Re: Minimum Specs for NVDA with Other Intensive Applications
Oh yeah. My mac which is 6 years old just got a new ssd (why that died I dunno, maybe when the battery blue up) but yeah apart from my f and j dots gone and some keys I need to bang on to get to work, the computer still runs fine. Its end of life is next year though which sucks as I love this computer. That is, no more os updates for it. By the way is there a way to find out the end of life for a windows laptop where you get no more windows updates especially if it is built by you?. My windows laptop is going to be 2 years old in June but it should still be fine for 5 ro 7 mor eyears if I treat it good, which I probably won't. Lol! Can't wait to try word on ot for when I go back to school. Take care

Re: RES: [nvda] can't select radio buttons in a webpage
Alexandre,
As Gene has indicated, under Chrome and on this page the only way to activate these things with a screen reader is to use screen reader mousing controls. By the way, and not that Gene is incorrect in any way, if you happen to have a keyboard with a "hard insert" key (as in dedicated an which only has as it's function Insert) you can use that along with the number pad slash character as well. If you have a laptop with a full number pad you should be able to use the desktop keystrokes as he's given them. If you have a laptop without a number pad, and presuming the NVDA key is still INSERT, then the keystokes are: Move mouse to current navigator object INS+Shift+M Left click mouse INS+[ -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

Don't go into forms mode.
Move to whatever radio button you want to select in
browse mode.
On the numpad, issue the command numpad insert,
numpad slash.
That is, hold numpad insert and while doing so,
press the slash key. That is the key to the right of the numlock.
Now release both keys.
Now press slash by itself again.
If you check the state of the radio button now, it
will be checked.
If you don't have a numpad and are using the laptop
keyboard option, someone else can give you the commands.
The first command is to route the mouse to where
you are.
The second command left clicks the
mouse.

Do you know how to route and click the mouse? You should always try that if other methods don't work. it works here.
I also tested the page with firefox and the radio buttons work correctly.

Re: can't select radio buttons in a webpage
This is another of those instances where I'd almost like to throttle the designers of this page.
First, visually, those three radio buttons are not presented as radio buttons, but as a single bar of side-by-side buttons marked by dividers. Then, when I listen to NVDA, it notes that this is implemented as a table on top of it all, which adds another layer of indirection depending on how the rendering engine works (and it's clearly different between Firefox and Chrome. These could have easily been implemented and presented as a straight radio button list, which would have made more sense. That, or make the first level of the decision tree clicking on a button for one of those three things then leading the user to what has to be filled in otherwise afterward. This is just crappy design, period, when one web object is masked entirely as far as how either someone who sees, or someone who uses a screen reader, would recognize that it's a "pick one of these three" switch (at least in this case). You figure that out quickly enough when you see how it behaves as you interact with it visually, but it's still a bad design choice. People know what radio buttons are, or at least anyone who's been using the internet for more than a few weeks knows what radio buttons are. They're an object as old as dirt, metaphorically speaking, in the world of web coding. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

Re: Uninstall Norton Anti Virus
David Goldfield
It's pretty sad when I have to go back and review one of my earlier blog posts to verify whether my memory of the captcha in the Kaspersky removal tool was correct. As of a few years ago the Kaspersky removal tool did present a captcha before it would allow me to remove Kaspersky Antivirus. Now that I reviewed my own post I now remember that I did this not due to a Windows upgrade but in order to solve a problem regarding installing a more recent version of Kaspersky Antivirus using a screen reader.

Re: Uninstall Norton Anti Virus

While I haven't ran this tool in years I believe the Kaspersky removal tool did require a captcha. I honestly don't remember why I needed to uninstall it but I think it was when I was upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Re: Uninstall Norton Anti Virus
Did you try using the Norton Remove and Reinstall Tool? These are often far less "complicated" and, as a result, more accessible since they are very purpose driven. You're generally asked which you're trying to do and that's that. I don't have Norton and haven't used this, but I've used plenty of software in this class.

Re: Minimum Specs for NVDA with Other Intensive Applications
enes sarıbaş
hi, Brian, I couldn't have said it myself. Moving to an SSD was by
far the most dramatic jump in computer performance I experienced.
I wouldn't go back to a mechanical hard drive if someone paid me
to do it. Like Gene, when I was on a mechanical drive, I thought
the SSD performance jump was hype. SSDs always justify the cost,
and I think are the part of the ocmputer that result in the most
noticable jump in speed. For instance, with a hard drive, firefox
took about 10-15 seconds to load. Similarly word did as well. Now
any program I click on loads instantaniously. For this reason, I
have no intention of replacing this PC as it feels like a newly
bought pc.

My home pc is an Intel i5 with 4 GB of RAM happily grinding along on Windows 10. Definitely more than a little bit on the low RAM side of things but it's not let me down yet.
