Hi,

I know I am pushing for it, but do you have latest Windows 10 App Essentials add-on installed?

Cheers,

Joseph

Rosemarie,

When in the mail app press control-nvda-b and check Automatic Say All on page load check box

Hi, everyone,

I’m trying the mail app. I was using thunderbird but it became sluggish so I decided to try the mail app again. I used to be able to hit enter on a message and it would be read out automatically. Has something changed? Now I have to go to the top of the message, hit insert down-arrow and I can read the message. How can I get messages to read out automatically in the mail app?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Is it because of the soft hyphens?

-
If by "soft hyphens" you mean splitting words across line ends with hyphens, I'd say yes.  I have no idea why someone would not use the far more typical flowing of whole words across lines.  Having the word "future" broken up as "fu" hyphen line break "ture" is but one example where I would expect problems.  And there are a lot of examples of this sort of hyphenation, and I've not seen it used since the age of the word processor began.  It was at least somewhat common when typewriters were the primary writing method, but not since.

Hi, I’m not sure if the latest version of NVDA will work on windows seven.  I don’t see why it wouldn’t.  It probably will if you have the proper updates that windows seven has.  The last time I used it. I was using NVDA version 19 01  but my 7 box bit the dust and I had to upgrade to win ten.

Hi,

Make sure you have Windows 7 service pack 1 installed on your system. I'm not sure how NVDA works on Windows 7 now, as I'm using Windows 10 myself.

Hiya folks,

 

Have had an afternoon I’d rather forget trying to update NVDA to its latest version 2020.2

 

I tried updating within the program and also download the full installation file and both fail each time it tries to go to installing it.

 

I’ve also uninstalled it and tried it that way still no luck then I could not install an earlier version to I got hold of version 2016.3 then it installed and I could only go up to 2019 and then same issues happened again.

 

Is anyone else having this issue? Am running a windows 7, 64bit PC.

I just tried that sadly no luck:(

Hi,

I see. Short of asking you to upgrade to Windows 10, can you try installing NVDA 2019.3 if you can find it?

Cheers,

Joseph

I have no add ons, latest updates from January and I hear the music then closing NVDA and installation stops always here.

Hi,

Assuming that you have latest Windows 7 updates (dated January 14, 2020) installed, I think it might be something to do with your NVDA settings or add-ons. Do you have add-ons installed, and when you do try to install 2020.2, do you hear the startup music and NVDA afterwards?

Cheers,

Joseph

I don’t know but am stuck on 2019.2 and cannot update from this version in either update or full installation.

Cheers,

Jim

Hi,

The key question is, which version of NVDA was Jim using prior to trying to update to 2020.2? The answer to that will explain some things, but not others, including user settings, add-ons, and what not.
