to open the NVDA menu, then accessing the Preferences sub-menu with P or arrows and enter.  Or were you pressing say NVDA+control+g to go to the General preferences screen directly?
In either case, did it give an error message or beep or any other indication of what was wrong?
If anyone can still reproduce this, do please feel free to send me a copy of the log.  See https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/LogFilesAndCrashDumps for details.
NVDA does have a restriction on only allowing one NVDA dialog to be open at a time, but it will give a message explaining this if you do try to open multiple dialogs.
Kind regards
Quentin.

Hi.  I had the same problem.  Just press control n again as if you
are starting NVDA and it will refresh it self.  Cheers!
