accessible version of Seamonkey?

Lisa P Geibel #132 Hi, My husband and I are both totally blind and use a Windows 10 computer with NVDA. I use Thunderbird for my mail client and he used to use Seamonkey until something happened and we had to reinstall it. I got 2.93 and it is very different than the older one he had as no shortcut keys such as alt b to add to favorites or ctrl l to open a URL work. It's only reading things like button and such. The install was a nightmare and he had to do it as the only choices were button and alt button. Please help with finding an accessible version since I was the one that messed it up on him? Thanks. -- Lisa E-Mail: lisapgeibel429@... Facebook: http://facebook.com/ldporter1 Twitter: http://twitter.com/LisaLisa429 Philmore box shared with hubby: 773-572-7897 God bless everyone!!!

Lisa P Geibel #134 Hi Andrea, I'm sorry, I should have given more details. I use Firefox for my browsing, but we both prefer Seamonkey and that was the mail program my husband used, so that's really what we want it for, but I'd love to have it working on the web again like before. Am also trying to find out how to restore the computer to an earlier date before I messed it up in hopes that would fix it. Thanks. Lisa E-Mail: lisapgeibel429@...

Vincent Thacker <vince@...> #135 Hi, Lisa, I've got Seamonkey on my PC, and I don't know what's happened with yours, but it looks much the same as it ever did. I have version 2.39, which I believe is the latest. I wonder if you have menus turned off. Hold down the Alt key until you can find out what's there. If you can get to the View menu, choose Toolbars and make sure that menus are on. A shortcut to save a favorite or bookmark is Control key plus D. If you have Firefox and Thunderbird, you have most of Seamonkey in another form, really. Hope that's some help.

Jacob Kruger #136 Lisa, on the seamonkey download page, there's a heading with a list of something like 200+ old and unofficial versions available for download, so, seems like, as long as you know the version you're looking for, you can find it here: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/#old_unofficial If that page doesn't automatically take you to that heading, look for a heading called old and unofficial releases - and, let us know the version that works, since would also like to try out other mail clients for the various mail accounts I have...<smile> Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA "Roger Wilco wants to welcome you...to the space janitor's closet..." toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 2016-03-04 1:41 PM, Lisa P Geibel wrote: Hi, My husband and I are both totally blind and use a Windows 10 computer with NVDA.

Gene #137 There are a number of things to consider and I hope this message will stir discussion. Doing a system restore might correct the problem but it may not be necessary and the fix may not last long. Unless you have the program set not to automatically update itself and if the latest version isn't accessible, you may have the same problem again. Also, it is not advised to run old versions of browsers for security reasons. I don't know anything about using CMonkey as an e-mail program. I know it is a browser. I would suggest running CMonkey for e-mail since you did it before and using something else as a browser. There are sites that have old versions of software. I don't know which site might have old versions of CMonkey. I would suggest not doing anything until you get more information and until the implications of what you want to do are discussed and understood further.

Lisa P Geibel #138 Hi Vincent, Thank you for getting back. Yes, menu is checked, but there are about 4 or 5 other things below it that are also checked and it doesn't read what they are. I know how to get to the view choice when things act normally, but when I left and right arrow when I'm in the file menu, all I hear is submenu submenu and that's it. Does that help you any? Can you give me any tips on things to have checked or unchecked so it will read better? Please and thanks?. Lisa E-Mail: lisapgeibel429@...

Vincent Thacker <vince@...> #140 Lisa, Sorry, I wasn't quite accurate in my last mail,, but you found the menu items anyway. In Seamonkey, go to View Menu, then Show / Hide, then press the right arrow key to start the submenu with the various toolbars that you can show or hide. There is a further submenu for Website Navigation, which you can again reach by pressing the right arrow key. From the main menu bar, for example, if you are at Bookmarks, the submenu should appear if you press the down arrow. I have no idea why items are not being spoken by NVDA. It may be that some settings have got corrupted , in which case it would be an idea to remove Seamonkey and start again. If NVDA is otherwise working OK, this may be the best option. I remove programs with Revo Uninstaller, which looks for relevant files all over your PC, and so may remove any corrupt material. To get the current version of seamonkey, version 2.39, go to: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-2.39&os=win&lang=en-US That link above should start the installer downloading. In Seamonkey or Firefox, you will get a dialog box asking you to save the file before you can run it.

Lisa P Geibel #214 Hi Vincent, Sorry, we also have the latest version of JAWS, but it won't read anything with that either. Very perplexed by all of this and disappointed in myself. Thanks for all your help. Can't even remove the program and put it back on as it reads the same as the install did. Can't restore the computer to an earlier time before the problems started. Looks like I'm just stuck. Lisa E-Mail: lisapgeibel429@...

