Hello, Anna. I actually just finished working w/1 of those machines,
except the client had the 13in display as opposed to the 15in 1, & it
works splendidly. She absolutely loves it!

I did, however, make a few changes.

First, please ensure that Narrator & NVDA are not running
concurrently, especially if they're both set to use the same voice,
but it really is better to disable Narrator.

2nd, these machines all come w/Mcafee installed. My recommendation is
that you get rid of it ASAP--& install Windows Defender in its place.
You can get a removal tool from:
http://us.mcafee.com/apps/supporttools/mcpr/mcpr.asp
It says to remove it via control panel first, but the uninstaller is
totally inaccessible, & it works to just use it w/o going thru the
hassle of trying to get sighted help.

3rd, the only Lenovo program I left to start up at boot time was the
utility program, & I'm not even sure it's worth that. I didn't
uninstall these programs, but rather set their services to run
manually as opposed to automatically. That way, I can check for
updates if required.

Of course--& this is standard procedure for me every time I set up a
computer for a blind client--I go into Ease of Access Center & click
the link that says "use the computer without a display". This tends to
turn off all unnecessary annimations, etc, but you may wish to check
that they were all turned off by going into the system applet of
control panel & then clicking 'advanced settings' & then
'performance'.

Lastly, be certain you're not using any NVDA addons at this point, &,
if you are, then please disable them & see if that works if these
other measures don't. If that proves to be a problem, then you can try
readding them 1 by 1 until the culprit causes the machine to bog down
again.

HTH. Good luck.

I posted this in the NVDA chat list, and was advised to post it here in the
main list:

I just got a new computer. Ando had issues with the initial setup, like when
the computer first turned on the very first time and it was asking me to get
things set up, and it had voice already- I guess it was narrator, it would
stop responding and had to keep restarting multiple times. And then when
setup process was finished I have had the following issue. Not sure if I
should contact someone, and if so who. Or is there something that is just
related to NVDA or what.
Help and ideas are greatly appreciated. I got this computer through Walmart,
by the way.

I am pasting the info of the computer I got. And hoping someone could help
me figure out what to do. NVDA is installed and I have had problems. A lot
of the time NVDA just doesn’t talk or it responds very very slowly, for
example I press tab or down arrow on a website, or on desktop or wherever
and after 7-8seconds it speaks next line or item...
also, when this happens I have only one application running, or it’s on
desktop and have nothing open.
Ideas??

Here’s the computer-
