is that the ribbon or non ribbon version?
Personally, I do not like Live mail. I had no end of crashes with it.
I am back on the old Outlook Express again on 7, but I do feel the original person who asked this question probably would prefer what they are used to, ie tbird, and its just a problem of figuring out why its not working.

Yes take the cheap route, just tirm he computer off and leave it off, very safe and costs nothing.. grin
I do feel we are losing our way. Most of the exploits are aimed at people not exploits.
Obviously they will need to patch holes, but expecting anti virus systems to protect from everything is really impossible in my view. The more they try to find everything the more they slow the computer down and trigger false positives, and of course since everyone except Microsoft seem to have designed their front ends inaccessibly, there is no hope for us.
That is my reading of the current situation. I'll let you know when my completely unprotected amd chipped xp machines get clobbered. Probably not for a long while unless I'm very unlucky.

This sounds like it has nothing to do with the client. I know lots of people using Tbird on 32 bit versions of 7 with no problems at all. I think we need to dig a little deeper into this before throwing away the existing bathwater, as it were.
How many accounts do you have. are they all affected. Do you have the same set ups on both machines and have you told the servers to keep copies on the server so you can download to both. if both sending and receiving are affected. has it ever worked? If yes could the firewall be stopping it? Anti virus maybe?
What errors do you see?

Is this the store version of the new version or the store version of any version, if you get my drift, as from some of the comments in github recently it seemed to be being stated a version was up already.
Not that I myself care, not running 10 on my own machine. A wise move from what I've heard from friends of mine.
Incidentally 10s seems to be being abandoned in favour of the full windows with an S mode available as an option.

Re: where can I get an older version of NVDA?

Sandra Pilz
 

Hi Quentin,


I, too, would be interested in a copy of NVDA 2017.4, because the classic Handy-Tech driver, available as an addon, doesn't work with the current version of NVDA. I know that NVDA has integrated a newer Driver. However, the current driver is not able to reconnect automatically and reliably when the display looses connection. The old driver, made available by HandyTech as an addon, would reconnect in less than a second. Currently, a disconnect occurs about every five minutes, and I would like to return to NVDA 2017.4 so that I can use the old driver via the HandyTech Classic addon again.

Braille support in Google Sheets with NVDA 2018.1

Sylvie Duchateau
 

Hello Quentin and all,
I have screen reader support enabled, braille support enabled in Google docs.
Unfortunately, I still cannot find any option in the Google Sheets settings, to enable Braille Support.
In their help section Google say:
"Turn on Braille support
1. Open a Docs file on your computer: 
•Docs, Slides, or Drawings: Open the file in Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer.
•Sheets: Braille support in Sheets is available on Chrome OS with the ChromeVox screen reader. Please make sure that you have the latest versions of Chrome OS and ChromeVox. We’re working to add support for other platforms and screen readers.
2. If you haven't already turned on screen reader support for the Docs editors, press Ctrl + Alt + z (Windows) or ⌘ + Option + z (Mac).
3. In the Accessibility menu, select Settings.
4. Select Enable Braille support.
If you turn Braille support on in Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Drawings, the setting applies whenever you sign in to any of these editors."
See: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6057417?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
On this page, https://venturebeat.com/2018/01/09/google-adds-braille-support-to-sheets-magnifier-tool-to-slides-and-drawings/
they say:
"Braille displays can already be used to read and edit texts in Docs, Slides, and Drawings. With the added support for Sheets, users will now be able to read and edit cell contents, as well as navigate between cells on a sheet. According to Google’s blog post, this will only be available on Chrome OS with the ChromeVox screen reader, for now. The company says it is working to add support for other platforms and screen readers."
So I thought that with this announcement on what's new in NVDA, the support would work, but it still does not here.
Thank you for any information you can find.
Best
Sylvie

Hi Sylvie,

I must admit I need to test this more myself, but reading: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6057417?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en it indicates you need to enable screen reader support, and then enable braille support as well in Google sheets itself.  It also gives a little info on using the routing keys on the display to navigate.

Let me know whether that does or doesn't help!

On that note, what steps can we do to reduce false positives exactly.

Issue, just about every blind related thing bgt excluded since that can't be helped as such because of its design is being flagged as a virus, excluding things does help, but there are old vb6 programs saying this, is there anything say a user can do, ie create an exclude list of things they can share, or have some dictionary of programs or something one could upload somewhere, there are just so many false alarms.

