Re: NVDA going silent.

Last night I did a search for add ware programs and found to my surprise that malware bytes offers an add ware eliminator. It appears not to be included in the main malware program. So I downloaded it and ran it. It found several items and removed them. Then I opened Chrome. The first thing I heard was New notification from google chrome. Drink a cup of this before going to bed and watch the pounds melt away. Someone is still trying to sell me snake oil and they are immune to add ware removers. I’m still happy with firefox and as long as I am I’m not going to waste anymore effort on chrome.

Nothing finds everything. Others can recommend other programs you might try. If you really want or need to go deeply into the question, a site like bleeping computers, where a lot of geeks hang out and help users, would give you help. You may need sighted help to do some of what they discuss.

I would have thought that malware bytes would have found anything. I don’t know what else to do.

This isn't Google and it isn't Chrome. It is adware on your machine. Others, including me, have said that we don't get such popups. Chrome is by far the most popular Windows browser at present. it wouldn't be if it subjected people to what you are experiencing.
It doesn't matter where the popups say they come from. Maybe the adware is trying to make the popups appear as though they come from Chrome to try to make them appear more credible or make people think they are being shown by the browser. They are definitely not coming from Chrome.

I pulled the Firefox shortcut out of my rarely used folder and put it on the desktop. The menus were there as was the quick start favorites bar. I set it as default browser, and my home page. That was easier than chrome or MS edge. I haven’t seen any popups yet. I’ll try it for a few days and see how it goes. NVDA seems a bit more responsive than with other browsers but time will tell. I wonder if google knows they are driving users away with their popups. Each popup announced that it was from google chrome. I don’t have popups from any other program. I think the malware on my computer is google chrome.

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.
