Re: problem with the newest chrome

Gene
 

I said you can't stop chrome updating but evidently you can.  If you set UAc to its highest level, you can say no when it asks you to allow Chrome to update.  You will have to do this at some point after you start Chrome, probably every time you start it.  However, it may not be worth the risk.  Some Windows users, particularly of Windows 10 though evidently now and then in earlier versions, have had a problem where the yes button disappears from UAC.  If you set UAC to 100, this the results of the problem are evidently far more serious than if they are set at the default level.  Also, it isn't a good idea to run old versions of browsers for security reasons. 
 
It would be better to use a different browser such as Firefox until this problem is resolved.  And, since it may be that Chrome breaks things in upgrades related to accessibility more than Firefox, using Firefox in general might be preferred.
 
However, I don't know what problem you are describing.  I am using the latest release version of Chrome 52.x, and I have no problem working with or seeing everything in Google searches.  Are you using the nonbeta program or a beta?

Chrome automatically updates itself and the user can't stop it.  Use Firefox for sites where you have this problem.  It isn't clear to me what the problem is.  Is the problem that when you do a search such as a google search, you don't see the links in the results displayed as clickable links or you don't see the address of the sites in the results showing where the result leads?

One of the things I soon learned was to keep archives of older versions of
software so one could back track if things got broken. For the moment all
you can do is tell  The Chrome team and nvda team about any issues and  back
track to the earlier viersion until its been fixed.

Re: audioScreen.add on for nvda

Hi,

I have used this add-on with a touch screen. You need to understand the sound schema and once you do that, you will be able to interpret the shapes of images.

You can read more about the sound schema at http://www.seeingwithsound.com.

I use the add-on regularly so let me know if I can help further.

I do not know if this topic has been handled before.

Some people insert photos directly into the message instead of creating attachments. When I worked as a journalist this caused constant problems and the situation doesn't seem to have changed.
Does anyone know how to save photos which are included as a part of a message?
