OK, sorry I don't know much other than this to try. Long as you
spelled the narrator phrase correctly, which I am sure you have
double-checked, and your Windows do not start the service.


One last resort that comes to mind, have you ever considered
reinstalling NVDA? I would think thare might be a way to back up all
your NVDA settings, to something like a USB pen. Then completely
remove the screen reader from your system. Redownload a fresh copy,
and install NVDA all from scrach. Reboot, and perform your testing
in the software of your choice.


Something might have got broken in your installation of NVDA. And
you might have incidentially changed a setting somewhere. So if you
have never done a reinstallation, you hereby are encouraged.


Apart from that, I am out of ideas. Hope someone else will help you out.

Well, you get to enjoy the benefits of both OSes. Think of it
this way, if you install Windows XP mode in Windows 7, and when
you go into Windows XP and install anything, it shows up in the

the catch is that I think XP mode is not available for the home
editions of Windows 7, except for Windows 7 Ultimate.
From my tests in the past, NVDA does work under XP mode.

In response to a message earlier, yes, free/open source software
stopped supporting old versions of Windows later than paid ones,
but eventually old versions of Windows will not be supported.
Take Firefox, Mozilla stopped supporting Windows 2000 I think a

became unsupported by Microsoft.

I'll add that embedded XP is a different version of XP, intended for
use in running business equipment of various kinds. The list members were correct.
Support for XP, the version of XP you are using, ended in 2014.
That's what you said ended in 2019 and that's what list members
responded to. If you had said embedded XP, you might have gotten
different responses. Or you might have gotten some of the same
responses and questions about what you meant by embedded XP. Most
people don't think about embedded XP and a lot of people don't know about it.

I'm not making any judgment about whether using updates for Embedded
Windows in another version of Windows XP will provide effective
protection nor am I assuming that doing so will possibly impair the
operation of Windows. But I am pointing out that using these updates
may not provide adequate protection and that doing so may impair the operation of Windows XP.

It looks like there is only one version for windows, which would be
32-bit, as you said - On the download page there is an option for 32 or
64 bit versions for Linux: http://www.openoffice.org/download/

For LibreOffice, it looks like there is a 64 bit version although it's
not right up the top next to the
32 bit version, but look a bit further down the page and it's listed as
"Windows x86_64": https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/

Embeded xp is something that would run on a single board computer (something similar to the raspberry pi). sbcs are used in all kinds of industrial automation, among other things, and microsoft has made a version of xp available for these computers so developers can run windows on their small computers. Honestly, I'm not aware of anyone using xp on an imbeded systems, but often times, you don't really know what's under the hood (so to speak) of an appliance or device. For example, most of the linksys routers run a version of linux, some of the asus motherboards also run a version of linux to handle their cmos configuration. I know most atm machines used to run os/2, but they have since switched to some form of windows (maybe they're the ones running xp). Anyway, anything that runs an operating system invissible to the user is considered embeded, and it can be in anything from toasters to bull dozeers, just about anything you can point at these days has some sort of computer in it, and those computers have to run something, so that's what's referred to as the embeded market, because the os is embeded into the device, and is (generally) transparent to the user.

Microsoft says that the updates are not intended for the standard version
of XP. Call it a hack or something else, you are using an unsupported means
to get unsupported updates that are intended for a different version of XP
than is used on standard computers. I'm not taking a position on whether

The simple hack is to make your regular xp machine look like an embeded xp
install. It has nothing to do with xp as a whole. Microsoft is still
supporting the embeded version of xp until 2019. That isn't a hack, that's
the truth, and denying it won't change anything.

Xp embeded version is being supported until 2019. It's not the version of
xp folks run on their computers, but it's close enough that you can
piggyback on that support to keep your xp machine patched until then.

No, it's not a direct support by microsoft (for the desktop version) and
microsoft has said they don't recommend folks do this, but they've also
comitted to supporting the embeded market until 2019, and that means
(contrary to popular belief) that microsoft does support xp still, albeit a
specific version of xp, but nonetheless, they do still support xp.

In general, imap servers use port 143 for regular access, and 993 for
secure access. These are the ports definied in the rfc on imap
services, so they're the first to try when configuring imap accounts.
If they don't work, then it's because the provider is using nonstandard
ports, and in that case, the only thing to do is ask the provider what
they use (and why). Thunderbird uses these defaults when configuring
imap servers (by default) so you shouldn't have to change anything
assuming your provider uses standard ports. Most of them do, so you
should have no problems at all.

Your e-mail service provider should be able to provide you
with the server names and port numbers for the IMAP and SMTP servers
you need to use. If it is a major provider it's entirely possible
that Thunderbird will have this information in the database that ships
with it where just entering your e-mail address and password during
account setup will be enough. If that isn't there is no way any of us
can guess at the correct values without knowing who the service
provider is and doing a web search to find the configuration
information for that provider.

