Locked Issues:
|
Hi good people:
I am having two different problems which I will like you chas to address. The first problem is with the NVDA screen reader itself. When I start my computer, and the screen reader turns up, and I hear "loading NVDA please wait:" nothing comes up again. I have to press the key combination alttab twice to get back to NVDA, to hear "welcome to NVDA dialog. What exactly is happening here: Added to that, It is just too slow, when I am working on the internet. Many times, it crashes when i am on a website, and I have to go back to the desktop, to start it again. Sometimes, it take for ever for it to start reading a website. It sometimes crashes the site, and never gets to read anything. All I hear is Icon Icon. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I have NVDA 2019.2 on my computer. I preferrably use Mozilla firefox as my browser. The second issue or problem is this: When I download a program and I attempt to install it, all I hear is the program name mentioned, then set up, and nothing gets set up. I hope this particular problem is well understood. How can I get to set up these programs when I hear set up, and after a long wait, nothing gets set up or installed. I need help with both issues. Kind regards. Ibrahim. |

Regarding the first problem, it sounds like you either have too many background services running, or your system is simply not powerful enough to run a screen-reader comfortably. Although NVDA is (as far as I know) one of the most lightweight screen-readers around, unfortunately all such programs are necessarily somewhat resource intensive. Without knowing more information (E.G. what version of Windows you're running), I can't say anything more specific. It could also be an issue of NVDA addons. Have you recently installed any? Do you have a lot of addons installed?

Turning to your second issue, have you tried switching to the installer or UAC window? Sometimes they don't always come to the foreground. It could also be a matter of Windows Smart Screen. I believe this is accessible with NVDA, but may need to be switched to as well. Beyond that, I can't help as I have it disabled. On 12/11/2019 11:08, Ibrahim Ajayi wrote:

I would think that these problems are being asked
about because the machine used to work properly, but not now. So the
machine shouldn't be underpowered unless some technical problem has occurred to
cause a performance problem. Is that correct, that the machine used to
work properly?
Also, screen-readers aren't resource
intensive. Running a newer synthesizer uses a fair amount of resources,
but if something like E-Speak is being used, the voice isn't resource
intensive.
Other than hardware problems could be the
cause. It could be that malware is on the machine. what antimalware
programs are you running? I'm not assuming or making much guess about any
cause, now, but software problems are far more common than hardware
problems.
Aside from that, I'm not sure anyone can give
proper help unless someone sees logs of the machine. What do the logs say
happens when you try to install a program? This would be technical
information and someone would have to tell you where to find it.

Firstly, to not update your screenreader, browser or operating system is inherently flawed thinking. Quite apart from anything else, updating these things plugs up security holes and exploits that were found, hense the updates in the first place. While updates have their own inherent bugs, issues, holes and the like, they are constantly being plugged, patched and fixed when they are noticed, or insiders, beta testers and developers find or are notified of them. There are some arguments for not updating, and while they are valid, they are not always practical in that you become susceptible to the aforementioned vulnerabilities. In the case of windows10, it is not too much of a steep learning curb from windows7 and in many respects provides you with better performance and once you get the hang of it, a more efficient way of performing everyday tasks, as well as tweaking and peaking settings. Here's where I may come under fire, because it is my personal belief, that to not update or patch your system, especially in this day and age, where crackers, and please note the term I used, as opposed to hackers, are also getting smarter, is the height of folly and stupidity. I appologise for my harsh words on the subject, but it behooves us as competent computer operators to insure our system is up to date. even if we are not all competent computer operators, it is on us to insure that someone with the requisite knowledge maintains our systems so that they always run smoothly and efficiently.

There is no such thing as the “installer” to turn on. Installer is simply a generic term to describe the various install programs for whichever application you are trying to install. For example NVDA has an install program to install it on your computer. Generally these programs can be identified by the existence of the words install or perhaps setup included in their filename or if they have the filetype msi at the end of the file name. Windows will identify these msi files as install file.i