valiant8086 #221 Hi. I just went and installed Seamonkey from scratch here, It's been a long time since I used it since I always use Thunderbird portable. Ensure that you're downloading from: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ I'm using jaws at present, but Seamonkey is very similar to Thunderbird and thus rather screen reader friendly for the most part. I'm writing this with it, and this is my first message so hopefully it works. The version I have is 2.39. I wonder if there could be an add-on or interface setting that has made it go all wonky. Did you try redownloading it, are you sure you're downloading from the official site, which appears to be that which I linked above? Worse come to worse, Thunderbird will do most everything Seamonkey does with no necessity to relearn anything, it is almost exactly the same just no web browser built right in. But I think you can fix it by uninstalling Seamonkey and perhaps deleting your settings folder for Seamonkey so it starts from scratch. Press windows key+r, type %appdata% and press enter. When the folder opens, find Mozilla and open it. Now find Seamonkey and delete that puppy. Btw, don't hold me responsible if that breaks something else even though it wouldn't make sense for it to do so. Of course, I'd recommend uninstalling seamonkey then deleting that after uninstallation, then reinstall, hopefully if it is a setting that's the problem the setting in question is not stored in the registry? Good luck and enjoy setting that all up from scratch again! And yes, don't forget about Thunderbird. I've been using it for years, it doesn't seem like it should be too awfully hard a call to switch to that given how similar they are. Granted, I would submit that it shouldn't be necessary, Seamonkey should work fine, definitely is for me.

Greg Wocher #266 Hello, If you are having trouble uninstalling as well there is a free program you can try called revo uninstaller. It works well and it is how I uninstall most of my programs. It can be found at: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html Make sure you get the freware version. The professional version does not work very well with screen readers yet the free version works quite well. This program will help get rid of the program giving you an issue. I too just installed SeaMonkey from scratch with out an issue. I have not used it in a while and may give it another try.

valiant8086 #291 Hi. I'm a newbie at Seamonkey myself, but I can open the email portion of it by pressing ctrl+2. I believe ctrl+1 goes to the web browser.

Ensure that you're downloading from: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ I'm using jaws at present, but Seamonkey is very similar to Thunderbird and thus rather screen reader friendly for the most part. I'm writing this with it, and this is my first message so hopefully it works. The version I have is 2.39. I wonder if there could be an add-on or interface setting that has made it go all wonky. Did you try redownloading it, are you sure you're downloading from the official site, which appears to be that which I linked above? Worse come to worse, Thunderbird will do most everything Seamonkey does with no necessity to relearn anything, it is almost exactly the same just no web browser built right in. But I think you can fix it by uninstalling Seamonkey and perhaps deleting your settings folder for Seamonkey so it starts from scratch. Press windows key+r, type %appdata% and press enter. When the folder opens, find Mozilla and open it. Now find Seamonkey and delete that puppy. Btw, don't hold me responsible if that breaks something else even though it wouldn't make sense for it to do so. Of course, I'd recommend uninstalling seamonkey then deleting that after uninstallation, then reinstall, hopefully if it is a setting that's the problem the setting in question is not stored in the registry? Good luck and enjoy setting that all up from scratch again! And yes, don't forget about Thunderbird. I've been using it for years, it doesn't seem like it should be too awfully hard a call to switch to that given how similar they are. Granted, I would submit that it shouldn't be necessary, Seamonkey should work fine, definitely is for me.

The Pro version, which includes a 30-day free fully functional trial, works on either 32-bit or 64-bit systems and programs. Brian

Kevin Cussick #329 well your lucky it doesn't work for anyone else. are you not using the pro version? I have asked loads of people and even the support people who make this program and thy even told me it only will see 32 bit programs. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 05/03/2016 23:24, Greg Wocher wrote: Hello, I use it on my 64bit windows 10 laptop all the time with no issues what so ever.

It works well and it is how I uninstall most of my programs. It can be found at: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html Make sure you get the freware version. The professional version does not work very well with screen readers yet the free version works quite well. This program will help get rid of the program giving you an issue. I too just installed SeaMonkey from scratch with out an issue. I have not used it in a while and may give it another try.

In Seamonkey, go to View Menu, then Show / Hide, then press the right arrow key to start the submenu with the various toolbars that you can show or hide. There is a further submenu for Website Navigation, which you can again reach by pressing the right arrow key. From the main menu bar, for example, if you are at Bookmarks, the submenu should appear if you press the down arrow. I have no idea why items are not being spoken by NVDA. It may be that some settings have got corrupted , in which case it would be an idea to remove Seamonkey and start again. If NVDA is otherwise working OK, this may be the best option. I remove programs with Revo Uninstaller, which looks for relevant files all over your PC, and so may remove any corrupt material. To get the current version of seamonkey, version 2.39, go to: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-2.39&os=win&lang=en-US That link above should start the installer downloading. In Seamonkey or Firefox, you will get a dialog box asking you to save the file before you can run it.

Hi Vincent, Thank you for getting back. Yes, menu is checked, but there are about 4 or 5 other things below it that are also checked and it doesn't read what they are. I know how to get to the view choice when things act normally, but when I left and right arrow when I'm in the file menu, all I hear is submenu submenu and that's it. Does that help you any? Can you give me any tips on things to have checked or unchecked so it will read better? Please and thanks?. Lisa E-Mail: lisapgeibel429@...

Lisa P Geibel #339 Hi Vincent, Thanks for your help. Yes, i can use IE just fine with no problems and Firefox too for that matter. Thunderbird as well. All these problems seem to be Seamonkey specific for either the mail or web portions. Lisa E-Mail: lisapgeibel429@...
