Can't answer the first one, but I used to run a portable nvda on my netbook and I got it to start automatically by placing a shortcut to it's .exe file in the startup folder of Windows. Roger

That's very odd. I had a portable copy on a thumb drive and I installed it just fine on my Win 10 machine. It's under Tools in the nvda menu. Roger

This seems to only work for an installed version of nvda. If you are just running a portable copy on a machine which doesn't have nvda installed, then you'll need to use the longer way to install. Rog

Keep it as is! My desktop hasn't gone anywhere in Win 10. I have it running very much as it did in Win 7. Roger

That's not happening here at all. It seems to be reading normally as it always has. Roger

I like pdf 2 txt. It's free from Empowerment Zone. Roger

My portable copy of nvda just crashed or something. There was just suddenly no speech at all and I hit nvda q to do a restart and I got nothing so I hit ctrl alt n and that started my installed copy a

Sounds like a Chicken Nugget problem. I use it with nvda all the time and have no problems here. Can't really say what is happening there. Roger

NVDA has always said "Has Attachment" right away if I land on an email that has one but I always use Thunderbird. Don't know what email you are using, but that may be why you're not getting this notif

I use Station Playlist Studio for doing DJ as well as internet radio broadcasting. It is fairly accessible right out of the box, but with the excellent nvda add on for spl, it is super accessible and

I was just reading a long email message in Thunderbird when it received a new message. It had to announce this to me and disrupted the reading of the message I was reading. This is just annoying, but

It does mix and you can change pitch. Don't think there's any scratching effects though. It's more designed as a straight radio D J program and not a disco type program. Roger

You are lucky! I've turned off the feature to get messages every so many minutes so the problem will never happen again. What happened is I hit the escape key to silence speech and I expected it would

My Thunderbird has always done this. You need to press F 8 to turn off the preview pane. This always gets in the way. Then when you close the message, you'll just be in the list of messages in the inb

I have it set to delete any message more than 30 days old and that's where I want it. The option to delete on closing messages is not checked so that isn't it. Who knows, it may have been a one in a m

Station Playlist is an excellent broadcaster program but the other person is really looking for a disco type D J program. I don't know anything about these types of programs. Roger

I've noticed there appears to be no updates for my Win 7 64 bit Home Premium this month. My Win 10 machine updated just fine yesterday but not this one. I just forced it to check for updates, and it j

About an hour after I closed it out, I finally got this month's updates after all! Roger
