Just press NVDA spacebar again, Hettie. A lower beep tone is what you want to hear. So I suspect I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this, but I'm just sharing my experience. Sometimes, it appears lik

Yeah, Robert--I hate to say this, but HP is known for its massive amount of bloatware. When my dad got his, I removed it all. & I've done likewise on other clients as well. Having thus said, though, d

Anthony, try: spoonbillsoftware.com.au There's a cool self-voicing chess challenge game there, among many others.

Isak, did you ensure that the capslock key was checked to work as a NVDA modifier?

Hasan, did you get any msgs asking you to allow NVDA thru the firewall? You may wish to go to windows firewall & just make sure that NVDA is allowed through.

Hasan, there's a lot you don't tell us. 1 of the questions I have is what security software are you using, both antivirus & firewall? Also, are you running as an administrator or just using a standard

You know, Shaun, if you'd go to ninite.com, you can install a lot of different software & have the bundled extras skipped. I don't know if CCleaner is on there, though I seem to remember that at some
