Re: a newcomer, who is seemingly lost
Gene
III don't see why NVDA used another sound
card. Did you, at some time, tell JAWS to use a specific sound card,
different than the one it was using? If so, that explains the
problem. Ordinarily, everything should use the default sound card unless
instructed to do otherwise. You can use two sound cards, a lot of blind
people do, including me, at times. Just as with JAWS, you can tell NVDA to
use whichever soundcard you want it to use.

Re: sapi5 eloquence
David Griffith
The Sapi 5 version is also sold by code Factory – to prevent crackling in that Sapi 5 version and increase responsiveness you need to turn off any sound enhancements you may have running in your soundcard driver. You do this from withing the sounds applet in Control Panel. I think people have reported on this list that the NVDA addon is not responsive to this fix though it definitely helped mee run the Sapi 5 version.

Re: a newcomer, who is seemingly lost
Could be anything from hardware to software.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Its why when I get a problem like this, unless I need to try to peal back layers if its to deep I start from 0, and start writing notes. First the issue, do tests see where things stand. Then its time to get dirty. You can try this yourself, but the procedure is long. In first place, go to device manager and see what your sound card is, you may have a corrupted driver, if its realtech you can search for that and just install that though be aware that the latest 2.82 release has a non working control panel so for those of us without the unlocked cards, luckily my desktops and laptops have unlocked cards so I don't need the control panel at all, but on my laptop I do maintain it just doesn't work and I will have to get the latest drivers from the makers. That may work. Next, try to make another account in the users control panel, and if it works transfer all your documents and stuff over to it by coppying your documents, videos, pictures and music folders over plus any other folders you have in your user folder over that are not app folders like appdata, etc or any file in the root of that folder and delete the old account, should take you 30 minutes. Its possible this is all your having. In which case, stop reading. We can move on though. next using firefox or internet explorer go to www.pcpitstop.com/betapit and do a test. They really want you to buy software to fix your issue and they fail you on the internet buffers thing but its not important, you need to look at any other warnings you get, oh you can forget about fragmentation and caches and things like this. Don't bother with making an account you don't need it. If there is any basic issue that should pop it up. Next, search for and get speedfan, and install it, there should be a menu or tab somewhere that talks about hard disks, select each internal drive you have and perform an online test and see if there are any problems. Completely unrelated but we need to check for everything, I have never checked temps of hardware but you could go into that later if you had to. Next get belarc adviser, you need this especially if its a desktop, get your mutherboard number well at least model and just type that in to google and get the mnufacturer of your box, search for drivers, bios, etc and where needed maybe with sight update as needed. At this point you are probably about done, being updated should be done. Malware scan and antivirus scan if you want defrag and do chkdsks on the disk if you want. Clear your junk with disk cleanup. All this is really basic, Next, check all your software you have, some of it may need updating, maybe you should uninstall jaws and see if it comes back and reinstall it again. Finally note down what software, runtimes, etc you have from your programs list and see what you need and do not need. For me, thats windows, java, flash, shockwave, codec packs, drivers ofcause, windows ofcause, office if needed, gps software if needed, itunes icloud, google sync software if needed, runtimes for visual studio and vb6, directx and my software I use, That being cdbxp, goldwave, audacity, abby fine reader, adobe dc, nvda,supernova sr. Out of all that, the runtimes, the packs, java, all adobe software, ccleaner, 7zip, and cdbxp