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.
