I don't remember, but doe Open Office work with the current version of
NVDA? Thanks.

I have Adobe Digital  Editions 4.5 on a Windows  7 machine. I am a sighted user. With or without NVDA, the only way I could select text in an epub was using the mouse (and not getting voice feedback from NVDA in the process).  I could not locate a keyboard method to select text.

Well to be honest I'd just reinstall windows.

hitman is made by sophos now.

I am still searching for a good antivirus, I'd prefur not to pay
expensive subscriptions for something that may or may not stay
accessible though.

And if it is accessible, I want it to be msse accessible in other
words, I want it to fully work with either an addon or not.

Thats the way its going to have to be.

Msse is good access wize, but protection wize well I want something
that is easy to put exclusions for blind games and the like, I want
something I can control and configure easily and I want something
which performs and does not bog down the system or add extra unwanted
things.

I also want to trust my security program and not have to bother withit
unless I need to msse does that.

I need something with a accessible interface that uses standard
controls, etc.

If it needs to be a subscription for my 3 pc network and maybe others
I want something low cost to.

An entire suite will be nice I guess but its not needed.

Maybe files have been unregistered by the program but I'd be worried
that files have been removed.  Does the program quaranteen files or
just remove them?

Also, does the person have system restore points from before the
problem started?
And if files have been removed that are Windows files, not just
unregistered, and if no restore points are available from before the
time the problem started, is there a way to repair Windows that will
restore the files?  I don't know enough about repairing Windows or
having Windows replace missing files to comment further.

Hi Gene,




I think I know what's happened. While at my friend's house we updated
her hitman pro antivirus to the latest version and all seemed to work
well until I went into firefox.  I'm testing the same set of
scenarios on my system here at home and have gotten the exact same
problems that she has. I've sent the information on to my sighted
partner and between the 2 of us we should be able to straighten
things out. We will also put together a piece on this and send it to
the folks who make the antivirus program to let them know that this
happens.

I see they were for windows 7 and 8 and 10 and there were some
patches but i think they were for 7 and 8?




   hopefully they get it sorted. If or when it fixes it get them to

Hey Gene,


Thanks for this information mate. Because registry editing may come into
play, I explained what was happening in Firefox to my partners earlier
today. I've sent them the stuff you gave me and we will give the
solutions a try. I'll keep you posted on how things workout.

This is what i just copied off it and there looks to be a reg patch but
think it is for windows 7 or 8.


8. On Windows 10 (both 32 and 64 bit), also enter the following command:
c:\windows\system32\regsvr32

Hi tony


can you tell me if nvda is doing any of the following? In all browsers
is he saying unknown or will not speak the contents of the web page? did
the page fully load try the f5 key to do this or use the nvda key + f5
key and see if it plays nicely?

Does he work in microsoft edge and read out the contents?


Down on the running application area on the task bar does nvda speak any
of the programs there?


When you hit the applications key does nvda speak any of the menus as
you arrow down it?


If you are running mozilla thunder bird does it say unknown as you tab
into it or try to get to messages or the menus it would be the same for
mozilla fire fox.

howdy mates

for some reason nVDA and firefox are having quite a time getting along
with each other now.  When web pages come up you get the announcement
that the page is up, however, nothing else works. Tabbing through the
page for links, browse mode keystrokes, everything appears to be shot.
Does anyone know what happened, and a fix for it if there is one?  Very
strange indeed.  using the latest versions of both windows 10 pro and
NVda.

I don't know if any screen-readers allow you to do this.  But that’s one example of why the find command is so useful and so underused.  Is there a word in the logo that is distinctive?  If so, do an NVDA search for it after the page loads.  The search command is very useful in other ways.  Say, for example, you go to a newspaper site and a section you want to read is named Editorials and it’s a link.  Use the screen-reader find command to search for edito.  You don't need to write the full word usually when doing a search.  The first four or five letters of a word that isn't likely to be found elsewhere on the page is sufficient.  This is a case where you wuld use five letters because four, edit, would cause the search to stop on words like editor if present. 