are standard features I load on everything. Every system I maintain has a subset of the programs with some of that huge list above. But you may not remember what you have, some of it may be out dated, some not used, some you were doodling with, loads of issues and I think I left out my tts packages of which I have 2. Now, its time to get dirty. I'd try to clean out your desktop if you can with compresser or something of dust maybe check your connections while at it. Next its time to get dirty. If you get sighted help do a reset of your bios and check its all supposed to be ok I have had it where not all settings were saved after an update and that some settings do not always save right. Next, A full reformat and the system is ready to use. Now in steps at least for me, I do the following. Install windows, extra optional features if needed, runtimes, directx, slim dx, java, codec packs, software players like vlc, my reader nvda, ccleaner, 7zip and cdbxp. Install all addons I need. Install all updates I need. Then stop and look at my list. Install extras I need depending on the system. Test and run the system for a day with the stuff loaded. Load everything else you would usually use from your list, updating and testing as you go. By now you should have your software loaded. If in this step something screws up, note that down and restore the system to a time just before that run then keep going. Note you shouldn't have issues with this if its a basic package, I pole for basic non automatic updates every 6 months or so. But if you have a problem at this point it means you may need an update, the issue is solved by updating the software or reporting the issue and getting a fix. With my realtech issue I reported it to realtech, they havn't responded sadly but oh well. I tried. The next is to see what else could be it, chances are you won't know till you do something along the line and it popps up. Have you checked your cabling, do other sounds play. To be honest it sounds like the soundcard/user account issue I had in january with a system service. In this scenario, the user had just managed to clear out an infection/ corruption on his server. The issue was partly to do with a dead wireless card and security device which didn't work due to incompatability due to age. As a result updates never updated right, things got in and drivers got corrupted. I firstly reinstalled the corrupted drivers. Next, I made a new account which worked and transfered all the files to it then killed the old account and files. Meanwhile I was ordering a new wireless card and security device which came the next day. I installed them and reports from the user not only have shown that things are working but that the performance is better. In this scenario, I was able via device manager and via add remove programs were able to find the drivers were dammaged. I also saw uncompleted updates, unfinnished scans and a lot of extra mangling consistant with a bad connection to the net. A lot of the tools that should have protected things had simply shut down because they couldn't connect at all. After cleaning part of the user account was dammaged. A search on google for the ralink devices found them discontinued and the company gone. I was able to source locally and quickly a d link wireless card and install it though sadly I got the wrong size but it works. All in all a happy time. But it may not be like this it rarely ever is. Then again that may exactly be the issue. Usually if an issue is so hard to solve over the phone I usually if local get the system to my address and look at it there. 9 times out a million I find the issue. Or it maybe a different issue unrelated and again I fix that issue. I may simply not find an issue to fix or can't find an issue that I can solve myself. Or it maybe not on the system but infrastructure round it. I have often come through this but often after looking for updates and updating things if it doesn't work, a full reformat and really slow rebuild finds outdated things non used modules and other things. Most of which I have, forgot to update or simply there are new versions out that fix the issue. Chances are that I never saw these so myself and others are out of date, and I can update as needed. Usually if its hardware I don't touch it though.

