Re: NVDA hot keys equivalent to Window-Eyes
Quentin Christensen
As well as the direct assistance others have provided, another resource you might find useful is the guide that Gene wrote on switching from Window-Eyes to NVDA: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda-community/wiki/Switching-from-Window-Eyes-to-NVDA Regards Quentin.

Re: how well does NVDA work with outlook 2016
Quentin Christensen
Hi Casey, In general, yes, it should work best with the latest version. I think the main problems at the moment are with Outlook on Windows 10. In any case, do let us know how you go. Regards Quentin.

No issues here. Everything starts up as expected, and all is as snappy as it can be, even more so.

Re: Thunderbird portable
I would recommend looking through Gene NZ's accessibilitycentral.net section entitled,
Accessible email client Mozilla Thunderbird -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1703, Build 15063 (dot level on request - it changes too often to keep in signature) The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth. ~ Niels Bohr

slow NVDA

I am noticing that new NVDA is slow and takes a long time to move around when I start my PC. This was not an issue in the past. Now it is. Using current W10 and NVDA. Holger Fiallo

Thunderbird portable
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
I just downloaded this in the hope it would give me a fall back if anything happened to my Outlook Express. However I am still struggling with its interface.
Is there a simple to follow from the keyboard tutorial? I have put in my email account, a gmail one on imap for now just to test it, but it keeps on popping up messages about external content in the emails and complaining its not able to get some mail that I know is there and the way to simply read emails without getting involved with today yesterday and sorting seems to be very labour intensive. Is there a way to strip it down, so one can simply use it to see the tree of foldeers, open a folder run up and down the list inside and open and reply to messages without fuss and messing about?

Well just used it in windows 7. I used the portable version. the best thing about this is that though you kind of install it, it keeps all its paths and registry stuff local and not in the basic system area on your pc, so no issues with uninstalling it, just like the portable nvda.

Re: Issues with NVDA on Windows Logon Screen
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
I also might suggest that one makes sure the machine has not got the issue which mine had with a file that would not copy over when use current settings on log on screen. That ended up with me having two different configs and the poor old thing got itself confused. You could of course get in if you disabled the log in screen, but one assumes in the case of the person with the issue this is not an option.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
If you find the copy current config to system goes on forever, then do an alt tab and you will see errors hidden behind the dialogue on screen. Eventually I renamed the .dic file causing the issue manually by going into my named user option and navigating to the right folder there. However, I wonder if you installed nvda with the correct user privs in the first place? Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

Re: Does Anyone Else Have This Bug in Firefox Using NVDA?
Brian's Mail list account <bglists@...>
Yes but I do not want that, and indeed now run 32 bit on my 64 bit windows 7 machine and its far more stable for me at least. It can be done if you download the offline installer, ie the files that install it rather than the stub they use to decide. I think its clever enough that it won't enforce a 64 bit install if a 32 bit is already there. to me the problem is this. Nvda and a lot of other software is 32 bit often they get too use a core and that is that, in 64 bit apps like the 64 bit
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Firefox, it can use many cores and hence slow other things running in those cores as most machines do not multithread but simply time slice the processor. I suspect this is what the problem often is, Microsofts operating system though able to run both types of software is not so clever that it can protect one thing over another. The main thing about using 64 bit apps is that they can use more memory directly addressed from the system than a 32 bit can of course. I'm not sure why any browser would need to have access to such huge lumps of memory myself.. grin. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.

please check also Automatically start NVDA after I log on to Windows. Use NVDA on the Windows logon screen (requires administrator privileges) and also Use currently saved settings on the logon and other secure screens (requires administrator privileges) i am not familiar with u.ac, but i think turning on all the items which i mentioned can help you.

Re: NVDA hot keys equivalent to Window-Eyes
Gene
Read title bar is NVdA key t. The NVDA key is
either insert by default.
Read current window is NVDA key b. But
this may not read the same things, sometimes more, sometimes less, sometimes
other information than what you expect, sometimes much less, for reasons I don't
know, because of how it works. It reads every object in the current
screen. If that produces the results you want, that's fine but this may be
an example of where, a fair amount of time, knowing how to use screen review and
object navigation may be far better alternatives than just issuing this
command.

Issues with NVDA on Windows Logon Screen
Mahesh S. Panicker
Hi listers,
I have been facing a strange issue with NVDA on the Windows logon screen. I have an Acer machine running Windows 10. I set NVDA to start at the logon screen. The user account control promptly appeared and I clicked yes there. However, when I shut the system down and restarted it, NVDA didn't launch. However, after I completely turned User Account Control off, it does start, and starts faster than Jaws would manage. Is there a way to get it to work on the Windows logon screen even though UAC is turned on and set to 67 percent? Regards, -- Dr. Mahesh S. Panicker Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Lajpat Nagar New Delhi 110024