Hi Everyone,

Can you help me with this issue.

I am trying to focus screen reader on a logo (or some other specific html element) of a web-page upon loading it first time.

How can I be sure that screen reader will start on some element every time.

Thanks in advance,

Hi, Scott,

Thanks for the tip on creating a desktop shortcut for microsoft edge. I tried doing it the way I was used to doing it in other programs by typing "edge" in the start search box and using the applications key but that didn't work. Thanks again for this tip.

Rosemarie

Hi Anthony.

1: press windows key and r for the run dialogue

2: Type shell:appsfolder and hit enter

3: When the list of programs pops up use first letter navigation letter m until you hear Microsoft edge.

4: Hit the context menu key or shift f 10.

5: Arrow until you find create shortcut and hit enter.

6: You will be told that the shortcut can not be created here and it will ask you if you want to place it on the desktop instead.

7: Tab to the yes button and hit enter.

And there you go.

Note: you can name the newly created icon anything you want.

I hope this helps.

Have a nice day

Hi,

I tried to install NVDA17.3 on my HP laptop and although I could
download the new version without any difficulty and also after
clicking to install it when I got the message to do so the configuring
progress went on and on for at least 20 minutes and after that I got
an error message saying that the installation failed. I tried the
same thing three times with the same result. Could someone please
enlighten me as to what is happening and how I could remedy the same.

Incidentally I had no problem updating NVDA on my second laptop which
is an Asus. Both laptops are running Win 10 duly updated to the
latest version. On the second laptop the installation took only a few
minutes and there was no problem at all.

I give below the log I received for the installation failure. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Akbar

Hello

I personally, am ok with the new nvda sounds,

New; but still a nice change,

This is just my opinion,
Arvind

This message is transmitted on 100% recycled electrons.

In nvda I see the save configuration option I have used this however I do
not know where it says to so that I can make a backup copy. What I am
looking is to save all of my settings such as voice speech and rate so that
if I have another computer crash I can use that settings that I have saved
off of my computer and put everything back to the way I want. Return Cindy

Never mind, I discovered that it is because the say "cap" before capital letters was turned off.

Hi,




I am using NVDA 2017-3 with Windows 10 Creator's version. I am using the laptop keyboard configuration.





I just noticed that when typing no cap letters are being honored. I tried it in emails under Thunderbird and on the command prompt. I can try it in other places too if needed.




It does honor the shift state when typing other kinds of characters like parentheses or dollar sign and the like. Just not letters.





Any idea what to do about this?

Brian, I don't use windows 10, so don't know how it does it's moving thing, but you could try changing the attributes of the various files in the directory in question to be read only. That might prevent windows from moving it away from it's functional location. Failing that, you may be able to use a batch file to copy it back to it's proper position, and add the registry keys (if any) back so that it will behave properly. Having never tried such a thing, I don't know how successful it would be, but I do know you can add registry entries from batch files, I have done that much, but never tried changing attributes to prevent windows from breaking things.

It may be worth a try though.

Bear in mind my need for Usenet groups.
I am currently using Outlook Express, the original version with the extra code sold by a third party so it can run on later versions of windows, like 7 8 and 10.
However if used in the latter operating system, every time Microsoft do one of their updates it trashes Outlook express and puts it into a folder with other non working stuff.
OK you can reinstall it, but then you have to set it up and import oll the accounts signatures and messages contacts from wherever they went.
It occurred to me that it may well be possible to protect it from this treatment after all we do not want to all be using the silly new mail client that fails again in nvda every time an update happens.
Anyone know of any forum or piece of code that can preserve settings of old programs and put them back or protect them from Windows 10 draconian attempts to improve things worse for us?
Obviously any such routine or work around has, in itself to be accessible to nvda, which is why I'm asking here.
