I have no doubt about how badly "the uninitiated" can mess up a machine with a screen reader on it for the person who actually uses that machine. I'm the only local tech, that I know of, that has a

Both. Especially with espeak and other things.

True. However all of us have our own systems. I guess it depends on your users. I used to service a family of clients. User 1 used the system responsibly. User 2 had issue and

You'd think. I have had people use computers from friends to techs. I had to eventually stop them doing it though. If I use other's systems at least if I need to modify for my use at least I have

In addition to Rui's question, is NVDA actually running when you do this? I've received this error on a couple of occasions where I double-clicked on an NVDA add-on file when I didn't have NVDA

Hi Rui and Gene, Thanks four your replies. I am sorry for not mentioning the status of NVDA. NVDA is installed properly, as in from the .exe file. Gene, I will surely try the solution that you