Re: New Skype Installation a Complete Disaster!
Gene
I'm not being unfair. I don't object to Zara
using XP and I didn't say I do. I made my comments because Zara said she
doesn't use any antimalware programs because she doesn't trust any of
them. In addition to her statement, I know from other messages that she is
using XP and she is using a version of Firefox that isn't receiving security
updates. One security risk piled on another piled on another. If
Zara has JAVA scripts disabled, that will give her a good deal of protection on
the Internet. But in today's security environment, not using antimalware
protection is, to understate the case, a very bad idea.

Re: Serious issue with last two NVDA snapshots

I cannot find the original report of this thread, but I have had no issues with recent snaps on 64 bit machines. Maybe some dependency has been removed. Often if you are updating though the old file is still present and its only when a new copy in a completely deleted installation is made that problems in add ons show up that were masked before.

I feel you are being a little unfair. I have no issue with people wanting to use older systems, but I do feel that it does pay to know the risks. There will always be niche users, but XP is still being used by one heck of a lot of people out there, despite all you say. its a fact, I see it every day and its exactly why I keep a couple of machines running it here to just see what state the choices of what you can use are in now.

It's unfortunate you have such a well developed ability to ignore facts and real situations and possibilities. Malware can attack your computer without you doing anything incorrect. there is a growing problem of malware infesting hacked ads even on the most reputable sites. So you trust malware makers not to attack your computer without your knowledge more than you trust reputable malware companies to gibve you some amount of meaningful protection? There are malware program manufacturers that are reputable and very highly thought of. Not trusting anyone in the context you speak of is irrational and ignores well established facts. And to make matters worse, you are using a vulnerable version of Windows and an an increasingly aging browser that won't have any security updates for XP users in about six months if you use the ESR version. You are also not using the ESR version as far as I know which means your browser is increasingly vulnerable because it hasn't received updates in quite some time. Are you at least disabling JAVA scripts unless they are needed? That will give you quite a bit of protection on the Internet.

Re: a newcomer, who is seemingly lost

Since the person hasn't responded who wrote about
the problem, his screen name is The Wolf, I'll say that this problem may or may
not be what I thought it likely was but here is something you can try if you are
currently running JAWS 2018. It is a message he sent the list two or three
weeks ago. You can have as many copies of JAWS on your machine as you wish
so you can try this and see if it solves the problem. If not, you can try
other things others have suggested. I'm not optimistic about this trial
and error method but you never know. But doing what is discussed in the
below quoted message is easy and if it solves the problem, you can just leave
two copies of JAWS on your machine. I think that if you install another
copy of JAWS, you will have to create a short cut command such as control j for
whatever version you want to be able to run in that way. I believe that if
you have a current shortcut, it will be removed but you will have to check about
that.
Also, you may have to reset the run before boot up
and whatever other commands there are that are relevant. But I wouldn't
have JAWS 2018 run for now. I wouldn't run it either during testing.
Just have JAWS 18 run. Then see if you can run NVDA. Try running the
NVDA.exe file while JAWS 18 is running. If it doesn't run, you can see if
there is an error message. If it runs, you will either have two
screen-readers running at once or the NVDA installer will be smart enough to
unload JAWS when the talking installer is ready to talk.
The message is below my signature.

Hello just for the hell of it I installed jaws 18
along with jaws 2018 and now the nvda doesn't give me the error

not sure if installing jaws 18 fixed the jaws 2018

need to send a nvda log with the error that it was giving me
something screwy is conflicting I mean I got the
issue fixed for now but I need to see if I am the only one having this issue if
not then I think a bug needs to be filed.

After you have downloaded nvda to your computer and located the file say nvda 2017.4 then you click or press the enter key on the file. It may come up with a security message if it does go to the run button i think it isthen press the enter key on it. NVDA should start up with a musical type of tune and the first part is the documentation you can arrown down and up this section to read after that tab to a check box then press the space bar to agree to it. Tab again it will then give you 3 options. one to install to your pc, the second to make a portable copy for a usb stick and the third to run as a temporary copy. Most people would choose the first option and install it to your computer. Just follow the directions to install it. If a UAC screen comes up say yes to it the shortcut key is I think alt key + Y or you can simply tab to itand say yes. it should then keep on stalling to your pc and is very quick. When it gets installed if you are using the desktop version same for laptop use the alt + ctrl + letter N to start your copy of nvda to get into the preferences of nvda use the nvda key + letter N then arrow to the different sections like the user manual under the help section etc to turn off nvda use the nvda key +letter Q Where i refer to the nvda key this is a modifier key and can be the insrt key the extended insert key or the capslock key. Depending which one you choose say to turn off nvda for example would be the insert key + letter Q By the way which operating system are you using as support for xp and vista was dropped and the latest version of nvda for that is nvda 2017.3 If you have a windows 7 machine and up it doesnot matter but go for the latest nvda.NVDA will work on 8 and 10 also.

