Hi everyone,
I remember hearing from another user that I need an add-on to access
the system tray by pressing NVDA+F11. Can someone please send me the
link to that add-on? This is something else that I think should be
built into NVDA.
Thanks,
Bob

I had Jaws at one time but I had to drop it because it got way too expensive.  I’m gonna contact the accessibility people via the email the agent gave me because whatever change they made in their site effectively stops NVDA from letting me access the content I pay for.  I tried Firefox and it did the same thing.  Even the Microsoft disability answer desk agent saw it.  As long as my screen reader was enabled, he couldn’t type anything and it didn’t show content.  So, it’s obviously something they did.   I don’t think they realize it and it may be something as simple as a cosmetic change.  They just wanted to update their look.  I can use narrator but it’s clumsy.  Surely they’ll do something about this.  Thanks so much for all your help.  I’ll mention what you told me about having to alter the way you use Jaws.  Was yoursa sudden thing too?

Hi Guy!  Yeah, I make sure the window’s maximized and I use Chrome.  The puzzling thing is, until Thursday afternoon, I had access to all the content I pay for.  All of a sudden, all I see is the global navigation stuff you find on all the pages.  Under that, I see an unlabeled button that you click on to either expand or collapse the little area where you can switch profiles, turn night mode on or off, get into your account, etc.  Under that little button, I see the global navigation stuff you find at the bottom.  About, jobs, about ads, help, all that stuff.  I chatted with a Hulu agent who made some suggestion.  I’m thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling NVDA.  If that doesn’t work, I think I’ll call the Microsoft Disability Answer desk and have them see if my Chrome is updated.  I just think this whole thing is very strange.  The change was very sudden and I never did a thing to create the problem.  Lol  I’m gonna do my best to see that this thing doesn’t outdo me.

Hi all,


Earlier, I posted a note where I explained that I wasn't able to activate a link in an email sent to this group using NVDA. I tried all the methods I'm aware of to no avail, and Brian has just confirmed that he can't access these links using T-bird when NVDA is not loaded. So it appears not to be an NVDA issue. I wonder if others who use T-bird are having problems accessing links in emails, such as those that appear at the end of messages sent to this group, where you may reply only to sender, mute the topic or reply to the whole group. If you have had issues activating such links, what was your fix? Or did you not find one?

I do have sighted help but not because I live with someone.  I rely pretty heavily on the Microsoft disability answer desk when I face issues like this.  Ironically, they didn’t see those things on my screen on the site but the Hulu agent tried to see if it did it on his end and it didn’t.  He was able to see all available content.  I just don’t get it.  I think the first course of action will most likely be reaching out to the disability answer desk to see if my Chrome’s up to date or not and then I’ll go from there.  It’ll be a real blessing if that’s what caused it.

I sure do hope that happens for me Gaylen because this is driving me bonkers.  Incidentally, I’m in the US also.  Thanks for the heads up.  I guess I’ll try some of the stuff the hulu agent suggested in last night’s chat session and if that doesn’t work I’ll just try to hang tough and see what Hulu does.  It’s just messed up that this happened so suddenly.  Weird! Lol
