Re: Using an External Numpad
Gene
I wonder if it depends on the numpad. What
brand or brands did you buy and do you know the models?
Also, do you have to connect them at any particular time
such as before bootup or before running NvDA?

Re: Accessable antivirus program

You can make it accessible by turning protective
mode off if you want to make the program more vulnerable to attack in
exchange. NVDA can read information from the program. But I don't
know if the program is accessible enough as such even after you get it to
read. I haven't kept up with new versions for a good while.
What version of Windows are you using?

#addonrelease Please advise a good antivirus for Windows with an accessible interface for screenreaders. I'm currently using "Avast Internet Security", but it is completely inaccessible to NVDA. Thank you for any advices! Oleksandr, Ukraine

Re: Please your advice with an extended Winamp
Gene
Try an earlier version of NVDA running as a
portable version. I suspect the add-on isn't compatible with that version
of NVDA. I don't know what the last compatible version is, but go back
maybe one or two versions and see what happens.
I'm not sure if there is a page to download old versions
of Winamp but as far as I know, there is a way to do so even if they aren't
publicly shown on the NVDA site. Others may know how it is
done.

Amen to that. If we have to pay for a Microsoft account or sign up for one when we upgrade to ten. Why not use the anti virus that is built in? That’s how it should be! Then nobody has to fork out money just for an anti virus program. I’ll use what’s here on this system.

Dear friends, thank you all for the answers!
Yes, I use Windows 10 and out of habit from the old days, I installed third-party antivirus software. But judging by your answers, now we can completely trust our security to Microsoft products. It seems that this is really the best solution for us today. Thanks again to everyone! Good luck to everyone and congratulations on the upcoming holidays!

If you're still on Windows 7, now is the time to upgrade to Windows 10, as it's barely over 1 month until it falls out of support. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor. ~ Robert Frost, The Black Cottage (1914)

Re: Using an External Numpad
Luke Davis
Can you tell me the brands and maybe even model numbers?
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
From the research I've been doing in the last couple hours, it seems to be that most external numpads just send the keyboard version of the number-row scancodes, not the numpad version. Therefore Windows has no way of knowing that there is a separate keyboard involved. Some of the really expensive stuff, like Leopold brand (but not all of them) appear to send the correct sequences, but most of the cheap stuff apparently doesn't, or it's a crap shoot at any rate. But, I'm not paying over $100 for a number pad. Luke
