Hi Stew,
Without the actual message itself, it's not much to go on
to try to help you. :)
When you say "switching to NVDA", do you mean, from another
screen reader, or by waking it up after you've had NVDA in
sleep mode, or bringing up an NVDA settings dialog... or
something else I haven't guessed?
If you can get that exact message you are receiving, that
would quite possibly help.?? NVDA has a speech viewer.?? It only
works while NVDA is running, so based on what you've said, I'm
not sure if you'll be able to get to it or not, but just in
case: Press NVDA+n to bring up the NVDA menu, then T for
tools, then down arrow once to speech viewer and press ENTER.??
The speech viewer window opens and takes focus - so you might
need to alt+tab back to wherever you were.?? Anything NVDA
speaks now should appear in the speech viewer. You can alt+tab
back to the speech viewer window to read or copy what has been
said.
Alternatively, you can set NVDA's log to Input/Output or
Debug, which will capture the speech and other detail in the
log.?? Press NVDA+control+g to open NVDA's general settings.??
TAB to "Logging level" and use the down arrow to increase the
logging level, then press ENTER when done.?? The log is saved
to the %temp% folder as nvda.log.?? If you need to restart NVDA
to overcome the problem you are having, that's fine, the
previous log is also kept as nvda-old.log.
If keeping a log at a high level like debug, it does save
everything including keystrokes, so don't log in to your
internet banking then post the log to the email list :)
Otherwise, what program are you in when you get this
message - and did you say restarting NVDA helps??? If so,
instead of restarting, if you press ALT twice, or alt+tab to
another program and back, does that help?
Regards
Quentin.