All versions of Thunderbird in recent years have been
quite accessible. Get the latest one that will run on your machine.
E-mail clients are constantly getting patches for security reasons
and one should never use an older version of any software of this type
than one has to. If the current version supports Win XP then download
that. Here's the Thunderbird download page for all of the versions,

Hi Again,


I forgot a few important items.


You may be having confusion because of the start page issue. Under
tools/options/general, uncheck the box that says 'show the start
page
in
the message area.' This way, when you launch Thunderbird, you will
go
directly to your list of folder/messages.


If you receive a message with an attachment, with the message open,
press alt + M for the message item and H for the attachments item.
You
will then see a bunch of choices including open (the name of the
file
attachment) open all, save all and so on.


You can also use tab and shift tab to get to the attachments and
use
the
right click (context menu) item, but this is a bit cumbersome, so i
prefer the former method.


Also, I find the following to work well--though a bit cumbersome
when
trying to place addresses in various of the CC/BCC/To fields.


If you open a new message and back tab 8 times, you are placed in
the
list of addresses in your default or main address book. If you
want
to
do a mass mailing, thenyou can arrow down or use first letter
navigation (which works for the address book, and select address
with
the control + space bar method and then press the following
keystrokes
to place large numbers of addresses into the various fields.


alt + A for To field

alt + C for CC field

alt + B for BCC field.


If you wish to place various addresses in multiple field, each time
you
place them there, you will have to back tab again until you hear
'contacts, tree view.' This will place you back into the list of
addresses to continue choosing separate fields until you have
completed
your list of mass addresses. It is a bit cumbersome, but unless
someone
else has figured out a better way, it is better than going directly
from
the address book and then moving around the list and right clicking
and
tghen choosing write and then moving the addresses around from
field
to
field to that you have some in the to field, some in the cc field
and
some in the bcc field.


I hope this meandering list of commands over the course of two
messages
helps someone some way.





On 12/4/2016 6:10 AM, Ron Canazzi wrote:

Hello:


Thunderbird is pretty straight forward. Once you install the
program, you must set up your account. By default, after the
first
installation, this screen comes up--where you enter your e-mail
address, name, server settings and so on. If for some reason, it
does
not come up after the first installation, then you can find
settings
for the e-mail account under the tools menu (alt +
T) and the accounting settings (press S after alt + T) item.


Once the account settings screen comes up, tab once to the account
settings button and press space bar. A context menu opens and one
of
the choice is 'add e-mail account.' If you choose this item, a
standard mail configuration screen comes up and you fill in your
information.


Now here are a few settings that I prefer. Others may have
different
opinions. I came from the Outlook Express experience in earlier
versions of Windows, so I set my view settings as follows.


Under the tool bars menu under view, I have menu bar and status
bar
checked.

Under the layout sub menu item under view, I have the folder pain
checked and the classic view item checked. I do not have the
message
pain checked. This causes problems with many screen reader users.
If
this gets checked by accident, it toggles on and off with the
press
of
the function Key 8 on your keyboard.


Under the folder sub menu item under view, I have the all item
checked--nothing else.


Under the today pane, I have none checked--nothing else. This
feature
is nice for sighted people, but it can cause issues for screen
readers.


The sort by item is up to you. I have date and ascending order
checked which places the most recent messages at the bottom of the
list in each folder.


The thread sub menu item is also personal preference but I have
all
checked and then I use the command letter N when in a folder with
no
open messages to unsort to read each message separately so they
won't
open all at once and the letter T for setting them back to
threaded
so
I can do mass deletions.


Under the headers sub menu item, I have normal checked. This
avoids
the full headers which take up a massive amount of space with
gibberish most people don't understand.


Under the message body as item, I have simple HTML which suffices
for
most purposes.


The display attachments inline should be unchecked--otherwise
files
you attach which are binary or music will create a lot of
gibberish
that no one can read.


Now here are a few shortcut and hotkeys to get you started. Many
of
them are similar to Outlook Express with a few notable exceptions.


To bring up the address book where you can create e-mail address
and
properly send e-mail, the keystroke is control+ shift + B. From
the
address book, check the various sub menus for how to create new
entries (control + N) and so on.


To start a new message from scratch without using the address
book,
the keystroke is Control + N.

To reply to a message you have received the keystroke is Control +
R.
If you wish to respond to everyone in the headers the keystroke is
control + shift + R.

Here's one odd one. To forward a message, press control + L. This
differs from most other Microsoft clients which use Control +

F.

Control + F is used either to find messages in a folder with no
open
messages, or to find text in an open message.