If you take a look at the Welcome screen there is a check box you can use to stop the box appearing every time you start NVDA. Once you have chosen the settings featured in the box, they will remain in force until you change them in the relevant settings dialogs. It's personal choice but I have only ever used the Welcome dialog After installing a new NVDA version. Once used it's not really required again and just adds time to the start up process. When you hear the 'Loading NVDA' announcement, depending on your machine speed, NVDA will be usable within seconds. When my machine is booting-up for the first time, NVDA starts up with focus on the Desktop. After an NVDA restart, it announces 'Task bar'which is what gains focus when NVDA restarts. If your machine is particularly quick, you may not even hear the 'Loading NVDA' message before NVDA becomes usable. Note: I don't know wat screen area gains focus if you don't have a task bar available, such as when you are in tablet mode. Note also, you do not have to return to the Desktop to restart NVDA, the Desktop icon has a shourtcut associated with it. You can press Control+Alt+n to restart NVDA at any time and when using any app. As someone else has suggested, crashes whilst browsing may be caused by malware, I am not a FireFox user so cannot comment on the stability of that product. When trying to install apps, it sounds like your problem could be caused by the User Account Control dialog (UAC) requiring attention before the app installation can proceed. It is a most annoying situation that NVDA does not move focus to the UAC dialog and you have to alt+Tab around your machine until you land on it. When the UAC dialog is in focus press Alt+y to allow the app installer to run. Cheers Chris -----Original Message -----

Oh my, If you don’t update your system. You are asking for trouble! As for firefox, I never installed it on my new system. I have 3 browsers. That’s good enough. On my old windows 7 Firefox often crashed. I don’t know if it was just the computer itself. It would not let me update firefox. After my 7 box died. I never did install it on this new system. I use IE or Chrome. I am trying Microsoft Edge. Should IE quit working.

My oh My! How does that person do it? Hanging onto an old xp box? Most of those old boxes died! How does that person use that old clunker online? As my windows 7 aged, I found that firefox was getting slower and slower. I had to use it for my online course. When that box kicked the bucket. I ended here on win ten. I never installed firefox on this box like I said in an earlier message. I don’t know how firefox works with win ten. It worked okay when I had my old xp clunker.

The new Microsoft browser that will replace the
current Edge is based on Chrome, the open source version. That is also
what the Google Chrome browser is based on. I suspect that if one
Chrome-based browser has problems with a web page or doesn't do something well
on it, the other one will have the same or similar problems. Therefore, I
would urge you to place Firefox on the machine. You may want to use it as
your secondary browser, for sites that don't work well with Chrome.
Internet Explorer is going to be retired. I don't know when, but I
wouldn't be surprised if it is retired within between one and two years.
And it is very old technologically. It hasn't received anything but
security updates for years.
In short, you are probably using two browsers that
will respond very similarly on web pages and Internet Explorer will be retired
and is already not working well on some web pages because it is so
technologically archaic.

Gene, some sites if you visit them with IE. You are told that this site is not supported. So I go to it using Chrome or edge and it does work.

The new Microsoft browser that will replace the current Edge is based on Chrome, the open source version. That is also what the Google Chrome browser is based on. I suspect that if one Chrome-based browser has problems with a web page or doesn't do something well on it, the other one will have the same or similar problems. Therefore, I would urge you to place Firefox on the machine. You may want to use it as your secondary browser, for sites that don't work well with Chrome. Internet Explorer is going to be retired. I don't know when, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is retired within between one and two years. And it is very old technologically. It hasn't received anything but security updates for years.
In short, you are probably using two browsers that will respond very similarly on web pages and Internet Explorer will be retired and is already not working well on some web pages because it is so technologically archaic.

Oh my, If you don’t update your system. You are asking for trouble! As for firefox, I never installed it on my new system. I have 3 browsers. That’s good enough. On my old windows 7 Firefox often crashed. I don’t know if it was just the computer itself. It would not let me update firefox. After my 7 box died. I never did install it on this new system. I use IE or Chrome. I am trying Microsoft Edge. Should IE quit working.

please read my previous comment. its my decision to use my best version of anythings and its a firm belief for me that nvda 2017.2 and firefox 52.3 are the best for me and i never update them. as windows, xp or seven maybe in the future, do the job and meet my need and i dont use and dont want more. i am very happy of my decision and i appreciate God because of His infinite favours, mercy and blessings!

I didn't say they wouldn't work. I'm saying
that some sites work better in important ways with Firefox and some with
Chrome. I would think that two Chrome-based browsers would handle the same
sites poorly, or would be likely to. I'm saying that using two browsers,
the new Microsoft one, which is still in beta and I don't think you have it yet,
and Chrome from Google, means that you are using two browsers that are too
similar to get the advantage of using a combination like Chrome, any Chrome, and
Firefox.
