Using NVDA on XP?
|
James Bentley <bentleyj1952@...>
Hi all,
I have a friend who is interested in using NVDA on a computer running
XP.
Can he just down load the latest NVDA or should he try for an earlier
version. If so, which version?
Many thanks,
James B

Hi James, As Joseph noted, the last version of NVDA that works on Windows XP is NVDA 2017.3. The download for that version is: https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/releases/2017.3/nvda_2017.3.exe Kind regards Quentin.

There were a few snaps that also worked but to all intents and purposes they can be regarded as the same. I'm still using several machines like this and there is one worming. The addons might need to be older versions if you are downloading them. Newer ones may not work.

However its still impressive how well nvda works on xp even with newer versions of software that still runs on xp, which is increasingly rare of course. Depending on whether your xp is running on AMD or Intel processors, the Intel versions actually have more software that will still run that the AMD ones do.

Thank you Quentin and Joeseph,
I’ll get this info to my friend right
away. I am curious as to how well he likes NVDA on XP.
Concerning NVDA and windows 7, I tried
to fill out an insurance form yesterday using Jaws. Jaws did not recognize
my imput on part of the form. Hmmm, useless on that particular site in
both IE and Chrome. I cranked up NVDA just to try it. I had the form
filled out with Chrome in ten minutes. Kind of strange how that worked
out.
Cheers,
James

run happily? Does that mean later versions
will run, but not very happily?

Hi, Run happily: fully supported and will run. In this context, later versions of NVDA will refuse to run on XP. Cheers, Joseph