To attach a file, from an open message you are writing, press
control
+ shift + A. This opens a browse for folder/file dialogue where
you
can move to the default folder for attachments.

Once you have completed writing a message, you can either
configure
the message to be sent immediately under your account settings or
you
can use the keystroke control + enter to send the message. If
send
immediately is not configured, you will receive a prompt to send
the
message after pressing control + enter to whcih you respond yes.


As far as navigation from folder to folder, the easiest way to do
this
in my opinion is to use the Function key 6 (F6) keystroke that
will
move ou from the list of messages, to the tabs to the folder list.
For
example, if you are in the list of messages and you press F6, you
should go to the folder list. One important thing to remember is
that
first letter navigation within the folder list is not possible for
some reason. Unlike in Outlook Express, you must use up and down
arrow keys to move from one folder to another in the tree view and
then press tab once to move to the list of messages in each
folder.
That's one big drawback.


For any more settings issues, use the tools menu alt + T and
choose
options. There are a bunch of settings for everything from
signatures
to just how return receipts are handled. Explore these settings
and
make preferred choices.


As with any new program, check under the various menus--both from
the
main inbox folder and from wsithin a new message or open message
to
get further tips and tricks as to how to use the program.

abiword supports lots of languages. I don't know if farsi is one of
them or not, but it is opensource. I don't know how well it works (or
not) with nvda, since I've not used it in years, but it's there for the
taking if you want to try it.

Nasrin,

           Your e-mail service provider should be able to provide you with
the server names and port numbers for the IMAP and SMTP servers you need to
use.  If it is a major provider it's entirely possible that Thunderbird will
have this information in the database that ships with it where just entering
your e-mail address and password during account setup will be enough.  If
that isn't there is no way any of us can guess at the correct values without
knowing who the service provider is and doing a web search to find the
configuration information for that provider.

            All versions of Thunderbird in recent years have been quite
accessible.  Get the latest one that will run on your machine.  E-mail
clients are constantly getting patches for security reasons and one should
never use an older version of any software of this type than one has to.  If
the current version supports Win XP then download that.   Here's the
Thunderbird download page for all of the versions, and language
localizations, that exist:  https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all/ (

Microsoft says that the updates are not intended for the standard version
of XP. Call it a hack or something else, you are using an unsupported means
to get unsupported updates that are intended for a different version of XP
than is used on standard computers. I'm not taking a position on whether
the patches work or work properly. I'm simply saying that if you do this,
you hope but you don't know.

The simple hack is to make your regular xp machine look like an embeded xp
install. It has nothing to do with xp as a whole. Microsoft is still
supporting the embeded version of xp until 2019. That isn't a hack, that's
the truth, and denying it won't change anything.

Xp embeded version is being supported until 2019. It's not the version of
xp folks run on their computers, but it's close enough that you can
piggyback on that support to keep your xp machine patched until then.

No, it's not a direct support by microsoft (for the desktop version) and
microsoft has said they don't recommend folks do this, but they've also
comitted to supporting the embeded market until 2019, and that means
(contrary to popular belief) that microsoft does support xp still, albeit a
specific version of xp, but nonetheless, they do still support xp.

Microsoft has declared XP support over and it's incredibly foolish to

Hello,

When you first set up Thunderbird and configure your accounts, it
chooses what is best most of the time. For example, it chooses IMAP for
Gmail. However, if everything is already set up, you can go into tools
and accounts and adjust your settings for that account.

Hope this helps,

Jeffrey

Hi Nasrin,


If you are so limited by your ISP regulation on bandwidth, then I
suggest you not use any pop3 or IMAP program like Thunderbird or
Outlook. Keep using Firefox or the browser of your choice to view
your
e-mail.


I hope bandwidth limitations never get that tight in the US, but with
the incoming administration and the almost certainty that 'net
neutrality' will end, who knows.


I really like my personal client and pop3/IMAP approach.

Hi Again,


I forgot a few important items.


You may be having confusion because of the start page issue.
Under
tools/options/general, uncheck the box that says 'show the start
page
in
the message area.' This way, when you launch Thunderbird, you
will
go
directly to your list of folder/messages.


If you receive a message with an attachment, with the message
open,
press alt + M for the message item and H for the attachments
item.
You
will then see a bunch of choices including open (the name of the
file
attachment) open all, save all and so on.


You can also use tab and shift tab to get to the attachments and
use
the
right click (context menu) item, but this is a bit cumbersome, so
i
prefer the former method.


Also, I find the following to work well--though a bit cumbersome
when
trying to place addresses in various of the CC/BCC/To fields.


