Re: Win10 system restore
I just wrote elsewhere that one should never trust System Protection as a primary "recovery" method. It's great when it works, but very often multiple restore points will fail to restore.
Anyone using a computer these days that has a concern about being able to roll back or recover data should be using a third-party (per Microsoft's own recommendation) full system image backup and recovery solution, preferably to two different external backup drives that one alternates between with each backup. Even if you're using only one external backup drive, but storing it somewhere likely protected from any real disaster like fire or flood, that might befall your computer itself you're on far better footing than trusting System Protection. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

FireFox Issues Concluded
David Russell
Hello Brian, Gene and others,
Just to alert, I did a system restore after downloading FF-60.4 because I could not read emails being composed, and navigating the computer itself required a couple added steps that didn't always work. I found the email address to Intopia, and resent request for the name of the accessibility group they had recommended I contact based in Texas. A Ricky Onsman replied and the group is called Nobility.org. I will phone them as the email address provided did not work. As to WaterFox, either the domain waterfox.com is for sale, or they somehow want to verify who is at their site. I got a message saying something wanted to make changes to my computer. I didn't go along. So at the moment, am on FF-52 and seeking advisement on where to turn for a better browser that won't screw things up. Thanks. -- David Russell david.sonofhashem@gmail.com

Re: Need help scanning books
Gene
I should say that I haven't looked into scanners
for years. Last I knew and from comments I saw on a list perhaps a year or
two ago, Epson is still well thought of among blind users of OCR.

Re: Need help scanning books

There is no Kurzweil scanner. Kurzweil sells
OCr programs.
As I said, if you don't care if the binding of
books is bent, Epson scans well.
I assume you are already using
an OCR program.

Re: Win10 system restore
Gene
It just sounds like odd things that may happen with
System Restore. I once had all my restore points disappear from my Windows
7 machine. it never happened again. I don't know why it would happen
every few weeks that all your restore points disappear and System restore is a
lot more reliable than it was in Windows XP but I still don't completely trust
it. There may be a third party utility you may want to use or try or
you may want to create drive clones at times so you can revert. I don't
know enough to discuss cloning more.

Re: a freezing issue

Hi All I have a client who is using the latest version of NVDA on a Windows 10 Laptop with Office 2016. The client is reasonably proficient with using NVDA and reports that when attempting to use the "SAY ALL" ( INSERT+DOWN ARROW ) in word, Outlook, notepad various other programs, that the command fails to read to the end of the Page or Document from the currently focused point. The client states it will usually read to the end of the line, sentence, or paragraph and that repeating the command will prompt NVDA to continue reading but again not to the end as expected. This issue is reported to me as having been occurring for approximately 4 to 6 weeks, So has survived several system reboots. I have ensured via phone that the client is using the latest version and currently there are no updates available for the client. I have been unable to reproduce this issue on a test system or my work system with the latest version or the previous versions of NVDA. Reset to factory defaults would be the next obvious step but I would like to know if this is a known issue or if there is some way of resolving this without a reset to defaults. Any advice or assistance is greatly appreciated.

You can use the version you are using now for e-mail and you can use the current version, run as a portable version for general browsing. I haven't had problems with the current version of Firefox as far as accessibility is concerned. I assume you know that older versions of browsers are more vulnerable to security exploits that allow malicious sites to download malware and do other things to compromise your machine and steal personal information. That's why I am advising that you use a portable current version for general browsing and the 52.x version for e-mail. You don't need to join another group to do this. Many people on the list use portable Firefox and can give you information. I'm not saying you shouldn't join the group you are discussing, there's nothing wrong with having more resources if you want them, I'm saying for what I am discussing, you can get all the information you need here.
