hi

I am wondering if it is getting blocked by your anti virus program if this is the case you will need to give it a exception so it can install.

Could you tell me if it is about a 22 meg file? if not it may of not got downloaded properly or the file may of got corrupted

I just noted the size on a beta file of it.

If this is the case grab a new copy of it.

Could you also check under control panel even though it may not have installed under programs and features to make sure it is not there.

Also under  press the windows key + letter R then when the run dialogue comes up type in the following %appdata% make sure there is no nvda directory and if there is delete it out then close that page with alt key + f4 key.

I think you said you had jaws 19  so you could use that to do it

?

Then re install nvda with the good working copy.

I have downloaded it two times in the past with other laptops.  But, the first time for this laptop.

 

I do not get past the music.  No dialog  at all.  I did try alt+y just in case.

 

I have tried to save this and run it.  I have tried to just run it.  Same results.

 

Maybe their server has been down for over one day.

 

The only thing that I have recently changed on my end is just that I upgraded to Jaws 2019 on both computers.  Of course, I tried J17 just in case.  No dice.

 

Cheers,

Hi

 

is this the first time you have ever installed NVDA or have you had a earlier version.

 

the file that wouldive come down would be named nvda 2019.1.exe and when you click on it or try to get it to load it will make a musical sound then come up with a documentation screen. YOu will need to agree to it by pressing the space bar then tab to the first option which will be install to your computer then press the enter key. If it seems to be getting stuck installing it it might be that the UAC screen has come up and nvda can not see it if this is the case use the ALT key + letter Y to say yes to it and it should keep on installing then say it has been installed  with a ok button.

 

Or is it just not going any further after you hear the sound?

Hi all,

 

I went to:

 

http://www.nvaccess.org/

 

and downloaded a very small file that looks like it is suppose to install NVDA.  When I open it, I get a few seconds of music and then nothing.

 

I have tried with both Chrome and IE for over 24 hours now.  So, maybe someone can tell me what I am doing wrong?

 

Cheers,
