Re: [SUSPECT URL!]Re: [nvda] Registry fixing tool in nvda

I doubt that WindowEyes still having some components in the registry would cause this. Windows 7 does have a problem updating when one update causes a problem. And all after that cannot update.

Re: Registry fixing tool in nvda
Gene
After thinking about and rereading part of your
message further, I understand that you are talking about upgrading NVDA.
Are you saying that Window-eyes is specifically identified by Windows or the
NVDA installer as being incompatible? There have been discussions over the
last two days about some people not being able to upgrade. If you are
specifically being told that Window-eyes is incompatible, this may be a
different problem. Instead of fooling around in the registry, there is a
way to completely uninstall everything Window-eyes places on the machine, at
least that's how the tool was described. I didn't use Windows to any
extent but I remember a way to do it. I don't know if you need to
reinstall Window-eyes to use the total uninstallation tool or if you can use the
tool separately. Others may know. And others may know if the tool
actually uninstalls everything, including registry entries and all files.
Also, your message would have been clear if you had
specified what you can't update. You said:
Windows can’t update to the latest version as it
thinks there is an incompatible program installed on my computer. That program
is Window Eyes.
While it is likely you are saying you can't update
NVDA, since so many people write about other problems on list, it could be that
you were trying to update to the final version of Window-eyes for some
reason. I realize this is unlikely, but just in general, you should
specify what you are discussing.
Such as:
I am unable to update to the latest version of NVDA
because, etc.

If it does improve things, then please install each of the beta builds (in sequence as described in my email) and let us know if you notice any changes. Also, an advanced warning for people really tempted to do the following (and in order to avoid another instance of miscommunication like VS2017 runtime problem a few weeks back): just because you can't reproduce a problem DOES NOT MEAN you can close an issue or ignore it. Who knows if the problem reported by a user might happen to you one day, or the reporter found a solution that works for him or her that might or might not apply to others. There are some in the community (who shall remain nameless) who downplay the severity of a problem when they can't reproduce it or think their version of Windows is immune. No, a problem reported by a user is still a problem if it negatively affects productivity for them, potentially marring their NVDA experience. Some of you may think that what Gary is going through is a minor anoyance, but if this problem affects his productivity, then it should still be investigated to find out why, hence my suggestion to let him try different beta builds. I'm saying all this because I think we should change our attitudes about providing support for newcomers and/or those who are experiencing problems we can't reproduce (easily).

Re: Registry fixing tool in nvda
Gene
How are you trying to update? Do you have a
newer version already on your computer?
While Window-eyes will be useful for a good while,
since there is no more Window-eyes, is it worth updating? Is there
anything you want in the final version? In other words, is the problem
worth solving since at some point, you'll have to switch screen-readers and if
there isn't anything you want in the last version, there will be no more
versions?

Re: Registry fixing tool in nvda
Well it depends on how long you have had the system active for how many installs of windows you have done on it.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
For me on a workstation used for business and a few photo tasks as well as backup, its been active on a single install and upgrade from 7 since 2015. The system has had layers removed layers added, etc. So I am due to after getting it all backed up, and all the necessary things from it, just do a complete reformat on the request of its user who will be away for a week freeing the system at the end of the month for me to reformat, reconfigure and hopefully test to see if anything else is broken. Right now there are layers of software and such for just about everything and the module set thus used is a lot smaller. Previously there were 20-30 programs in addition to all everything else Now there are round 8-10 programs, and the system has been running for 3-4 years and is due for a full reformat. As well as this there are unused hardware packages, incompatible drivers and the like. Depending how long things have remained, and with the issues registry cleaners can become its contrivertial, and now we have access to the windows installers, I wouldn't think twice about a reformat. Ofcause I do have backups both on drives internal and external, cloud, software, etc. You may not.

Hi
Will yesterdays snapshot be able to fix what is in the ticket below. I asked Brian but because he is say 12 hours behind us I might not know for a while.
NVDA stops reading webpages in all browser - saying "unknown" or "pane" (#2807) The above is the ticket number.
If this is the case i know of a person who has contacted me with the what is described in the ticket. I am sure also she is using windows 10 but could get more info from her if needed.
I am hoping the next snapshot where the tool is under the tools menu might fix the problem or am i wrong?
She needs a way to register those files that are broken where it says unknown or pane.
