Hi, Glenn, I might eventually go with either linux or a Mac if this computer goes out.

Hello, I also tried to spend a while looking at Linux, and I must admit it was quite disappointing. As a result, I became an even bigger Windows advocate. Some people love itthough, so if any of you

Microsoft did put Linux into its Windows 10 command shell which is the command-line terminal I mentioned in my previous message. I’m currently not using Windows 10, but if I were, I’d enable the

This will be interesting to check out. Thanks for this info.

Sonar is being merged into Vinux, which is moving over—I think they still plan this—to Fedora. I’d recommend Fedora, as it uses Gnome, the latest available and working packages, and is generally

Hi Richard, Believe me, I am still working on that one. If only one of my machines did it, it would be easier, but all three of mine fail miserably with NVDA and Explorer. All the best Steve

Hi Annette, No, unfortunately, it doesn’t. So if NVDA were my only screen reader at this point, I’d be royally stuffed, unless I reset my PC. But JAWS is working fine, so I don’t really

Hi Angela, I have written many times before how NVDA doesn't cut it for the workplace, so I'm not going to bring that up again now. But even basic things like speaking single digits can't easily be

I suppose the next question is, why are some having problems with NVDA and UIA and others are not? If we could find that common thread, we would know if it is a Windows issue or an NVDA problem.

Hello Jean, I can confirm that reinstalling doesn’t solve the problem either. Besides, I get the same problem with Narrator, so it is a general UIA problem I believe. But as long as I have

To try to wrap up my info on this list, Here are some links using Orca on YouTube. The first one is Orca preferences in Sonar, which is a distro of Linux that is customized to work with Orca, and

Here’s a little more, in case others are wondering about getting around in Linux… Glenn I usually set it to laptop mode, and I use the caps-lock with U I O for prior, current, and next line

I'm going to try that again. I don't actually think I typed that correctly yesterday.

Hi, Steve. Man, that is a bummer! Mine will after a couple of minutes. I tried what Joseph suggested yesterday and it did seem to work better, but it still wasn't perfect. If I close a

I have some info on the Orca screenreader list as well, here’s links for the list: Glenn To: <orca-list@...> Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2018 7:00 AM Send orca-list mailing list submissions

OK, if you would make  few examples of what you cannot do with nvda it would be appreciated. Thank you. Ciao.

This problem started with the newest major update to Windows. I have no idea whether reinstalling would help but who knows? I am skeptical that other user attempts, such as stopping apps will help.

Hi Steve, Unfortunately, no. Disabling UIA may have cured File Explorer issue for now, but it meant losing access to Start menu, various apps including Microsoft Edge, and other areas of Windows 10.

Hi Jackie, No malware here, according to various things. I have Malwarebytes, but I don't run it automatically, I only scan when I need to. No bloat on these custom machines, I know what I'm

Hi Joseph, Since this thread got a little bit hijacked by Linnux, did you get my message to say that doing the importUIAHandler thing as you directed cured my Explorer issues? All the best Steve