Re: Anti Virus Program

Gene
 

You may get information if you ask here about how to use the program.  Are you using Windows 10, Windows 7 or Windows 8?  For Windows 7, you should use Microsoft Security Essentials.  If Windows 10, Windows Defender.  I'm not sure about Windows 8.  But the program, whichever you use, should be able to be used.  I know Microsoft Security Essentials is.  If you don't understand the interface, it can be explained.  I haven't used Windows Defender but I know people are using it.
 
Aside from that, I don't know what other programs are available now that are accessible, or reasonably so. 
 
These programs are much better than Clamwin.  They have improved over the last two years and, while not considered really good, are considered adequate by reviewers I've read.  I'm not saying you should use these programs.  I'm saying that they are considered adequate by the reviews I've read recently and also that if you have a problem with a program, if you ask about it rather than just assume it isn't usable, you may find that it is.

Re: CAVI is offering free audio editing classes

Hello, my name is Andrew. I took one of the last courses at CAVI Reaper & Goldwave. I
will say that the instructors are top notch. I had three instructors, one left in the
middle of the course. Management had decided that you listen to a podcast and have a
Q&A session if anything heard in podcast was not clear.
I enjoyed learning Reaper and learning it with others who sought to know about Reaper.
I and others saw the flaw in their podcast and Q&A style and I'm sure that's why
enrollment numbers suffered.
I paid $250.00 for the course they are now giving away for free. Andrew

Subject: Re: [nvda] CAVI is offering free audio editing classes

I have attended their introduction to computer courses Way back in 2005 and 2006 They
were worthwhile doing Lectures were quite casually delivered For people in real needs
are used to be scholarships for the course Regards Ian On 9 Mar 2018, at 1:04 pm, Vlad

Hello all,

First of all, thanks to the initial poster. Without you, I would have never known about
this site.

Second, has anyone attended any courses of this Cavi school? On one hand, the idea of
accessible courses seems fantastic, I'm particularly interested in their computer
related programmes. On the other hand, the site seems a little bit abandoned, there are
contradictions on different pages, especially when it comes to availability, the newest
pages are from 2017. Besides, their prices aren't as affordable as they pretend, at
least from my very personal prospective. Financially, it would be a big effort for me.
I might be in a minority here, so I do apologise for this last thought, but if they
offered real discounts, I believe they'd have much more students. Let's face it, the
blind are rarely rich, unless their names are Stevie Wonder or Andrea Bocelli. If
NVAccess can offer NVDA for free and keep existing through donnations, why not
CiscoVision? I humbly admit it, I have much more respect for NVAccess and their
generous model, and enthusiastically became a monthly donner recently.

Sorry again, this isn't exactly related to NVDA, but I thought I'd pop in with these
very unobjective remarks. Thanks for reading.

Best,

Vlad.

Hi Chris,

Are you unhappy with the new version? We know it's not perfect, but I'd be
keen to hear of anything that behaves worse than in the previous version?

Regards

Quentin.

Re: Anti Virus Program

I thought clamwin wasn't that good tests wize, also there is no on demand module.

But if it is, then I guess all I'd need to do is scan my downloads but hmmph.

Try Clamwin antivirus. it's effective, small, portable and free.

You know this has popped up so much and I have decided that there just isn't anymore.

Avast could have been a great program.

Nod32 was accessible up to a point, it aint now, vipre maybe, panda antivirus maybe.

Sophos.

To be honest the fact so many lagit programs are being mistargeted, forcing users like me to have to basically leave vast parts of the os open to attack is a problem.

Some users have gone so far to exclude their drives from scanning and that does in deed fix things.

On my new system I am just going to have to exclude my backup drive from scanning because I just don't trust what windows defender will do.

As for the rest, I will have to restructure my drive, and exclude all audio games, all portable apps, all apps,  all user installed programs the only things I will leave with programs in it are windows and ms programs and my downloads folder and maybe make a folder for unprocessed files and exclude that.

Basically to use my system securely I will have to exclude pritty much half my c drive in order to not run into problems.

I may as well not use antivirus alltogether, but I have no choice, there are just to many false positives to handle.

tried free version of AVG. Setup was difficult and I was not able to control anything the program did after installation.

Is there anything better I could try?