Today I uninstalled JAWS 2018 completely thinking that perhaps its presence had been the preventing force, heretofore. I then installed the latest version of NVDA (at least I believe I did), and received no response from the program, at all. Then, I reinstalled JAWS 2018, and then unloaded it from memory and launched NVDA. At that juncture, NVDA was apparently working because I could no longer navigate using the numpad instead of the traditional arrow keys, but the voice I was hearing was that of eloquence, not the default voice that I believe comes with NVDA. In addition to installing NVDA today, I also installed the drivers and the voices for some alternative voices, but again, these don't appear to be functional, at all. So what is wrong? My thought is that my anti virus program, AVG, is interfering to one degree or another; but the most significant problem is, that absent JAWS and its speech engine, NVDA does not work. One other thing: I was under the impression that NVDA was equipped with a talking installer. I did not find anyway to load that, nor to benefit from it, of course. Now I just removed JAWS from memory again, and tried to load NVDA, and received no response. So I may have been wrong earlier, when I said that I was seemingly navigating with NVDA using the traditional arrows while JAWS was removed from memory; rather, I suspect JAWS needs to be running in order for a semblance of NVDA to appear I guess my basic question is this: why won't NVDA run on its own??

Version 18.02.1 emergency patch for Windows 10 App Essentils and StationPlaylist Studio add-ons posted
#addonrelease
Hi everyone,
The following bulletin is applicable for people using recent NVDA next snapshots. For those running master snapshots or 2017.4 (or older releases), you can ignore this:
For people using Windows 10 App Essentials and/or StationPlaylist Studio: when add-on updates appear and after saying “yes”, NVDA may play an error sound and add-on won’t be updated. This is caused by changes to NVDA’s own update downer as part of changes in recent NVDA next snapshots. An emergency patch is now available to correct this problem, and you need to apply this manually.
To apply this patch:
To check which version of NVDA you’ve got, go to NVDA menu/Help/About. If the version text is of the form “next-xxxxx,hash”, then this patch is applicable to you.
Important note for SPL add-on users using 15.x LTS releases: no update at this time, so you can ignore this.
Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience. Cheers, Joseph

NVDA should start up with a musical type of tune and the first part is the documentation you can arrown down and up this section to read after that tab to a check box then press the space bar to agree to it. Tab again it will then give you 3 options. one to install to your pc, the second to make a portable copy for a usb stick and the third to run as a temporary copy. Most people would choose the first option and install it to your computer. Just follow the directions to install it. If a UAC screen comes up say yes to it the shortcut key is I think alt key + Y or you can simply tab to itand say yes. it should then keep on stalling to your pc and is very quick. When it gets installed if you are using the desktop version same for laptop use the alt + ctrl + letter N to start your copy of nvda to get into the preferences of nvda use the nvda key + letter N then arrow to the different sections like the user manual under the help section etc to turn off nvda use the nvda key +letter Q Where i refer to the nvda key this is a modifier key and can be the insrt key the extended insert key or the capslock key. Depending which one you choose say to turn off nvda for example would be the insert key + letter Q By the way which operating system are you using as support for xp and vista was dropped and the latest version of nvda for that is nvda 2017.3 If you have a windows 7 machine and up it doesnot matter but go for the latest nvda.NVDA will work on 8 and 10 also.

Today I uninstalled JAWS 2018 completely thinking that perhaps its presence had been the preventing force, heretofore. I then installed the latest version of NVDA (at least I believe I did), and received no response from the program, at all. Then, I reinstalled JAWS 2018, and then unloaded it from memory and launched NVDA. At that juncture, NVDA was apparently working because I could no longer navigate using the numpad instead of the traditional arrow keys, but the voice I was hearing was that of eloquence, not the default voice that I believe comes with NVDA. In addition to installing NVDA today, I also installed the drivers and the voices for some alternative voices, but again, these don't appear to be functional, at all. So what is wrong? My thought is that my anti virus program, AVG, is interfering to one degree or another; but the most significant problem is, that absent JAWS and its speech engine, NVDA does not work. One other thing: I was under the impression that NVDA was equipped with a talking installer. I did not find anyway to load that, nor to benefit from it, of course. Now I just removed JAWS from memory again, and tried to load NVDA, and received no response. So I may have been wrong earlier, when I said that I was seemingly navigating with NVDA using the traditional arrows while JAWS was removed from memory; rather, I suspect JAWS needs to be running in order for a semblance of NVDA to appear I guess my basic question is this: why won't NVDA run on its own?? In advance, Many thanks.
