Hi, everyone,


I'm trying thunderbird and when I type messages, NVDA lags. I'm not typing fast either so why is this happening?


Thanks for your help in advance.

I know this has been posted before but could not retrieve the email about the extension or addons for Firefox that is similar with webvism. I appreciate if you could share it again here some alternative option that I could use with on the Firefox ESR to solve the capture or verification image.

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.

This is a great message. Also, compare UAC to what Linux users have to
do, typing in their whole root password when installing or updating
programs sometimes. Compared to that, one keystroke is nothing.

It's a minimum amount of inconvenience to respond when the UAC prompt
appears.  All you have to do is use the alt y command.  Why are people
so casual about disabling a security feature that is minimally
inconvenient?  You issue one command.  Compare that very minor
inconvenience to what you may have to doo if you are infected because
UAC is off.  I realize that malware can circumvent UAC, and, from what
I've been told, it isn't difficult.  But still, what if you could have
prevented nfection by having it on at a minimum of inconvenience?

Question from a long time Window Eyes user. At present 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. I have correctly uninstalled WE and have done multiple searches to try and find remnants. My best guess is that it is lurking still in my registry. I am not foolish enough to try editing my registry, and Leary of using any of the “registry cleaners.” Any chance that this addon would find such a lingering registry entry. When I read “other programs” I assume other access software. I am not having the issues described in this thread, but. . . .

Any advice out there?

Hi

Just had a quick look is this a snapshot to fix the unknown and pane problems that some people have had in the past? if it is and it works it would be far easier than the other way which i have been posting from time to time.

Gene nz

I know a number of people here have had serious issues with browsers not reading word not working right with nvda and other associated problems.
For some time now this has been known to be due to  registry issues due to uninstallers of other software not correctly registering important files. The latest next snapshot has a tool to fix this, rather predictably in its tool menu, so if you are having such issues, it may well be a good idea to try this version of nvda and use the tool.
it should do no harm, but do remember that next snaps are bleeding edge code and will need to be used with caution. Always back up your previous version and set a restore point before doing any work on registry files. Note the account that its used on has to have admin access or it won't work.