If you open a new message and back tab 8 times, you are placed in
the
list of addresses in your default or main address book. If you
want
to
do a mass mailing, thenyou can arrow down or use first letter
navigation (which works for the address book, and select address
with
the control + space bar method and then press the following
keystrokes
to place large numbers of addresses into the various fields.


alt + A for To field

alt + C for CC field

alt + B for BCC field.


If you wish to place various addresses in multiple field, each
time
you
place them there, you will have to back tab again until you hear
'contacts, tree view.' This will place you back into the list of
addresses to continue choosing separate fields until you have
completed
your list of mass addresses. It is a bit cumbersome, but unless
someone
else has figured out a better way, it is better than going
directly
from
the address book and then moving around the list and right
clicking
and
tghen choosing write and then moving the addresses around from
field
to
field to that you have some in the to field, some in the cc field
and
some in the bcc field.


I hope this meandering list of commands over the course of two
messages
helps someone some way.

Hello:


Thunderbird is pretty straight forward. Once you install the
program, you must set up your account. By default, after the
first
installation, this screen comes up--where you enter your e-mail
address, name, server settings and so on. If for some reason,
it
does
not come up after the first installation, then you can find
settings
for the e-mail account under the tools menu (alt +
T) and the accounting settings (press S after alt + T) item.


Once the account settings screen comes up, tab once to the
account
settings button and press space bar. A context menu opens and
one
of
the choice is 'add e-mail account.' If you choose this item, a
standard mail configuration screen comes up and you fill in your
information.


Now here are a few settings that I prefer. Others may have
different
opinions. I came from the Outlook Express experience in earlier
versions of Windows, so I set my view settings as follows.


Under the tool bars menu under view, I have menu bar and status
bar
checked.

Under the layout sub menu item under view, I have the folder
pain
checked and the classic view item checked. I do not have the
message
pain checked. This causes problems with many screen reader
users.
If
this gets checked by accident, it toggles on and off with the
press
of
the function Key 8 on your keyboard.


Under the folder sub menu item under view, I have the all item
checked--nothing else.


Under the today pane, I have none checked--nothing else. This
feature
is nice for sighted people, but it can cause issues for screen
readers.


The sort by item is up to you. I have date and ascending order
checked which places the most recent messages at the bottom of
the
list in each folder.


The thread sub menu item is also personal preference but I have
all
checked and then I use the command letter N when in a folder
with
no
open messages to unsort to read each message separately so they
won't
open all at once and the letter T for setting them back to
threaded
so
I can do mass deletions.


Under the headers sub menu item, I have normal checked. This
avoids
the full headers which take up a massive amount of space with
gibberish most people don't understand.


Under the message body as item, I have simple HTML which
suffices
for
most purposes.


The display attachments inline should be unchecked--otherwise
files
you attach which are binary or music will create a lot of
gibberish
that no one can read.


Now here are a few shortcut and hotkeys to get you started. Many
of
them are similar to Outlook Express with a few notable
exceptions.


To bring up the address book where you can create e-mail address
and
properly send e-mail, the keystroke is control+ shift + B. From
the
address book, check the various sub menus for how to create new
entries (control + N) and so on.


To start a new message from scratch without using the address
book,
the keystroke is Control + N.

To reply to a message you have received the keystroke is Control
+
R.
If you wish to respond to everyone in the headers the keystroke
is
control + shift + R.

Here's one odd one. To forward a message, press control + L.
This
differs from most other Microsoft clients which use Control +

F.

Control + F is used either to find messages in a folder with no
open
messages, or to find text in an open message.

To attach a file, from an open message you are writing, press
control
+ shift + A. This opens a browse for folder/file dialogue where
you
can move to the default folder for attachments.

Once you have completed writing a message, you can either
configure
the message to be sent immediately under your account settings
or
you
can use the keystroke control + enter to send the message. If
send
immediately is not configured, you will receive a prompt to send
the
message after pressing control + enter to whcih you respond yes.


As far as navigation from folder to folder, the easiest way to
do
this
in my opinion is to use the Function key 6 (F6) keystroke that
will
move ou from the list of messages, to the tabs to the folder
list.
For
example, if you are in the list of messages and you press F6,
you
should go to the folder list. One important thing to remember
is
that
first letter navigation within the folder list is not possible
for
some reason. Unlike in Outlook Express, you must use up and
down
arrow keys to move from one folder to another in the tree view
and
then press tab once to move to the list of messages in each
folder.
That's one big drawback.


For any more settings issues, use the tools menu alt + T and
choose
options. There are a bunch of settings for everything from
signatures
to just how return receipts are handled. Explore these settings
and
make preferred choices.


As with any new program, check under the various menus--both
from
the
main inbox folder and from wsithin a new message or open message
to
get further tips and tricks as to how to use the program.
