Re: NVDA going silent.

What you are describing regarding popups are all
signs of adware. Chrome has its own popup blocker and adware can show
popups anyway. If you install a popup blocker, adware can show
popups. Firefox has menus. If you pressed alt and no
menus came up, the browser was set to full screen. If a program has a full
screen setting and its on, you can't bring up menus because the entire screen is
used for the displayed content. Sighted people wouldn't see menus
either. To put the program back to normal, press f11. That is the
standard key in Windows programs to toggle between full screen on and off.
Full screen isn't the same as maximizing a program. You can maximize a
program with no problems.
As far as a bookmark bar is concerned, if you mean
the one in Chrome you can get to with f6, there isn't one in Firefox. But
Firefox works very well with bookmarks. Use control b and you will bring
up a bookmarks menu very similar to that in internet Explorer. There is
also a very good search bookmarks feature in firefox. I won't explain that
in this message but I will if you want to try it.

Yes, we had a discussion about popups in Chrome and I set the option to no popups with no results. I also installed a popup blocker but it didn’t do anything to solve the problem. The last time I tried Firefox I couldn’t find any kind of menu navigation. Without that I couldn’t set it as the default browser or import bookmarks. Also I don’t think it has a favorites bar which I use all the time.

I seem to recall we may have discussed popups with Chrome before. I think its adware. I don't recall hearing about what you are discussing in Chrome in cases other than adware.
If you don't want to investigate that problem, then it would be a good good idea to start using Firefox. If you can use Internet Explorer and if it works properly on the sites you want to use, you may want to just use it for now, but over time, Internet Explorer will work with increasingly fewer sites.

It happened just now. When I pressed nvda key + N the menu came up. I arrowed around the menu and speech came back on. So there is another way to restore it. The two programs I had running were outlook 2013 and internet explorer. Chrome has become unusable because of the popups Which are greater in number every time I open it.

We don't know if there is a problem with speech or if the program stops running. You can't assume that just because speech stops, that the problem is with speech. When this happens, run Narrator or another screen-reader. Then try opening the NVDA menu. Does the menu open? If so, the problem has something to do with speech while NVDA is running. It may be a synthesizer problem or it may be an NVDA problem. If the menu doesn't open, then NVDA is no longer running which is an entirely different problem.

I don't understand what you mean by sleep mode. I turned
off character speak using nvda key 2 but it didn't keep it from going into its
silent mode. It's in it right now. I hope this message will make
sense as I am not getting any beeping feedback. Or reading of lines as I
up and down arrow. |
