Thanks so very much for your expert advice.  I have already uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  Ron, Another person on the list said they needed to get the newer version.

The first thing to do is to try uninstalling and reinstalling the program.  After that, I'm not sure what might be tried but that is the most simple and easiest thing to try.

Greetings all,
I have had great success with Pontes Media downloader version 2.0 converting YouTube files into mp3, wav etc.  .  However, recentlyone of my students who has been working with a laptop with Win7 had it upgraded to Win10.  Now When accessing the Pontes Media downloader exe file in that program folder or from the desktop, I am returned to the folder where the exe file is located and the program doesn’t load.  Has anyone else had such an experience?
Thanks for any advice in advance.

Hi  Sascha ,

Pressing F8 works to take you back to the main edit screen.  I don't see this indexed anywhere with the help screens, but it is good to know that this keystroke works.

This is one of the issues I have with Notepad++: while much of it is accessible, many of the keyboard shortcuts are completely non-standard.

hi,

I sometimes use notepad plus plus to hand edit brl or brf braille files and other text files. I went into the edit menu and I wanted to enter some accented characters into a text file so I brought up the character panel, found the character I wanted and pressing enter puts that character into the file. But now when I run notepad++ the character panel keeps coming up and I can’t find a way to close it. So how do I close the character panel? I’m using the latest NVDA with CodeFactory eloquence and vocalizer addon.

This should be the direct download page.

Thanks so very much.  I can’t seem to find one newer than 2.0.  Can you give me the link to that site?  I can’t thank you enough.  Several of my students use that program and it is in my book.  Thanks so much again!!

Delete the old program, and get the latest addition.

I had the same problem, and that is how I solved it.

It works very smoothly.

Hi Dan,

I would advise you to upgrade to Pontes Media Downloader 3.x.  It seems to work better with Windows 10.  On occasion, it becomes non functional, but a simple reinstall fixes the problem.

Well gutenberg should be accessible but I use classic editor as for
microsoft edge and chrome, they have been at war with google for ages now.

Then again I use waterfox classic which has no tracking, gets rid of
adds even on my on demand and mostly works.

At any rate, to follow up w/this, John has given me permission to
assist him w/administering his site from time to time. I say that so
folks don't think I just busted into it.

John, you should install the classic editor as opposed to the
Gutenberg editor. Just go to 'Plugins > Add new' & search for classic
editor. Then install & activate it as usual.

Might I also suggest you update your site, as you've got quite a few
pending. Whenever you're having problems w/NVDA, it's a really good
idea to first ensure that all updates have been performed in the area
where you're having difficulties, in this case your WordPress site. I
think those steps should solve your difficulties.
